Australia by Sage Percival
Alexandra Writers Centre Society
Going to Australia was already a risky move for them. Australia had HUGE spiders – devil's work. They hated everything about Australia. It was awful and hideous. BUT they had to prove it was real. The conspiracy theorists needed them to! So, they had geared up and went – armed only with sticky string, flyswatters, and a sword from 1402.
The only thing they hated more than Australia was swamps, and OF COURSE Australia had swamps. Swamps and dogs in swamps. Wait! That was absolutely not a dog! Why was it green? Was Australia even real after all?
The ugly stout little thing rose out of the swamp and came right for them. They turned and ran all the way to Greenland to spend the rest of their life there. Far away from anything to do with the COMPLETELY fake country called Australia.
