One day, while sitting on a bench in the park, I heard leaves rustling behind me. It sounded like something big was walking towards me. I did not know what it was but I thought it might be an alligator. I am not scared of alligators but I knew they liked to sneak up and chomp on people so I turned around to look.
I saw a giant brown cockroach with bloody fangs moving slowly towards me. It was a giant, man-eating, zombie, vampire cockroach. It had red eyes and it was looking right at me. The cockroach was much bigger and scarier than any alligator. I got off the bench and backed away from the cockroach. I saw it grab my best friend, Nancy, and it swallowed her whole. It then ate the bench where I was sitting.
While it was chewing on the bench, I ran away as fast as I could and hid behind a tree. When the cockroach saw I was gone it flew into the air with its gigantic wings. It sounded like a helicopter as it flew around looking for me.
I ran to the store and got two big cans of bug spray and came back to the park. The cockroach was still hunting me but now I had a weapon and I stood right under it. The cockroach saw me and dove to eat me but I sprayed both cans at it and it crashed into the ground. The cockroach rolled on its back and was waving its legs very fast. I ran back to the store and brought back a chainsaw and I chopped it in half.
When I chopped the cockroach in half my friend Nancy ran out of its belly to safety. I called the animal patrol to take the dead cockroach away from the park. Nancy and I celebrated with a victory dance.
The End
Oh my!!!! What a hero Violette is in the story!!!! She is also a very gifted author and artist!
Thanks Sherry. Violette is a little old lady in a 6-year-old body. She has a great imagination. She asked to go to the public library this morning but they were closed so she decided to write a scary story instead. I guess it doesn’t get much scarier than a giant flying zombie vampire cockroach. I sat at the computer as she narrated the story. It was a pretty clever device for the cockroach to swallow Nancy so Violette could rescue her with a chainsaw. I wanted Violette to do most of the drawings but she asked me to help on a couple. She’s a riot.
What a fervent mind!! I loved it! And we ALL know that those man-eating, vampire, zombie giant cockroaches are way more scarier than alligators!
Violette has a wonderful imagination and she saved the day, she is adorable
