Saturday 27th October 2012,
                                Suddenly I awoke.  My mum had come to wake me up to go to my Nans.  I got up.  ‘’Breakfast is waiting on the banister’’ she called.  ‘Mmm’ Crumpets My favourite, I thought to myself. Quickly I got dressed, brushed my teeth and got in the car.  As we pulled out of the drive I noticed some people had put pumpkins in their windows, there was one house that had animal cut-outs on them, wolves, dragons, lizards and even a cow.
Twenty minutes later we arrived; there were some pumpkins in the houses on her street as well. I went inside, said hello, stroked Roxie, her dog, and plonked myself on the chair and played on my laptop for several hours.  ‘’Dinner...’’ She called, ‘’...I made your favourite, pasta bolognaise’’, It wasn’t my favourite.
                My cousin Andrew stumbled in, I wondered what he was in such a rush for.  He walked into the living room where I was, and shouted ‘’Guess what I just got us tickets & Back stage passes for’’,                           ‘’what!’’ I said excitedly, as my Nan and Roxie came in to see what all the fuss was about.                              ‘’Well you know that guy I told you about’’ he said, as my Nan lost interest and hobbled off to the kitchen.  ‘’You mean Thomas Lowe’’ I said as Roxie also lost interest and walked off to the kitchen. ‘’Yeah, well he’s got a premier in London tonight with his new time-lapse movie ‘Timescapes’ I can’t wait, can you?’’                      ‘’No, what time does it start’’                                                                                                                                             ‘’8pm it says on here, and I hired us a black limo to take us’’                                                                               ‘’Cool, that must of cost you a fortune’’                                                                                                                               ‘’well it would of, but I just won £500 on a scratch card and I’ve got 100 left, 50 for you and 50 for me’’ ‘’Thanks, that’s amazing’’
                The limo arrived.  Slowly I walked down the drive and said ‘’goodbye’’ to my Nan and climbed into the long black Shiny limo. Andrew was waiting for me inside. He handed me the tickets and the pass. Several hours had passed until we arrived at the premier. We put our passes on, as a short chubby man with thin grey hair, almost bald, and a little posh glasses opened the door. We stepped out onto the red velvet carpet and were bombarded with cameras; it was like we were in a night club with strobes everywhere. I took a deep breath and walked through the steel doors of the tall black building.  As we took our seats on the front row a lady walked past selling refreshments, I ordered two Pepsis two hot dogs and a large box of popcorn for us to share.  The lights dimmed. The bass rumbled. And The Picture Played.  Soft cheerful music played, as a tree in the middle of the desert was shot spinning around and around as the stars in the night sky twinkled, and comets soared across the sky creating a magnificent sight to see. The music changed this time camera focused on a large waterfall with rainbow upon rainbow halved submerged. It was the Best day of my life I would never forget it.

Not a real story but based on a real film.
Correct film now was wrong one.

Mountaineer reasearch

Everest, 1996

In 1996, Jon Krakauer climbed Everest for a magazine to find out how commercial expeditions were changing the mountain. On the day he reached the summit, he and other people from different magazines were caught in a storm and eight of them died.



This story is similar to Joe & Simons as they also got caught in a storm, although they did not die.
