Jocelyn's Essay

"Screech....! BANG!". This sound was always present in Giselle's mind. Pain shot through her heart each time she hears this. " Jane...NO, don't do that..", she called out to her pet companion. Her dog was fine but Giselle will not be able to forget the unforgettable incident.
"Come on Jane. Let's hurry for our walk", Giselle called out. "Woof. Woof", replied Jane in agreement. "That's my girl". Giselle winked at Jane. While taking a walk, she saw her brother's friend, Timothy. He was playing ball with some boys across the street. She smiled and continued walking her pet.
"Get ready for my power shot", she overheard one of the boys yelling. He did kick the ball with much force that it went rolling acroos the road. "Woof", Jane barked and dashed towards it."No Janeeee!", Giselle screamed. "Beep!Beep!....Screech....BANG!" A series of the sounds of horns and crashing followed. Everyone's legs turned to stones. Some gasped in horror. Giselle's eyes widened with fear. Jane was motioness and bleeding profusely. Beads of perspiration rolled down Mr Loh's forehead. He was the driver who knocked Jane down. His mind was in whirl. He immediately dialled for assistance.
The ambulance arrived at the scene in the nick of time. Giselle waited edgily at the hospital. Jane had gone for an operation. The door flung open. Giselle was trembling with fear as she waited for the vet to say something. "Your dog is fine". Giselle was in high spirits. She burst with excitement when he said that she can see her pet. As she entered the ward, she heard Jane's bark. Her dog was back.

Malcolm's Compo

Whenever May sees the wound on her pet dog's leg, she will recall what happened on that miserable day.
Sunlight glinted off the windows of the vehicles on the road. The cloudless sky was lit up by the merciless rays of the mid-day sun. Mary and her pet dog Ben were walking along the sidewalk of a busy road. She had Ben on a leash and was humming a tune while they took a stroll. While walking, she saw a group of boys playing soccer.
Out of the blue, one of the boys kicked the ball too hard and it neared the road. The sight of the bouncing ball caught Bens' attention. Ben quickly dashed across the road and ran towards it. At the same time, there was an oncoming vehicle travelling at break-neck speed. "STOP DOGGIE!", one of the boys bellowed. The appraoching car screeched to a halt but it was too late. Ben was hit badly on the leg. He layed motionless on the road.Everyone was too dazed to utter a word. May's mouth was agape in horror at the sight of her beloved dog bleeding profusely.
May rushed to check on him. Tears trickled. The driver apologised to May. He volunteered to drive to the nearby vet. They rushed him there quickly. Ben needed a minor operation. He regained consciousness after his surgery. The vet assured May that Ben would recover soon. The scar on his leg never ceases to remind May of that unforgettable accident.

Darrutuan's Essay

Everyone left the pet cemetary. I shed my last tear for Jack. I knelt down and placed a carnation on his grave. Here lies my loyal friend, my pet dog, Jack. I stood there staring at the grave as I recalled that fateful day.
I was with Jack that day. "Here boy...." I whistled to Jack. My bold companion raced swiftly to me. I was jogging with Jack at the park. Jack loves the outdoors. We walked past some blocks and playground. I could hear some laughter coming from nearby. There was a group of children playing football cheerfully. "It's my turn," exclaimed a boy as he kicked the ball through the air. The ball raced across to the road. Jack saw this. Suddenly he dashed to retrieve the ball. At the same time, there was a car fast approaching. It all happened simultanously and it was too late. BANG! "Woof...", Jack let out a bark in pain. A desperate cry pierced through the air. I could not believe my eyes as I gasped in horror.
Tears rolled down my cheeks. I walked towards Jack. There was a pool of blood. The driver of the car was there. Shivers ran down his spine. I whipped out my phone and dialled '995'. The pet ambulance arrived and sent him for treatment. The doctor informed me that I would never see Jack again. Jack had died. Till this very day, I keep visiting my pet's grave to remember him.

Keene's Composition

The magnolia white clouds dotted the azure blue sky. The slight breeze rustled the leaves. Tom, Ken and Sam were playing football at a field near the road. Mary would always walk her dog in the afternoon around 4 p.m. She would hook a leash and bring Tim, her dog, out.
As the boys were having a great time, Sam accidentally kicked the ball too hard that it went 'flying' in the air. It caught Ken's attention and he decided to run out of the field to retrieve it.
Unfortunately, he failed to notice an oncoming vehicle. Tim thought Ken was playing 'Fetch' with him so he dashed to catch the ball. The leash slipped out of Mary's hand. Ken, from the opposite side of the road, instructed him to stop but obviously Time could not comprehend his instruction. The fast-racing car realised it was too late to stop and avoid Tim. The car crashed into Tim.
Tim dropped unconscious on the road. The driver rushed out to take a look. His legs went wobbly when he saw Tim lying in a pool of blood. Mary rushed forward with her eyes widened in fear. The other boys stood rooted to the ground.
Without furthur delay, Mary quickly punched in the emergency numbers. Within the twinkling of an eye, the ambulance appeared. The paramedics rushed the dog to the nearest veterinarian. By the time they reached there, Tim was not breathing. Mary's mind went blank and hapless tears streamed down her cheeks. Tim had passed away. The boys apologised repeatedly to her. It was no use. Mary continued to tear terribly on her way to the pet cemetary.
