Story Time Animated

I could hardly contain my excitement as I waited outside the school gates for my Mom to pick me up. My friends were all excited for me too! “I can’t believe you’re finally going to see your Mom, I know she’s only been away a year, but it seems like forever!” “I know right! I’m so happy, I’ve really missed her.” “Yeah, I know you’ve spoken to her every day, but it’s not the same as having your Mom...

H-hi. I'm Maria. If you're listening to this then I'm probably already dead. But I need to start from the beginning. Where it all began. Hi! I'm Maria. I'm here about the job interview? Hi Maria! Yes, yes, right this way. It's nice to meet you. So, you called in about getting a job here? Yes! I love working in grocery stores, my work ethic is really great, I just love chatting to people and-- That...

When I was little, I took great pride in my family. My parents would take me to the park and I would wiggle my eyebrows mockingly at other kids as I walked with my loving mom and dad and their parents fought over stupid things, like forgetting the juice boxes or bringing the wrong blanket to sit on. My parents and I were the perfect family. Every night we had fantastic dinners that my parents cook...

I took a deep breath and summoned up all the courage I had inside of me. I was surrounded on all sides by Ninja’s. This wasn’t going to be easy! One by one they all began to launch their attack. I fought back with all of my strength. One charged at me with his star, I did a backflip and jumped out of his way. Another came at me from behind, I grabbed him and threw him down to the ground. The last...

I was standing waiting for everyone to stop chatting so that I could begin my song. It was my best friend Tia’s birthday party and she had asked me if I would sing her favourite song for her. As everyone quietened down I began to sing “One last time I need to be the one who takes you home One more time I promise after that, I’ll let you go” The whole of the room erupted into cheers and applause. I...

As I crept towards Mom’s lab door, my palms became clammy and beads of sweat formed on my brow. My hands clenched the door and I pushed it open inch by inch until the space was wide enough for me to slide into the lab. My eyes bulged and my jaw dropped when I saw it! There she was… my baby sister in a large standing tube which was being filled with liquid.  “Mom!” I screamed hysterically as I...

I opened my eyes and looked all around me, “Surely this must be a dream” But it wasn’t, it was real. Everything around me had been completely destroyed, smoke still rose out from the ashes of burnt down buildings, the sky was bright red with the glow from distant fires. It was a complete ghost town, I couldn’t see anyone else at all. “Oh my god, am I the only person to have survived this?” Whateve...

“I still can’t believe we scored tickets to this J-Wizz concert!” Maddison screamed and threw her hands in the air. I loved J-Wizz and my bedroom was adorned with his posters. I was his biggest fan! My other friends Monica, Claudette and Eden were there as well. Right before intermission J-Wizz threw his jacket into the air. Being the tallest among my friends, I reached up and grabbed it. “I got i...

I stood there watching as the passengers started coming out of the terminal, my “Welcome Home” sign held proudly in the air. I was so excited to see my Mom, she had been working abroad for the last year and I had missed her so much. “There she is Brittany!” “Where Dad? I can’t see her!” “There!” I looked to see who Dad was pointing at, when I saw my Mom my mouth dropped in shock “Mom, what’s happe...

After walking around the mall for hours with my parents and younger sister, Michelle, I was starving! As we sat in the Food Court, I picked up a fry and was about to place it in my mouth when someone grabbed my hand. With a confused look, I tilted my head as a slim lady with a large mink coat and shades seemed to be admiring my hand. "Can we help you?" Mom looked at the lady as she removed my hand...

As soon as she entered the room everyone stopped what they were doing and just stared at her. She was so beautiful, you know, one of those girls who just looks good without putting in any effort. I knew immediately that everyone would want to be friends with her and I was right! Everyone began to gather around her, “Hey, you’re new here, right? What’s your name?” “Hi, there, you can sit with me if...

It was that time of year again! The day almost every girl both looked forward to and dreaded at the same time. It was valentine’s day. My sister Mindy and I walked nervously towards our lockers, “Please let me get one this year!” “Me too! I just want one!” We stopped in front of our lockers and looked at each other, “Let’s open them together, after three!” “Ok.” “One, two, three!” I opened my lock...

I was sitting in the lounge, watching tv with my parents when an ad came on for a new app. “Hey, that looks really cool, I should download it!” I grabbed my phone and searched for the app, “Yay, I found it!” I clicked on it and waited for it to download. “It says here that it can detect anyone’s DNA through facial recognition. In a matter of seconds you can find out if you are related to someone!”...

As I walked through the restaurant something I saw stopped me in my tracks. “Wait a minute! That’s weird! That girl looks exactly like my girlfriend Stella, but it can’t be, she’s kissing some guy.” Just at that second the girl stopped kissing him and turned around, my heart almost stopped beating. It was Stella!! “Oh my god! You’re cheating on me!!” Stella instantly looked guilty, “Robbie, what a...

It was a Saturday afternoon much like any other Saturday afternoon and as usual I was sitting in the lounge watching tv. “My life is so boring! Nothing exciting ever happens around here!” Then suddenly out of nowhere I heard an almighty “BOOM” I looked to my right and was shocked to see that a car had come crashing through the wall and was stopped just inches away from the chair I was sitting on....

My heart was beating so fast and loud I could hardly hear the clicks as I turned the safe dial. Just one more number and I would be in. “Click!” I looked at my teammates and smiled, “Easy!!” As I opened the safe door, the glare from the jewel inside almost blinded me. It was the biggest diamond I had ever seen in my life. “Come on, don’t take all day, the cops will be here soon!” I picked up the j...

“Oh crap is that who I think it is?” Gabby, my girlfriend, looked in the direction I was looking at, “Who is it?” Just then my stepmother, Nicole, walked up to the bar. “Hey, let me get a martini,” she looked across at Gabby before returning her gaze to me, “Follow me, now!” We walked out of the bar and she turned to me, “So this is why you asked your father to let you live away from home?” She sa...

Picture this. You live in a hut in the forest with your two parents who have convinced you that this is perfectly normal. In fact, you’ve never seen any other human beings but them. Your only friends are trees, rivers and flowers and you only eat what your parents are able to catch or grow themselves. Sounds like the beginning of a really bad movie right? Well that was my life until I was eight ye...

I took a great big bite of my burger and smiled at my girlfriend, Natasha. “I’ve been looking forward to this all day!” “Oh my god Paul! You and your food! What are you like?” “Don’t tell me you haven’t been looking forward to coming to this place too!” “Well I have and I haven’t!” “What do you mean?” “Well, of course, I love coming here, I mean we do come every Saturday night! But I haven’t been...

I finally had everything I had wanted. My long-time crush, Issac, was finally my boyfriend who took me out on dates every other day. And his family, well they worshipped me like a literal goddess and would do anything for me. Ever since I was a child I had always gotten everything I set my eyes on. You see, my parents were super-rich with their huge jewelry business so it was raining money for us...

I opened my eyes and immediately closed them again. The glare from the lights above me were too bright for my eyes to handle. I blinked a couple of times and tried again. This time I managed to focus, but as I looked around me, I had no idea where I was. All I could see were machines and all I could hear was a strange beeping noise. Suddenly I realised where I was, I was in a hospital room. “But w...

“Matthew put that book down and go to sleep!” my dad said as he walked past my little room. It was already eleven at night and my parents expected us to fall asleep by nine. I shared a room with my two little brothers Zachary and James. They were already sleeping. I put the book away, turned off the light and faded into dreamland. I loved to dream because it helped me to escape my life which wasn’...

My best friend and I were sitting at the back of the classroom, trying not to get noticed by our teacher as we whispered and giggled to each other. We had so much to catch up on, I hadn’t seen her since Friday afternoon and it was now Monday morning. I was listening to her telling me all about the party she had gone to on Saturday when suddenly someone caught my attention. “Who is that?’ “Who?” “H...

"We have another package for you to deliver don't be late." The phone went dead. “What?” I said looking at my phone confused. I scrolled through my phone to see if I ever got a call or message from the number before. “Who are these…..” My voice trailed off when I realized it wasn’t my phone, that’s why I didn’t recognize the number, it was my mom’s! Hi, I’m Jackson. “Tasha is going to kill me,” I...

“Odessa! Malcolm! There’s someone here we would like you to meet!” I crawled out of my room and groaned. I had an assignment due and all these interruptions were totally unacceptable. As soon as we arrived in the living room Mom introduced the girl who was standing between her and Dad, “Meet Genesis, you new sister!” My jaw dropped! New sister? “Yesssss!” Malcolm squealed, like the annoying ten ye...
