Cockroaches

By Sam M.

One day a cockroach family went for a picnic. They lived in a big house. They saw huge things go by. They saw that some of these big things killed their relatives.

They were preparing the things to eat. They heard a loud bell, but they paid little attention. They kept preparing the picnic lunch. Suddenly, one of the huge things came closer. This one looked different. It had on a mask.

The cockroach family went back to the cockroach village where they told everybody about this new threat. Then, they saw something come through the walls. It smelled bad. Everybody started to run all over the walls, trying to get away.

Some who smelled too much got dizzy and couldn’t do anything. They fell flat on the floor. Others tried to escape from the gas, but the gas was all over the place.

At the end, only one survived. He was afraid it would happen again, so he was going to leave. As he started to leave, he heard something behind him begin to shake. He didn’t look back. He began to run. He got smashed.
