Egyptian adventure

It all started off when a young boy who wanted a little adventure in

his dull, boring life set out to Egypt. The boy’s name was John.

When he reached the border of Egypt. “There” he thought “is the

land of Pharos, pyramids and mysteries. John went to the town of

Cairo where he heard there was a trip to find the lost tomb of

Amenhotep III or something like that. Later on his way back from

buying some food and other supplies, he glimpsed a run-down

poster out of the corner of his eye. Quickly he ran towards it.

“Hurry up and join us now!

Trip to find the lost treasure of Tutankhamun!

Meet up point: The old market

Date: 24th of January

Time: 12:00pm”

“Wait a minute” John said “that’s today!” John glanced at his watch

which read 11:50am Hastily John packed his things and slung his

back pack over his shoulder. Then he darted his way over to the old

market. Unfortunately for him by the time he reached there it was

too late. The group had left without him…

Sadly John trudged back to his temporary home. On his way back

the wind brought to him another poster. This one read

“Hurry up and join us now!

Trip to find the lost tomb of Tutankhamun!

Meet up point: The museum of Pharos

Date: 24th of January

Time: 12:30pm”

John was not going to let this opportunity go to waste. Instead of

running. He hired a taxi and asked the driver to take him to the

museum. When they arrived John quickly fished some money out

of his rucksack, handed it to the driver and ran like the wind up the

stairs. “Keep the change” he yelled as he ran.

Panting and sweating John arrived at the museum. He found the tour group
and joined them. He then shoved and pushed his way to the front, where he

heard the leader say

“Ladies and gentlemen. We are gathered here to go on an adventure. You

must be brave. We are going to go and find the lost tomb of Tutankhamun.

The trip will take days and we will be out in the scorching, dry, barren desert.

If we do manage to find the tomb of Tutankhamen, I must say almost nothing

but death awaits. It will probably be full of dangerous traps which will kill you

painfully. On a more positive note, if it is the tomb of Tutankhamen it will be

full of treasure and priceless artefacts which we will be distributed evenly

amongst the group. I will tell you once before we leave. If any of you want to

abandon this tour do it now.”

At least half off the group trudged off scared of the danger which lay ahead.

The rest of them (including john) followed the leader, who was already

heading to the other exit. John thought to himself nervously if he seriously

wanted to do this…



Outside a bus was waiting. As soon as they all were seated the bus lurched

forward. John looked behind me and saw the city of Cairo shrink away. John

was finally going on an adventure. As he peered out the window and absent-

mindedly stared at the sand dunes. He thought to himself about what was

going to happen next…



After an hour or so John noticed something strange jutting out of one of the

sand dunes. He swiftly alerted the leader who stopped the bus immediately.

They all jumped of the bus and started following him to where he noticed

something unusual. When he pointed out the piece rock the instructor

gasped. He stood there for at least five seconds before exclaiming “You’ve

done it! You’ve found the tomb of Tutankhamen!” he zoomed back into the

bus and brought a machine which looked like a leaf- blower. “Yay!” someone

shouted. “We only have to wait 100 years before we blow all the sand away.”

The Leader then furiously replied “Whoever said that is stupid. Of course it

would take forever with a leaf- blower, but I’ve added a turbo – engine to this

one so it blows much faster. Everyone stand back!”

Then without another word he cranked the dial to max and a violent jet of air

came out and cleared the entrance in seconds. “This is it!” he bellowed “turn

back now while you can. Or if you’re brave enough follow me” some people

cracked under the pressure and headed back to Cairo in the bus. John and

the other few people followed the leader down the dark, gloomy tunnel…




Inside the tunnel it was pitch black. The leader quickly ignited a torch and

John noticed the other torches along the wall. He called out for the torch

which was swiftly handed to him, he then lighted one of the torches and

almost magically all the rest lit up. John took the lead as they continued

down the dusty cracked tunnel.

Suddenly John noticed a group of tiles on the floor. Unfortunately before he

could call out someone stepped on the tile. Then a volley of poisoned darts

flew out from a secret hole in the wall. The darts landed in four people’s

bodies. They all died screaming with pain. Everyone was now petrified.

John studied each and every tile carefully and then realised there was mini

Egyptian hieroglyphics on each one. (If you don’t know what hieroglyphics

are let me tell you. They are Egyptian symbols which represent a

language). The leader came to the front and read the symbols. Each row

said animals’ names. On one row it read cheetah, dog and bird. On the next

it read giraffe, rhino and lion.




John thought about this puzzle for a long time. Then a concept originated

inside his head “there is always one member of the cat family.” He took off

his shoe and carefully dropped on the tile which read cheetah. Then he

leaped backwards. All of the group waited a couple of seconds but nothing

happened. “Phew!” John whispered. He wore his shoe and commanded

that everyone should follow him. Step by step they crossed the corridor.

When they finally crossed the trap they arrived in a small room with no way

out. Confused the remaining tomb raiders looked at John and the leader

suddenly the entrance sealed by itself. Then the walls started closing

in. They were going to be squished to death…

John shouted “Everyone remain calm. Try and find some kind of secret

exit.” Two people were pushing against the walls trying to stop them from

bringing death. Unfortunately their efforts were in vain. The leader suddenly

pressed against a tile which sunk in. A tunnel suddenly appeared out of

nowhere, but the walls did not stop squeezing. John and the leader were

the first ones out swiftly followed by most of the group, however two people

were trapped. They both cried “go on without us!”

The group now only consisted of five people. The final five wandered down

one corridor. The leader said the treasure room is just beneath us.

Suddenly one person tripped over a tripwire. A huge rumbling sound was

heard behind them. They all glanced back to see a huge boulder hurtling

towards them. They all started running.



The boulder was catching up with them quickly. They zoomed down stairs

only to find a massive gap waiting for them. “Jump!” John cried. Only John

and the leader made. The rest of the group fell down into the darkness

followed by the boulder.



Finally John and the leader entered the treasure room. Inside lay mountains

of gold and other precious stones. In the middle of the room lay two golden

crown. They left the room rich. The End!

FIFA 17





Yes. Another FIFA game.







FIFA 17 is the latest version of the FIFA games


for the PS4, XBOX and other console platforms. There


has been many reviews and articles about FIFA 17 as


well as it’s advantages and disadvantages. Let’s get


started.






ADVANTAGES. First off, the improved


animations from the previous game, FIFA 16. This


time, the animators had increased in artistic skill and


made the animations look more life-like as if your


favourite football stars actually recorded the whole


gameplay. Next, the stunning light and presentation.



Now this is a very important thing when it comes to


games with stunning animation. As most of us know,


awesome animations need stunning lighting and


presentation in order to have an AWESOME GAME!

Here's an



example of a


character's



visual



quality>>>

DISADVANTAGES. Although the quality of the visual



design has really improved from the last game, the


gameplay has not improved a whole lot. For example,


when you are in defense mode, the controls for the


defending is still tricky and hard for players. This


would result in you losing to the other team. Next


would be that there is still really complicated controls


for the whole game. I myself do not know about the


gameplay, but I do know that the controls are


complicated. Just like the exams if you didn’t study for


it.

Tattletail
















A FURBY PARODY









Imagine that you were a kid in 1998, that would mean


that you have a very good chance of receiving a Furby for


Christmas. Or in this case, a Tattletail. Which is basically a type


of Furby in the 90’s. You are deathly afraid of Tattletail,


probably because it somehow went off in the middle of the


night, walking around and asking you to take care of it like a


real life pet.






The player would find their Christmas gift and open it



early, only for it to start yapping and go looking for trouble. If


that wasn’t enough trouble, the Mama Tattletail that was said


to be SOLD OUT on the trailer would be wandering around,


looking for blood, and you look like the perfect target on each


five nights before Christmas.

tattletail is


available on



steam for SR



17

The main objective of the game is to wake up


every midnight for five nights in a row before Christmas to


take care and play with your Christmas present. Tattletail.


Although you have to take care and play with it,


someone else wants to join the fun as well. Who doesn’t


like a bundle of scares before Christmas? But be careful


because MAMA IS COMING ~

Bullying Stops Here!









Throughout the 6th and 7th grade a fellow peer or even myself would get

bullied. In my former school situated in Islamabad, a boy ("A") would get

bullied both verbally and physically. "A" was oppressed on account of his

petite stature. No one knew what a difficult position he was in, "A" was

affected both emotionally, and this distracted him from his main priorities. "A"

persuaded his parents to allow him to transfer schools. Seeing that his
academic performance was slowly plummeting, they agreed, with no

questions asked. For a week "A" had been absent which was peculiar as he

was rarely absent or tardy. Two days later, I caught a glimpse of a meeting

taking place in the principal’s office. "A" was crying and was explaining to the

principal that he was transferring schools due to bullying. The principal dealt

with the matter awfully casually which was never followed by any serious

action. "A" had left.

In 7th grade, I too was bullied for having shorter hair than usual. I donated 12

inches of my hair to cancer patients after which at school, students in the 9th
and 10th grade called me, "bald" and said that I needed a hair transplant. I


took these comments lightly but I realized how "A" felt he had no one to
discuss how he felt with, and had to continuously suppress his emotions. As

the school didn't seem to be making much of an impact anyhow, I formed a

student body known as the "Anti- bullying Club". Students from any grade

could come and discuss anything that seemed to be disturbing them. It helped

more people than we expected, especially students in 4th and 5th grade. It

gave us a sense of leadership and at the same time other students didn't feel

they had no one to talk to, and it was easier talking to someone closer to your

own age. If the matter was too serious we would bring it to the school's

attention. It left a big impact and helped many.

EDUCATE YOURSELF: ISTANBUL!






Istanbul is in Turkey and it’s the biggest city and tourist attraction in

Turkey. The most interesting thing about Istanbul is the amazing history

and that part of it is in Asia and part of it is in Europe . It’s a very beautiful

city with lots of history and interesting places to visit and this article will

tell you some places you can go to and things you can do in Istanbul.



There are many things that you can do in
Istanbul one of them that we really


recommend you do, is go to the prince’s
islands. It’s a long trip by boat but it’s worth it,


there’s many different island’s but the biggest
is the best .Another one of the best places in


Turkish Flag! Istanbul is the stunning dolmabahce palace. It
has 285 rooms, 44 halls, 68 toilets and 6


Turkish baths. It’s very beautiful from inside
and outside but with so many rooms you might

wanna pack some water bottles. If you like

boat trips you can go on a cruise under the

Bosphorous Bridge, it’s a calming and relaxing

cruise. If you want to explore amazing

landscapes you can plan a trip to bursa it’s a

very long journey though, for this one it’s

better to get a tour. And last but definitely not

the least the Hagia Sophia, it was first a

church then a mosque when it got took over

by the Muslims. All of these places are some

Bosphorus Bridge! of the best places to visit in Istanbul.

The Coming Storm






I wake to the sound of breathing that isn't my own. It's heaving, like a

man and rapid as if he's run into the room. I listen, still, trembling. He's

moving slowly, his heavy feet creaking floorboards. It’s Jacob.

Though my eyes are open, I can’t think of why my heart is pounding. I

strain into the utter darkness, as my breathing rate is beginning to

steady. Jacob, shaking with terror, briefs me. We have to climb a tree. I

find this amusing since he finds climbing trees a waste of time unless

its to pick pecan nuts and nectarines. I give him a concerned face, but

he ignores me and hastily runs to the front of the house. Unable to

make sense of our circumstances, I stumble out of bed and hit the

ground to feel a searing pain in my mouth. I rush to my feet and blindly

follow Jacob into the darkness.

A brumal breeze blew through my hair, as rain hammered against the

rocks. This was certainly not the day to be caught in a downpour. As

the cliff crumbled under our feet, Jacob, grabs me by the arm and pulls

me up a hill just off the seashore. On top of which, stood a strong, and

thick Elm tree. Hiking up, my soft gown tore against the harsh rocks.

Jacob makes it up before me, and beckons me to hurry. He places his

hands under my damp shoes to give me a boost. Looking up I see a

canopy of leaves scathed by the coming storm. A strong branch looms

over my head; I can reach it if I jump. The rough knots up the tree ooze

sap that smells and feels like sticky caramel toffee when it’s fresh. My

hands begin to itch as I continue to climb up the flaky, and rough

skinned tree. The ground is only feet away, but I can feel my heart

thumping. The smell of sweet dew from the glistening leaves fills my

nostrils. The wind blows. I feel that I am soaring. The leaves are my

wings, ruffling, as I am carried off the Earth. I look up, the canopy of

leaves now below me, the sky’s elegant peacock blue shade was

transforming into a starless, gravel grey sky. I fluttered in the wind like

a thread, when promptly, lightning lashed across the pitch-black sky,

and waves began to pound against the jagged rocks.

. My screams echoed, the sounds resembling an animal more than that

of a human at the sight of Jacob’s body falling to the ground and being

caressed by the violent waves. The dense water rises up the tree

rapidly. A whirlpool of clouds blankets the sky, and the downpour speeds

up.

My tree. The tree Jacob picked to save my life, before his own, is

uprooted. The aggressive waters toss the branch I am clinging on to for

dear life. My legs are tired and I’m struggling to bring myself back up to

see the mercy overhead. Breaking to the surface again, I gulp the

summer air, and within a splash I’m under again. This time I sink faster. I

can no longer hold me breath. The cold water rushes in. All hope for

surviving is gone. Soon enough, the oxygen deprivation erases my

thoughts of the inky firmament, or the sequenced stars, or that Jacob

sacrificed himself for me. Gradually I float away to a water grave.
