23) Stories
Another story from the Future Learn Creative Writing course.
Story 2.
Daniel The Sniffer Dog.
Daniel looked out of the window. The winter clouds were moving. Spring was only two weeks away and for the last month it hadn't rained. He barked excitedly, but John was at work. John was a policeman. Then the phone rang, Daniel ran to the phone. It rang again, Daniel was going back to the window wagging his tail, then his tail knocked the phone and the radio. The phone said, "Hello, I'm from your bank. We have a problem with your account". The radio went, "What is the solution?" The phone said, "We need your bank number", "17328" said the radio. The radio was playing the Sunday maths quiz show. The phone said, "OK, bye". "Thank you" said the radio and applause broke out. "Er, you're welcome" said the phone. At the other end of the phone a robber went to his computer and typed 17328 and took all the money but he did not realise that he was taking all his own money as 17328 was his own number.
The End.

22) Stories
A challenge on the Future Learn Creative Writing course was to switch on the radio and then write a short story based on the first thing you heard.
Switching on the radio, we heard a news item about a scam involving people being telephoned by bogus 'bank employees', asked to give their bank details and then having money stolen from their accounts.
Story 1.
Teatime at the Snowball's House
Brrrring, Bring.
"Gimme all your bank details, yo ho, ho" said a robber.
"Er, no" said Mr Snowball and quickly put the phone down. He walked back to the table. He was mid way back when, Brrring, Bring. Mr Snowball grumbled and turned around.
"Hello," said a strangely familiar voice,
"I'm the bank manager and something has gone wrong with your bank account. What is the number?"
"OK, 1268348699007" said Mr Snowball.
"Yo, ho, ho" said a robber.
"Oh, no" said Mr Snowball and he walked slowly back to the table.
Brrrring, Bring went the phone. Mr Snowball grumbled the Snowball's House roof off. He picked up the phone and shouted, "You are not taking anymore money".
"Er, who is this?" said the bank keeper.
"Er, Mr Snowball" said Mr Snowball.
"Er, yes, and why don't you phone the police" said the bank keeper.
"Er, I suppose I will" said Mr Snowball. He rang the police. The policeman said "We'll get your money back".
The End.
