Here is another entry to our children's creative writing competition.

Sky Children by Zoe Chamberlain (aged 10) St Andrews C of E Primary School

“It’s time to wake, my child,” you hear a small voice say. “You need to-" just then, you wake up in the middle of a beautiful island. You get up, and stumble down the dirt path, leading into a small cave.

There were torches that hung from the stone walls of the cave as it lead a path across the narrow cave.

You eventually see the light trailing out from the cave, leading into a desert.

You look into a small pool of water that was just laying there. Your skin was as dark as night, and your hair was as bright as the stars. You were wearing a small little dress that hung from your shoulders and stopped at your hips, you were wearing tight leggings and some small, leather shoes.

Across the hot, bright desert you see a hill of sand so you walk toward it, taking a handful of water with you. You hear the voice again saying to “feel the force and energy and you will.” You didn’t know what that was supposed to mean but you tried to do it anyways. Before you knew it your dress became some sort of wing and you gracefully flew upward the hill.

Just as you were walking toward a mysterious gateway in the distance, you feel a tap-tap-tapping on your shoulder, when you turn around you wake up from that dream.

Was it real?

You awoke in a magical forest.

Then everything went black.

But you could still hear the voice saying “Wake up, my child,”
