Click, click, click! The sound of a controller button grew louder each time I got competitive. But the sound of rain from outside was even louder. Each raindrop sounds like tap shoes used on concrete.
I was home alone with no one but my dog Coco. While gaming I could hear a loud knock on the door. “What the.” That sounded like no knock but a bang echoing from an empty, silent room. As I caught a glimpse of Coco barking at the door I yelled out his name. “Coco!” He didn’t stop. He was shaking. His fur was standing up and he backed down. I sensed something was wrong but as soon as the knocking stopped I forgot about it.
Within 30 minutes the TV flicked onto the news. “ Hello people of Grindville watching. It is reported that you should stay at home. Lock every single door and windows. There seems to be a heavy hailstorm. Lasting about 6 hours.” The news reporter went on and on. Nothing seemed interesting before stopping at a part where the news reporter says: “Skinwalkers Have been caught. True or not you should still not open the door! I repeat do not open the door!”
This had to be a joke. My parents would tell me all sorts of stories about Grindville being the safest town known to mankind!
Soon after a while I heard a knock louder than the first knock. “Ruby!” I heard a woman. She sounded familiar “Ruby, open the door!” Although I wasn’t brave, I replied.“Coming!”
As I stood in front of the door I got a feeling. Like I’m not supposed to be doing this.
Just to be sure I peeked through the curtains. A woman. “Mum?” I was confused. She went out with my dad.
As soon as I unlocked the door she burst in. “Ruby!” My mum looked down while I was on the floor. “Mum? Where’s dad!?” “He’s still at the restaurant, don’t worry.” “Restaurant?” I was sure my mum said they went to an important family meeting. I didn’t really pay much attention but I was sure. Surprised, I said, “What are you doing back here?” “I came to make sure my daughter was ok.” She replied with a grin. “Sit down, I’ll make tea. And I have something to tell you.” My mum would never make tea if we have to talk about something. Soonly I became suspicious. She went on and on asking about family stuff. Like my birthday. “Hey, mum.” “Yes?” “This doesn’t taste like the usual tea.” “Oh, I have a usual tea order?” I was surprised. My mum would probably know her usual tea even if she had dementia most of the time.
My phone’s ringtone set off. “Wait mum, I have to answer this call.” It was my mum’s phone number. “Hmm.” I picked it up and heard a woman’s voice. My mom’s voice. “Hey Ruby? I’m almost here but we’re stuck in traffic. The hail storm is heavy so we might not be able to make it.” “Wait. Mum? Is this a prank or something?” “What?” Cars honking made it difficult to hear my mom’s voice. But I was definitely sure that was her. “Mum, I thought you were just talking to me in the lounge?” “No. Are you delusional? I’m not here yet.” As I thought about it I realised. “The news!” I must’ve let in a skinwalker. “Ruby?” That was the only thing I heard before dropping the phone and picking up my softball bat. As I slowly encountered the living room with a fast beating heart, no one was there.
Task Description: For litreacy we had to choose 2 ideas. Those ideas include a group. As you can see I drew some gogo boots and have uploaded a video. Recreating a famous part about the author throwing a dart. It landed on the brother (pretty sure) I was the mum Also the driver. There can be some bits of bad acting and some bloopers. We didnt know how to cut it out but hopefully we finish the voice over. Something intresting was the acting. I have alot of words I cant really explain much. But the challening part was MY acting. I couldnt hold in my laughter. We had to restart most of the time because of me. But we enjoyed doing this. Check it out!
