Evangel College, Chong, Cavis - 11, Fiction: Group 3
hough we can change the time in stories, it is temporarily impossible to happen in reality. We must
treasure the time and try our best to conserve our “planet”.
In a city, there weren’t many human beings. There were five left and they were facing 2000 weird
creatures. Looks like, there would be a battle very soon as both sides were holding weapons. ‘We shall fight
until we die, attack!’ A teenager cried when running to some creatures, holding their swords. Five men ran
in the crowd of creatures their weapons and slew as many opponents as they could. However, two of them
died because of severe injury. After an intense battle, four teenagers were killed and their blood spilled over
everywhere as the creatures fired a lot of bullets towards them with a machine gun. At the same time, the
leader, an old man, escaped from the battle chaos. It seems like the creatures won the battle…
Chapter 1 pollution
In the year 2100, the air pollution became uncontrollable. However, everyone had just gone crazy; they do
not care about the environment. Why does everyone do things like this?
Chapter 2 The story
‘Huh!’ An old man sighed with sorrow and desperation. The old man had a long white beard and wore a
hat which usually possessed by wizards in tales. He also held a staff and a sword. Four teenagers walked
towards to the old man as they were curious with the old man’s action.
‘Ten years ago, some scientists and some high officials found a paper in a secret pathway. There were
some strange words on it and a map which describes Pearl River Delta. The officials immediately told the
scientist to analyse the paper as they were really curious. At first, scientists thought the map was ridiculous as
human beings did not find out anything special in Pearl River Delta for 6 Centuries.’
The old man said ‘Then, after the scientists decoded the strange words in Chinese with the help of some
linguists and a super computer. The paragraph told “Hidden power in the South China Sea. Find it, you
may invent something extraordinary.” Everyone did not expect that their ancestors could install the power
in the deep sea. However, humans were really weak creatures and they did not fight over their curiosity and
greed. They sent professional scuba divers to examine whether the paragraph is real or not. Though the
divers had explored for twelve hours, there was still no signal of the power. Just when they were going to
give up…’
The two teenagers sat down next to the storyteller and gazed at him, hoping he would continue his story.
The storyteller continued ‘A great light pillar got through rocks and went up to the surface of the sea.
Therefore, the power was located. From that time on, people kept inventing new technology as to get the
power and to break through the barriers that they have encountered. However, during the progress of
manufacturing new technology emits a large amount of greenhouse gases which may end up polluting the
environment. Until now, humans have only break through 13 levels, but the problem of the pollution is
deteriorating in the Delta. Humans in the Delta may face extinction if we did not evacuate the place in 6
months. I have travelled around the delta. I appreciated the wisdom of human. I love the beauty of their
traditional culture, scenic spots, monuments and the buildings. However, I still cannot stop things from
happening even if I have great power.’
The old man then turned around and stared at the listeners. He said ‘Do you wish to protect our
homeland? If yes, listen to my instructions, we may have a risk of death. However, we should sacrifice
ourselves and protect it in my opinion’ after the old man offered the teenagers to follow him, the teenagers
hesitated.
‘We cannot trust that old man though he looks like a wizard or a man who can predict the fortune!’ one of
them whispered.
However, the others did not agree and said together ‘Though the man is a stranger, he is still right. Our
delta may be destroyed by foreign forces, especially aliens! We must take this risk to protect our homeland.
We cannot sacrifice it!’
The teenager who did not want to participate in the action was successfully persuaded by the others after
discussion.
