Short Story writen by: Jorge (17 years old)

On a faraway planet, far from our galaxy, there was a civilisation called “Trock”. The Trock were stronger than humans and had different colour skin. They were, red, green and blue, and had special powers.

At the time of this story, the “Trock” were being attacked by invaders called “The Kalk” who were very bad and cruel. They had been thrown out of their planet because of their behaviour and so they wanted to control Trock planet and dethrone King Philip.

So King Philip and his soldiers made a plan that, if it worked, would lay a perfect trap to catch the “Kalk”

But Ferkus suspected that something strange was going on. Continue reading…
