2015
I am a granny, some people think I am a plain old granny, but no, I am incredible!! I always find justice in games and adventures. My name is Bulsi.
As I sleepily slumped into my arm chair, like an old man, I felt like I was being drenched with tiredness, but as the game started up, I was dried with excitement. I tried to push myself up another level but i just couldn’t, so I stayed.
Suddenly the room starts spinning like a merry go-round and the wind rushed throughout the room like a hurricane. I started to feel dizzy I was desperate for a glass of icy cold water, it felt like I was drowning even though there isn't any water.
Like a spring, I was getting sucked into the game like a vacuum cleaner, my heart was pumping like a disco ball in my chest and then everything Stopped! The room was all glitchy and where was I? I was scared. As high pitched bells started to ring and heaps of things started appearing, It came to me that I was in The Wheel Of Death Game.
This game is torture and I’m supposed to be looking after the kids but then in the glimpse of my beady eyes, a change swept over me. Suddenly my nose was getting bigger and my butt was getting fatter and I was looking more like Nikki Minaj. I am the player called ‘Betty’ in the game. No offence to Betty but she’s kind of overweight.
I could see the kids trying to get past the wrecking ball that made me feel woozy. The two hopeless kids had fallen like sticks. I ran to them, heaved them over my shoulder and ran. I knew the way, and I also know were the enchanted key was. I dodged the ball but I was suddenly feeling outta gas, sizzling sweat was gushing down me like a waterfall, I felt drenched it was flooding over my clothes. I was melting, literally melting, I just then realized i was still ‘Betty’. I hurtle over the dip and gush up the stairs, mist that had a cinnamon tinge to it was flowing around me like pleading ghosts ready to kill me. I moved a rock which slid off the magical key like a silky ribbon. My greasy hand curled around the magical key. My heart was pumping like footsteps in my chest I WAS FREE!!! YAY!! The door swung open and the sun was streaming in and I knew I had saved the day, I even changed my look of Nikki Minaj.
P.S everyone was safe and we all pretended that nothing ever happened, and totally everyone has been in a game that you could die in, totally, Right?
