I have been writing some short story's this afternoon and I would like to share them with you here are some examples of my work, in the comments write which short story was your favourite.


Cats Eyes
In the inky blackness of the shadows, she blended in perfectly. Her saucer-like eyes and sleek whiskers were all that could be seen. She was delibritly hiding; her colour and keen sight were her greatest allies. What she had glimpsed at the other side of the candlelit room was troubling, and arching her back, she perpared to move in an insant.

Circle Of Flames
It was the smell of smoke that drew him towards the door....... When he reached it,  a blanket of grey, wispy smoke crept out from underneath, crawling over his shoes like a colony of ants.  Thrusting the door open, he was hit by a wall of intense heat. In the center of the room was a circle of fire. The deadly, golden flames danced into the air as they devoured the wooden floor. Panic set in. What had caused the fire? What could he do to stop it?

The Sunflower
Lucy had only planted the seeds minutes earlier. Now, it was growing in front of her eyes! The earth began to tremble as the sunflower grew thicker and thicker, taller and taller. With no sign of stopping, the plant seemed to be reaching up towards the sun. She held on tightly, not daring to look at the earth disappearing behind her.

The Greatest Storm
The wind howled menacingly like a wolf at a full moon. Lightning licked across the evil sky; a serpents tounge tormenting the clouds. The earth began to shatter..........

Raining Diamonds
It blazed across the sky like a shooting star, lighting up the countryside for miles around, trailing behind it a tail of brilliant blue light. People gazed nervously out of their bedroom windows, marveling at the beautiful and mysterious object hurtling by. In the morning, as the dust began to settle, it became clear what had fallen from the heavens............... The diamond was vast! It was the size of a fully grown, adult blue whale. Glistening in the morning sunlight, the diamond reflected powerful beams of blinding light in all directions like a lighthouse. Crowds began to gather............

The Jefferson's House
When the Jefferson family was out, their house came alive with activity. Every morning, when Mr and Mrs Jefferson headed off to work, and their children ran along to the bus stop to catch their ride to school, the signal for  " all clear" would sound, and out of the wood work the little people came.......

Star Gazer
As an astronomer, Peter believed he had the best job in the world! Ever since he was a boy, Peter had been fascinate with stars, planets, moons, comets and galixies. Any celestual object that he has witnessed had Peter enraptured. As he stood alone on the frozen surface of the lake, wrapped up well against the bitterly cold wind, Peter glimpsed something extradinary through his telescope. It was in moments like these that Peter felt truly alive.....

The Troll
Thump! He slammed his enormous, grass-covered foot into the middle of the road, sending shock wave of dust in all directions. With a load grunt, the troll wrenched the entire, fully tiled roof off a nearby holiday home, with owners peering helplessly and frightened out of the downstairs window. He didn't mean any harm, but he just couldn't help himself......

The Shadow
If you look very closely at night, as the mist disappears, the shadow still stands there guarding his home. No one has ever seen him, only his shadow. His boat travels silently up and down the river every night. High in the tree, the door remains shut, lit only by a single light.
