Story Time Animated

I took a deep breath and pushed off, I felt the wheels of the skateboard rattling beneath my feet as I sailed down the ramp. I felt so nervous, it wasn’t because of the trick I was about to attempt. I’d jumped the rail many times and landed perfectly on my board. But this time Jessica was here with her friends, I really wanted to impress her with my skateboarding skills. I thought she was really c...

It was another boring Sunday, I had spent the whole day lazing around and watching tv. There was nothing much else to do, I decided to pick up my phone and have some fun with Siri. I liked trying to think up silly things to ask her. “Hey Siri, do you love me?” “I don’t know how to answer that.” “Hey Siri, How far is it from here to the nearest grocery store?” “I can’t tell you that, but I can tell...

As soon as I turned the corner into my street I noticed that something was wrong. The front door of my house was wide open. “Am I about to catch a burglar in the act?” My heart started beating ten to the dozen, I crept up the pathway to the front door, if there was an intruder inside I didn’t want to alert them to my presence. But when I went inside I was shocked to see there were at least a dozen...

As I opened my eyes, the first thing that hit me was the cold stone floor that I was laying on. I had no idea where I was or how I had got there. I sat up and looked around me, I realised I was in an alleyway, but I had no memory of how I had ended up there. My first instinct was to cry, but I knew that that wouldn’t help me, so instead I stood up and decided I would try to look for help somewhere...

Don’t you think it would be awesome to remember every single thing? To never, ever be able to forget anything? Well you’re wrong and by the time I finish my story you’ll understand why. Somehow I was born with the extraordinary ability to remember everything. I could talk before I was a one-year-old, and at first, everyone was obsessed with me. My parents boasted to everyone who’d listen and my tw...

On one of the most important days as a psychology student in college, I was running late, as always. I had been caught up painting my latest work in my dorm. I still had paint all over my hands, and I didn’t get the chance to change the dirty -shirt I had been wearing, but my classmates had probably seen me looking worse. At that moment I just needed to run. I burst in through the door and went st...

“It’s just not going to be the same without you here! I’m going to miss you so much!” My best friend Sally was going to live in Spain, virtually the other side of the world!  “You’ll still have Jack and Layla and we can talk every day!” “I know! But it won’t be the same as having you here.” “It won’t be forever, maybe you could come out to visit me in Spain?” I knew there was no chance of tha...

“Don’t worry, you guys will fit in fine,” our mom said as she dropped us off in the front of the school. My younger brother, Lucas and I looked at each other with a doubtful look. We waved goodbye. “Are you ready?” I asked. He nodded and I draped my arms casually over his shoulder as we walked through the gates of our new school together. As I sat in my first class, I could not help but notice how...

“Ha ha ha ha” “Why do you have to be so mean Amanda? You may be popular, you may have the perfect body and a beautiful face, but you have the mouth of a monster!!” “Ha ha ha ha” I was so shy when I first started at my school, I didn’t talk to anyone at all. I remember the first morning as though it was yesterday. I found my classroom and took a seat at the back of the room, I was trying to act as...

“I’m so sorry girls. Your grandfather passed away this morning.” my mom said with sadness in her eyes. Then she smiled. “Poppy, he left you his entire fortune! Do you know what that means?” “No mommy.” Poppy replied. She was only eight years old and didn’t really understand anything but dolls and whatever nonsense the kids were into those days. “You’re a billionaire!” “A what?” she replied. I roll...

I looked up from the tv show I was watching to see my sister Kate standing in front of me. She looked white as a sheet and was shaking, “What’s wrong?” “I..i..t’s G..g..grandma! She’s passed away!” “Ha ha ha! Good riddance!!” My family all looked at me in shock at my reaction. “Nick, what a terrible thing to say, how could you say such a thing?” “Grandma was a grumpy old woman who was never nice t...

I opened my eyes and looked around me, I had no idea where I was or how I even got there! It took me a few seconds to realise I was in a hospital room. Suddenly I sensed that I wasn’t alone. I looked to my left and saw a man standing there, looking at me. “Who are you?” “”I’m your father!” “What?” “Oh yeah, and you’re a billionaire too!” “WHAT?” I felt the cool water washing over my body, I wonder...

It was hard to open my eyes, I had been in such a deep sleep but something just didn’t feel right. I stretched out my arm to reach for my clock, but instead I felt a hard stone floor. I opened my eyes and blinked a few times before things came into focus. I sat bolt upright, I was in a bank vault and I was surrounded by money, lots of money! Suddenly I heard the sound of the vault door opening, I...

I woke up and looked around me, I had no idea where I was. Actually I had no idea who I was!! I felt panic rising up inside of me and wanted to scream, but I managed to suppress it. The door opened and a man wearing a white coat came into the room. “Hello Darren, how are you feeling?” I looked around me, there was no one else in the room, so he was obviously talking to me. “Is that who I am? Am I...

We followed Michael up the pathway to the front door, Michael tried to open the door but it was locked, “Maybe there’s another entrance around the back.” “Aaarrgh!!!” I looked at Layla, her face was white as a sheet and she was pointing to the floor. When I realised what she had seen I started screaming too! Red liquid that looked exactly like blood was seeping through the crack in the door. I tur...

“It’s my first day of senior high! Are you finally going to let me make some decisions of my own?” I asked my mom while she insisted that I take at least two servings of fruit and three servings of vegetables to school. She didn’t only control my diet – she controlled every single aspect of my life; the clothes I wore, the friends I let come over, the subjects I did at school and even my extracurr...

“What is up guys? Welcome back to my channel!” “Today I will be reviewing this new beauty product, Charisma. They were so kind to send me a bunch of products, and so I thought I’d try some out!” I am a famous youtuber, I have my own youtube channel with over five million subscribers. How did I get to this point? Well, let’s start at the beginning. When I was at school I had no friends at all, ever...

“Hey, Alyssa, where are you going in such a hurry,” a familiar voice called out to me. I spun around to see Crystal walking briskly to meet up with me. It was the first day of the new semester and I couldn’t help but feel very conscious about my attire. My shoes had holes in the toes, my clothing was washed out and my book bag was held together with a large, very noticeable, safety pin. I worked a...

“Men are trash. So at least get some trash with money. Don’t date any guy who isn’t rich.” my mom said for the millionth time as we ate our dinner one night. “Do you think that dad is trash?” I asked. She laughed. “Oh definitely.” “Doesn’t that make me half trash?” “Anyway, back to my point, Linda. These boys are nothing but stress. All they’re going to do is break your heart, lie to you and make...

“I don’t want this one! I want that one!” I screamed and pointed to the red dress that the other girl in the store tried on and was twirling in front of the mirror. I watched as Mom pulled out money from her purse and begged the woman to give her the dress. The girl’s mother took the money and the girl burst into tears. Mom collected the dress from the girl and I smiled as we walked towards the ca...

I walked up the familiar pathway of my parents house and knocked on the door. A few seconds later the door opened, “Who are you?” “I’m your daughter!” “What? We don’t have a daughter!” I have such fond memories of my school days, I never seemed to have a care in the world. I found school quite easy and sailed through all of my exams. I had lots of friends and my social life was hectic. But the bes...

I laid on my bed and tried to block out the sounds of my parents arguing in the room next door. But even the music I was playing wasn’t as loud as their raised voices. “You are so controlling! I can’t stand it!” “Well I wouldn’t have to control you if you weren’t so untrustworthy!” “What have I ever done to make you not trust me!” “Where do I begin?” “That’s it, I’m not going to take this anymore,...

“No! No! You don’t mean it!” “I’m sorry Jane, I can’t do this anymore! We’re over!” I had been dating Jane for about six months but lately we hadn’t been getting on very well and I wasn’t happy. I knew she wasn’t the one for me and it was only fair that I finished our relationship. “I’ll do anything you want, just tell me” Jane pleaded. “There’s nothing you can do, or say! I’ve made up my mind, we...

“You’re the most handsome little boy in the universe!” were words I heard my mother say almost every single day since I was born. I was the only child and I think that my mom got pregnant just after she married my dad. They never really had much time alone before I came along. My mom treated me like a little prince but my dad was never really affectionate. I remember waking up from a bad dream whe...

"Ohhhh my package arrived," I said joyfully as I signed off for my package and skipped to my bedroom. I’ve been waiting six whole weeks for this and I was soooo excited. The package was smaller than expected and when I opened it I understood why. It wasn't the package I expected!!! It was a picture of a woman with a child sitting on her lap. That child was me!!!! In the box was a note. “Your fathe...
