Narrative

Hey guys today i will be talking to you about my narrative. So for our narrative we had to write a story that is a narrative but also relates to our PBL. So Here's my narrative writing plan.
And here's my narrative:
Story
There I was walking home from another long day of work. It was finally a long lasting weekend again. It was a quiet night which was very peculiar. Usually there would be the whole city out at night. Especially on Fridays. As I was walking along the harbour. I noticed a ship going out with a pile of rubbish. That was usual to see but if you were in my situation you would see that there was a lot more rubbish than usual. I watched go out for a bit to the sea. Then I noticed that it said on the back of the ship ‘MAX 180 KG’. I could see that it was way over the max because there was a huge mountain of rubbish! There was an astonished look upon my face as my heart just wants to give up like there was no room for me anymore. Even though it would have been over max limit they kept on adding more and more rubbish! It was the worst sight anyone can see! They kept on putting more rubbish in and each time they out in more it got more and more unstable! I got very anxious about the boat. It looked like it was about to tip over! I pulled out my notepad and started to write every idea that came to my head. I wrote: Water filtering, eco -friendly rubbish plot, eco-friendly plastic, anti pollution robots. I was going to write more but I guess I just have writers block! My heart was pounding non-stop then I stopped. My pencil feel out of my hand like it was rain falling from the sky. I looked back up at the ship. I immediately stepped all the way back until I felt my back hit a stonewall. Then….. BOOM! It happened I knew it. There was a mini tsunami right where I was standing! Little raindrops of water went all along the waterfront. After that I realised that I didn't want to be near the scene of action. So I scrambled myself away. 

The next day I woke up and I could smell something horrid. I looked out my window and saw rubbish everywhere on the city below. I leaped out of bed straight away and ran out the door. When I stepped outside I immediately had to cover my nose. I looked as far as I could see and all I saw was rubbish and rubbish and more rubbish. I stood there shocked for a few minutes. Then I shook out of it and got a cab. As I was in the cab I pulled out my phone and started to ring up all the people I needed for something like this. When I arrived at my office I zoomed out of the car and past the reception desk. I was about to run into my office to grab a few files. On my way back downstairs I bumped into Stacy (my assistant).
 I asked her “Did you call them?”
She replied “Yes I did don’t worry”
“Ok good. When will they get here?”
“About 10:00”
“Ok good” I shouted as I sprinted off down the stairs.
When I got downstairs I immediately got to work. If you were Stacy upstairs you would probably just here rummaging, bolts falling against metal and draws opening and slamming shut. When I finished making my laboratory a mess. It was finally 10:30 I ran out back to the loading station.

When I got back inside and everything was where I needed it, I started to run around crazy like a psycho! I pulled out a few different sized circuit boards and started to use the soldering iron to solder the circuits together. If you were on the 1st or 2nd floor all you would hear coming from the basement was ZZZZZZZ CRASH SLAM BOOM! Finally a couple of hours later I was done. I checked the time and collapsed on the break room couch. It was 11:23 PM. I was dead. My legs felt jelly wobbling on a plate. As my arms though they felt like burning hot logs slowly crimping and sparking away. Before I knew it, I was out of it, snoring my head off and dreaming about soft gentle puffy cloudy sheep. Even thinking about when i’m not asleep makes me wanna go to sleep! I was still half asleep when BANG!  Stacy just got in and slammed the door to wake me up. I fell off the couch onto the freezing ice cold tiles! I looked up at her and said annoyed
“What time is it?”
She replied “10:03 AM”   
I yawned “Oh ok not that bad”
“Well actually yes i've been trying to call you to tell you that the mayor is going to be here in 7 minutes.”
The minute she said that one sentence I nearly collapsed with panic.
“W-What?! I need to get the prototypes ready stat! Oh yeah and can you make sure that the presentation I made is ready in the conference room.” I panicky said. 
As I ran off I shouted “Don’t forget the coffee and tea!”

By the time I got down to the lab it was already 10:07! I only had 3 more minutes to get everything back to level 2. I grabbed the prototype and stuffed everything else in a box. I ran up to the elevator and stuffed everything and pressed the button to the second floor. I pulled out my phone and texted Stacy. It said ‘Hey I put some things in the elevator can you grab them and put them in the conference room?’. After I did this I grabbed the rest of my presentation things and ran to the elevator. By the time I got up to level 2 it was 10:10! I dumped the box on the ground and said to stacy “You know where to put these. I’ll go down and greet the mayor.”
When I was in the elevator I was trying to spruce yourself up. I was using my hands as a hairbrush as I tied it up. I was fixing my clothes and making myself look presentable. By the time I got down to level 1 I raced out of the elevator and stood at the front door as I saw the mayor's car roll up. As the mayor get out of the car he shouted to the driver “GET OUT HERE AND HELP OR ELSE YOUR FIRED!”
Driver jumped out of the car as fast as he could and ran to the mayors door to open it for him and help him get out of the car. He pulled on the mayors hands until he flowed out of the car. The minute he got out of the car I ran to him and greeted him shaking his hand saying “Hello mayor bourgeois thank you for coming today.”
“Well if it’s going to get my city up and running again” He said with a strict voice and a strict face. I smiled at him nervously as I led him to the elevator. I was surprised he even fit in the elevator he was a very VERY VERY big person. His big red tie was hanging off his round ball like stomach like a monkey on a vine. Whenever he walked he waddled Like a penguin trying to get into the raft. 

About an hour later the meeting was finished and the mayor was waddling away into his car. It was hard to persuade him but we got to let the robots out into the city. The next day the factory was done making the robots. So then I decided that I could finally have my break. As I was walking back along the waterfront I was very pleased to see my own creation, helping my planet. I felt like singing and skipping along back home. The minute I got home I was so tired  I immediately fell asleep. The next day I woke up and I Got into my sports clothes and decided to go for a walk. Yet again my beautiful creations are working a charm. When I stepped out of the apartment building I took a deep breath 
“Ahhhh”
I said to myself with joy.This was the most beautiful and fresh air I’ve breathed  in years. I stood there at the rail of the waterfront watching the robots flying around cleaning up everything. It was quite satisfying to watch. Them just flying around easily over the water sucking up all the pieces of rubbish the detect. I was standing there watching them when I noticed something weird about them. Sometimes when they sucked up a bit of rubbish them let out a little puff of smoke. It got me very confused but it clear wite smoke so I just left it. But there was this one robot that kept on falling a bit when it flew but again I left it. After my walk I got ready for work. 

By the time I arrived at work it was only 8:47. Because it was so early, I decided to go and get some coffee across the  road. I was sitting there drinking my coffee when I remembered there's a school trip coming today! I checked my calendar and it said that they were coming at 9:00AM and it was already 8:55AM. Huh this is not my week for times. I grab my coffee and run across the road again to get everything ready for the field trip. Stacy was sitting there at reception and I told her to
“Make sure that you keep the kids away from the chemicals that’s being stored in the lab. Oh yeah and make sure they don’t touch anything down there while your in there.”
“Ok I’ll keep everything under control” She replied. 
I then calmed down and walked away to the lab. When I got down to the lab I started to think about how the robots were acting weird. I decided to do some research on it and test out some new technology. I was sitting there testing new technology to dee if I could improve the robots. Then an amazing idea came to me. I looked across the room saw it. A piece of technology that could help the other robots and give me something interesting to do. I ran over and grabbed it I placed it back down on the bench where I was sitting before. Then I ran back over to get some other things, and started to make a racket once again. 

When the school kids arrived I could hear them chattering as loud as a pack of bison stampeding through a ravine in the safari. All I heard was their teacher trying to get control of them and get them to quiet down. and listen to Stacy. By the time the class got down to the lab I was just starting to get the actuators ready for assembling it. I could hear the sound of hard school shoes slamming against the cold concrete ground. They were coming. The lab was large but not large enough for a whole fistful of kids wanting to interfere. As much as I dislike children I still have to do my job and teach them the importance of science. I do enjoy explaining about my lab and trying to manipulate them to want to be a scientist. It makes me happy and forget about what type of species I’m teaching. Little people with their slimy greasy hands trying to reach out and touch every shiny thing they can see. But it does make me happy as I can be about my job. It brings me back to when I first stepped foot in my father's lab. Of course he didn’t want me to touch anything because I was one of those little people then. Anyway, as I was explaining to them I actually ended up getting some good ideas off of them. 

When I was about to give them the activity that they had to do, everyone gasped. There was a big BOOM. Everyone rushed out to the stairs. When we got up to level 2 all we saw was cars flipped out over, all along the road. We stood there stunned as we saw people running for their lives as cars crashed down from the skies. The teacher of the class Mr.Dirk tried to get all of the kids to safety. While me and Stacy stood there, out minds boggled of how this could be happening. I said to Stacy “ I’m going out there to see what ‘s happening”
She looked at me astonished and said “ What?! You can’t go out there you’ll be smashed into a million teeny tiny pieces.”
I rolled my eyes at her and headed for the door. I opened the door so there was a tiny crack, and I checked if there was any more cars coming down from the skies. But there was none so I ran out as fast as I could. When I got outside far enough I started to look around. I looked up at the sky and there was no sign of cars falling. So I ran down the road a bit more to where the harbour is. All the robots were gone! They weren't cleaning up anymore they were flying around the city loose! I had to do something. I had to figure out who was throwing all of the cars, and I had to figure out where the robots are! I started to run towards the city when another car crashed down. But this one crashed down right infront of me! I immediately looked up and I saw two robots holding another car ready to throw it down on top of me! I started running as fast as I could to the nearest alleyway. When I got into the dark alleyway, I looked back at the streets and there were my own creations. I couldn't go back on the streets they would see me, and plus there waiting for me with that car. 

I was standing there stressed out with what to do. Then I noticed a fire escape that was leading up to  the building that was right next to my work! I grabbed the fire escape and pulled it down to my feet, and started to climb like I was a firefighter ready to jump into action. When I got to the first floor window I pulled with all my might to open it and it opened! I thought it was gonna be hard. Anyway when I was inside I saw another door that would lead to another fire escape but where my building was. I immediately ran for it. I pulled the door open, and ran all the way to the other end of the room. I stood there jiggling the window trying to open it. My Heart was beating so fast it felt like it was going to burn my skin and fall out of my chest! I pulled it up and nothing happened. I stepped back about ten steps, breathed in deeply and got into a running stance. I pointed my eyes right at the center of the window. I took another deep breath and sprinted at the door. I threw myself at the window, and my calculations were correct! See it does have bonuses of being a scientist. When I ran into it I hit the support beam which smashed because the wood was rotting. I stood there congratulating myself. Then I snapped out of it and climbed through the broken window frame. I looked down and there was a long way back down. It looked way more higher than the other side of the building. By the time I would have gotten back to the pavement then the robots would of extinct half of the humans in the city! I looked across to my building, I eyed out how long of a jump it was to the other fire escape. It was only about  two or three meters. I stepped back against the cold brick wall and closed my eyes. I imagined the same surrounding I was in but in my head and did my measuring to how I could make the jump. I opened my eyes determined that what I what I was about to do I was ready for. I leaped up and put my foot down on the edge of rail right next to the steps. As that foot was coming off of the rail I put my right foot on the middle of the main rail and pushed my legs as far as possible until I couldn’t feel the railing anymore. As I was in mid air I reached out as far as I could, and when I could I grabbed onto the rail on the staircase on the other building. I was still standing there with my feet on the edge of the rail and my right hand clutching onto the rail like it was holding my life in it! 

When I snapped out of the fear of me falling, I climbed down. I opened the fire escape door into the building. I ran in and looked down the spiral stairs Stacy was there and I saw her putting on a bunch of gear. She was putting on a big red jacket, a bag full of survival stuff. There was more that she was grabbing but I couldn't figure out what they were. I ran down the stairs and said 
“Stacy Stacy what are you doing?”
She turned around with a frightening look upon her face. She looked at me and slowly said
“I thought you were dead… Where have you been? We have to escape there here”
I looked at her astonished. She would never be like this she would never ever make up something like this. So I believed her. I nodded and started to grab all of the things that I saw lying on the ground. I looked at her and she was breathing heavily with her eyes wide open  and her arms moving like lighting as they reached down and stacking things on top of each other. By the time we were done her arms were dripping with sweat and they were also full of everything she could manage to carry. We then stuffed everything into the elevator, she looked at me and said “i’ll go down and see if it’s clear.” I looked at her with sadness and was about to start an argument, but before I could she was gone. About ten minutes later I started to get worried and realised what could of happened. I immediately felt a stream of energy through my veins and ran down the stairs. I looked through the window in the door, and all there was was killer robots. Where they had screens that was supposed to be there happy smiling faces was actually now angry red hot faces. I stopped staring ad ran back up the stairs I had to get out of the building as fast as I could. I was about to run out the back door into the alleyway. Then I heard a “shhh” coming from under the reception desk I slid my hand out from under the door handle and looked under the desk. There were to little squirmy children under it! I was about to talk to them and question them then I heard the sound of hovering. I saw their mouths open. I put my hands out straight away and covered their mouths. I looked out and saw floating shadows coming out of the hallway. I looked at them and put my index finger over my mouth to indicate to them to keep quiet. I looked around the corner again and I saw even more floating shadows then before. I grabbed them both by the arms and helped them out from under the desk. I opened the back door as quiet;y as I can then pointed for them to go out. 

When we were out in the alleyway I panted “You can talk now but still be quite” 
The boy said quietly with a panicking voice “ I’m Alex and this is Amy. We were in the field trip but when Mr.Dirk was trying to get everyone out we got lost and hid in the closest place we could find.”
I looked at them both confused. I heard a twig snap and immediately looked up there was standing there a tall man. It was there teacher Mr.Dirk! I looked around some more and said to him “Anymore your hiding?” He looked at me and shook his head. I looked at everybody and siad “This is as far as we can go for now. There all crawling along the streets well actually floating along the streets. But still anything you see here in this alleyway use it.” They all looked at me and nodded. It was about 9:00 PM. so we decided to get some shuteye. In the middle of the night I wake up to a noise. I looked around and saw Alex and Amy alseep a let some relief out. Then i looked across and Mr.Dirk was gone! I jumped up immediately and ran out to look around the corner at the road. I saw a tall man in the distance walking down the road humming. It was the exact same figure as Mr.Dirk. but before I could go and drag him back to the alley a robot came along and took him. I stood there for a minute to take some peace and quiet in honor of him. I went back to sleep sad and stressed. When I woke up in the morning Alex kept on asking about Mr.Dirk I just gave him the look and he immediately knew. I had another look around the corner at the streets. I think that there was nonone left at all. Jut Alex, Amy and me. 

As days past we just stayed in the one alleyway not moving our new home anywhere. If we were really desperate for food I would sneak into the staff kitchn in the building. But so far I've only done that once. One night I was asleep all snug in my trash bag sleeping bag. Even though i’m so snug as a bug I am still; very alarmed. I heard a noise coming from the street I immediately jumped up and ran to peek around the corner, I didn't even check to see if the kids were there. There was a figure wa;king down the street it looked just like Amy. She was humming. As I was watching I couldn't move to go and get her. I just kept on getting deja vu. I stood there knowing what was about to happen but i couldn't move a muscle. I don't know how but I was paralyzed. I stood there still about to cry as I saw the robot swooping down from the night sky above. As it took away the poor little innocent girl, I Kept on trying to move and run to her. But it was hopeless the moment I started to move, she was gone. I walked back to find Alex asleep in his bed not having any clue of what happened to his sister. I felt a tear run down my cheek like a little stream. I fell asleep crying myself to sleep. In the morning I gave him the same look and he looked so angry but also really sad. Since then we lived in silence. It was the same routine over and over again. As the next couple of months past we slowly started to talk very quietly. One day we were both about to give up and hand ourselves in. but we didn't. One night I was asleep and once again I heard a noise. As alarmed as I was I got up and ran. I did the same as I always did peep around the corner and spie. The minute I saw a shadow that was shaped like Alex I tried to move but I was paralyzed. I gave up struggling. I just had to let him go.  

As the days passed I got lonely and lonelier. But then I had a plan. I realised that there is a part in one of the robots the leader. If i get that part then I can save the world! I didn't even bother to take anything I ran straight into the building. I went down to the lab and burst in. The minute I was a foot in the door all the robots were facing me. The leader was in the middle. I was so close but so far. I was about to grab a wrench and throw it at him but it was too late. I was gone. I guess that i was in heaven. Well I must be everything was white for a while then I saw everyone else. Stacy, Mr.Dirk, Alexex, and Amy. Well there's only one more thing I can say. We will all end up killing ourselves one day even when we think we’re doing something to help we’re not though. So think before you do anything that has to do with our world or our future. Well bye.

THE END.
Anyway that's all fot today bye!!
