Charlotte Chapel
Charlotte was standing in a dark creepy wood in the middle of the night . The wood was very muddy and the were lots and lots of bogs. The year was 1968, it was 8 o`clock at night. The trees were blowing like mad and the rain was very heavy. Charlotte was screaming for help but no one could hear her!!!

Charlotte stood in a wood, the wood was in a village called Muckhart. The year was 2005 .The trees were varied of willows, sycamores, oaks, chestnuts ,beaches, ashes, all sorts but mostly willow . The willow’s branches were fine looking and they were green like limes. On the ground there were leaves and stones and mud , the whole thing was like pigsty .In some places the branches were wound in shapes that made hidyholes for all the little kids to play in.

It was a sunny afternoon in Nottingham. The date is 18th March 500AD. It was very grassy and lots of flowers had bloomed. Daisies, Roses etc. There were also few trees. A big castle was in the distance. it was big and bold and very scary when it was in the dark.

Muckhart Opera House is set in the beautiful countryside of Clackmannanshire, in Scotland. It is a huge building at least a hundred feet high. It has thousands of tiny domes that amplify the bellowing singing coming from inside.
Inside the Opera House there are massive beams that hold up the Opera House’s vast roof. There are thousands of seats, and waiters that will come to the seat of any hungry Opera enthusiast, and that is Muckhart Opera House.

Dragoon Opera House was a silhouetted, red-bricked building from which no sound ever came. The grubby spiderwebs that drooped from certain corners dissatissfied the performers so they didn’t perform their act. The inside was not much different. The reception was a small room which reeked of an out-of-date chicken. There was nothing else apart from a rotting table with a wet booklet on it. The lousy receptionist behind it had doozed off ages ago and was now in a deep sleep. Having seen the reception, Ashley walked acroos the patterned carpet to double doors. Both doors were loose on their hinges and didn’t open or close properly. After going through the squeeky mass of rusty metal, Ashley entered the the main hall. A grand stage covered the front with another layer of dust and junk on top. The noise of creepy crawlies scuttling across the wooden floor was irratating Ashley as it echoed around the huge hall. A show of ruined, tattered chairs flooded the area below the stage and went on until it stopped by a glass cabinet at the very back. One of the doors had fallen off long ago and Ashley was able to stick his hand inside. He could see a silver plate covered in dirt. With his remaining courage, Ashley used his sleeve to wipe a clear area. To his luck, he had wiped an area with writing on it. ” 1927 – Dragoon Opera House ” was all Ashley could make out. Wiping some more dirt off, Ashley read the heading ” Best Opera House of the Year “. It was hard to believe that the statement was true from what Ashley had just seen. Looking up, Ashley could make out twenty to thirty rafters behind a great shadow of the upper floor which looked like it would fall down any minute now. The rafters were isolate and hidden in the lurking shadows of the roof. Back to the stage, the props and lighting were set balancing against the ladder which ran up the red curtain to the rafters. The blood red colour from the curtains brightened the cluttered Opera house, making it look more attractive yet not perfect. The black and white picture had been ruined by the curtains and in that sense, the curtains had destroyed the Opera. Ashley just stood and stared at the Opera, trying to make out what it would’ve been like 83 years ago when Dragoon got first prize in the competition, trying to work out if the owners of the plate were wondering where it was now. It was the power of time that had caused this situation and only time could re-fix it.

One day Jimmy went to the beach, the sun was blazing like an orange on fire. The sand was a golden copper brown with the odd pebble here and there. The tide was in but there was still enough sand to build some sandcastles. The waves were gentle but out at sea they were bouncing against all the ships.

Queensferry RD was very dirty in 3861. It was full of children hungry and dying. There were stones sticking out of the walls at odd angles, making it uncomfortable for all the children who were resting their heads on them. The ancient grey walls light up every time a flashy flying car zooms past. Every child tried to find shelter or sleep in a dustbin. Times were cruel then.

Super Bob
Super Bob went to town and it was packed with sky scrapers. There were little brown houses that were tucked in gaps and corners. There were big white sheep in the sky. The blue sky was like the choppy sea. There was a cold breeze that felt like someone was blowing lightly in your face. The ground was soft and dark coloured and there were rocks splatted around. It was very busy and there were lots of different coloured cars and horns going beep beep. Super Bob loves his day in town.

The year was 1900 and there was an old man called Tim who lived on a farm called Marydail farm .
On the farm there were chickens, a huge barn up the back it looked like a mansion but with no rooms in it. He had some sheep in the front field but the field looked like a children’s pen.
There was a lot of trees around the whole farm so it was hidden from everyone.

It was dark, gloomy and very misty. It was only sunset but in the forest it seemed like mid night with the trees draping over it. The trees were all wet and the water dripped down to the ground. The floor was damp from the leaves that had fallen,strange noises lurked in the bushes and burrows. If you walked through its deadly surroundings you would think you were mad. Some people say Ghosts lurk around walking along the never ending path.
