@PersonSP isn't it about time to close this and decide the winner? I'd say we have enough submissions so far (just 4 though). You have been really inactive lately. I know you are busy, but come by every now and then. It certainly didn't go nearly as good as we expected though! Even after all the tagging we did! It's probably Marc's fault for making a story writing activity for the fair!

We lived on an island above the clouds. A small island, where few could prosper, but it was a place seen by many, including myself, as home. Many left the island for the surface when they realised the space limitations were too impending. It was said that a vast world, with massive bodies of water, barren valleys of orange salts and incredible lands of ice, lie below the clouds. No one, however, had returned from the surface to tell the tale. It was always assumed that those who plunged into the surface were forbidden from re-entering the atmosphere of the sky, a legend passed down through the royal family since ancient times. Was there something more complicated than that though? I wasn't one whose words could be taken seriously, only being minor after all, but I've always wanted to discover more about what lay below, a world which we held no real records of. To think such a world was just a dive away: it was truly fascinating.
On one day, a day in which the events that occurred will forever be implanted in my mind, a group of strange beings came. They arrived on peculiar looking vehicles which flew so elegantly, but in appearance looked so sinister. What's more, they emerged from below. All this was too much for me to take in at once, and my mind could not be anymore astounded by what I saw when these vehicles landed on our ground; the strange beings walked out. They had hair on their heads, skin tones ranging from white to brown, abnormally thin sticks on their irregular arms and wore pieces of cloth to cover their bodies. Moreover, they were carrying what looked like short poles with holes on one end and strangely positioned handles. Were these... the entities of the surface? Overcome with fear, we all began to run away. These creatures started to chase us, with their bizarre objects in their hands. I began to hear loud banging noises and horrific screams of the people of our race. Terrified, I continued to run, and saw the island castle looming in the distance. It was on fire.
I fell to my knees, devastated by what had happened. 'Is this what the surface is?' I thought as tears began to prick my eyes, seeing my fellows killed mercilessly by these beings. Why were we so different? We were only separated by a barrier of clouds, yet why were we so different? I had hoped to one day leave the island and discover the world of the surface, then to return and tell the stories of my adventures to my friends. Here, I was seeing my friends falling, lying in pools of their deep blood, being slaughtered by the beings of the place I admired for so long. In the end, there was no one left for me to turn to. Everyone was gone. The island was ruined - nothing was left of it aside from the mere bloodstained ground. The longer I stayed here, the more likely it was that I would be slaughtered by those monsters. I made for the diving platform. I was going to the surface. I was going to avenge my fallen race. I was the last survivor of the village of the sky. I was the one who would kill all the beings of the surface and reestablish the race of the sky. I sprinted up to the diving platform and, without a second of thought, made the jump.

Due to a lack of suitable entries even after three weeks I am refunding the entry fees and closing this competition.
@Spinnerweb could you help me out and close the thread please?
