Despite initial
scepticism, entrants conjured up some
exceptional tales...in just twelve words.
Key Stage Two
The winner is Marcus
Tawil, with this chilling tale that creates drama, suspense and horror in this
finely crafted and economical piece:
The instant
she recognised his face she knew her life was over.
Runner-up
Miriam Frank-Petersen captures the sweet agony of first love between a highly
unlikely pair of protagonists:
A zombie can
still love. I´m different from all
others for you.
Key Stage
Three
An extremely
strong field here, but after much deliberation the winner is Julia Frank, with
this cheeky and highly personalised take on a sci-fi staple:
Lazy, rude
aliens invade Swans School—teachers do not notice any difference.
Second place
goes to Nacho Casado with an eerily simple yet very menacing tale that leaves
the reader with many more questions than answers:
She was my
love—I was always with her… until her disappearance.
Key Stage
Four
Girl power
exerted its influence over our Year 10 and 11 students, with winner Luca De
Jonge referencing romantic fiction and unconventional fairytale in her
intriguing winner:
She knew him
too well to just be friends. Marriage it
was.
And Imani
Tupper brought us all the freshness, fun and neuroticism of modern chick lit
with her peek into the protagonist´´s life:
She feels
stressed, depressed but not well dressed.
This is my life.
Great stuff from the Swans writers! This was not an easy challenge and yet again you exceeded all expectations. Certificates will be presented to the winners in assembly on Friday.
