rats ~ Jacob

     We are writing the scene talked about in our class book. The rats tell about when they were living in a village and went to the Sunday market to eat the leftovers. The men from the laboratory come and capture some. This is that part written. Can you build up pictures in your head from our writing. can you imagine the scene?   


  The trick

My feet started to take me away. All I could hear was frantic screaming and shouting from other rats. Big giants got most of them stuck in unchewable rope. Lots of the rats were stuck but I was yet to be captured. I felt shaky and gripped with fear. I could not see any other rats around me so that means I am next.

        

Then I saw something falling. To my horror I realised what it was. A giant hand that was about to grab me but I rampaged away. I found a way out and sprinted to my escape I ran like a rocketing race car.

“Don’t let him escape!” screamed a voice. It felt like I was getting chased by a mob of rampaging elephants. His hand right behind me about to close in. 

“Snap!” His hand closed at just the wrong time. The lady gripped me weakly but I quickly slid out like an oily fish.I was so close I was sure I could escape. 

“Bang!” My head hit into an invisible wall as If I was hit with a hammer. Everything started fading and all I saw was blackness. So close yet so far away.

     

 Everything came into vision again. I found myself in a small room.

“Look the injection worked!”  

“Yes!, the resurrection worked! I thought he was long gone when he hit the window ” I heard a lady say.

“Great we can test him with our new DNA” said the leader.

“Injection time,” said a man holding a pointy pin and a needle In his hand.
