Post Apocalypse.

Slowly, I gazed my eyes upon the barren wasteland, tumbleweeds and dust its only occupants. Garbage surrounds me, I feel as if its my only friend, but I know there are others. The sand that was once piled up in dunes had long since fell and been piled up in walls by the polluted air. The leaveless trees seem to trudge along the horizon, in search of hope.

My True Love

Oh fridge, you held my chilled heart, it melted when you were away

It ached for your simple hum of electricity at night, 

You held my juice, my cheese and choc mousse. 

My love for you was everlasting... Until I met the freezer.

Sentence of the Day

Describe in detail: A deserted beach.

The beach was deserted, not a soul in sight. The seagulls screeching overhead was not the most pleasant of sounds, while the sound of the sea lapping against the white sun-kissed sand was peaceful.

The water is crisp and fresh, as though you were taking a dip in freezing cold water then jumping in a hot spa.

The girl with hair like flames by Poppy

If you go down main street, follow all the signs. Go left then right, and you'll find yourself at the start of Gooseberry Lane. Down at the bottom of the lane there is a huge house, covered in thick green ivy. 

In the attic a of that house there lives girl called Paige, Paige was ten years old. She was known for her hair, which is the colour of flames.

Sometimes you can see her sitting in her room looking out the window,her green eyes piercing through you. She is the black sheep of the family, her mum, dad, brother and sister all had black hair.

Her dad had banished her to the attic when she was 7 years old because she had red hair, her dad called her mean things like a "freak of nature".

Because of all the time she spent alone she had never made a friend, but sometimes she swears she can see a boy about her age across the street in a attic, with hair like flames.

Sometimes she waves, but he never waves back, every day she wakes up and looks out her window, hoping to see the boy with hair like flames.
