GIANT THIEF ROBS BANK

by Cooper MacMillan

Breaking news! There is a giant wrecking Christchurch.

“The giant was really big. The giant was green, like a troll. You could hear screaming. He smelt like rotten eggs.”

The giant made shock waves through the city. There were cracks in the ground and bank alarms going off. The giant has been in schools and banks. Everyone is evacuating Christchurch.

“Evacuate now!” the mayor said.

Police called the Army for back-up. The military got a big net to capture the giant, but the next day he escaped from prison.

But, the police and army had put a tracker on the giant, so they could see where the giant was. A couple of hours later, the giant was seen at the school putting rooms in a giant sack. Kids were screaming and running from the giant.

All the shops and schools are now closed.

DESTRUCTIVE GIANT

by Finn Davie

Lyttelton Harbour has been attacked by a destructive giant stepping on trucks and buildings. People are running up and down telling other people to get the heck out of their houses and run.

It smells as disgusting as one hundred farts mixed with gasoline. His legs are as big as trees. His toes are thumpy like rocks.

The Prime Minister said, “We should make peace with the giant.” But, the General of Defence said, “We should use nuclear weapons!” But the government said no, so they decided to build a wall.

But that won’t stop him ever. He just breaks through it, like nothing is in his way. Nothing will stop this destructive giant.

RUNAWAY GIANT

Everyone evacuate the city now! A giant entered Christchurch yesterday morning.

She smells like stinky socks. The girl wears an ugly dress, shoes, ugly hair. She has hair in her ears and nose. When you see the giant and you scream the giant grows bigger.

Last night the giant was seen down Mrs Koster’s street and Mrs Levings screamed, “A giant! Run and save yourselves!”

In Christchurch, everyone is frightened. The giant had been at Russley School. The giant tore the school up and rooms 1 through to 9 were destroyed. Rooms 10 to 19 are still standing.

The police said for everyone to hide until the giant has been jailed.

GIANT ESCAPED PRISON

by Leah Falconer

A giant escaped prison on Thursday at 2pm, letting out villains everywhere. People are running for their lives. The giant has big hairy ears. When people scream, the giant grows. She is very big, twice the size of the Eiffel Tower.

First, she began to take down the city, roaring houses down with her smelly breath. It smells like turned milk.

She went through Russley School and flattened it. Police were getting people into cars but she chased them down.

But then a baby laughed, and the giant shrunk to normal size.

GIANT CAUSES HAVOC IN CHRISTCHURCH

by Robbie de Groot-Tsuji

A giant has been causing havoc for the past 20 minutes in Christchurch. The giant started its course at the tourist spot, the Gondola, in the Port Hills. It reached Ferrymead and is slowly travelling to the city centre.

Eye witness Sera Jones, resident of Ferrymead said, “First we thought it was some aftershocks from the earthquakes. It was about a magnitude 2.5. But then we saw IT looming in the distance - a giant. It was picking up buildings and cars and putting them in his sack. He was picking up people and eating them. He smelt bad, what a horrible sight.”

The giant has moved through the industrial zone by Lyttelton tunnel. Civil Defence is saying to keep calm and evacuate. The city is slowly evacuating and the mayor is saying that it is good progress. The giant has rapidly sped up and made the halfway mark to the city centre. Scientists estimate that it will take the giant half an hour to get to the city centre.

The police has called in the NZ Army and the giant has been slowing down since. Wanted posters have been sent out.
