SHORT STORY
COMPETITION 2008/9

CONGRATULATIONS TO PUPILS FOR THEIR SUCCESS IN OUR ANNUAL SHORT STORY COMPETITION.

The competition was judged by Sally Matthews - Tenbury Town Librarian and her reading group. The pupils had to write a short story of no more than 50 words (including the title) on the theme of "Ghosts". They commented that the standard was very high and they had spent an enjoyable evening reading all the entries.

The pupils were presented with their prizes at the Awards Assembly before Christmas and then they
recently attended the Town Library where they were presented with prizes by the Manager of the Schools Library Service - Dawn Woods, who came to the Library especially to meet them.

1st Prize

"THE HAND"

She gasps for breath.
The rucksack digs in.
The cold and the fog fight the racing sky.
Tears pour down her face.
She remembers the ones she loves,
And her heart misses a beat.
She slumps to the floor.
And a hand finds hers, and holds it......

Highly Commended

"DISTURBED SLEEP"

The phone rang, I woke.
Outside was thundering, raining
And pitch black. The caller was an
Unidentified number, I answered it.
"Help Me" an empty voice
echoed.
Thunder crashed and lightening lit
up the sky.
"Please help me" The voice said
again.
Earth shattering thunder crashed
"Please he.........."

2nd Prize

"GHOST"

Walking home one dark moonless night I glimpsed a large white shape pass slowly over my head and felt the air shiver. It turned menacingly towards me. Petrified I sprinted home.

It was already there on my gate staring at me with sparkling silver eyes.

It said "Twit twoo"!
