The flowers gave him hope.
Sitting there in the frost-covered park, with snowflakes gently falling from the cold, October sky, he reflected upon the events of the past few days. Despite everything, he still had hope for the future.

One second you saw it, the next you didn’t. She wanted to turn around and leave this strange place, but curiosity got the better of her.
The fog seemed to be alive. It danced amongst the trees: smothered, slithered, sneaked, in and out of the branches. The trees lining the road, sentinels of the night, seemed to sway in the breeze, their branches reaching up like tentacles clawing for the sky, yearning to escape the cloying fog.
One second you saw it, the next you didn’t. The ghostly shadow vanished once again into the mist.
She had come too far to turn back now. Goosebumps prickled on her cold, clammy skin, and she was sure she could hear her heart thumping inside her chest like a fluttering bird begging to be let out of its cage. Pulling her scarf tightly around herself, she stepped forward into the woods, towards the place where the shadow had been…(take the story on....)

Story starter
The trees, which stretched up far from the sandy shoreline, covered almost all of the small island. We sat there quietly, taking in the natural beauty that surrounded us. Finally, we had made it to paradise, our home for the next two months. At that moment, as a faint rainbow painted the sky with colour, I felt a sense of anticipation about our time on the island. ‘How will you cope without your phone?’, ‘What will you do for food?’, ‘Won’t you be scared?’ my family had asked. I didn’t have answers to their questions but as the sun began to break through the clouds, I knew that the months ahead would be full of challenges and excitement…(take the story on...)
Sick sentences!
These sentences are sick and need your help to get better.

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.

Sick Sentences!
Improving a sentence.
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.
