Santa I Want

Santa, I want a killer shark but one that breathes in air and fitted with some roller skates to get from here to there. Armed with a sub machine gun and grenades and all that stuff 'coz John next door he bullies me and I've about had enough. For contest 'Dear Santa I want', sponsor Kevin Shaw

Congrats on your win, Viv! Captured beautifully through children's eyes, joyful yet sorrowful bullying starts so young! Captivating creative write, I enjoyed reading :)

Thanks, Melissa, sadly you're right, bullying and controlling does start young, and not always nipped in the bud in time. Viv x

EXCELLENT. I love how you did it and made it sound just like how a young boy would write it!

I think as kids we all had those little 'weapons of mass destruction' moments with someone, or maybe just wanting a tree to fall on them, like in a Warner brothers cartoon. Thanks for dropping by, Andrea,Viv x

Thanks Arthur yes, when I was at junior school a lad picked on me and my pal until one winters day when he was wrestling my buddy to the ground, I lifted a slab of ice out of a puddle the size of a dinner plate and smashed him over the head with it. That did the trick. regards, Viv
