the big one - Connor

    
I almost fell, I saw the giants when they step, it felt like a earthquake. The big steel pole he holds sees me. I run but I got tired from the man running after me. Boom the net came down on me 'I am stuck' I try to bite the net is to hard. This is not good I wonder were I am going.

 

The nets

The nets

 

 

I heard a truck coming our way the truck stopped. I saw giant people come out with huge nets I kept my eye on one of them but then a net got me from behind. I squeaked  and scratched the air and all the man did was laugh.

 

I was trapped

The Rats At The Market!!

The Rats at the Market!!

I stared at the men, and they stared back. They charged at me like a bull. He started to get closer and closer as I started to get dizzy. I melted into a shadow so they ran straight pass me. Then I felt a swish of cold air sprint pass me and I realised I was surrounded in a bumpy net.

I open my eyes slowly, everything was blurry. I heard a deep low voice saying “We found some rats.” Then in an even deeper voice replied “So what.” As the voices started to get closer I scrambled in and hurried towards the net. Then I heard another voice that sounded like a girl saying “SEE” when the men went away, the girl said, “Hang in there” in a whisper “I’ll get you out"...

Friday 6^th of December                                                      

We are on our way to the market. I can’t wait to feast on the food. Then these random guys come around the corner and ruin it. They charge at us like a stampede of elephant’s. I yelled "Run!" and ran for my life. I heard a swoosh, a net came flying down. I leaped away from the net and zoomed off in to the shadows, but another net came down.
"Got you," said the man. I tried to nibble through the net but the material was stronger than metal. I’m watching the others get swiped into the nets.

I was terrified but when I figured out where we were going this was just the beginning.    

  

To be continued what will happen next.

Captured

‘Jenner’, ‘where are you?’ I see nets flying around and diving down like gannets. My first thought was to run, so I took off like a jet. Then suddenly a net came crashing down behind me, I escape by a matter of inches.

I scramble to cover. There’s nothing else to do but sit down and watch all my friends and family being captured. I can’t resist the urge to dive out into the open and try rescuing whoever I can.

Then suddenly a net smacked down over me, my legs tangled into the plastic like fabric. Captured.
