HKYWA 2014 Online Anthology (Fiction 1-2) - page 430

After riding their camels for what seemed like a long hour, a sandstorm hit and it was one of
Sand-di-man’s! It was coming from the south-east so they headed that direction. Once they were
there, they were confused as nothing was there! They got off their camels and looked around,
still nothing.
Suddenly, a hole started opening up. Alison and Katy stared in amazement while Tiffany
started taking a few steps closer. Alison and Katy started following her.
“Do you think that’s the Desertifyer 3000?” Alison asked Katy.
“What do you think?” replied Katy with some sarcasm in her voice. Then the gigantic machine
generated another sandstorm. When it was going back in the hole, the girls jumped down with it.
Down under was the lair, it was quite magnificent. They examined the place till they found
Sand-di-man. He looked weird, sort of like a cross between an alien and a camel.
“I see that you have come to stop me. But you are just a measly group of girls. Haha!” said
San-di-man before he darted off. But the girls caught him. He gave a whack to Alison and a kick
to Katy. Luckily they dodged it but only by that much. He was slippery. He escaped their grasp,
but not without a punch from Alison. The girls needed also to stop the machine, so they went
up to where the Desertifier 3000 was, and also found Sand-di-man again. They were throwing
kicks and punches left and right but were still missing. Then, when Sand-di-man was walking
backwards to get away from Tiffany, he tripped over the wire connecting the plug to the machine.
But when she kicked him, she still missed. Katy accidentally pressed the button to bring the girls
and Sand-di-man up. Now they were up high, Sand-di-man was starting to get a little scared and
jumped over the edge. He was all right and escaped. Now their problem was the Desertifier 3000.
They were trying to break the machine but the screws were too tight. Fortunately, they had
bought the right tools. They worked so fast that they did something wrong and the machine
started making sparks. The girls jumped off the machine as fast as they could.
“BOOM!” went the machine as it exploded.
“That was well taken care of,” said Tiffany.
As they returned to the village, the villagers were happy. They only had a few bruises on them.
When they returned to Hong Kong, Jeff congratulated them on a job well done. Everything
was fine, until Sand-di-man strikes again!
