Collection of humorous short stories from 7th grade
The Legend of Mr. Popo
A young cancer patient lay in the hospital bed, hands clasped in prayer. Then, a blinding light flashed next to him, and Mr. Popo appeared where the light was. The child turned to him and asked "Mr. Popo, can you make my hair grow back?"
"Done," said Mr. Popo. He snapped his fingers, and hair began sprouting out of the child's head. The child yelped in glee, then shrieked, for the hair kept growing until it had completely enveloped his head. Muffled cries echoed throughout the otherwise now-empty room, and when the hair fell off, the child's head was gone.
Robot Spider Legs Amusement Park
The gaggle of mothers laughed and conversed just outside the borders of the amusement park. "No adults allowed, just leave your children inside," read the sign in the entrance. Even from outside the clamor of the playing children could be heard.
Suddenly, the mothers heard a deep rumbling, and they all turned their heads towards the amusement park. The ground beneath the park appeared to tremble and shake while rising, its borders now sloping off into a cliff. Higher and higher the plateau rose, until a set of robot spider legs became visible underneath the landmass. The robot spider legs, along with the amusement park with all the children inside, scurried off into the sunset.
Excellent Bait
A white van pulled up in the parking lot of the elementary school. Its door slid open by itself, revealing a small frosted cupcake sitting in the seats.
Suddenly, the ground shook, and a crowd of children spilled out of the school's entrance. They poured out like a tsunami, with waves of children crashing left and right, but ultimately towards the van. The flood surged into the van. An impossible number of children kept hurling themselves through its entrance as it shook back and forth.
Eventually, the tide subsided when every last child in the school had entered the van. The vehicle however still rocked in all directions from the crowd fighting inside over the cupcake. It was then when Mr. Popo left the driver's seat, ran around to the van's entrance, shut the door, returned to the driver's seat, and drove off.
Yes, they all involve children meeting a gruesome fate
