Francis by Liam M

Francis (Horror Story)

 P 1 - I was sure of it, my parents must be asleep by now. I jumped out of my tent onto the bark that started cracking beneath my feet and grabbed a torch. I sneaked through the path to find my wooden boat floating in the deep blue river. I hopped in the boat and set off for the deepest part of the river where i could look at the stars and write in my journal.

P 2 - I had been paddling for around 20 minutes when i realised I had reached my destination. I lay down and looked at the stars. Hours went past and then I heard something weird. Knock! Knock!, I gasped, “What was that”? I thought to myself. I was confused for a while, but then i realised it was probably just an animal. Another twenty minutes went past and I had started to forget about the strange knocking. Suddenly, KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! It was even louder than before. Now I was getting scared. I realised I had to get back to my family so I started paddling as hard and as fast as I could. I wasn’t moving, what was happening!

P 3 - I lowered my oar into the water to see if anything was there. Splash! My oar had got sucked into the water. I jumped back and had now knocked my other oar into the water. I stopped and tried thinking about how i could fix this problem. I knew now what I had to do. I was going to sit it out, wait for the morning to come. My boredom was overwhelming and I had resorted to drawing monsters in my journal. I looked at my watch to find that it was almost morning. Excitement was flowing through my body, but doubt was fighting its way in. Again it was the knocking, but this time it had turned into three loud bangs.

P 4 - I felt my body sink slowly in the water, I tried holding my breath but it was no use. Nothing was going to stop this boat from sinking. I went down, down into the deep blue river, and never came back.
