The Last Stand
Brayden Li-Kato, Group 1: Fiction, Harrow International School Hong Kong
nce upon a time you lived in a house in China with a garden and you even had a pool! You
bought lots of mystery plant seed packets and you ended up having lots of different seeds.
You saved the ones that said 'Explode' on them for emergencies and some had instructions
saying you have to plant them in water. So you did. On contact the seeds bloomed and here
are some of your plants: plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum.
You built a long wall at the speed of light stretching across the whole of China to protect the plants
from China's worst enemy: the Mongolian Zombies. They invaded people's houses to steal things.
Chinese plants were in danger every time because zombies always found a new plan to try. Zombies
stacked the ladders to make giant ladders to climb the wall. Well, but your wall kept the zombies out of
China for 75 years and over 9,000 Mongolian Zombies died. 80% of the zombies who died of falling
off the wall during the ladder climbing process were Giant Zombies. The other zombies died because
of 1 reason: ladders collapsing. Every zombie you killed was dumped into the garbage can.
O
You also had to battle your worst enemy: Dr Jiang Shi Zombie. Now the Mongolian Zombie team
only had: 250 Giant Zombies, 249 Giga-Giant Zombies and Dr Jiang Shi Zombie. The battle went on
for centuries and centuries. One day the scientist in China invented magic powder to make the plants
move like humans so that they can fight against the Mongolian Zombies. Only some plants like
chrysanthemum have been chosen for war and these plants have been given army helmets, guns and
swords. 89 Giant Zombies and Dr Jiang Shi Zombie died during the battle. The time has come
for the final battle and it led to a great victory with only 5 Giga-Giant Zombies left but one died when
he bumped into another Giga-Giant Zombie. Now only 4 Giga-Giant Zombies survived.
Giga-Giant Zombies are strong but the plants used helmets, guns and their poison power to kill 2
more Giga-Giant Zombies. So now the Mongolian Zombie team only has 2 left but 1 bumped into
another Giga-Giant Zombie and it roared, swayed and died. Now the end was to come. This last Giga-
Giant Zombie did not suffer damages so all the plants started to fire guns at him. This was no ordinary
Giga-Giant Zombie because it can survive 6,000 gun shots. In fact, while you were reading this story
you did not realize the Giga-Giant Zombie had been slashed with the sword that the chrysanthemum
coated the poison powder on. And it became so weak that it would die in three seconds: 3, 2, 1, 0!
People were cheering your plants saved China from Mongolian Zombies!
