Short stories: Vacation experiences


Ahmed thought they were brilliant, but he didn't swim with them, his Daddy said they were dangerous, so Ahmed played with his Beaver and practiced his swimming. There was loads to do on the boat, you could play tennis, volleyball and even watch films in the cinema. The best thing was still the swimming pool, it was massive!
Then, suddenly, there was a big bump and a loud crash. One of the Dolphins had bit into the ship. It was beginning to sink. Water was starting to fill the ship and Ahmed was very scared.


After a few minutes the boat was submerged in water but luckily most people had got into boats and were safe. Ahmed and Dave were fortunately in a boat but they couldn't see Mummy or Daddy anywhere. They shouted and called but they didn't hear anything. Dave slapped his tail in the water to make a loud noise but still they didn't hear anything. Ahmed thought all was lost but then out of nowhere he saw his Mummy and Daddy struggling in the water.
Ahmed quickly constructed a plan, Dave would make a raft with his brilliant building skills, then Ahmed would swim to his parents and get them. He would have to fight off the Dolphins so he grabbed a machine gun that just happened to be flying past. He shouted "I'm coming Mum and Dad, don't sink, I'll save you." Then he said to Dave, "Be quick Dave they look tired"
Dave replied in a broad Yorkshire accent, "Aye lad woun't be long, jus finish ma pie." So he scoffed it down and quickly made a raft.
Ahmed swam hard and got to his parents really quick!
"Get on the raft," he shouted, "You'll be safe there!"
"Sod off, we caused this whole thing to kill you, we hate you, you are a wining little git and you always get in the way of our nights of hot love!" Shouted his Mummy, once again punching him in the face.
"You bastard, you absolute bastard, I hate you," Screamed Ahmed with a bloody nose. He punched his Mummy in the face and to his surprise his Daddy punched him. Then out of nowhere, Dave jumped in and ate his Mummy and Daddy. Ahmed was safe as he clambered on to the raft and sailed home.
When he got home, Ahmed was very upset, he used to love his parents but now they were nothing more than potential poo being digested in Dave's digestive system. Although he was glad they were dead and not able to punch his face anymore, he did want his Mummy to tuck him in and Daddy to tell him bed time stories. Dave was illiterate and tried sending Ahmed to sleep by playing the banjo; it didn't work. Just as Ahmed thought all was lost he had a very nice surprise. His REAL Mummy and Daddy jumped through the door and shouted "Surprise, we were kidnapped by an evil Beaver, in fact it's that one! GET HIM" They ran at him with pickaxes and stabbed him repeatedly, Ahmed was both upset and happy, he got his parents back but Dave was dead.
It turned out that Dave wasn't actually a Beaver, he was a mutated Dolphin who just looked like a Beaver As for the impostor Mummy and Daddy, they were terrorists hired by Dave to help him. Ahmed was now relatively happy; he got a new pet, a lovely Fluffy antelope which he loved very much. His real Mum and Dad never punched him in the face and they all lived happily ever after.
