Sheet Metal Toaster

A long time ago there was a toaster. That was owned by a girl and her dad said she was special her name was

Claudia Taco Unicorn. Claudia loved tacos and unicorns she made her own taco toaster that only made tacos

and nothing else and if you tried to put bread in it, it will spit it back out. Claudia’s BFF was a unicorn named

Maria Lobster Karma Cheese ball. Maria had wavy rainbow hair.

One day Claudia got her toaster and Maria and went to the park with her picnic basket. Whilst Claudia was on

her way to the picnic spot she found a panda and put it on Maria’s back. Ok so Claudia then found her picnic

spot and sat down with Maria and her toaster. The toaster was so happy that it came alive and turned into a

taco. The taco was alive and could talk so it named itself Jerry. Claudia’s picnic was over and everyone went

home to relax and go to bed.

A week later on October 3, 2004 Jerry was taken by her evil brothers with spiky orange hair, yellow teeth and

doesn’t wear a shirt! Claudia got on her taco flying bike and flew to her brothers houses. When she arrived at

both of her brother’s house (they lived together) she smashed the door open with Maria by her side. When

they got inside they notice Jerry wasn’t there and that her brothers had hid it somewhere in town! So Claudia

got back on her bike and rode to the town it took 3 hours to get there but Claudia thought it was worth it.

Claudia and Maria got to the town and were going to the taco shop first and Jerry wasn’t there, they went to

every shop they saw and they saw nothing. But there was one they didn’t go in and that was the teddy shop

near the hat store. They went inside and saw unicorn with the unicorn teddies. They picked up Jerry and went

home it was a long way away but they were all happy they found Jerry.

Story by Claudia Brennan

Sheet Metal Toaster

One dark and stormy night young John was up late reading when a knock filled the room. John opened the

door and slap-bang there was an old lady with a dropping cape holding an ancient toaster. ‘Take this little

boy, take it now’ that horrible witch was saying. John explained that they didn’t need a toaster but she just

whispered ‘doom be upon you if you shall not take it’. ‘OK just give the toaster and get away from me’ said a

scared John. She evilly smiled and disappeared saying ‘good boy’. John put the toaster on the bench and went

to bed. Next morning his Dad asked him what’s that metal thing, so John explained what happened but Dad

just laughed and told him he was dreaming and maybe some fresh air would do you good. So they decided to

walk the dog to the park. Meanwhile the toaster sucked in a slice of bread and cooked it to flames and shot it

at the morning paper, making it burst into flames and set fire to everything. When John and his Dad got home,

or what was left of home they were horrified to see the toaster psychopathically shooting burning toast and

electrical forks at everything. Then John without a moment to spare grabbed a frying pan and started hitting

debris at the ‘toaster of doom’ as out of control as the toaster. John was an A grade cricketer and he smashed

an electrical fork in the toaster, causing it to short circuit and shutdown… …for good.
