My Story

Geoff And The Gold Mine

Clank clank. The rattle of the cart got louder and faster the heavier the load got. Geoff had been in the mine for about two hours and found about twenty KGs of gold. The funny thing was it was all lying on the sandy floor like someone had already mined it out and got scared away and dropped it all on their way out. He got into the mine because  his grandpa owned a big section of land that Geoff was staying on and he happened to find the mine a cart and a picaxe. Geoff went into the mine to see if he could find anything. He kept walking through the mine but now he was a bit anxious because he didn't know what left the gold, suddenly Geoff was encased in a thick layer of acid green gas. 

 Geoff woke up in a room made of solid rock, surrounding him was an army of masked men chanting “hey woko mye hey woko mye”, Geoff tried to scream but realised he couldn't scream he couldn't do anything but listen and breath. Geoff thought they must have put some sort of spell on him. Just when he thought it was the end his grandpa who owned the mine burst through a wall knocking over two of the masked figures and beating others with his shovel. Geoff’s grandpa who's name is Frank ran over to Geoff faster than Geoff thought an old man could run then Frank cut some ropes binding Geoff’s hands and legs that he never noticed were there. As soon as the ropes were cut, Geoff could move and speak again. Running fast, Geoff speed out of the cavern where he was kept.  

Frank and Geoff were not alone though the masked figures were following but they had taken their masks off and Geoff could see their faces but they weren't faces they looked like a big crinkled grey sheet with slits for eyes small triangle mouths with browny yellow teeth and no nose at all. When they got to the entrance of the cave Frank threw a piece of gold he picked up at the roof of the cave. Geoff ran out but Frank and the monsters with masks were crushed when the mine caved in. Geoff was devastated because Frank had died to save him. But there was still one mystery left what in the world were those ugly chanting creatures. Geoff still ponders on this question to this day.
