A science fiction forest.** The Trees Behind the Books “He’s never done anything like this before.” Simon was always a cautious boy, a good boy. He always did what he was told by his parents, relatives, teachers, any authority figure. He had good friends, the same friends for years. Although he had experienced fun in his life, he never set

I wandered through each aisle going through the motions, picking up things off the shelves and mindlessly putting them in my trolley. I didn’t realise that the Dolmio

Beyond Belief** Landing on Time It was empty, which was odd for an airport. I walked through the gate and no-one was there, you would think an airport would be busy, but I guess it isn’t in the middle of the night. It was easy for me to grab a trolley for my luggage and make my way through it

Write the worst story you can possibly write.** The Short Story This is a short story. This is a short story that is slightly longer. This is a short story that is even longer than the slightly longer story. This is a short story that is even longer than the longer than the slightly longer story, longer to the point
