The Chicken, the Aunt and the Lighthouse

“Oi you sure you can fix this bloody lamp in 5 hours. Gee mate you’re off ya rocker!” Drumstick said doubtfully. He hopped on top of the light and kicked a piece of glass onto Ayden, who was fiddling around with his watch. “Have a little faith Drumstick,” Aunt Helga stroked his head and intently stared towards the gloomy, menacing ocean. The smoke had cleared leaving the remaining pieces of broken glass and wood scattered on the floor. They all looked up at the wide gaping hole left in the roof. Ayden asked in dismay, “So, what are we going to do now?”. Chapter 4 – Isabella Ong As they walked down the remainder of the light house, they both tried to decipher what had caused the light house to cave in. The stairs creaked slowly and without the light the fog was building. The view from the light house was barely visible at this point and the scenery was becoming increasingly distant. Looking off the side of the railing, the fall was incredibly long and basically no chance of survival. As they slowly walked down the spiralling staircase, they brainstormed what could be the possible reason for the accident. Both denying that it was either of them that caused it. Overtime, the anger between the two of them built and the volume increased. “This is your fault,” Aunt Helga said. “No, it’s yours, I didn’t do anything” Ayden replied. “This has NEVER happened before” Aunt Helga retaliated becoming annoyed with her scrawny nephew. “And…” he replied, about to continue before his Aunt exploded. “YOU DON’T KNOW HOW TO DO ANYTHING. AT ALL!” She yelled. “I KNOW HOW TO DO STUFF OK, I’M NOT AS USELESS AS YOU THINK I AM” he retorted in the same tone. “You have been sent here BECAUSE you are useless, you don’t know how to clean, cook or do anything, if you weren’t aware” making Ayden hesitate momentarily. From the sidelines, Drumstick smirked in glee. Serves them right he thought, after all this was where his ancestral background was from. Chickens from generations ago grew up here as well before it was taken over by humans. He had the right to be here and had to do his best to get rid of them. By them splitting up, he would be able to eliminate them one by one. Drumstick thought to himself, ‘I’ll take the old lady first, the boy couldn’t last a day by himself’. The arguing continued, each of them turned red in anger. Each of them becoming increasingly more irritable as they walked down the seemingly endless staircase in opposite directions. “OH MY GOD!” Aunt Helga yelled in expiration while storming out the lighthouse. Chapter 5 – Tristan Vasquez Helga angry, storms back into her destroyed lighthouse, thinking about what to do about her nephew. Through this mess, Drumstick appears behind Helga, wielding a cricket bat.

“Where did you get that?” Helga Questions. Suddenly, Drumstick swings and her.
