Story, age 9
Posted: Sun May 15, 2016 11:02 pm
Here's a story I found in one of my school books. I wrote it at age 9 (a lot of inspiration in here from the original Age of Empires game I was obsessed with at the time). I've "transcribed" it all exactly as it was written... hope someone gets a laugh out of this.
---------------------------------------------------------------
I Am A Greek leigion on a black and white horse I comand an army Of over 200 broad sordsmen we are trying to Defeat the Shang empire half there army are skilled archers. with fire arrows.
I Onley have 50 archers and 150 broad sords men. Its 10o'clock at night my men are preparing for the fight tomorrow.
zoom!! an arrow. Just went Past my helmet "Attack!" we heard from the hills. And from the trees came at least 20 or 30 catapolts "Attack" I replied. my Broad sordsmen were no match for there archers a catapolts "retreat" I yelled to my remaining soliders. I Jumped on my horse and ran to the brush i looked back but onely saw the remains of my burnt Down camp and the slowest of my men been hacked to Death by there savage axemen
the next few Days me my archer and my 3 broad sordsmen were trying to Get back to the barracks to get some more soldiers but were tired and need to rest. its morning and time to set of.
Whoooo thud!! one of my broad swords men Just fell down a trap. voom, voom, voom, "Argghh", were been attacked by archers voom! "argh!!" my archer Just Got Killed "PUll back" I said but it was to late my last soilder died "Somebody is fireing arrows at the enemy" "Its my allies theve come to save me" "follow us" they said
We just arrived at the baracks I stocked up on fire archers and long swordsmen, this time. because there stronger then broad swords men.
then from behind a club stuck me in the head my helmet blocked half the pain but I am now unable to tAke my helmet of I turned to face they attacker but Just got struck again it was One of my fellow club men! then he struck me again and again and again...then every thing went black
I woke up and every thing was on fire then from the flames came the same clubman exsept he was not wering blue uniform he was wareing red he had been a spy all the time! I tryed to draw out my sword but found my arm was not atatched to my body eny more. I thought he would kill me but he did not he Just poked me with his club then from behind him came a worker and the worker with one blow of his bone club he broke the clubmans neck and left him to Die. the next thing I remember is two workers carrying me past some long grass "We must get him to the monk soon or he will bleed to death" one of them said. my horse followed me all the way to the temple. we finnaly arived to the temple. the preist healed me and told me to bathe in the sacred water and then my wounds would be fully healed. I Did what he told me and bathed in the water until I was in good shape I opened my water flask and filled it with the water Just in case. My arm was sowed back on in my sleep but sometimes it shakes and aches when I move it.
So I have to Pour some sacred water on it When it really hurts. One day I bathed in the holy water and Pushed my arm up to see if there was a sidefect then I went to sleep. then in the morning my arm was fully atatched to my body Once again!. I thanked the preist and went on my way Once again. I went of to a transport ship going to englend to see if I could buy a house a stable and a few achors of crop land and farms to live on. We finaly got there. "hey since the monk healed me I should be able to take of my helmet" I took it of and was again able to breath with great ease I took the saddle of my horse and healed its burns, cuts, and brusies with my remaing holy water. I mainaged to buy what I wanted and put my horse in its new stable then took it for a walk so It knew its new surroundings I started planting my crops and found that we had a creek full of tuna they were sworming every where then a glint caught my eye I stuck my hand in the water and pulled out an old battle helmet and broad sword there was something in the helmet but I could not quite see "Arh yuck its a rotting human head" It started moving about "Ahhh!" I yelled as I dropped it to the ground one eye ball was missing and then from out of the eye socket came a nest of babie eels I kicked it all back
the end
