  2. I was on my boat near the sea and then I saw a tower! It was thin and there was a ladder that went up! I decided I wanted to explore it so I did. It was outstanding! I was surprised that there were 6 rooms! I hadn't seen this before when I came here yesterday so it was mischievous that it just appeared out of nowhere! I went up top and looked from the windows. The windows weren't really big enough to see anything but It was still cool. I was prepared to go out but the door was jammed..

  3. My dad always said he would build me my very own tree house but it never happened. He never had the time or heart to do something nice for his daughter. Anyway, It all started when I was in my boat in the sea and then I bumped into something... It was a tree house! At first I wondered how did it end up in the water but I was too excited to worry about that. I went up the steel ladder and explored the place. The place was breath taking! I knew my childhood dream was finally coming true....

  4. I looked out the window to see a tiny piece of charred rock crumble from it's place in the stone wall, as usual the water trickled from the waterfall, But there was a boat, My prince! I rushed to my bedroom - scuffing my bare feet on the floor - I ripped open my wardrobe and yanked out my dress and whipped it on to my body and ran down the steps,I made it to halfway and would you believe it, my dress got caught on my feet and I tumbled down the rest of the stairs... How embarrassing

  5. There it is boys the house we are meant to destroy. Why does the boss want this place taken out, well he said the owner of this place owns a part of land that the boss wants, so he said we have to kill the owner. So why don't we just kill the owner, well he said make look like it was an accident. When we take out the bottom part of the house the police will think it was just poor structure. Oh know I get it are boss is smart that's why no one should mess with him.

  6. The ground rumbled viciously beneath me and the magnificent castle rocked and swayed ... EARTHQUAKE!!!!

    I practically chucked my head out of the window in the middle of the earthquake and the ground around us started to break up and drift away leaving a steep rocky cliff in all directions .. "WE'RE TRAPPED!" I screamed at the top of my lungs to my brother Nathaniel.

    BLACK!

    When I awoke half my body was at the mercy of the wind, dangling out of the towers window my cheeks were being slapped by the wind. The tower was still here and so was I!

  7. Hi Guys, my name is Blake and i'm the dwarf that lives in this castle. A dwarf in a castle? Yeah well short notice but oh well. The only thing that annoys me though, is that people keep looking through me windows. I'm mean it's only a floating house. Get over it! Just an ordinary floating house. That's the only real annoyance I have with this place other than it's big. I like it but i'm thinking of moving, what do you think? I don't know I haven't even lived here long. What a conundrum. anyway have to go.

    See ya!
    -Blake

    1. Thanks Blake, I never thought about it like that but you are right it would be annoying to constantly have people staring at your house and taking photos constantly. Maybe you should charge them, could be a good wee earner. "Short notice" was that a intentional pun, with him being a Dwarf? I like it, very clever!

  8. “No! My toy’s broken! The cliff edges have fallen off and the castle is unstable!”.
    This toy is unique. It’s different from the other toys, which have a castle, a princess and a knight.
    But my one has a little boat, a beach, a cliff and a tower. But the best part is that it has a teacher imprisoned in it! I use him to answer my homework questions in return for not eating him.
    But now its broken and the teacher has fled. So much for keeping him alive.
    I can’t even chase him. I hate being a giant.

  9. Haha what a creative way to use this picture prompt Apoorva. Not sure about the locking up of teachers but I could think of a lot worse places to be locked up.

    1. Yes, but you wouldn't be worrying about getting eaten in the other places. =)

  10. Goblin House!
    My family and I went for a drive along the country side, we stopped at a beach and we parked by a house. Well it looked like a house on a rock! I found it very fascinating so I went and had a look. Inside was two bedrooms and someone sleeping one! The house looked abandoned and a cool place to hang out but I found a goblin sleeping and got scared, I ran back in the car and we zoomed off! Once we got home, A couple of my mates came with me again to the house!

  11. Once upon a time in a magical land there was a king that ruled half of the earth. He was strong and bold. He lived and the strangest castle which stood in the middle of a rock. The king named it the magical place where everything happens. It had a magical stairway that had a lot of ancient drawings that his mother and his father told stories about. The castle was built by his ancestors who made it out of stone and sand. It was made 1000 years ago. The king was only twelve When he was crowned the king.

  12. The Dwarf, Princess and Me!

    I paddled towards the castle when I saw a note.
    It read: ‘I know my castle’s amazing, but can’t you leave a poor old dwarf alone? If you enter, I will take you as a prisoner!’ A dwarf, in a castle? I hesitated, but then entered
    and saw the dwarf snoring. I stared, astounded, when a princess tumbled down.
    She said: “Oh, my prince,you’ve come to save us!”. I was appalled.
    “Me, a prince? Goodness me. I’m a girl with very short hair” The princesses turned crimson, when the dwarf awoke. I should never have entered this castle...

    By the way, the title doesn't count as part of the hundred word story.
    Also, I only did this for fun, so sorry for kind of stealing your stories, Olivia and Maddi.

  13. "And then he came to the door". I looked up and my eyes met a man with a horrific scar down one side of his face "What do you want, get out of here" he boomed in a deep voice that sounded like thunder. My heart was beating as fast as a cheetah runs, I was freaked. "Would you like to buy a raffle ticket?" I said in a mousey voice scared he was going hurl me off his doorstep. That is the last thing I remembered, the next thing I knew I woke up on a boat in a smelly cabin. To be continued.....
