Thump! He slammed his enormous, grass-covered foot into the middle of the road, sending shockwaves of dust and debris in all directions.
With a loud grunt, the troll wrenched the entire fully tiled roof off a nearby holiday home, with the owners peering helplessly on out of the downstairs windows. He didn’t mean any harm, but he just couldn’t help himself…......(take the story on....)

Sick Sentence -
How we improved the below sentence this morning.
From: The troll put his hand on the house. He had a big nose and yellow teeth. He was covered in grass.
To:
Like a prowling predator, the ugly, outraged troll put his mammoth, muddy hand on the frightened little house. He had an immense, weather-beaten nose and grotesquely yellow teeth. Although he was covered from head to toe in wet, itchy grass, he still continued with his rampage through the tiny terrified town.
