"THE TRIP" - 1986, Age 8-9

The Trip

   Yesterday we went to the Gold Coast. My brothers kept on fighting and my dad stopped the car and gave them a smack. Then we went off. At last we got to the Gold Coast.
   When we got there, we played with cars in the sand. We played on the rocks, and had lunch on the rocks.
   At three o'clock Daddy said "It's time to go home now."

"THE GHOST WHO SAW THE MAN ON THE BEACH" - 1986, Age 8 or 9

This is one of the more stranger stories I found. What on earth is it about?! I suspect I may have been recalling a vivid nightmare I'd had — I used to have a lot of bad dreams about ghosts, and camping in the dark. The ending is very abrupt too, so I may not have finished it.

The ghost who saw the man on the beach.

One night these people were in their tent and were hereing things.
One of the men went up on the hill and never came back. When April went by, the man came back as a ghost. The ghost told the men to go on the beach at full moon. The next night it was full moon. The man Peter went onto the beach and waited. After an hour a big face appeared in the sky. The face told Peter to tell John to go up on the hill.

"MY COLOUR POEM" - 24 Mar 1987, Age 9

My Colour Poem

Green, green,

The forest is big,

Quick, quick,

A bear is coming,

Big, big,

The bear is big,

It is mean and it

might eat me.

My Second Colour Poem

Brown, brown,

The sail is small,

Touch, touch,

The sail is slimy,

Slow, slow,

The sail is slow,

The sail is naughty

it ate my garden.

Mr Alligater

When suddenly up came a gatter with a mortar, missed! Got the tree but the tree got me!

"A CLOSE ENCOUNTER!" - 9 Mar 1987, Age 9

Evidently inspired by Spielberg's interplanetary movies that I loved so dearly at the time...

A CLOSE ENCOUNTER!

   As we heard the strange droning whirring sound, we saw the trees swaying violently. A UFO was landing on Mt Gravatt!
   Soon, something came out. It was a metre tall, had short thin legs, and was browny-red, had long thin arms and a turtle face.
   It was not mean at all. Soon it climbed in the window and I gave it some food and it picked it with its long thin fingers and ate it like a pig.
   I was so happy because it was going to be my pet and I fed it seven times a day.

"AT THE CIRCUS" - 12 Feb 1986, Age 8

Can you guess what my favourite show was at this time?

AT THE CIRCUS

  Once upon a time there was a famous clown called Mr. X, Y, Z, once he pretended to murder a lady. Once Mr. T smashed down the door. Then Mr. X, Y, Z got mad. They started to yell at each other. Then the people started to laugh. It was only a trick. The men were dressed up. END

"AUSSIE KONG DOG" - 1986, Age 8-9

AUSSIE KONG DOG

  Once there lived a dog called Benjamin who had a pet hen. He practised Kong Fu on the hen and he had races round and round the junk yard. Once the dog ran into the bush what a disgrace.
  I can tell you what happened - there was rabbit blood everywhere!
  Once a robber brock in the Dog's kennil and robbed the hen and ate it raw.
  The robber came back to rob the dog, the dog woke up and did some Kong Fu and that was the end of the robber.

"PIG-WOLF" - 1988, Age 10-11

I thought I'd start with the story I named this blog after. I have no idea where this idea came from, and I have no recollection of writing it. But growing up with a fascination for monsters, I used to like creating my own strange beasts. Pig-Wolf was one of many...

PIG-WOLF

  The Pig-Wolf would be the uglyest thing you have ever seen. It has giant claws about 16cm long and teeth about 9cm long. The whole body would be about 8 metres long and the width would be about 3 metres. It is cross with pig and wolf that's why it's called a Pig-Wolf.
  The worst thing about it is that it kills anything that gets in it's way. Every night it gos up onto the hill top and howls like a wolf.
  It lives in a giant tree trunk, from one of the most biggest trees in the universe.
  It is a good hunter, it has a very long tongue that sucks it's prey into it's mouth like a vacuum cleaner. It hold its prey prey in its legs like a bee hold its honey in its legs. And it eats it later on in its log.
