Story Competition Winners
 
To celebrate their 30th birthday the Royston Writers' Circle held a very short story competition as part of Royston Arts Festival 2009. Julie Dore, said “the entries were amazing with lots of imagination and clever story telling. It was interesting that the children's entries were very varied and many had fantasy element whereas the adults were mainly concerned with death, murder or romance!”  Well done to everybody who entered and especially Jessica and Sakara the winner and runner up in the up-to-11 section.

The Best Week Since Mum Left
Lily would sit by the computer and would wait for an email from her mum because she gets one from her every week.  But this week is different.  She gets home from school and finds a parcel and a card on the table, addressed to her from her mum. She was 5 when her mum left, now she is eleven.  So it’s been along time since she saw her.  She opens the parcel and finds a hamster cage and in the card a £25 gift card for any pet shore.  She begged her Dad to take her to get hamsters and supplies and he finally said OK.

 

She choose one white, one brown, one black and one grey hamster.  It cost £20 plus food, a bottle, some toys and a big bed for them to sleep in.  As soon as she got home she put them in their cage and started writing down possible names for them.  In the end she decided on Fluffy, Nibbles, Cracker and Sniffer.  She plays with each one every day for 15 minutes and they grew to love her.  She still misses her mum but every time she plays with the hamsters she feels closer to her.

The Story of Miss Piggy who wanted to go shopping but ended up in the Laundrette
 
Miss Piggy had saved up some money to go shopping in town.  She put on a nice pretty dress, but as she walked out of her front door she tripped and broke the heel of her shoe!  Miss Piggy decided to take a shortcut across the field, but it had been raining the night before which made it hard to walk.  Then suddenly she slipped, landing in a deep puddle of mud.  She decided shopping was cancelled and went to the laundrette.  She got two plastic bags out of her handbag, ripped holes in them and put them on so she could put her clothes in the wash.
