Here are two winning stroies from
the Brentford
Big Read 2006. Back
to Brentford's main page.
The guard ran from his pursuer
who had the cheque for $500,000. He then fell
to the ground in front of Picasso's 'Jeune Fille
Assise', tugged the picture to the ground as the
pursuer spoke, "Why run in a place as big as this?"
The guard scrambled for his gun. As he looked
up he caught a glimpse of the hood, which concealed
the pursuer's face. "What do you want from me?"
he asked.
The pursuer answered, "It is not
from you I want something but someone else in
this hotel." He clicked his weapon. "Do not worry
this gun has no bullets just some sedative to
help you catch some sleep," said the pursuer and
the last thing the guard heard was the sound of
a gun shot and a scream. And when he awoke the
painting, cheque and the professor were gone.
Drake's phone began
to ring; it sounded unfamiliar until he realised
his whereabouts. He was in his house in America
in his own bed. Drake realised that he was late
for school by five minutes. He then heard his
mother call for him: " Drake, get your sorry arse
up from your pig sty of a bedroom, you'll be late
for school".
"Yeah! Mum I'm coming, just wait
a second" Drake yelled. Let me find my shoes and
I'll be off!" Drake managed to drag himself from
his bed." Whoa! That was some dream" He ran out
of the door passing the hotel from his dream.
He went in to have a glimpse of the place, just
to make sure, he thought. As he approached he
saw a suitcase hanging from the top floor window.
He thought he should tell the police, but would
they accuse him?
He ran out and instead of going
to school he went home and told his mum. She said:
"Why are you here? Come along now school is not
that bad!" Mum, I had a dream of a robbery around
the corner and that I'd done it. Do I sleep walk?!
I didn't want to tell you but I think I did it"
" What's going on darling!" said Drake's mum.
To be continued.

On one Christmas winter day everyone
was opening presents and having nice Christmas
food, except one boy called Tony. He was a tall
15 year old young man, who was miserable because
he overheard his mother and father's row. Eventually
the row ended with Tony's mother Barbara wanting
a divorce. Tony couldn't take it anymore and packed
his bags and went to his local orphanage and slept
there!
He woke the next morning and found
a fur bag next to him. He was going to throw it
out of the window when he saw a glow inside it.
He found a small red box glowing inside the bag.
Tony opened the box and found a ring with a tiny
watch with time all over the world. Tony was astonished
by the anonymous present. He put the ring on his
middle finger. Then wished he was at his nana's
house just in time to have scones and watch Countdown.
The ring glowed and Tony's eyes glowed white like
storm on X men.
Suddenly Tony's eyes stopped glowing
and went back to green, He looked around and was
astonished to see he was in his grandma's bedroom.
He had some big ideas for this ring. He looked
down at the ring and thought of his parents' row!!!
The ring brought him back to his house and he
saw his parents saying sorry to each other and
kissing!!!
Next, he decided to go back to the
Time of the Dinosaurs.
He thought that he could go back
to the Cretaceous Period, the time when dinosaurs
were about to become extinct! He thought carefully
and found that he was in a vast forest. He walked
forwards and suddenly heard a roar! He looked
around and saw a giant black Tyrannosaurus running
after him! He ran as fast as he could towards
a big mound of dirt. He saw big white lumps protruding
from the mound; they were eggs! He stopped and
saw his mother coming closer to him. She started
shaking him and then he realised that it was a
dream.
After his mum left the room, he
laughed at what he had seen in his dream. Suddenly,
his trouser pocket started vibrating. Then he
looked in it and saw the ring. Blood came from
his hand, he thought it was his ring so he dropped
it, but his hand was still bleeding. His hand
dropped off, a bone came out of his wrist. Then
a white light came out of his body and he dropped
to the ground as both his legs fell off. The ring
went back into the box and then it disappeared.
