THE END!

 

I know that's not a way to begin but for this story, it is.

 

In my experience stories start with, ‘Once upon a time’ (traditional type), or, ‘And then It sucked out my eyes’, (other type), but this is neither. This one’s mine and it begins with an ending.

    In the big city, where everything is the opposite, there was a little girl named Jesus. She was very famous because everywhere she went in that city, everybody wanted to be her friend because they wanted to be famous like her. One day, she decided to run in a competition, where people voted, for a person to be a king. Then everyone voted for her to be a king. Her brother, Annie, was so angry because she won. Annie also wanted to be the king of the city. Then he plotted to steal her first born.
    After a few years, her husband, Sarah, gave birth to an old man named Jasmine. Annie kidnapped the man and he said "if you want your old man back, you must make me king". Poor Jesus and Sarah didn't know what to do. Then, they called all of the people in their house to ask for help.
    One of them said, "Just say that you will give him the crown to get your old man back, then I will take all of the soliders to go and kill him". Jesus agreed to this idea and prepared to meet her brother. The next day, Jesus and Sarah went and pretended to give him the crown, but there was a problem. Annie didn't come because she knew it was a trap. Sarah was clumsy so he told all the things to that woman he met in the park yesterday.  Jesus was so mad at him that she...

… Went to the park and a woman appeared from the fog

‘’ Hello, do you want anything?’’ The woman said nothing she just stared with her grey, snake – like eyes. Jesus went back home, had a cup of lemonade-tea with two sugars, stood up and lent against the dirty side of her sparkly kitchen. Jesus looked out of the window; outside in the sunshine it was still foggy. All she saw was two grey, snake-like eyes, at that very moment Justin Bieber came on the radio then she pulled out a gun, shot the radio, cackled (ha ha), turned back to the window, the eyes were gone. Jesus turned around and the woman from the park appeared from nowhere. She dropped her lemonade-tea (with two sugars) and walked as slow as she could walk, the woman appeared in front of her,

‘’Please be alarmed’’ she said trying to comfort Jesus, ‘’ I have information about your old man and your brother, Annie.’’

‘’Who are you?’’ Jesus said almost crying.

‘’I am the most important person you will ever meet…’’

There was a crack. The window shattered, and there was blood. Everywhere. The woman collapsed in a heap, and there was another crack. Jesus dived for cover. Someone was trying to kill her! One more crack, and the mirror was smashed. Jesus crawled towards the door, levered it open, and dived into the corridor. She ran. She didn’t think about anything except that she had to get away and find out what happened to the woman, and how she could now find out about her old man and brother...

Jesus was running as fast as she could, looking for the old woman. She looked left and right searching for those eyes, Those grey snake-like eyes...

She had come to the end of the corridor and hurtled out the door into the outside.

She ran out into the street, she dodged round a bush and ran into a filthy dark alleyway. She leant on to the wall and realised that further down the alley way wa clean and sparkling, the wall was shiney and polished and she could see her reflection, and another reflection. Further down the alley was a pile of clothes just dropped on the pristine floor. She crept up to look closer and saw that it was the old woman, just lying there...

...in the big city where everything was opposite.  This enigma was puzzling to everyone.  It all started on a normal balmy day.  All of a sudden, a dark shadow overcast the land.  The shadow that was over cast soon became an asteriod.  The asteriod knocked the world so backwards, that the land became the land of opposite.

     When the asteriod hit, everyone fell unconscious.  When they woke up, they were oblivious to the change.  Boys names became girls names and vice versa.  This was all a mental distortion...

     The Beginning

 

     I know that this is not the way to end, but for this story, it is.  In my experience, stories end with 'happily ever after' or 'the end,' but this is neither.  This one's ours, and ends with a beginning.
