The Red Stone
By Charlie, Middle School Grade 2, No. 97 Middle School, Guangzhou, China
One day, I was walking by the river. Suddenly I saw something in the river. I got it . What’s that? A red stone. “Oh it’s interesting.” So I took it home.
A few months I didn’t mention it. But lots of strange things happened to me, like a few books lost, my desk burned even though I never smoke, and my plants all died!!! I didn’t know why.
One evening I got up to have a drink. I saw my clothes shining with a red light. I took away the clothes. It was the red strange stone!!!
I didn’t sleep that night and looked at the stone. I put it in one of the machines that I invented. With the X-ray, I found it wasn’t a stone but a living thing. I phoned the police, but nobody answered. I went out of my house and knocked at the next door. A famous professor lived inside. But neither he answered. “My god. Where is everybody? Where have they gone?”
After thinking I was nearly crazy. I shouted for a longtime. It was still quiet everywhere. I walked out of the building.
What’s that moving? Big area of red “stones”!!! At once the one in my hand got very hot. I threw it away. I could take on. But the “stones” were still moving to me……
