Mud Run Writing

 Writing: Free Writing




The Mud Run!
5/5/15


I stepped into the first part of the everlasting track of mud and felt the squelchy mud oozing between my toes. “Oh no, how is this going to end?” I thought to myself.

I followed the path of mud and I saw that it led to an averagely big area of watery mud. And there were people swimming in it. I got down onto the slippery mud and cautiously slid into the mud. The mud went up to my waist and I could feel the brown goo sliding up me. I quickly raised my arms above the surface and waded through. Once I got to the end I gripped my hands to the dry mud and tried to heave myself up. I couldn’t get up! The parent who was there reached out his hand and pulled me out. “Thanks!” I said breathlessly.

I ran to next part and went around the edge of yet another watery patch and then the safety dry mud ended so I had to half-walk half-jump into the sticky brown gooey stuff. There was a stick under the mud and I landed on it! Ouch! I quickly made it to the other end and this time managed to get up with my knees by digging them into the mud without a parent helping me!


I slid into the next patch of mud because it looked suspiciously deep. I waded to the end and there was a tiny island with a tree on it and Alyssa’s Dad was leaning from it and helping people up. Beside the island and in the mud Tiaki’s Dad was boosting people up the island and the kids were grabbing the helping hand of Alyssa’s Dad. When I got boosted up I jumped over the gap between mud and safety. Luckily I made it over and didn’t land back in the dreaded mud. So I ran into the next part and jumped into the thick disgusting mud.


My nose wrinkled when I smelled something like cow poo and mud mixed together. Oh wait, it was cow poo and mud mixed together! I tried moving my legs forward but I was stuck. Well and truly stuck! “Hey Emma!” I heard and slightly turned my head and saw Tiaki jump in beside me. She got stuck as well so I had company in the sickening mud. The smell was so bad that Tiaki vomited right beside me! So after that I propelled my legs forward and scrambled out. And so I made it out and went through the shallow thick mud and made it to the complete end of the Mud Run!


For some reason my brain wanted me to do the Mud Run again! So I did. At one point I got told to jump in the watery mud so I took it seriously. And I went under the mud! I had mud all over my face and could hardly see! Everyone started laughing at me and I felt so embarrassed! I skirted around the edge of the thick mud part and managed to go past it without falling in! So I made it back to the end and start finish line and did it two more times! But since I had been under the mud for the rest of the Mud Run I was a….








COMPLETE MUD MONSTER!!!!!! :)

Dear Family,


Today as I carried the injured soldier on my back I could smell the stink of fresh gunpowder. I put the soldier down and jumped into the trench and reached up and pulled the soldier into cover. I carried him to the medic’s hole and carefully put him down. I ran back to the main tunnel and grabbed my gun when I realized that there was Turks in our trench! I shot my gun to many times and then felt myself falling down….


And that’s when everything went black.


I woke up much later in the medic’s hole and saw one of the medics looking down at me. “What… what happened?’’ I stammered. “You fainted because of the heat and you fell down so hard that you have broken your left arm.” The medic said with a sympathetic smile. “Can I still fight?” I asked. “Well… are you left-handed?” “No.” “Good, then you can still fight.” “Yes! I can still fight for my country!” I jumped out of the medic’s hole and grabbed my gun and stepped over all the dead bodies that I guessed were from the fight with the Turks.
“ANZAC’S PLEASE MEET AT THE GENERAL’S HOLE!!!!” That’s when we found out we were going home tomorrow! The war had ended!
