Trapped!

I ran through the thick fog trying to get back to the city I could just make out the shape of a shed.  I ran towards the shed hoping to find someone to help me.  As I slowed to a jog I realised the shed door was unlocked and the only thing that was holding it was holding an old metal chain.  I undid it suddenly the world went black around me.

While I was coming to I felt how cold the floor was and the smell was over powering.  When my eyes adjusted metal bars surrounded me.  Two red eyes floated in mid air scaring me so much my heart felt like it was about to explode!  As the eyes floated towards me out of the shadows I realised it was the hideous Grim Reeper.  “Hello my friend I see you have woken up, “said the rasping voice of the Grim Reeper.  The voice of the Grim Reeper pierced my ears.  I screamed, “Help! “ “Nobody can hear you out here in the thick fog,” he replied.  Then, I heard the old chain move someone else was at the door.  The Grim Reeper walked towards the door of the shed thud!  He came back one minute later with another prisoner.  Dragging him along the floor the Grim Reeper shoved the male prisoner into my cell then walked away.  Once the prisoner had woken up I explained to him where he was.  “We have to make a plan to get out of this situation,” he said firmly.  “Okay Kade let’s get thinking,” I answered quickly.  I realised that the Grim Reeper had been listening to the whole conversation.  “There is no way you can escape from here,” he hissed.  After the Grim Reeper walked away I wondered, would I ever make a getaway?

That night I started planning Kade and I would need to work together to get back home.  As I looked around the cell I saw the key it was on a hook I would never be able to reach it.  Then I saw a broom against the wall I woke Kade and told him my plan.  He whispered, “We will both have to grab the broom to knock the keys.  Kade tried to grab the broom but he fumbled.  The broom fell towards the cell luckily he caught it before it hit the ground.  He pulled the broom into the cell I helped him knock the keys off the wall.  It was difficult but we managed it.  As I picked up the keys they slipped out of my hands clang!  The Grim Reeper came sprinting out as quick as lightning he spotted us and quickly grabbed the keys.  “I told you there is no way to escape, “muttered the Grim Reeper.  Kade hid the broom behind his back.  Once the Grim Reeper walked away I knocked the keys off the wall and threw them to Kade he caught the keys and shoved them into the lock.  We opened the door creak!  The Grim Reeper came back.  Kade and I ran for the shed door I tripped but Kade pushed the Grim Reeper out of the way and gave me just enough time to get up.  We ran out of the shed door sprinting straight ahead I finally found a road.  I ran straight along the road Kade following close behind I ran back to my street.  I waved good-bye to my new friend and went home.

The biggest failure

This doesn’t look like a racetrack I thought as I face planted while hopping out of my jeep. “What’s up dude,” said a voice. “Not me that’s for sure,” I replied.

“The names Bob.”

 “John” I told him as I brush the dust off my shirt “so what car will I be driving I ask.

A little while later the ground started to rumble. “HOLY!” I screamed as this humongous skyscraper of machinery blocked out the sun. “What . . . is . . . that?” I stuttered.

“ This Bob” said proudly, “is the Terex titan.

“ I drive cars not this!” I shouted gesturing to the truck. “ Sorry,” my boss said. I am going to fail big time I thought as I went to sleep.

“The first test will be a series of maneuvers through the mine.” Bob instructed me pointing to the titan. I gulped as I climbed in to the cab. And put on my headset. “You okay up there?” Bob asked. “ Yep”

“Just ease down the accelerator,” Bob instructed me nervously knowing that I cant drive trucks especially the biggest one in the world. “ Just a bit more,” Bob coaxed me.

“NOT THAT MUCH!” Bob screamed at me mid turn as I lost control and the back of the truck slammed into a concrete wall but it was such a big truck that it shattered the wall and did a 360 degree turn. Then the tire hit a rock and popped.

As we hopped out we could see the damage I’ve made. It looked all right, from the front that is. We got the real deal when we looked at the back. The back of the tipper was just dangling there! The worst part was the tire. Half of it was ripped to shreds.

 “ Sorry” I mumbled

“SORRY DOESN’T CUT IT!” Bob screamed at me. “ Go into town and get me a new truck,” Bob said calmly for some reason that scared me even more than when he’s yelling.

2 million dollars later, I’ve gotten a new and hired a driving a driving company to drive it there for me. “ Good decision to get someone to drive it here instead of you,” Bob said happy with the titan. “Thanks,” I said relief flooding through me.
