What would happen if a painting came to life? - Narrative writing

 What would happen if a painting came to life?... :

The smell of pollen filled the air. Bugs of all sorts flew throughout the room, spreading their wings wide apart. Chatter rose in the distance. People gossiping, laughing, chanting, and shouting. Flowers and greenery started tumbling out onto the cold wooden floor. My room was slowly turning into a flower exhibition. My legs tumbled back to the wall, as bricks crashed out and onto the flowers. More flowers fell, this time in bulk. Pointy bushes flopped and slid between the bricks. As my room filled with the outside scenery I couldn’t help, but stare. Into the depths of the painting. Where I could see tall houses with bright red roofs. It almost looked like a… Fantasy land. Where nothing could go wrong, and all my worries would be set aside. My feet dragged across the loose petals, across the gritty bricks, across the wooden floor, across, into the painting.

Image Writing - 100 word paragraph

Arms and legs started bending out of the photo frame. Splotches of what looked like paint were scattered through each individual's bodys. 4 faces poked out only leaving the background in the photo frame. They seemed oldschool. Really proper. “Excuse me fellow stranger, would you know where we are?” One of the colourful characters said. “Your… Alive?” I was out of breath. Who was standing in front of me?! What was standing in front of me?! They stood there, staring at me with their bold eyes. Holding things that almost looked like instruments. They were mostly covered in cool tones, but the colours looked outstanding…

 May Jones - “I think I love you…”/The Back Story #4

“I guess we’ll have to do this the old fashioned way…” May didn’t want to shoot Hector, she didn’t even want to fight him. She didn’t know what was wrong with her.May thought that maybe ruining his face would take her mind off things.

May kicked the gun out of Hector's hand, “Oh come on you can do better than that!” Hector was right, she could do better than that. “OWW!” May punched Hector right in the nose with her palm, then proceeded to grab his arm and twist it. Finishing with a sweep of her foot, making him fall to the ground. “Is that good enough for you?”

May’s wound on her face was stitched up. Somehow it started bleeding again, it oozed down like a chocolate pudding. Thick and gooey. May needed to get to a hospital, but she wanted to finish Hector off. “Just go!” Hector was in pain, he knew that May wasn’t finished. So he wanted her to go. “Don’t ever come near me again. If you do, I'll put a bounty on your back.” May ran out the door hearing Hector groan in pain. I need to help him. She was confused.May had never wanted to help anyone unless she loved them. No I can’t love him, but I do. He’s handsome, hunky, smart, I could go on and on. May was terrified of what her feelings could do to her, but she loved him…

Hector got up and called for back-up. “I need back-up now! 42 Bird Street.” May turned around staring at Hector. “What are you staring at?!” Hector was in pain and May didn’t want to leave him like this. She walked back into the house, “My names May, May Jones. Can I touch you? I want to help.” May was right he needed help. Right Away. “I don’t want your help.” May proceeded to help, it looked like Hector started to open up to the idea. “Do you have a wife,husband, significant other or children?” 

“No I don’t.” Hector opened up, but he was still defensive. “How long have you been working for the FBI?” May was talking to him, while also grabbing the first aid and treating his wounds. “5 years.Why are you asking me all these questions?” May questioned herself, Why was I asking him these questions? “I want to know more about you.” Hector looked confused. “Why, why do you even care about me. I work with the FBI. You're a criminal.” May didn’t want to tell him the real answer. “You wouldn’t care.” Hector wasn’t convinced. “Tell me.” Should I tell him?What's the worst that will happen? “I think,” May was hesitant. “You think what!?” May was ready. She blurted it out. “I think I love you!”...

May Jones - The Kitchen Shenanigans /The Back Story #3

May walked to her safe house in NYC time square. She lived in an old beat up apartment, with a bodyguard always outside. Cops are so stupid May thought. She knew she was wrong, because a mole had been in her team for a couple of months without her knowing. May never trusted anyone or thought about anyone, either than herself. Although this was true, she couldn’t stop thinking about Hector. May had a lot of thoughts twisting and turning in her head. The main one she had was: Love at first sight isn’t true. Right?... 

May woke up to the sound of car horns and chatter outside her apartment. She still had the picture of Hector in her head, Why do I keep thinking about him?! May wasn’t very happy about what was in her head, but when she turned on the TV she was shocked at the sight of her own face!

“Why is your face on the news!?” This was her boss speaking. “I don’t know, it's not like any of them saw me! At Least it’s only a drawing, they got my nose wrong. Wait, hold on.” May was trying to think of how or who saw her face. “It doesn’t matter if they got your nose wrong!You kept your mask on the whole time right?” Her boss, also known as Malaika Miller, made sure that all of her workers always covered their faces. “Yes, I mean… I took it off in the abandoned warehouse. There was only one person alive.” May knew who it was, but she also knew her boss would freak out. “Who was it?!” Should I say it, May thought. “It was our target! Hector Noris!” There was a moment of silence. “ARE YOU SERI-” May hung up the phone, she couldn’t deal with this right now. She needed to find a disguise, and find it now.

May put on a hat, some baggy clothes and tucked in her hair. She was off to go get a new identity, at least for now. May took a bus to her local mini mall. She had long hair up to her mid back. May wanted to cut it and dye it. She dyed it black and cut it to just below her shoulders with layers.

May was ruthless. In order for her not to get caught, she decided to give herself a scar. May picked up a razor blade and swept it under her eye. Blood poured out oozing into the corners of her lips. Was this enough for her to keep living the life she lived, or was she going to be sent to prison?

Some time had passed and May started to think about agent Noris again. Why was she thinking about Hector so much. She hated him. Just like he hated her. For the night she tossed and turned, leaving her hair a mess. May woke up to a racket in her kitchen. She put a hand on the gun and picked it up. She thought to herself: Who the hell is in my kitchen?..Walking into the kitchen May felt a sense of thrill and adrenaline pumping through her body. She turned a corner and… “Agent Noris?!” 

“FBI freeze!” What is he doing in my kitchen? May thought. “How did you find me?” May was actually impressed that Hector found her. What am I thinking?! May was concerned that she was thinking like this. “Put down the weapon, get on the ground and put your hands where I can see them!” Agent Noris did not want to tell May the details of why he was in her kitchen. “You placed a tracker in my jacket, didn’t you?” Hector seemed to get very defensive. “I placed my ear com in your jacket, always have trackers on them, in case of an emergency.” He’s kind of handsome.No stop! May was very concerned about her thoughts, what was happening to her?

 

 

Diary Post - What happened in the Term 3 Holidays of 2021?

 Diary Post - What happened in the Term 3 Holidays of 2021?

What has happened in the Term 3 holidays 2021? I have had an interesting experience. We've had holidays in lock-down, but we have been in lock-down for so long, it just feels like another day. I get up, get ready for the day, clean up, go on my chrome-book, go outside, read a book, play with my brother, eat, watch a movie and go to sleep. Every now and then we change the day up, but it's turned into a routine by now. It's not that interesting, but we did do a few things that spiced our holidays up a bit.

We are in the season of spring, and it's cold some days, rainy others, but it's mostly very hot. Since we can't go to the pools and at the beach we have to social distance, we play with our water guns. Filling up a bucket of water and having a water gun fight, is entertaining for a good amount of time. Sometimes we even have fun with bubbles and have a "bubble fight".

Even thought we have to social distance at the beach, we have still had a few visits. Going to the beach is a fun and refreshing experience. We went in the last week of holidays on a Saturday. At the beach we built sandcastles, played in the water, looked for shells and looked for crabs when it was low tide. It was lot's of fun and we even went for a few walks/bike rides to and from the beach.

I have been blogging in the holidays. From the 1st to the 9th I did a flower summary every day. Talking about the meaning of the flower and a fact about the flower. I have also started a small series about May Jones.

Apart from that there has been nothing else that I have done. Having Holidays in lock-down is very stressful, but it's great just staying home all day.

 May Jones - Everyone except the target/The Back Story #2

May was driving down the highway full speed. FBI agent Hector and his team right behind her. How could I be so stupid?! - She thought to herself - How did I not find this out sooner?! Red and Blue lights flickered off of her car's mirrors. A black SUV with big tires and bulletproof windows. While her car was a beat up ford with 2 broken windows. How can I turn this into a job gone right? May thought. 

The chase had been on for more than 10 minutes now and 2 more SUV’s had shown up. May knew it was time to take action. She pulled out a gun and shot the tires of the SUV’s that had just shown up. May left Hector's SUV, because she knew she needed to eliminate Hector. 

The chase ended at a dodgy abandoned warehouse. May ran inside making sure to have as much ammo as she could carry. There were 5 agents - including Hector -  on Hector’s team. FBI! Come out now, and no one will get hurt! A classic cheesy movie line, May thought. She was hiding behind two big crates filled with fruits and veggies. She needed to act and she needed to act now. 

May stood up and shot 2 of Hector’s team mates. They were dead. Then she shot one of the crates, and made it tumble down on the rest of them. She shot the other two to save Hector for last. They both collapsed to the ground. May pulled the trigger, but she had no more bullets left. 

“You're done, now tell me. Why did you try to shoot up the FBI?!” Hector did not sound very happy. “I mean you're close, but I wasn’t trying to shoot up the FBI.” May was very calm. “What do you mean? You had guns!” Hector sounded very confused. “I had one gun, with lots of ammo.” She stands still, staring into Hector’s eye’s. “I had a target, but your FBI agency put a mole in my team. So the target got away.” May was still very calm, which made Hector very intimidated. “Well, now you can’t get them. You're under arrest!” May let out a little chuckle. “Who said the target got away? He’s standing right infront of me…”

Hector took a shot, but May was too quick. She grabbed the gun and took all of it’s amo out. May threw the gun to the floor where Hector couldn’t reach it. “Why didn’t you just shoot me?! You could have taken your target out.” Hector sounded scared. “I wanted a fair fight, and to ruin your pretty little face.”

 May was trying to get inside Hector's head and it worked. He was so flustered he lowered his fists. So May took a punch and landed it right on Hector’s nose. It started bleeding, then Hector was losing his balance so May swept him off his feet. He fell with a thud to the ground.

 “I just realised, you killed my entire team!” Hector was now even more angry. “Are you angry at the fact that your team’s dead or you just lost to a girl.” May responded in a sassy way. “You're not gonna get away with this!” Hector sounded more sad than angry now. May knew she had gotten into his head. “I just did. Now get over yourself and call for backup. You need it.”
