Story 401
Death or Not?
by Smiles Angel Azah Som
In the heart of the woods lies an orphanage ruled by hefty vines and engulfed by crawling ivy. In the frayed moonlight it glistens, and the impenetrable brambles hack away at the battered cobblestone, hungry for more.
The trees sway in the groaning wind, and the night becomes a raven girl, Vampire Astrid. She soars through the sky as if she owns the night. The ants look up to behold this, momentarily.
Will she kill?
Everything around her says so. Evil penetrates her skin. Murder engulfs her mind.
Will she kill?
Maybe or maybe not. You’ll see.

Cocker Spaniel
by Charlotte Warington-Smyth
Running
Through
The
Fields
With
The
Sun
On his back.
Storming
Through
The
Bushes
With
Hair
Like a haystack.
Proudly he pounces on an unsuspecting pheasant
And with a stride in his step brings home the present
Foliage tangled within his hair
He makes his way over to the nicest armchair
Out of the cupboard I retrieve a brush
And try to calm him with a soft 'hush'
Piece by piece I take out the brambles
But soon he is scared and out he scrambles
Crawling into bed
He rests his tiny head
My little cocker spaniel.

Cola Wars
by Finlay
World War One, then World War Two
'Pepsi Cola', then 'Pepsi Blue'
'Coca Cola', then 'Coke New'
History comes back to you
Every year a common cold
New variant becomes the old
Pity for your failing health
History repeats itself

The World Without Her
by Raiya
I live in a world that’s different but the same – the same shops, the same sky, yet nothing feels the same without her.
Grief flooded me like a tsunami. I still here her laugh echo through rooms I’m in.
At school, I wear a mask and pretend, but in my head, I know she should be here.
Healing doesn’t mean forgetting. It means learning how to live with a hole in your heart. Because my love for her hasn’t faded – she still fills my world.
Even in this new one, she always will.

The Last Tick of War
by Syeda Marium Ahmed
Under a bruised, war-stained sky, Mara unearthed a clock buried in scorched earth, its hands trembling backward. Each defiant tick rewound the battlefield: smoke curling into clouds, bullets sliding back into guns, screams folding into silence. Time obeyed her trembling touch. The dead stirred, rising from crimson mud with glassy eyes, whispering her name. The village’s ruins stitched themselves whole, its streets breathing again. Yet with every reversal, Mara’s pulse weakened, her form dissolving into ash and memory.
When dawn broke, peace returned – but she was gone. The clock remained, half-buried, gleaming, waiting for another desperate soul.

Story 406
Blue is the Colour of Death
by Agnes Joanna
The sky is blue today, like the colour of my sister's eyes before she died, the colour of the ocean. The air crackles with a strange energy, sparks of unseen force dancing across my skin. I inhale, the sharp air biting my lungs.
The lake seems to call out to me, its dark surface beckoning me with a pull I can't ignore. Something is waiting beneath the water, whispering my name, urging me to dive in.
As soon as I step closer, I hear it. A voice, not my own, calling from the depths.

The Ninja Cats
by Daisy-Belle Phillips
Simba, Bella and Tabbs are no ordinary cats. In the morning, they are normal, but at night they’re the NINJA CATS. They fight crime and other bad cats. They’ve put nine cats in jail.
The leader of the bad cats, Minnie-Mick, is the baddest of them all. One night, the cats saw Minnie-Mick stealing from the bank – UH-OH!
Minnie-Mick spotted the NINJA CATS and ran. He hid, but the NINJA CATS caught him and put him in jail. They put the money back and everyone cheered.
The NINJA CATS disappeared into the moonlight. No one has heard or seen them since.

Shoulders of Giants
by Aditi Golyan
Isaac Newton proclaimed, "If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants." Every achievement stands on the shoulders of others, whether a child learning to speak, a chick flying under the guidance of a mother, or an organisation succeeding over an individual.
Building my businesses was only possible because of mentors' guidance, family words of encouragement, collective smartness, and the experiences of veteran brains. Even the most self-made appear to be motivated by others. Personal growth thrives on the support of groups – guidance, criticism, encouragement, and continuous motivation.
True achievement is not isolation; strength is gained through those who inspire, guide, and enable us.

Remember The ANZACs
by Charlotte
The shocks of the shells and bullets flying,
Hundreds and thousands of men were dying,
PTSD following them their whole life,
Seeing friends dying, the gruesome sight,
The ANZAC's just wished that they were back home,
Free of the enemies and weapons that roam,
Most were just buried with a small wooden cross,
While families suffered the grief and the loss,
We will forever remember them and say 'Lest We Forget',
To all those poor souls, we're forever in debt,
With a minute of silence, an ode and a special parade,
We will remember them all on ANZAC day...
