Landslide

One day four children from Bectan Sands - Mark who’s nine, Jack who’s ten, Courtney who’s eight and Marlon who’s thirteen - were so bored that they went to Smugglers Cliff. Mark walked to the edge of rocky cliffs to see the sands below him but his leg jammed in-between two rocks.

Jack got his phone and called the coastguard. He looked away whilst on the phone.
Suddenly he felt the ground shaking and then heard a loud rumble. He spun around. Mark had disappeared. There had been a land-slide. Mark must have fell.
Jack screamed “Coastguard get your boat.”
Courtney was screaming "Phone his parents, they have a boat."
Marks friend’s were screaming to him "Find a rock and climb on."
Mark found a rock, but it was slippery. He had no grip, so when he got on he fell off the other side.

Twenty minutes later a boat arrived, but it was to wide to fit though the rocks so the man threw a life-buoy and pulled Mark to the boat. He got back to shore with only a broken leg.

"He’s lucky he’s alive and that his friends have phones” said the coastguard, "Plus we know what to do”.

The children would never go to the edge of anything again.
