Amisha Sadani 8CH

Prompt: He waits. Shrouded by the folds of darkness that surround him, the chill of the early morning seeps through his robes, into his veins. He waits, as the groan of ancient redwoods fill the silent void, and branches bow low in it’s grandeur. A ghostly murmur carries over the treetops, afloat amongst the blue ocean above. Light spills through the slivers of the branches as he watches. A flicker, then a flame. A glowing orb of light sparks between his fingertips, as his hands play around its’ circumference, shaping and molding this beautiful menace, ‘till it launches itself into the sky.

Prompt: ...but where would we hide it all?... I scuttle through the streets, covered in grime from head to toe. A bundle in my arms bobs up and down with slight footfalls. Blood red and crisp in the night air, defiance rests in my shivering hands, juicy and sweet. How I long to take just one bite, to sink my teeth into it’s perfect skin. Street rats hurry behind me, innocent, helpless, silent and stealthy, unnoticed beneath the blanket of stars. But where would we hide it all? As we approach the decrepit building, a horrible feeling of guilt grabs hold of me, dragging me into the darkness.

Prompt: Shadows snatch at the light, tendrils lashing out into the cobbled street as they shuffle. Trailing feet behind their broken bodies, victims to the icy grip of death. Tinged blue against the endless night, their misted figures weave through the glowing streets, a wintry murmur in their wake. The glass in a shop window frosts over as the shadow’s tendrils reach out to claim it’s glow. One by one, the lights in the street flicker slowly, then die out as a swirling black mass surges above, devouring, consuming, thunderous roaring. All that’s left will forever remain; victims to the shadows.

Today we celebrated Southwell's 106th birthday for Founders Day 2017. It was a great day filled with heaps of fun and some funky line dancing! In the morning, we had a Founders Day chapel service where Bishop Helen-Ann gave an amazing inspirational speech. After morning tea, we had a short assembly in the Great Hall followed by gathering on the oval to have a party! To kick it off, each house participated in line dancing, with my house (Durham), dancing to Cotton Eye Joe. It was great fun, except for the worms which were everywhere! Yuck! Anyway, after the line dancing, we had a students vs teachers relay race, with the teachers taking it out in the end. Following the race, everyone linked up for GIANT school conga lines! After that, we released Southwell balloons into the world beyond to celebrate our school's 106th birthday! Later, we had performances from both rock bands during lunch on the oval. It was a great experience and definitely the best founders day I have
