My Writing The Short Cut, Continuing The Story

The Short Cut 

Elliot's mum was concerned about taking the short cut because she was not familiar with it. But Elliot trusted the wise old bakery man so he pleaded his case and his mum finally agreed to take the short cut. They ventured on without a doubt. They took the back road just like the man said. Elliot's mum had a gut feeling that this wasn't right. The road was just dirt no houses to be seen. But they cant be concerned they trusted the old man, well at least they thought they did. He didn't warn us about anything, no slips no animals so it must be safe. They carried on down the mysterious dirt road and they could see a change in scenery.

 They caught a glimpse of a pine tree forest in the distance. They continued. The anxious feeling had now moved on. Elliot was gazing out the window at all the pretty pine trees. He wouldn't stop talking about how he could make tree houses in all of these trees. They came across these animals but the bakery man said there were none. “How could he lie to us”. Elliot exclaimed. The animal was an Elk “ They looked dangerous,” Elliot said. All of a sudden the most massive Elk came charging at our car. Fear took over their bodies. They were stunned, what could happen, so many thoughts were going on in there heads. The elk reached there car it came right up its front legs in the air. Smash right through the windscreen!

 Elliot's mum was in shock, she covered her face. There were ear piercing screams that vibrated around the car. Scrapes and bruises started to appear on both elliot and his mum. Their vision was blurry it looked like all the trees were closing in. Elliot's mum let go of the steering wheel, the car started going syco. Just as they snapped back to reality their car went tipping over the edge of the grand canyon. Shreakes of horror filled the canyon. This is it, it's all over. Their car landed and smashed into bits. Elliot and his mum only lived to see a giant elk charging at them. Eliot's life long dream had in a way came true.
