Please bear in mind this is from memory from the exam, so some bits are probably missing..

Now, I wrote this story for my GCSE exam. The question was 'Describe a Car, Plane, Train or Bus journey', so I took a nice depressive spin on it. It didnt actually pan out as such, but I was just writing away, then looked back at the end and thought.. 'shit, I've made a story about an autistic, scitzophrenic, bi-polar child who may have killed his mother'

Now I had no time to edit the story, so I had to hand it in as such. The main jist of the story is that the protaganist and his father are on the way to a funeral home or hospital, I assume, to say goodbye to the mother who has died, but we don't know why, but it is hinted that the protaganist was the one who killed him. The whole 'Red Light' thing is him stopping at the traffic lights, followed by 'Green Light' which is the traffic lights turning Green again.



I've never seen a sheep so fluffy. It was like Candy-Floss with legs. I couldn't even imagine something like that in my dreams.

Oh dear. Now Dads looking at me wierd. That or he's tired. Not sure which. No, he's definately puzzled at what I am thinking. Now he's looking even more puzzled because I'm looking puzzled at him looking puzzled. Now hes lo.. Red Light.

Do you think that Green man ever gets tired? I mean, his legs are always outstrectched. That would tire me out. I think he sleeps when the light goes off. Like the sun going down. I allow myself a little smile and turn on the radio. Amber. Green Light.

Will we get there soon, we left the house hours ago and I'm starting to get bo..OH! I love this song! Me and my dad bobbing left and right to the rhythm of the song. I bet we look like a right pair of..

Wow! Did you see that cow. I like animals. Thats why Im a vegetarian. I like Candy-Floss Sheep and Moo-n Rock Cows too much. 'Moo'-n Rock cows. I allow myself a little chuckle and gaze out the window, watching the countryside fly by. The wind blows my hair into my face. I don't like that. Time to close that window. Will we be getting there soon, Im bor..

Ronald McDonald scares me. If I was driving and he stepped out in the road I wouldnt stop. Thats depressing isnt it. I'm not smiling any more. Will we get there soon, I'm not bored now, sa..

Awsome! Did you see that dog it was so cool! It was all like 'woof' and.. ahh, too cool. My dad wont let me get a dog. Says I'm not responsible enough or something stupid like that. I have 3 goldfish, though. I mean if I can look after 3 damn goldfish alright why arent I allowed a damn dog it doesnt seem fair Dad is do damn controlling it just makes me so ma.. Red Light.

Do you think that Red man gets bored? He just stands there all day doing nothing. I suppose the Green man does to but he has intentions to go somewhere. Red man should take a read of Green mans book. Do something, go somewhere. Amber. Green Light.

OH WOW. Did you see that cyclists bike lights? I mean it was all like on and off when he pedalled. Like a rave going on in the light, all the dust particles having a part..

We turned off, that sucks. I was enjoying that light. Dad doesnt let me go to parties. My dad wont let me get a dog. Says I'm not responsible enough or something stupid like that. I mean, I went once and was alright so I don't see why he doesnt let me go again he's so damn controlling and damn untrusting and he just makes me so damn mad and so damn ang.. Red Light.

Why isnt there an Amber man? Like a 'you can almost cross' light. He would have one leg outstretched but not the other. That would be awsome, I would love that. Amber (man). Red man. Green Light.

I hope Mums ok. She hasnt called which is wierd. I dont see why dad doesn't let me see her. I mean, he says I'm not responsible enough to cope with her being ill, but I was alright when dad got ill. Why doesnt he damn trust me he is so damn controlling and it really annoys me and he thinks its for the better but im damn ok as it is its so damn irritating it just makes me so damn mad and so damn angry and I want to find something to hur.. Stop.

We are here. The engine goes off. Its my fault we are here you know. My mind plays tricks on me. I dont want to leave the car. I turn up the radio and try to drown out the world. Dad leans over and tells me we are saying bye to mum for the final time. I dont want to know what he mean… no. This is why no dogs, no parties, no seeing mum.

No. Turn on the car and drive dad. I dont want this.. he turns the radio off. NO! I want countryside and candy-floss sheep and moo-n rock cows. no. This is why.. I'm not responsible..

I am responsible.

It is hardly offensive, stop being pedantic, but I shall remove it anyway. Stop backseat modding, by the way.
