...we were moving very fast... by Grace B

We were patiently waiting in a lay-by for it to happen. Suddenly, a cow flew across the sky in front of my stationary van. I quickly ran to the back of the van to look at the radar, I immediately noticed that a tornado was coming our way. I swiftly hopped back in to the driver’s seat and put my foot down. We were moving very fast when I noticed that the tornado was one mile behind us! I took my seatbelt off and grabbed the camera and took many photos. I put my seatbelt on and drove away.

Magical Powder by Tyler S

One warm sunny day I was jumping high on my trampoline when I noticed something green sparkling on the roof. I came off the trampoline to get a closer look. It had a bright yellow outline that glowed. It looked like it was going to fall off the roof, then it came down the drainpipe and grew larger. I wondered what it could be. I picked it up and it made a twinkling sound. All of a sudden it melted into me and I became transparent! I felt so powerful! Now I can do anything I want without being seen.......

I screamed.
On the roof the house stood a gigantic hairy tarantula. I t must have been 6 feet tall with 30 centimetre hairs on each of its legs. Its jaws looked like it could swallow me whole. It came down the drainpipe. I think it looked hungry.... hungry for me. Scuttling towards me, its jaws clicking and snapping, white oozing fluid seeped out of its abdomen. The monster circled me like a record on repeat, wrapping me up in a cocoon... preparing its meal. Threads tugged at my throat, forcing me to choke. Then everything stopped.... and everything went black.

February 7th a crisp, cold, sunny day. The day Matt has to clean the guttering out. He hates to this because he hates heights so he tries to get it over quickly. While he was up there he dropped his cloth and it fell down the drainpipe. He quickly noticed and slid down his ladder and ran to the bottom. It came down the drainpipe but got wedged when it was just about to come out. Matt had enough, he got a crow bar and tried to get it out but he couldn’t seem to budge it oh no!

… it came down the drainpipe… Jakub

I went for a stroll around the city looking to do something. After a half an hour of my stroll, I went back home. I heard something coming down the drain; it was a map. I ran inside the house to show dad. My dad did not know what it was so he gave it back to me he asked curiously, "Where did you find it?"  
"It came down the drainpipe." I said. "I will put it in my room." 
Dad said, "Ok." 
 I put it in the cabinet under the desk. I wondered where that map came from then it disappeared!...

The moon glowed red. Everyone’s eyes were bloodshot. Now the Earth was a zombie following the moon as it slowly drifted sideways. Even the houses were haunted by the moons hypnotic stare; fire places suddenly burst out colossal flames of orange and scarlet. Something bad was happening. Then the moon started started to get smaller rapidly until “BAM!” the moon had popped. Everyone woke up from their trance confused and worried. They took shelter under a near by tree as it rained a shaft of moonbeams. It came down the drainpipe, before disappearing into the ground never to be seen again.

… it came down the drainpipe…,by Ella

As you walk past the rusty school gates they yawn, opening their jaws to eat people into the school. As you're being swallowed, your eyes catch a glimpse of an old drainpipe that spits out goo to the playground, it looks like its thrown up black liquorice and makes a squelching sound. Rumour has it once a boy got pushed into it and was sucked up. His spirit was trapped inside the pipe where it was contained until the goodness was absorbed. The drainpipe released the goo that was left,it came down the drainpipe. Now, the school searches for its next victim.

… it came down the drainpipe… by Daisy

It was an ordinary day. Nothing unusual about it, I sat playing a game on my phone listening to music. Then everything changed.

It came down the drainpipe, the most enormous spider you had ever seen! I froze so did the spider, it seemed to be staring right back at me. Even though it was impossible to see its eyes. Then it scurried so fast and went under the chair. I grabbed a cup and waited, then it was trapped. I got it in the cup and ran to the door and shut it tight.

As I looked around another was coming down the drainpipe…Nooo!

… it came down the drainpipe…, Olivia W

I always found it weird that we had a massive drainpipe, it's embarrassing when my friends used to come around, they used to laugh at it and say, "Oh look at the drainpipe" Ashly said, "I bet something will come out of it soon" Jessica said, they all laughed at the jokes they made. All of the things everyone started saying about it slowly became true. One day I was walking back home from school and it was quite dark out, I saw a clown up ahead it walked passed.
Later that night, it came down the drainpipe...

… it came down the drainpipe… ,by Estera

On Friday 13th I was walking to my nan's when I saw something falling from the radiant sky. It came down the drainpipe of a strange building and onto the concrete path. I wondered what it was so I went up closer to take a look at it. It was strange and cool at the same time. It looked like some sort of little compact time machine. It was blue and red with a lot of different buttons. I put it into my bag. When I came back home I pressed one of the red buttons and suddenly teleported...

“Help, Help someone has stolen my authentic necklace! Help!” Screamed the 27 year old woman. Later, the woman called the police. Soon the police arrived with some interviewers from the BBC and much more. All crowded round her the woman thought she could tell the police and the interviewers how it happened. “Hello Madam could you tell me what happened please?” questioned one of the newspaper reporters. Later on, it was like a ghost town, we all heard it drop; we all stood there in astonishment. It came down the drainpipe. What was it? How did it get there?

The Family by Tyler S

"What is in there?"asked the child to its parents that were standing nearby.
"I have absolutley no idea." answered one parent.
"Me neither," replied the other. "It just dosen't look natural," Odd looking objects everywhere."
"They are not speaking or moving," the child observed "it all looks so weird,not like us at all."
"I wonder what they are made of," spoke the first parent.
"Well I think it is boring," sighed the child "There is nothing for us to do here. Let's go home."
"Let's find the nearest portal and go back home," they agreed.

"OK, so let's have a vote on what game we shall play, ready?" I questioned. "Yeah!" screamed both the kids. 
"OK, so hands up for Standing Still." Everyone put their hands up. "OK then." I said droopily, as it was my least favourite game. I was hoping for something else like Tig, or as some people call it, Tag. I don't really know why the kids like it so much, it's just standing still and hoping nobody will rob you, because if they do, guess what? You have to stand still and hope it was a prank, "You know what? Lets just go home."

Talking Statues by Ella

Statues, families of statues, all over town. Appearing one by one. If you stand and stare for long enough you can hear their whispers in the wind, all at once. It is hard to make out what they're saying. You can make out one of them is a child talking to a Mum, "Mum can they hear us?" it squeals.
"I don't know, honey." she replies in a hopeless voice.
They were trapped inside stone bodies and couldn't get out. People wondered and made up many interesting stories about them that would spread like a virus across the whole town.

The Bollard Family by Clara

“We stand here all day, yet hardly no-one ever notices us,” the bollard on the right (the father) stated.
“That’s not true. I can see the reflection of a man taking pictures of us,” the middle bollard (the mother) replied coolly.
“Hey! I didn’t ask you to take photos of us! I could report you to the Justice League of Bollards. They could take down all of humanity,” the father shouted, but of course no-one heard him because he was a bollard. But, the man had already walked on, just like they always did. Never thinking the bollards could speak.

Talking Statues by Grace E

''I hate this so much!'' said the tallest member of my family. 

''We'll be freed soon.'' I said. 

''Yeah right.'' 

I tried to stare at my mother but my head was so frozen I was only able to move my mouth. Ever since me and my family had been frozen as statues 5 years ago I hadn't been able to move. I wondered what my family looked like now. My head had been frozen in a position in which I could only see the water fountain at the front of the massive shopping mall. I could hear my mother sigh. 

Talking Statues by Jakub

The three statues of people stay there forever and gaze at pedestrians. They were talking about what these people are doing. They asked each other, "Are they making a picture of us or are they making fun of us? Who knows?"  

The little one is a child and the bigger statues are his parents. You don’t know what gender they are. They asked the child, "Do you know what they might be doing?" 

 "No," responded the child.  

Everyday people came to look at the at these statues. Whenever anyone came to take a picture with the statues they would never say a word. 

Talking statues by Scarlett

"Please can we go, I heard its really interesting?" asked mum. It was Saturday morning and they had decided to go for out in the city. Mum wanted it to be quite educational so wanted to head north to the cathedral. Dad wanted to see the local football stadium which was in the south of the city. Charlie didn’t want to go for a walk and just wanted to go back home and play on his new Xbox with his friends. As they couldn’t come to a mutual agreement, they settled on watching the world go by, still as statues.

"Sidney, Move!" shouted mum before grabbing her and running to a nearby café for shelter.

"Daddy!" screamed Sidney, kicking her legs and slapping her mother. Her father came running behind, shielding his family from harm.

"Stay away!" he implored, "What have my family ever done to you?" But it was too late, airplanes were already crowding around them, their cannons full of stone bullets. All they could do now was hug and pray. Suddenly they could hear voices starting to count down from ten, "Nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one!"
Bang! They had been turned to stone.

The statues by Maddie

The family were trying to decide which restaurant they want to eat at. 
"There are; Bill's around the corner, Nando's across the road but behind us there's a Pizza Express." explained the father to his wife and daughter.
 A few hours passed and they still hadn't decided but eventually the daughter tried to move but noticed they were all stuck to the pavement. 
"AHHH!!" shouted the parents. 
They were mortified and started trying to pull themselves free but they couldn't. They realised that they'd taken too long to decide and turned in to stone statues. What a strange thing!
