: This is a space for anyone who wants to share their creative writing. Every couple of weeks we will post a prompt. This will be something to get you thinking! It might be part of a sentence that has to be included in your story or a picture to inspire you! If you want to take part in the challenge you have to write a post using the prompt and only 100 more words (you can use the link on the left hand side of this page to check how many words you have written). We may be able to offer the occasional prize to those that we all really like. Good luck!

Secret Code

Last updated: Monday, June 20, 2011

This week your 100 word story must somehow include this sentence about discovering a code and you must explain what it means:

It was amazing!  I had found a mysterious code that read: you have found treasure

 

 

Good Luck!

I was walking down the corner of the 'ACM centre'. I wondered what it would be like to win the treasure of guessing what ACM stands for. I was still thinking about it when I saw a paper stuck halfway in the wall. I knelt down to get it. It said 'association of castle museums'. It was amazing! I had found a mysterious code that read: You have found treasure. I went back to the office and told the people my guess. They said I had guessed right! So they gave me the most-ever-wanted treasure chest from King Arther's castle!

My Treasure
One day, as I was walking home from school, a shinny object caught my attention. It was a scroll.

I unrolled and flipped it and it was amazing! I had found a mysterious code that read:you have found treasure.

I looked around and found no treasure as in gold or silver.

But one thing I know, every day I am walking home to a home sweet home filled with love and happiness. That’s my treasure!

Homesickness flooded me. I was alone with Jen. They had forced us to walk the plank. Luckily, Jen and I had swam for our lives and found this island.
I lay on the sand, my musles screeching in pain; my lungs screaming for air. I was exhausted. Finally, I opened my eys and prodded Jen awake. We explored the island and we found the cave. At the mouth of the darkness, I spotted something on the wall. It was amazing! I had found a mysterious code that said: You have found the treasure. Maybe my disgraceful life isn't that bad!

Recess had just passed, and Joy didn’t feel like returning to class. She wondered what Myron had seen in the basement that had spooked him and decided to explore for herself. On her way down she found a flashlight. She shone it on the wall and found a code. She heard a crunch. Underneath her foot was a piece of paper which said ANSWER. Now she knew what the code meant. Slowly she opened the big metal door in front of her and saw a person’s shadow. It hissed the code “Enter if you dare: This is Mrs Gorf’s lair.”

'How do I break into this safe?' the robber wondered.He had tried everything-hammer, picklock, guessing random code words.Still the safe remained stubbornly shut. There must have been at least a thousand pounds in there! If he didn't crack the code soon the owners of the house would come back and catch him red-handed. Which was particuarly unfortunate as the residents were policemen. Just as this unpleasant thought crossed his mind he looked out the window and saw a police car pull into the garage. He heard voices and the front door opening.One last try. SAFE. Jackpot.

What is inside this box ? I eagerly tried to open the rusty brown lock. However it wouldn't budge and I realised I would need a hammer. Secretly tucking the box under my t-shirt I quickly tiptoed down to the basement to search for something to help me. I knew I wasn't supposed to look in my Mum's wardrobe, but I just couldn't help being nosey. Grabbing the heavy hammer off Dad's workbench I smashed it against the lock. It cracked and flew across the floor. Peering inside I found a note that said: The treasure is hidden somewhere far away!

One time I earned money on Club Penguin by ice fishing. I caught 60 fish, then I saw the giant mullet coming! And I was really eager to catch it but I didn't know how so I tried using normal bait. No luck. I knew I couldn't catch the giant mullet that way. I tried everything from refreshing the screen to buying new fishing rods but nothing worked. At last I realised if the small worm bait didn't work, maybe it could catch a small fish to be bait for the giant mullet. Finally I found it, my quest was over!

The Stranger part 2
“Bye dad, bye mum,’’ I shouted across the room as they left. Suddenly a stranger appeared and said: “keep this token safe and beware of the black tiger.” This is the fourth time this man had appeared to me. I wonder what was so special about this token. Then, I noticed a note left on the table and it said:”please read the back of the token.’’
I quickly read the back of the token aloud it said to pull the sword out of the stone. Suddenly a gold speck of dust fell from the sky and a sword in a stone appeared before my eyes. I followed the instructions to pull the sword out of the stone. The stranger appeared again and said “time portal! Move it!’’ Suddenly a sleepy face appeared saying “where shall we go majesty?’’ He said: “Lava world and the time portal suddenly turned bigger and went off with a loud boom!! I found myself in Lava world.
The stranger then said:”and now for your second test, defeat the black tiger.’’ I jumped out of the portal and struck at the black tiger that was guarding a topaz. I missed and I did another strike and this time succeeded in hitting the tiger dead. The stranger shouted out to me to pick up the Topaz which the black tiger was guarding. I grabbed the topaz. Finally I found it, my quest was over.

Charlie was lying down on his bed.... suddenly he was in another world. He started walking around, he turned around. Someone was following him, “My name is Tomas” the boy said. They walked together. Charlie started noticing that nobody had to pay for things it was free. Suddenly Charlie just ran off to the candy store he started grabbing all the yummy candies and put them in his jacket. The people didn’t mind, they were very kind. After a few minutes Charlie found his self back on his bed, he realised it was all just a dream. He wrote about it and called “JOURNEY OF KINDNESS”.

Gradually making their way through the foliage, the three apprentices trudged on. A constant stream of complaints flowed steadily from their mouths. This was cut short by a glimpse of what could quite possibly be sunlight! For the first time in months, the youngsters sprinted out into the open air, concealing their eyes behind quivering hands for fear of the rays blinding them. To advance through the novice stage into a powerful warlock was a huge achievement. One that could only be accomplished by performing a truly kind deed to a towns person. They succeeded.Unfortunately with several broken limbs.

Suddenly I felt my bear feet in a cold place I looked around but I couldn't see my own bedroom I wondered why I was here? I heard a voice it wasn't scary it wasn't so sweet it sounded like a random person speaking to me I felt a bit scared. I also remember that I am not allowed to speak to strangers so if I did then I could get in some serious trouble but then the voice came closer so I could hear it and it ended up being a journey of kind because I got this feeling.

When I woke up in the middle of nowhere I was terrified! In front of me was a note that said” Dear Brave One, Lordon (Master of darkness) is back. He has captured Shimmer the shimmering unicorn along with Queen Glitter. Please help them or else Kindness Island will be miserable and if you do not rescue them, our island will have no joy and we will lose our kindness. From Prince Eduard” I was confused? Shimmer the shimmering unicorn, Kindness Island, what is this prince talking about? Suddenly I heard a man talking to me “Are you the girl who is up for the Journey of Kindness?

Mike was walking down the street and spotted a little kid using an annoying radio so he grabbed the radio and threw it in the bin. The little girl started crying but Mike just walked away. Exactly when he started walking away from her, the girl’s mother came out and started shouting at Mike for being mean. When the girl’s mum let Mike walk away, he didn’t think that conversation was quite nice. He realised on the way home that if he had been nicer then he wouldn’t get shouted at. He returned to the girl and apologized to her.

“Whoa where am I!” Mr. Hyde exclaimed. He seemed to be in a swirling vortex. Suddenly a voice echoed around the vortex. “ I brought you here to show you the journey of kindness,let this be a good lesson to you.”

“This is you when you were young, you would never share your toys” Though you probably didn’t realize it, we punished you for it by breaking your toy the next day. Now do you see how bad it is to be unkind?

Mr. Hyde jerked awake and shook his head “Is this all a dream?” he thought, puzzled.

The Journey of Kindness
Today I woke up feeling better than I ever felt. As I stood up, I saw a time portal. There was something engraved on the time portal: “The journey to kindness’’. As I stepped out of bed, I felt very dizzy and weird. I felt like I was flying! Suddenly, everything stopped. I stepped out of the portal and found myself on a beautiful island. There were many people of all shapes and sizes in the island. Some were huge and tall, whilst others were tiny and short.
I was amazed by the number of different sizes of people. As I walked further, different sizes of people came to greet me. They gave me fruit, food and all sorts of things. Indeed, this was truly the ‘‘ journey of kindness.’’
