Spooky Story WK3T4


Yesterday on Halloween, our teacher showed us a video of the mexican tradition, Day of the Dead. It was an animated video and we got given a few choices. I picked to do a first person perspective of the main character. I wrote a story in less than 30 minutes. Watch the video first then see what I wrote. I have changed it a little, but it still works. Hope you like it! Here is the link for the video.

And here is my writing! ( It might be a bit boring to read, Sorry )

Hey, Mum? Could I go to granny's grave? I beg mother.
Sure! Here, bring this flower for me. And be back in half an hour.
I walk out the door towards the cemetery. I can see her in the distance.
I arrive at the gargantuan gates. There it is. People have placed plants and painted skulls around her. I kneel looking at the photo. A tear slowly rolls down my cheek. It drops onto the coarse dirt. Suddenly out of nowhere, A little sprout appears. Growing and growing until it blossoms a beautiful blue rose. I put my hand out to pick it, It thrusts forward onto my wrist, I yanked my wrist back and struggle. It almost feels like it's pulling me back down. All of a sudden, the vigorous plant pulls me through the dirt. THUMP. I slam down onto the ground hard, Somehow, I am not hurt. I look up, except there is nothing to look at. There is only pitch-black darkness. Apart from the one gorgeous blue flower. Nothing. Then, a skeleton appears out of the void. 2 more appear beside it, I scrabble backwards, grabbing the flower. Then the skeletons pull out… 

A guitar?! I sit there confused, then lights appear and it looks like they are standing on a small stage. They then start playing the most amazing music I've ever heard. I skeleton comes out behind me and drags me over to a table. The skeleton looks like a female. She pulls out a huge kitchen cleaver. My heart races... Oh no, What is she going to do to me? She then grabs a melon and cuts it up. Whew. She then makes it into a beautiful flower and passes it across the table. It's amazing! I think. I wouldn't dare say it out loud because I'm also filled with shock. She comes around and picks me up off the table.  She runs over to something looking like a closet. She puts a bright white short dress in front of me, I shake my head. She puts a nice cornflower blue shirt in front of me. I nod my head. It looks amazing. Then, the darkness dissipates and shes in a beautiful purple dress. We are surrounded by other people dancing merrily. She picks up some flowers and smells them. Then the skeleton starts turning into a beautiful woman, my granny! I run over to her and I give her a big hug. One tear starts rolling down my cheek, then another and another. She kneels and wipes the tear away. She pulls out the flower from her pocket and puts it in my hair. All of a sudden everything goes black, then I hit the ground at the foot of granny's grave. I look down at the photo and feel the flower in my hair. I get up and skip outside the cemetery down to mother to tell her what happened.
