Anna's writing entry

A few students from our class have decided to enter a writing competition. The competition has to be under 2000 words in a creative writing format of the writer's choice. Students who have chosen to enter have taken an entry form from the library and are writing during their own free time. Below is an entry from Anna which has some amazing detail and description. Well done Anna and we wish you luck!

The Shadow

“Flick,” on goes the Bright light. It casts a blinding light

onto every little thing. But Behind it, creeping up the

dead, dry wall is a shadow. It‘s a dark, living creature

that creeps up walls and floors like a stampede of

barging ants. it invades the tiny room casting it into one,

dark, terrible shadow.

where ever you go your dead, real shadow will follow you,

as it clings onto your giant feet. it will infect the insides,

tearing at you soul trying to get away. but it doesn’t move

a single, small muscle it only moves soundlessly where

and whenever you move, copying your every sudden

movement.

From dawn till dusk it changes. it changes, trying to scare

you away from it’s terrible, dark body. It turns from big to

small, giant to little and big to small again. changing is

it’s only frightening weapon.

shadows can rip people apart like a shredder cutting

paper. people see the horrible, terrifying shadow of a

creature that can kill you in a blink of an eye, then you

die of terror and fright. they can also creep up to you

like tiny ants then climb up your delicate, soft body and

strangle, or eat you to death so that there are only hard

crushed bones left on the cold, stone pavement.

“flick,” off goes the light, it is dark. All is well and the

deadly shadows are now shrinking back into the dark

corner of your bedroom. they are waiting for the bright

light to turn back on and the mayhem will happen again.
