Soumya Tiwari, Class X B
Stephen walked fast. It was getting dark. He then realized that he had lost his way, yet again. Oh! It was so difficult to remember the way in the woods!
His heart was racing. He increased his speed, moving briskly, trying to hear for the stream flowing. He finally heard it, the soft chatter of the stream as it rolled down the rocky land. Stephen followed the noise and found the way. He walked slowly now, his ears cocked to hear footsteps if anyone was following him.
Stephen was a spy. He had been betrayed by his own companion. And now, the soldiers were following him. They wanted to kill him, of course! He had the ‘Top Secret File’ with him.
‘Crack’.
Stephen stopped. Someone was running towards him. Stephen quickly pulled out a blade from his shoe and threw it towards the man. He fell and moved no more. Stephen pressed the dial of his watch and a gun appeared. He really did not want to use it. But then, it was the demand of the circumstances. He aimed the gun at the other two soldiers who were advancing towards him, killing them. The others ran away. Stephen reached home safely and provided his government with the file. What was in there, and how he retrieved it, is another story.
