Story #2

Smoothie?

It was right in front of me. It was boiling, but cold at the same time. It had a green-ish color and smelled really bad. The slime-like substance moved around in the cup. ‘Drink everyone, drink!’ yelled the teacher. The other students didn’t have the same substance. Theirs was…

normal? But mine wasn’t. I noticed immediately. I drank it anyway, and then it happened. Poof! I was slowly turning green and my body became bigger and bigger. It didn’t hurt. I didn’t even realize at first. I only realized when everyone started screaming and yelling and pointing at me. Big green hairs grew over my body. By now I was like 4 meters high. Then two minutes passed, two minutes of complete silentness. Apparently, this was the experiment! Turning ME into a monster! I couldn’t believe it. Luckily, the science teacher had made a medicine and I turned back.

Story #3

Krrr krrrr krr. The sound of the elevator is terrifying in the dark. Suddenly the elevator stops, the doors open slowly. For a couple of seconds I see nothing. I hear all the people cheering. I look around and my eye stays on one person. The man in the middle, the emperor, my dad. I have to fight here because two weeks ago my dad didn’t want to pay his slaves, later that day I sneak in his room and pay all the slaves. One of my dad's servants saw me and said it to my dad. So here I stand. Across the arena I see my opponent. One moment my voice in my head said that I can win easily with my training as an officer. My opponent is not very big and tall. Then the start signal sounds. Is this the ending or just the beginning?

Story #4

Look, a red button. What would happen when I push on it? Maybe a bomb explodes or all windows will break. I could try, but what if it’s a bomb? We're almost at the red button. Should I push? I imagine my hand lying on the button, I push and… ‘Aaah!’ I was shocked. We heard a boom and the fire alarm. I only pretended, right? We walk outside fast. What happened? I imagined I pushed on the button and then, this happened. Was it me?

'Someone pressed a red button.' I heard. I was sure I only pretended! When they were sure it was safe, we finally could go back inside. 'In the biology classroom, someone pressed a button.' Someone tells us. That isn't where we were. We walk to the classroom. Then we all start laughing. Next to the red button we see a scared bunny!

Story #5

In my school there was this boy, who was very, very greedy. He would always steal money from the younger kids, who wanted to buy a waffle in the cafeteria. ‘HAND OVER YOUR LUNCH MONEY NOW!’ He would shout. Years passed and the very greedy boy is now a very greedy man. He was a well-known businessman, until about a month ago. He is still well-known, but for the fact that the gluttonous man had passed away. The last words he had said were: ‘please forgive me for my selfishness, I know that I was wrong’ Then he closed his eyes, and no one ever heard about the greedy man again. The man is now swimming in money, but the money is in hell. He had to pay for his greed, but the money he had once stolen was useless now.
