Venture into new worlds with writing from 10B. This week it's Louis Brown who takes on the fantasy genre with his story "Blockformers".

Blockformers

We leave a very dull maths class. I just spent one whole hour of my life doing nothing but learning boring maths. I leave class and walk over to the canteen. I hear a loud scream that says, “Look up!” Everyone around me looks up in unison. The sky looks different. It looks fake like someone has put a glass dome over us. I turn to the guy beside me, we both lock eyes and feel the same way. Scared and confused. Then the earth starts shaking violently and we all fall to our knees. The earthquake feels never-ending.

I get up to uncertainty. The block of buildings has encircled us and grown to a massive height of 150 metres. No one has said anything, no one knows what to say. We all stand there watching in amazement. Then the buildings start to move into five massive 100 ft tall stone soldiers. One of the stone soldiers stomps towards the one closest to him, the others remain still. They go face to face, one monster clenches its fist. Then it throws its arm back and punches the other in the middle of its face. The punch is like two buildings crashing into each other. The soldier flies backwards and hits the ground with incredible force. The three others all start to move toward each other in a fight to the death.

The battle commences. Everyone around me starts running in a panic. Nobody knows where to go, and what to do. But I suddenly have a plan. I open my bag and pull out my maths book. I swiftly rip a piece of paper out of my book, at least it's good for something. I run over to the nearest soldier and throw the paper up in the air. The paper starts to grow to the size of the soldier. You can see the fear on its face as the paper wraps it up. The paper then crushes the rock and a massive pile of dust blows all over the place. The other stones all turn to face the paper. The paper starts to grow to the size of a skyscraper. One of the stone soldiers makes the first move and rushes the paper. The paper makes a very impressive karate move and launches itself at the incoming danger. Hurtling backwards the soldier collides with the others. The paper looking like he’s winning this battle jumps on top of the pile of rocks. And does the same thing he did to the first one. All that is left of the stone soldiers is a massive pile of dust.

I watch as the paper shrinks and floats back into my maths book. The pile of dust starts swirling like a tornado. It keeps growing and growing upwards and transforms back into the school block buildings.

I look around me, everyone is standing in stunned silence. I’m still confused about how this all happened and if it was a dream. The silence is abruptly interrupted by the loud screech of the school bell. Next thing I hear a voice, “Get back to class!” It's the Principal. We head back to our classes. “How did you know to do that?” Asks my friend. I laugh, “Everyone knows paper beats rock.”
