One day I was walking down the street, I came back from the oval to see a cat strolling next to me. I walked, it followed. The cat was annoying. I ran. I turned back and saw the cat still following me. I
sprinted. The cat was still following me. I ran back and asked the cat what it was doing. It said “I’m a spy.” I ran again. I stopped. I’m so annoyed now.
I looked up. I saw a fireball falling next to me. I ran. I jumped, I dodged the fireball. I ran again. I jumped again. I fell. I got up. I saw the cat next to me. The cat spy said, “I need to help the world. Today is dooms day. I need your help.” I said “What?!” The cat disappeared. I wondered to myself if it was just an illusion.
I kept on walking. I went back to my house. I looked around, everything was burned to the ground. I looked in my bedroom, I looked around and nothing was burnt to the ground. I said “Was that another illusion?” I got annoyed, my mum came in. She said “Time for dinner sport.” I said “What happened?”
I looked around then everything was burned to the ground. I looked outside, everything was gone. I was falling to the ground. I woke up and walked outside, everything was on fire. I went back inside to grab the phone. I went back outside and called 000. I said “Emergency.” I found out it was just a recorded message. I keep on yelling “Emergency, emergency!!” I ran away so I didn’t get burnt. I saw my mums red car. I keep on running and saw no one inside. I said “This is another illusion.”
This time I’m getting really annoyed. I yelled and screamed. I jumped inside the car and got under cover. The car got a fireball on it. The car was rolling down the hill. I jumped out. I rolled so much then I stopped myself. Then I ran and ducked then I looked up. The earth was getting invaded by aliens. I said “That’s where all the fireballs came from.” I threw a rock at the UFO then the aliens said “Ahh, my worst nightmare!” I kept throwing rocks and smashed the glass. They flew back to outer space. I said “They won’t be coming back again.” Everything went back to normal.
