The Conker Champion '09

The 'Conker Championship '09' was held in school last week. It was one dry day in October.
We were having a conker competition. In my first match I played Taylor and I won.
Then I went on to beat Darell. it took ages but eventually I won so I went on to play Luke in the semi's - I won.
I was in the final with Alex.I knew it was going to be hard because Alex is good. We were only 2 minutes in the fight and it was his shot. He walloped it his hardest and his one smashed!! I won and everyone jumped on me and picked me up and gave me the 'kings chair'. I was delighted with my life. I didn't even think I was going to win but I did!!!

The 155th Floor

The Burj tower, 155 stories high. To be the worlds tallest building. There I stood with only a parachute. I got in by disguise, as a builder. It was the easy part. Here comes the hard part. I started climbing the crane perched on the top of the tower. I was careful not to slip, if I did I would fall and most likely die. Finally I reached the top of the crane. The cold air around me. Hard to breath this high up, but I still felt confident about this. I wasn't going to back down from this. With one last gasp of breath I jumped. Falling for 7 seconds. I pulled the cord, but it was jammed. I kept calm and tried to fix it, success. Just in time. I started gliding gently towards the ground.
August 6 12:32 pm I jumped from the Burj tower.
