Story by Begüm Hatipoglu

The last thing I remembered was my face hitting the icy cold water as I descended into the dark and terrifying abyss that was the ocean. Minutes after I fell into the water, I could feel my lungs as if they were on fire, the temperature of the water was making me lose all feeling in my limbs. I knew I had to get to the surface, but I was already in too deep. As I helplessly tried to swim back up, my vision started to blur and darken, my lungs were burning and before I knew it I fell into an endless sleep never to wake up again. But that’s not quite where the story begins…
I was in Cairns on a dock, waiting for the arms dealer that I had arranged an appointment with. The deal was simple, I’d pay him the 400 grand and he’d give me the package.Naturally, I didn’t trust this guy, he was well-known on the black market for turning on his customers, so I had come prepared; the bullet proof vest did weigh me down and the gun was hard to hide from security, but it was better to be safe than sorry. Unfortunately, before I was even able to meet up with this guy, the entire South-Western side of the Australian continent was blown up and completely destroyed by aliens, the force of the explosion caused an earthquake on the North-Eastern coast, this was what had made me lose my balance, stumble and fall off the dock into the deep and unforgiving ocean. As I descended deeper into the water, the questions “Have I left the oven on ?” and “Has the earthquake destroyed the Great Barrier Reef ?” were all I could think about.

A Halloween story by Sara al Hineidi  5 A It was the night of Halloween. I went into my grandma's attic, where I saw a big chest. When I opened it, I felt something touch my shoulder. I screamed! I was scared. Suddenly, smoke appeared, it frightened me! I tried to leave quickly but the door was locked!  So I tried to calm down and five minutes later, I began to take a look at what was around me  in the attic. I saw a lot of things but the object that caught my attention was my grandmother’s bracelet...  When I touched it, the smoke progressively disappeared. And when I started to see better, I saw a spirit! It was my grandfather’s!  He said to me : "Don't panic, I won’t hurt you. I am just a ghost so I can't catch things. And now, don't tell anyone that you saw me, OK ? Good, now you can leave the attic. Goodbye." I said goodbye to my grandpa and I left the attic. It was incredible to know that he was still alive !

A scary story, by Ada C.

A Scary Story It was on a very cold friday night that this all happened. I went to the basement to take our costumes for the play we’ve been preparing for months.  It was in less than a week now! We were so hyped! I volunteered to stay after school by myself in order to finish our costumes and for that I had to go grab the old costumes to renovate them, from the basement. Since it was in winter the sun was setting early but it was still up when I went down there. There were two small windows that made me able to see what I was doing, I didn’t need artificial light. I looked around for awhile, took everything I Nneeded and went in the halway. I was listening to music on my phone and it was getting dark. At the moment I arrived in front of the door that leads to the staircase, I felt that something was off but I didn’t really think much about it at the moment. I tried opening the door but it wouldn’t open, I tried and tried again, I didn’t know what to do. Suddenly I remembered th
