This week I want you to write about the weird kid at school…

Oh, Sacha…I have so many weird kids I encounter at school, what a catalogue of memories I have to look back upon!

Here’s one celebrating weirdness, and showing not all weird kids are necessarily unable to accomplish goals in life.

The arena exploded into rapturous applause.
A huge audience chanted his name “Will! Will!”
This latest tour celebrated his fourth platinum selling album.
Inside his smile was brighter than the one he portrayed on the outside.
So much for being the weird kid at school.
Finally he’d shown them – Wilfred wasn’t weird!

This week your challenge is to write about the Pyramid.

Here goes!

They were convinced I wouldn’t get planning permission.
But I persevered.
And now, there it is, at the end of my garden.
Not vast, like my last, but big enough to reminisce.
Well, if I’m to live again in a peasants body, I should be able to remember my past, Cleo thought.

Here goes!

A knock on the door.
Ernest peeked gingerly out of the window.
Oh, great!
Another mob had come to badger him, wanting his help. That was the third this week.
How long could he hide for?
He cursed himself for losing his precious amulet.
Without it, he was nothing but a coward.

The persistent dog

Now it was so tempting to write something about a cute furry animal, barking and barking to get attention… but I wasn’t going the easy route!

“C.mon baby, you wanna drink?”
Turning away from the alcohol fumes, wafting their way over the bar, Tina went to serve the next customer.
Jim asked again, grabbing her hand this time.
She leered at her cheating ex, who thought a quick drink would fix everything.
The persistent dog never gave up.
