10 Minute Stories

10 Minute Story

I had only 10 minutes to finish the story. I had to write quickly. I wrote as fast as could. It felt like my hand was going to fall off. Our teacher had given us homework, which I had completely forgotten to do. He had told us that if we didn’t get it finished on time, we were not allowed to go on the school ski trip. My friend reminded me with just 10 minutes to spare. I grabbed a piece of paper and began to write. I was panicking, I had no idea what to write. I just wrote. I wasn’t even sure I was even making any sense. The teacher said it had to be a story about something that happened to us. I wrote:
“I like pizza. I ate pizza.”
This was not going to cut it with the teacher. He would realize that I hadn’t really done my homework. There was 8 minutes left. I wrote:
“I like pizza because once there was a magical pizza in my life.”
This was better, but seemed very strange. The teacher would still know. I had to make it interesting and believable. I wrote:
“Once when I was very young , I had an essay to write for school. Also, I had test to write. I did the essay, but didn’t have time to study for the test. In the morning, I had pizza for breakfast. It was a magic pizza. When I got to school, some of the bigger and dumber kids threatened to beat me up, if I didn’t give them the essay. They hadn’t done their homework. Luckily, I had eaten the magic pizza. The magic pizza made my stomach twist and turn. As the bullies were pushing me around, I could feel something move. It was the magical pizza.”
There was only 2 minutes left. The teacher was coming. I wrote:
“The boys shook me more. The magic pizza began to do its magic. It jumped and bumped. Then it leaped out of body. The magic pizza had landed all over the bullies. They stopped pushing me and run away. It was magic.”
Only one minute was left: I wrote:
“The magic pizza had saved me. Also, I didn’t have to write the test. So I happily went home.”
The teacher had walked in as I was writing and saw that I hadn’t finished. I wrote at the bottom of the page:
“I wish I had some more magic pizza now. THE END”
