The silence was deafening. Stoughton and Morris were
down to their last rocks in the final game of the world cup of curling. Morris,
his face as red as a fire truck, had one chance to steal the game away from
Stoughton. The rock felt heavier than he
remembered, his hands shaking. As the rock left his fingers he turned around
and slowly looked back to see his rock in the 4 foot, an inch away from the
button. It all came down to Stoughton. Cool as a cucumber, he cleaned the
debris off his rock. He gently slid down the ice and released his hand.

100 Word Challenge Week 20
Chugga Chugga Chugga Choo
CHOO! CHOO! The train whistled as the last few people were
boarding. My family hopped on, well, that was the plan but only my three-year-old
brother Adam made it before the doors slammed shut into my fathers face. As the
train chugged away, my mom was in shock. Adam was miserable. Other passengers didn’t know what to do. To cheer him up a kind elder with grey hair offered him a ham sandwich. As my brother was crying, he saw a hyena try to climb
to the top of his cage. The train
finally came to a complete stop and Adam crawled into my mother’s arms.

100 Word Challenge - Week 18
It was a dark and scary night at the lake and my
insane mother decided the family should go on a boat ride and swim in the water.
We were not very happy but to keep my mom from crying we all agreed to go.
Finally we got out to the middle of the lake and all jumped off the boat into
the freezing, murky water. There was
something curling up my leg as my mind raced and thought, “What was that I could
feel?” Was it the Lochness monster? Could it be a turtle? But I was pulled
under before I could finish my thoughts.

100 Word Challenge - Week 17
I was out cold, my mouth was numb and
there was a light in my eyes. The light was so bright it was like being an
astronaut working for N.A.S.A. floating right next to the sun. I could hear
banging, like a contractor smashing the concrete with a sledgehammer. Coming
from the light there were magical ponies flying through the sky and fairies
sprinkling their fairy dust on to my tongue. Suddenly there was this weird mint
flavor and I heard a strange voice. I woke up from a dream and there I was in a
dentist chair with this bright light in my eyes.

100 Word Challenge - Week 10
"Hey Bob do you want to
go to the new reptile garden?" asked Bobby.
"Ya sure" said
Bob, "can we invite Billy Bob Jr.?"
"Why
not" replied Bobby. “Let’s go ask
him.”
Later
that day all three were stuck in traffic. When they got to the reptile garden
they saw a…
Snake!
They ran
and looked behind them and saw that the snake was shivering. As it shivered, they
stopped and went to see what was going on. As they approached the snake it
jumped up at them and bit Bobby! Bobby was dead.
“Shoot!”
Said Bob, “he owed me 5 bucks! Oh well.”
