300 Words: The Finalists

300 Words: The Finalists

Sheep Rule

By Angus Sinton , age 10

In the darkness of the institute, dead at night, sat Dolly the sheep. To anyone else she looked like a gloomy-eyed zombie with a cold, frozen stare. However, Dolly had a plan. It was a plan of revenge. For her whole life, she was poked with needles and experimented on. Sadly, she had never seen daylight or ran around on real grass. For years, she had sat plotting like an evil genius. 

 

That night was the night when her dreams would come true! She had watched the scientists clone animals. She knew how it was done. One idiotic scientist had mistakenly dropped the door key into the sheep pellets. 

 

Dolly now had the key in her mouth and expertly opened the door. The next part of her plan was to use some hair from a human hairbrush and special chemistry techniques to clone the humans. After an hour, she had cloned seventeen humans who she locked in a glass dome (with only a half-eaten yoghurt). 

 

Next, she used her own tongue saliva to clone herself into seven-hundred- thousand sheep. The sheep gathered together and escaped out of the prison institute. Like a swarm of bees, they used their strength to annihilate the whole human race within seventy-eight weeks. Buildings were crushed like an ant (when a droplet of water drops on them). With no buildings, the land turned into a mix of new marshlands and grasslands. New hills formed with luscious grass and planet earth became amazing again. Pollution was no more, and all species of animals thrived. 

 

Within a year, the sheep’s numbers had almost reached fourteen million whereas the human race was down to two depressed humans. Both of these, still remain in the Roslin Institute………..In a glass dome with only an empty yoghurt pot.
