P7/6 4th June 2021

Here is an excerpt of a sci fi narrative written by a group of P7/6 this week.

He angrily charged through the rusty metal floor while screaming and clenching his rigid, rough fists. Running with his narrowing bloodshot eye. His red eyes matched his jumpsuit as he grew more furious . Looking like he wanted to execute someone.

He started to slowdown as the electronic doors blew up. He walked out with a deadly look on his face. Meanwhile, trees busted out of the ceiling, lifting baby Groot back to Earth.
