The 2 Eso students were given the beginning of a short story called "12 Sutton Street." They then had to create their own endings. Here are the winning submissions!
I was sleeping when the alarm clock rang. It was only 6 o’clock in the morning, so I decided to go back to sleep.
When I woke up again, it was quarter past nine, so I jumped quickly out of the bed. The phone rang while I was having a shower, but finally it stopped. Then it rang again while I was making a cup of coffee. When I answered it, a woman’s voice said: “You’ve got to help me. Come to 12, Sutton Street as soon as you can. I’ll pay you anything”.
I jumped into the car. When I arrived at Sutton Street, I had a feeling that somebody was watching me. I got out of the car and rang Number 12.
While I was standing at the front door, I heard voices inside the house. But suddenly they stopped. The door was open so I decided to go in. Suddenly, the door closed. Somebody was standing behind me, so…
… so I tried to run but suddenly I felt something crashing into my head. I fell on the ground. When I woke up, I was in a room with my classmates. We were tied with chains to the floor. In front of us there was a table with weapons (guns and knives), but suddenly I felt the chain set free, and the same with my classmates.
Alejandro was the first who approached the table, and I saw that he was reading a note. Suddenly, with a fast movement, he took a gun and killed Brais, the two Migueles and Marcos. I was shocked!
Sara, carefully, read the note, took a gun and killed Alejandro. She turned around and looked at us seriously, but, with tears on her face, she took a gun and killed Raúl, René, Manuel, Noa and José. She fell down while she was whispering. Suddenly, Lucia did the same movement than Sara, but Ainhoa anticipated and killed Sara before no one could do or say anything.
Ainhoa said: “Don’t read the note!” But Lucia didn’t listen to her and, while she was reading the note, an old woman dressed in black shouted: “Don’t read the note! It makes you kill people!”
...so I turned around and saw my brother behind me. He was very angry and he had got a knife. He wanted to kill me! We started to run fast and he fell into a trap with a wolf. Then, I opened a door and I saw one million dollars and a family tied. I phoned the police. My brother was a wanted killer in my city!
One hour later, I returned home and my brother was there with the wolf and a knife. He attacked me, but I took him the gun and… Pum! I killed him! But he didn’t go away. I see him every night, near my bed, looking at me and waiting to kill me.
…so I turned around and I saw a man dressed in black with a white mask. It was like a doll’s face with holes in the eyes. The face was divided in two, with black lines in the form of a cross. It also had black tears. I was too scared, so I didn’t know what I would do. I looked around me, I saw old vases, a big painting of a lighthouse…
Then, I found a hammer and on its left side, a lot of screws. When I was close to him with the hammer, lots of people appeared. It was a prank! Suddenly, I saw Drake, and in that moment I got too nervous, but really happy at the same time! Now, I’m at home, watching the TV show and laughing a lot about the prank!
…so I turned around and saw a teenager. He said to me that his name was Harry and that he was 13 years old, like me. While we were talking, we saw a suspicious woman. She was walking towards 12, Sutton Street, the street where strange people lived, and she seemed to be one of those people. She was watching me fixedly. Harry and I got scared, so we started running until my grandparents’ house.
Suddenly, the suspicious woman rang at my grandparent’ house and, after two minutes, she started to hit the door. When my grandfather decided to call the police, the woman entered the garden. She saw me and gave me my keys, which I had lost in 12, Sutton Street.
...so I turned around and it was a potato with a knife! While I was running to the car, I saw my grandma in a scooter with sunglasses. I went to my parents’ house, and my mum punched me and told me: “You didn’t call me, I’m very angry!” I went to the kitchen, I drank a glass of whisky, I caught a knife and went back to the car. I was driving back to Sutton Street when suddenly I saw Keanu Reeves in a scooter with sunglasses. I thought: “What the hell!”.
Finally, I arrived in 12, Sutton Street, and the potato with the knife was at the door! I caught the knife and the potato exploded! I went into the house and I found a woman. She told me: “Sorry, I didn’t want to call you, I wanted to call the pizzeria!” I went back home and slept placidly in my bed.
…so I turned around and saw a strange old man in a picture, watching me with creepy eyes. I ignored him and I went through the door and I entered in a dark room. There was a broken photograph on the floor. It was a photograph of my classmates and me with a cross on my face!
Then, I turned around and went to the door, but the door was closed. Suddenly, I heard a scream and that something was running towards me. It was a stranger creature with human appearance and a big and creepy mouth! He was screaming and seemed to be crying.
Suddenly, a man dressed in black opened the door and a lot of people entered in the room to catch the creature. Then, I went out of the house and saw a truck with a logotype. The logotype had the letters S, C, P, and under the letters, the words “Secure, Contain, Protect”. And this is everything I remember….
