Lurch, brake, accelerate.
OK, this is bad. Dad’s doing his best, but these crazy roads are throwing us around in the back of the Citroen like frazzled yo-yos.
‘Where’re we now?’ Jack, my brother, moans. ‘You’re lost again, aren’t you?’
‘No,’ Dad responds tiredly, wiping his face. ‘I know exactly where we are.’
Frowning at the satnav, he guns up another anonymous twisting dirt lane. He’s been driving clueless along narrow tracks for over an hour.
Not that I mind. It’s not as if I care where we’re going.

Dad turns one final corner and pulls next to a hut that is rundown and boarded up. The two boys get out and try to break down the door.
“Dad why did we even come here?” asked Jack.
“Let me explain” Dad said wearly. “At home I was laying down in bed watching T.V and out of the corner of my eye I saw a tall, dark figure in my room we locked eyes and the figure backed away somewhere but I don’t know where” he said fearfully.
“Is that why you where in a panic when you got us” I asked
“Yes” Dad replied.
They noticed the tins of beans on the shelves and so they all sat down to eat dinner on the dark oak table. It was silent except for metal forks hitting ceramic plates as they all contemplated why they were here.

After dinner, Jack got up from the table and walked back through the broken front door to the back patio and sat down thinking about what had happened. The sound of sticks and leaves snapping in the distance attracts Jack and as he looks up he begins to walk over to the dry gum leaves and sees a tall black figure walking towards the hut Jack sprints inside catching his breath…
“CRASH!”...

There was a thud; I see Jack’s unconscious body, purple faced with a large pool of blood left on the ground. I glanced to my left, the slim dark figure that dad was talking about faded away into the void of the night, eyes locked onto me. The wind caught and threw leaves, making the scene much more eerie. “We have to leave and get Jack to a hospital” Dad exclaimed “We aren’t safe”. We ran back to the Citroen in the front of the hut, carrying Jack, as exhausted as we were. We peacefully lay Jack in the back of the Citroen, leaving us to silently contemplate: who was this slender dark figure and why was he following our Dad?

On the way back from the hut, the rain slammed on the narrow mud roads, making the winding, twisting track almost a river. The Citroen leapt into the air many times, quashing us into the car seats and making the grunts and squeals of Jack more audible every time the car had jumped. Once, there was a steep ramp that we had run over and after our screams, the crunch of breaking glass could be heard…

I gradually opened my eyes not aware of my surroundings a deep rose red liquid trickled down my forehead and a chill ran down my spine. As I touched my head I winced and cried out in pain. I looked around to find my dad but he was nowhere to be found. I looked out of the windscreen and saw my dad’s legs and body sinking into the mud. As for my brother he was slumped in his seat covered in blood.

As they drove on, the car stuttered to a halt. They were stranded. They ended up in a field - an old barn came into view. Sam creaked open the barn door and walked through. He found himself somewhere else. Somewhere damp. Sam heard a stuttering noise. He looked back. A hoard of zombies rambled towards him.

Suddenly, MR ARMSTRONG appears with a helicopter and with a biscuit launcher and shoots all of the zombies down. “Well” said Sam “this can’t go more random.” BOY WAS HE WRONG! Teleporting horses appeared… with machetes. Then he looked closer… they were made of Doritos. One thing went into his mind… EAT THEM.

30 minutes later, the zombies woke up. Scared, Sam ran in a nearby bush and watched. Surprised zombies got up and lobbed the biscuits at the helicopter and hit the propeller, MR ARMSTRONG went crashing down. MR ARMSTRONG was badly hurt. Sam and MR ARMSTRONG got up and ran…

The zombies got up and start singing “deux-mille deux-mille dixneuf dixneuf deux-mille duex-mille dixneuf dixnueuf” and in disbelief hypnotised MR ARMSTRONG but all of a sudden Mr Sutton came with an army of penguins and killed every one including Sam and then Mr Sutton drove away in a Mercedes.

As Mr Sutton was driving away there was a crunch… He had ran over the last biscuit. All the penguins climbed out the car and pulled their masks off… ROBINS?!?

The robins started flapping their wings, and the Mercedes flew away…. With Mr Sutton. But then he unexpectedly felt his car drop… Someone had blown it up.

Someone had started following them, Mr Sutton looked in the mirror… SAM?! Was he the one that blew up the car?

Sam had electric coming all out of him, he was levitating… and biscuit crumbs?? Mr Armstrong was there with him, they were back for revenge…

Mr Armstrong had a bazooka filled with custard creams and jammy dodgers, he had to smash a tambourine to shoot a biscuit.

“J’AIME…” shouted Mr Armstrong. Then loads of biscuits started shooting the car. Suddenly, Mr Armstrong and Sam came out and slapped Mr Sutton in the face with a biscuit hand…

Mr Sutton ate the biscuit hand and gathered lots of science equipment. Mr Sutton had science powers?! He got all the robins to get their curriculum books and sharpen them, the robins floated with Mr Sutton and got their pencils and done the ultimate move… “I will not accept that…”

Suddenly, Miss Brooker came out of nowhere with her robot and her giant bulldog (Pumbaa) and killed Sam. Dadada peace was finally restored other than for Mr Sutton who was in jail for being a cannibal.

Next thing thing they knew Michal Jordan came in wearing twinkle toes making him a god. He dunked on the Miss Brooker giving her dysentery sending her to purgatory. Mr. Armstrong crumpled into a ball crying thinking nothing could get weirder. Next thing he knew the army of the king of memetopia came first sending in the karens and kyles raining tacos burning the feeble mortal penguins that Mr. Sutton summoned. Next godzilla challenged the rock and world peace was not a thing anymore. They had to restore it by getting Mr. Sutton out of jail.
Sadly Godzilla never fought the rock since Spongebob came and ate his toes after turning them into krabby patties. Summoning satan from the underworld lucky Chuck Norris was on the scene and killed satan while breaking Mr. Sutton out of jail. Mr. Sutton restored world peace somehow. THE END and then Sam died
