They had about 13 bulls, 12 horses, 6 lambs and 9 pigs. One day the horses cut loose from the stables and knocked down a bit of the wooden pen that kept the angry bulls in. The angry bulls rushed around the large farm. Dylan and Nikita were just walking around the farm when one of their most angry bulls, Kane started charging towards them. Dylan and Nikita sprinted towards one of their electricity towers and began to climb. The bull stopped charging and started to walking toward the tower where Dylan Nikita were. The bull stopped and waited for a minute then got bored and walked away. Once Kane the bull was gone Dylan and Nikita quickly headed to the stables grabbed some from rope, found some horses that were on the loose and put all the bulls back in their pen before they could get off the farm. Dylan got some off the bulls in the pen and started to repair it before Nikita got back with the rest of the enraged bulls back to the pen. With a hammer and nails Dylan repaired the pen before Nikita got back with the rest of the bulls. The bulls are now safely in the pen and can’t cause anymore harm.

It was 2222, 22 years after the revolution. The one that had left the world destroyed. The country that had risen up after the ashes of war was Greenland. But they had renamed themselves “Minasourus” after the great mythical monster the Minotaur. They reason Greenland had the rest of the world under control was from a weapon they had called “Dog Whistle”. To punish the country’s for revoltingly they made this thing called the “Bull Games*”. In which every year the Dictator of Greenland Toby Sleeman chose to bad people to run into an area with a bull and climb up a pole without dying. That is the price we must pay for the revolution. “All hail Toby Sleeman”.
*Not related in any way to Hunger Games, I’ve never even heard of the Hunger Games. Okay I didn’t know what to call it okay.

As the portal closed behind me I was greeted bye a view of tall green mountains that somewhat looked familiar. Deep in thought I notice a medieval village in the distance on another island. It looked as though it stretched over the entire island. It had struck me, I had gone back in time to where the war against the romans hadn’t taken place yet. Im on Syndicate land. But from the timeline I came back from the Syndicate had all but evaporated after a fatal accident.
I swam to the Island and all the men saw me emerge from the sea. At first the thought I was a sea monster but then they thought I was a older version of their chief Tyson. They let out a gasp of surprise and took me to Tyson. As I entered the chief stopped playing around with his dagger and stabbed it into the side arm of his wooden throne on each side of him were Flynn, Walter, Dan, Jackson, Peter, James, John, Tim and Bobby. Tyson looked me In the eye and wanted an exclamation. I told him how I got here. Tyson was a faithful and intelligent man. His eyes grew wider and told me that he believes my story and only wants the safety of his tribe and to never meet the same fate that happened to me. Strangely this all revolved around Flynn’s death at the roman village. I walked outside the building to see a black bull staring me face to face. It charged and I ran up a poll. The bull circled the poll four a long time before getting bored and walked away. I jumped on the bull and next second we were galloping all around the village. The End

A short story
At the bull riding competition all participants must ride the angriest bulls, and when they get thrown off they must climb the pole to safety or die. This year a new champion has risen, and his name is Flynn Penhall.
His run started off strong as the bull did flips and jumped really high, just as he got thrown off Flynn did a 360 and landed on top of the pole. The next round it was Flynn vs Tyson. They both came out and Tyson fell off straight away, he ran to the pole and started to climb up. Tyson got to the top, then Flynn jumped off his bull and landed on top of Tyson, pushing him into the ground. The bull got captured and Tyson survived but Flynn still won.

We walk out the front door, out to the porch to find sand had blown off the beach onto the nice wooden planks that I had just painted with my new can of Dulux. Therefore I need to get the broom out to clean it… Instead Connor my eldest brother beats me to it.
“You know you should just wait for me because you know, I know EVERYTHING!” He says. I don’t know how to respond to this because this is definitely not the first time he has said it.
Once the genius himself had finished working, we decide to go on a bit of a journey around the surrounding neighbourhoods.
Once we leave Dungaberry by car we then get out and walk to the next suburb, Nexarry. By the time we get to the state school in Nexarry we had walked 3.4 km. We continue past the school watching the kids run around the playground during recess.
Once we exit the suburb of Nexarry we can see in one direction is the ocean, in another is the next suburb and straight ahead is the Great Frankis Desert. I choose to go towards the ocean to get a nice view… HOWEVER!
Connor doesn’t agree. This is also not out of the ordinary for him. We NEVER agree, even when he really wants to do what I choose to do he will go with another option. But this time I have to give in because we are siblings and we need to stay together.
We head north towards the desert… Well I say desert, but it really was a flat surface, filled with yellow sticks of hay. Not too many animals around hopefully!
We get to a point where everywhere we look is hay. Up ahead is a tall pole, which we decide to use as a landmark. We look around before I hear a loud, high pitched scream.
It was my brother… I had never heard him scream before but I knew it must have been bad. And it was… A BULL! We jump up onto a step on the pole, four to be exact. I was scared out of my skin and then I ask my brother, “Got any great ideas now genius?”

A short story
Slowly, the plane softly touched down on the runway. Minutes after touch down, Smith and Jill walked out the plane and into the Australian airport. They were planning to have a party that night with relatives. That evening, well after the party, they were settled into a hotel and deep asleep. They both woke to the sound of the alarm and got up. They called in room service and had breakfast. They both finished and got dressed, ready for the day ahead. The day will include a trip to the farm and a late dinner at the Noels caravan diner. So they both set off in a taxi with some guy named Kun.’ The trip took two and a half hours but it was an interesting trip. Kun had talked about some of his amazing stories of him driving of a cliff in a place called “Sandy Shores” and had survived.
Kun arrived at the farm and Smith and Jill hopped out. “Thankyou my friends, here is my phone number so call me again if you need. Thankyou come again! So Jill and smith payed Kun and started walking to towards a fence and climbed over. But what they didn’t know was that the area of land was owned to a bull. So they walked over and saw with not only fear, but Smith might have wet his pants with the sight of the horrifying beast. The bull had not seen them until Jill had landed on the ground. The bull came right at them and threw up Smith. Smith went up five metres and landed on his back. Jill had already started climbing up the pole. Smith got up and limped his way over and up the pole before the bull had hit again. Jill was safe but Smith was slowly sliding down. Closer and closer to the bull…

One horrible day, 2 freinds were out on tour of the city. Tourists obliviously. So, they, not knowing any better they went to the cow farm and decided they wanted to help the farmers out for some extra cash. One, Kim Jones was tasked with feeding the bull. She opened the gate and there stood the snarling bull. It was ready to charge. Kim was only a tourist so not knowing any better she began to throw the bull’s food in. The bull, had been having stomach troubles and he blamed the pesky little humans feeding him so taking one look at smiling Kim throwing in food, he charged. Kim took one look at the charging bull and dropped her food, screamed and started running. The other tourist, Luke heard his girlfriend screaming. He knew what to do. It was probably a mouse or something. So, he stepped out prepared to be a hero and was met with a giant bull. Letting out a very shrill girly yell he stood frozen. Kim, grabbed his hand and pulled him along, as he yelled. Soon, Luke got over his shock and began to run. The bull chased them, he was so much faster so by the time they started to through fields of hay the bull was right on their heels and finally Kim spotted a tall pole, “RUN! RUN FOR THE POLE!” They made it just in time and Kim scampered up the pole terfied she clung to it and Luke.

Finally, the farmer came and got the bull and brought it back to the farm, ashamed the tourists headed back home. Luke and Kim split up the next day. Oh, what, bulls do for relationships.

Short Story
One cold Winter day 2 people named John and Cena walked around their farm to look at all of their crops in hope that none had been destroyed in the coldest and windiest place in Alhammar! Alhammar is a small town around 200 kilometres out from Perth and every year there is a giant storm that rolls through the town for 4 days. But this year it was different all the animals had gone mad,attacking every vehicle the past John and Cena’s farm…
It was now 3 days through the dreaded storm and with the weather dying down every farmer in the town was counting up their losses due to the crazed animals and wet weather. John and Cena’s losses were huge,counting up to over 10,000 dollars! John and Cena didn’t have this type of money which was the usual for a small farm in a town that not many people knew about. They were stressed out, not knowing what to do to their farm they needed food and fresh water to live. The only option was to sell some of their animals other wise they would lose their beloved farm. John and Cena thought maybe 4 or 5 animals would be enough but the price range had gone down greatly and they wouldn’t even be able to get a tenth of the money they needed.

Once there was a farmer called John, His friends used to call him li’l John. It was one sunny morning and i walked out on the scorching red dirt path. In the distance ahead of me I saw what looked like a black bloodthirsty savage bull. It was running with great speed, I was watching the bull after every step. I evacuated my daughter and I and rushed over to a pole in the paddocks. We’re safe for now i said, the bull saw us with our legs dangling off the pole and rushed over to us. We waited for a solid hour up there and at last the bull had disappeared and we were safe. Unfortunately the bull had crushed our little supply of crops.

One day, two friends Tyrone and Brooke went to a bull race. They decided to do this at the start of the year and thought it would be fun. The event was starting in 1 hour and they were getting ready for the game to start. Then 1 hour later the game started. Their strategy was to run as fast as they could to the end but they soon realised that wouldn’t work. So they found a ladder and climbed up it. They waited for the bull to run past then they came down. They slowly went down the ladder and followed the bull. They followed the bull out into the open field and watched it look for people. Then suddenly the bull turned around and charged at the two friends. Tyrone spotted a pole that had ladder looking things on it. The two sprinted towards the pole and scrambled up it. The bull ran over but stopped as he saw them up the pole. They waited there for along time and the twos grip was getting weaker and weaker and eventually some bull experts came and caught the bull and took it away. Then Tyrone and Brooke climbed down the pole and walked to the finish line. They were obviously last as when the other contestants saw that the bull was distracted they ran as fast as they could to the finish line. When they made it over everyone congratulated them for staying up there for so long. They then walked over and got something to eat and they also went out to dinner that night for they could celebrate.

A Short Story
We were in the middle of the Simpson Desert. Me and Gertrude were looking for anything to help us survive in a desert. We found a strange looking pole, so we decided to walk over there. “Maybe someone is there, they might have some supply’s” said Gertrude.
“We don’t know, we might be able to survive another day in this desert” replied I.
As Gertrude and Frederick walked towards the pole and then they heard a grunt, Fred turned around and he saw a bull. “RUNNN!” screamed Gertrude. Fred and Gertrude ran as fast as they could towards the pole. Gertrude was the first one to climb up the pole, then followed by Fred.
The bull was smashing into the pole. Fred was the most scared. “Why is this bull trying to kill us?” Asked Gertrude.
“I don’t know” replied Fred. They didn’t know how they would do to distract the bull. “Maybe we can throw something at it?” Asked Fred.
“How about this rock?” Asked Gertrude.
“Yeah, throw the rock at it” replied Fred. Gertrude threw the rock at the bull’s nose.
The bull got angrier and knocked down the pole. Fred was the first one to get hit, then followed by Gertrude. Gertrude said that she broke her hand, but the only problem was the bull charging at them, but luckily someone stopped the bull with a tranquilliser. “Who are you?” Asked Fred.
