Story

I had never felt normal with my self…I was a 5 year old girl who never liked life I always wanted to mix with the boys but they never allowed this because you know what boys are like at they age they don’t like the ideas of girls being your friends. I was a smart child and my father always told me not to mix with boys because they only brake your heart so I never told just incase he got a pissed off but I also couldn’t tell my mum because she passed away when a drunken man smashed into the front of her car in the summer of 1993. So I just tryed my best to mix with the girls, I always felt like the odd one out when I was with the girls because I felt like a boy.

so as the years rolled on I was starting to be happier as a girl but I would still do anything to be a boy, I was 10 at this point and secondery school was just around the corner and my dad had got the impression that my every girl in the area was a slag so he put me into a girls school, I was furious and just couldn’t hold back my anger so as the summer holidays came I had an evil plan to run away on my mothers anniversary, it was 23rd of July and it was the last day of the school term and i enjoyed my last day with boys and girls.

My mothers anniversary was 6 days away I was on my best behaviour so my father didn’t suspect a thing I done everything a 10 year old would , played in the garden, went to my friends house and emptied the fridge. But before I knew it tonight was the night where I ran away from my fathers flat in suburban London. I packed my bag what I paid for with my weekly £30 pocket money. I took loads of essentials such as: Sweets, Healthy Foods, Toothbrush and paste and most importantly my clothes. As the clock struck 5:45 I heard my dad shout “dinner” but that was last thing I heard my dad say.

i jumped onto the second floor balcony from my third floor balcony and ran as fast as I could. I met Brittany at the local train station who gave me my last £150 and that was it… (TBC)

Class Work-Setting

image imageKayakoy is a “ghost town” in Turkey. It was abandoned in the 1900’s, Its population in 1900 was about 2,000, almost all Greek Christians; however, it is now empty except for tour groups and roadside vendors selling handmade goods. However, there is a selection of houses which have been restored, and are currently occupied.

Today Kayaköy village serves as a museum and is a historical monument. Around 500 houses remain as ruins and are under the protection of the Turkish government, including two Greek Orthodox Churches, which remain the most important sites of the ghost town.

On 9 September 2014, the Turkish government announced plans to develop the village. It plans to offer a 49-year lease that will “partially open Kayaköy’s archeological site to construction” and anticipated “construction of a hotel, as well as tourist facilities that will encompass one-third of the village.

 

On a warm night on July 3rd 2007 a pregnant lady was walking through the church ruins…she felt a fierce shake from under neath her and before she knew it she was on the floor, all she could think about was her soon to be born baby who was kicking like never before in her cut open stomach she was screaming for help but knew it would be a miracle for someone to be able to help her. a small male who was clearly closer to the female run straight through the falling church and didn’t think to help the women due to risking his own safety but that’s when I thought my self I need to step in, as the ground shook from underneath me about 50 yards away from the young lady I leaped from a crippled house to a fallen church…

The setting I have chosen is a abandoned stadium in the abandoned town of Kayakoy which is on the Greek side of Turkey.

Kayakoy was a place where a war happened and people had to flee and then no one ever bothered coming back
