Milk particles

As everyone knows, it is every milk particles dream to go to Wentworth College and be drunk by one of their fabled girls, or to be eaten with their cereal (which was luckily not murdered by the cereal killer1

However, as everyone also knows, there is the massive danger of being drunk by a TEACHER. And no teacher is worse than Mrs Hayward, who, it is rumoured, actually puts milk set aside specifically for the girls breakfast in her tea.2

From the milk particles perspective3

Firstly, I was in a dark warm thing for absolutely ageeeeeeeesssssssss, but it was funfun because I was whizzing about so fastfast.4

But then I moved soooo amazingly fastfast into another dark warmish thing with lots of other milk particles. Then, the big dark thing was moved very jerkily, as though something bigbig was carrying it, but keeping putting it down. Next, it got coldcold so everyone stopped moving around, but luckily it didn’t get so cold that we all Joined, but it was close, and I was stuck with strangers pushing me around, which wasn’t funfun because I wanted to whiz about fastfast but I couldn’t. 5

We seemed to wait not very long before the Big Noise, but people told me that it wasn’t the Big Noise, just an ‘engine’ starting up, but it sounded big and scary to me. But I soon forgot about the big noise, because we Started Moving, so everyone got more and more jostled around, and started moving around more, but not as much as I wanted, which was boring.6

After ages in the ‘lorry’ we stopped. Then we were carried around a bit by the bigbig thing who kept putting us down. Eventually, we reached the destination he was carrying us to, because he put us down. The place he put the bigbig thing we were in made it vibrate slightly, but then we started moving again, this time more smoothly, which made it massivly more funfun. When we stopped moving for a bit, it was boring, but then we started moring on our own out of the bigbig thing we were in into a bigbigbig thing, which got amazing, because we got hot, so everyone started whizzing around, which was hugely massivly more funfun but it didn’t last for very long which was boring. And then we got cold, so I thought that we were going to Join, which would have been awful, but luckily we didn’t get quite that cold. Yet.7

Next, we got siphoned off, in really small things that you couldn’t whiz around in properly, that is, we couldn’t anyway because we were all so cold, and that was boring. Then we started moving again, in random patterns, which was slightly exciting, but mainly boring, because I wanted to whiz around. Eventually, we got onto another ‘lorry’, and Started Moving. That was when I first heard the Rumour that we were going to Wentworth College!!!, but I couldn’t go whizzing around because it was soooo cold and there wasn’t enough room. But like I was going to get that get me down, - I was going to Wentworth College.!!!8

Anyway, we did arrive, eventually, and yes, we did go to Wentworth College. I had only been half-believing the Rumour until we arrived. When we arrived, we were bumped around lots and lots until we were tipped out into another container made of the same smooth stuff and put down on a table. Everyone immediately started talking about how this meant that we were going to be Drunk By A Student!!! I could hardly wait, and I tried to go whizzing around, but failed because the container we were in was too small, which made it very boring. But soon I forgot about trying to whiz around, and started trying instead to be at the top, which I couldn’t, because all the other milk particles on top of me were more powerful, which was extremely boring, so I had to wait near the top. Most of the milk particles went into the girls cereal, and then another girl came to that table, and poured herself some milk. I was going, I was going, I wasn’t going. I slid back down into the container I was in before, which was hugely more boring. But, I was at the top, I was going to go into the next girl’s cereal. But no more girls came to sit at this table. Then, I saw the TEACHER. She came sneaking up on the table, until one of the girls turned around and noticed her. Then, as she reached for the container we were in, too late, I realised who she was. Mrs Hayward. The teacher most feared by the milk community. She slowly picked up the container in one hand, then paused to laugh at a joke made by one of the other girls. Slowly, she tipped the container over her tea. I tried desperately to push myself backwards into the rest of the milk particles, but to no avail, I was dragged mercilessly forwards, into the teacher’s cup of tea.9

    That was funny! It was a little hard to follow in the end, mostly because you had some run-on sentences. I thought it was really good, though.

    lol, this was very interesting. At first, I couldn't really understand what it was about, but then it became quite clear that it was cartons of milk making their journey to Wentworth College. Very humorous, and I liked the perspective from the milk particles.

    Well done (:

    Good luck in the contest. (:

      glad that you like it. It really was great fun writing this, esp cos I actually went to Wentworth, and yes, Mrs Hayward was there too, and she did keep trying to steal the milk, so of course, I had to write this for her

    Oh no!.....

    Poor milk particle!

    This is exactly the silly kind of oddness that I love in stories (for ultimate oddness, think Roald Dahl ).

    This was very well written, considering it was from the perspective of a milk particle. It flowed very well, and the imagery was also interesting considering how you had to write it.

    I couldn't spot any grammer or spelling errors, so you're safe on that note! *phew!*

    I would love to see more of this sort of story from you-perhaps what happens to a parcel sent in the post? A breadcrumb that escapes the bread? I dunno For ultimate randomness with a hoover made of bubblegum actually, I suggest you look at this clip- http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=7rvOZpO6Glk (I don't know if you've already seen this or not)

    Anyhoo, overall, I loved reading this story, and thought it was a very unique, well written idea. Good luck in the contest!

      glad that you like it. Roald Dahr is pretty random, so's Terry Pratchett. Grammar and punctuantion are important to me, so I usually check things pretty carefully, but I'm glad to see that you don't find any either. Thanks for the other ideas, they may be just what I want to break my writer's block. No, I havent seen the clip, I must remember to when I can get on youtube(boarding skl is ver annoying at times). Sounds like a fascinating clip, I have an idea for a hoover, and this might be what I need to get me going

    Bizarre

    This is a very bizarre story. A weird thing to write about, but strangely entertaining. Nothing really stood out for me, but good effort!
    Good luck

    A beautiful little story that was quite amusing. You have a top sense of humour and a good way with words, Elphinstone. I will be looking forward to seeing more of your works as time goes on.
