A walk through the Woods (Writing Sample)

Years ago there had been said that a few troublemakers went on a bush walk in the Redwoods forest, what they did was mess up the track. But not in the way you may think. These few troublemakers added extra tracks and changed which direction the signs would go in. So when people would go on bush walks in the Redwoods, they’d normally end up lost and then fell into the hands of the troublemakers, who before they got the troublemaker name were Hank, John and Spike. But, as they got older they needed something to keep them alive. So they made a potion full of weird things like spider venom, dew from a ginko leaf and many more things. Now those once strapping young lads were turned into something else to horrible to imagine!

But for the likes of Mr & Mrs smith they loved the idea of it. They always wanted to go and find this creature. So they packed their bags and head off with their car to redwood forest to seek out this dark creature, put all the signs back in its rightful place and set the tracks straight. But what Mr Smith didn’t tell Mrs Smith was that he had a massive block of dark chocolate that he was going to eat secretly away deep in the forest. He’d been saving it for almost a month now and he thought it was time to finally taste the sweet dark chocolate and have it all to himself.So when the couple got to Redwood forest they quickly got ready their gear and set sail for adventure.

“Clump, clump, clump”, went Mr Smith's boots. They’d been walking for over 4 hours and the sun was going down, Mr Smith knew that if they didn’t hurry they’d have to stay the night in the forest. Mr Smith was getting tired and hungry, he kept on thinking about that chocolate of his and was wondering when he should eat it. Then he saw it, the one chance to get away and eat his precious chocolate. Mr Smith’s wife sat down on the side of the footpath, while Mr smith walked into the deep dark part of the forest. His excuse was, “I’m just going to the toilet”. But we both know what he was going to do. Eat chocolate and have a nice time alone for a while.

But just as he was unwrapping his precious chocolate he heard a distant yelp for help. It sounded like… his wife! He rushed to his feet and started sprinting towards the sound. As he started getting closer and closer he started hearing more voices. There was at least 100 people. When the bush finally opened up to a clearing Mr Smith saw his wife and other humans in what looked like a spider web. Then suddenly out of the deep dark forest came a spider with more humans, then another and another. Three spiders were now crowded around the web, each mumbling about which one they should eat. Then, the biggest spider of them all spotted the young man with his tramping pack and dark chocolate in his hand.

As the three spiders edged closer, Mr Smith got more scared. Mr Smith quickly held out his chocolate as a shield then one of the spiders took a bite of the chocolate and started to shrink, then in front of Mr Smith’s eyes formed a human. Mr Smith looked carefully at him. It was Spike, one of the troublemakers. Then the second took a bite and started shrinking the same way the first spider did. As the figure got smaller Mr Smith pieced out who he was. It was the second troublemaker, John. Now there was one more spider, he first looked at the chocolate studying its every feature then snatched it off the poor man and ate the rest of the chocolate. Then when he shrank, it was him. Hank. After this the four men took down all of the webs and freed every last soul. Then Mr and Mrs smith went home and decided to have a little sleep, because after all of that hard work they were tired. So everyone went home free from spider webs and all of the remembered Mr & Mrs smith for there braveness. The end
