Based on sketches on the back of the piece of paper this was on, I can date this back to Year Seven, especially given the um some of the elements that appear in the story.
I'm really hoping Mr. Binoculars isn't a codename for Dr. Strange or Peter Parker. You do not want to get involved with Mephisto, dude.
Unfinished and incomplete.

It was a brutally hot Summer's day, and a man called Mr. Binoculars had lost his fan so he couldn't cool down. The fan shop has closed as everyone was to hot to move. The only shop open was 'True Harry Potter - The Magic Store'. He went along there so he could get buy a book of spells so he could summon the devil. "Abra-ca-heat-da!" he said, and was cast down to the pits of hell.
"What do you want?" A red figure asked, with giant horns and a lots of brown hair covering the bits which shouldn't be seen.

As If...
Sorting through boxes, I found two stories. I don't know when I wrote this one, or why.
---
I was snoring in bed. "Snore, snore, snore." In the middle of the night, I heard screams. Loud screams. As ifthey someowone were falling from a great height. As if they were in a car driving at 99 miles per hour. As if the car was driving usp upside down. As if their clothes blew up to reveal their underwear. As if their shoe hit their friend in the face. As if they dropped their candy floss on the floor. As if... well, that's about it.
I picked myself up, without dropping back to sleep.

Another Day in Ghana (illustrated)
Year 9 Geography. Unfinished and incomplete.
18th February 2011, written between 12:17 and 12:53. A Powerpoint presentation, representated here without the slides.
The African images I used come from Google Images, and the image from 'The Pandorica Opens' of the Earth comes from the excellent Doctor Who screencaps site Tragical History Tour. Effects added through Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007.
Whilst "when" is seemingly a typo, it does seem to capture an African accent. The circular effect on the images of the mother and child now remind me of Marvel Point One.
Another Day in Ghana
Directed, written and produced on Microsoft PowerPoint by Peter Webb
Ghana, Africa.
2011.
06:00 am.
Grace wakes up.
She goes to wake up her three surviving children.
“When will Papa be back?”, her youngest asks.
“I don’t know; he when missing after we left him to find a job in the town,” replies Grace. “I will see you later,” tells Grace, “I have to find some water. You can make the porridge whilst I am gone.”

'Travel Through Time'
Year 6 English.
For once, I decided to write within English without using a Doctor Who theme, despite the fact this piece of work is all about time travel. And is one of the worst pieces I've ever written. Despite being set in the Victorian era, some unintentional anachronisms play surprisingly well with the Bloody Code. In a time where the penny farthing is present and heads are placed on poles as a deterrent, the comedic activity of accidentaly pushing someone of a bike earns a death sentence from a policeman. The Tudor execution process is used, too. So, it's after 1829 and before the Bloody Code evolved into transportation... woops, Robert Peel would be mad. It must have been a very unfair trial. Inspiration comes from Horrible Histories, I expect. The teacher commented that this was "a bit brutal." I'm hating the perspective of this, using the pronoun of 'you'. I think Mr. Peabody had more fun.
Travel through Time
When you arrive, you see an amazing sight. There are no cars, no motorbikes and no bikes. Well, except for that giant one which looks like it came out of somewone's purse. You look at the other side of the bridge. There are no less than 20 heads stuck on poles. "Uggh..." yousaid
say, disgusted. You lean back and accidently make the person on the bike fall
into the water.
A policemanviewed views this and arrests you.
"Your head's going to be on that bridge," the policeman says. You
don't I didn't understand what he means, but I knew you know it
he means something bad. You get taken to your cell, and your head gets chopped
off by a man in black clothes. He puts it on the bridge for everyone to see.
The end.

The Mystery of Class 6T
Inspired by real life events, though it doesn't go over the condoms and the racist vandalism, as I didn't quite understand that at the time. I've no idea if Mr. Collins is real or not. Bill and Ted comes from an advertisement for the NES game of the film inside the only Spider-Man issue I'd read at the time - an issue of Web of Spider-Man I'd got from Oxfam in 2007/2008 for a pound, featuring this villain the Slasher.
Ian and Babara (sic, "Barbara") are lifted straight from An Unearthly Child, though this time as 2008 policemen (sic, "Police Officers" for political correctness) and not 1963 teachers at Coal Hill. Chief Baker's name derives from Tom Baker.
12/25-ish watching the news is an oddly specific, and most likely untrue, figure. Charlote (sic, Charlotte) and her mother must be mentally ill, screaming over a non-major event like that.
I'm glad I didn't go with the crazy initial plot.
The Mystery of Class 6T
Tuesday 19th February 2008
L.O: Use openers and connectives in my story.
It was a dark winter's night and two young men, Bill and Ted were driving in a black van, wearing black clothes to Taverham Junior School.and They were trying to break into class 6T and put swearwords on the whiteboards and tables, steal all the children's work and books onto a fire and burn them, cut all the wires of electrical equitment so they can't be used any more, and much more havoc. However, they were stopped by the caretaker, Mr. Collins.
"Hey, you two, get out of here or i'll callth 999!" said Mr. Collins. The two men got out a shotgun from their pockets. "What? An ambulance for you?!" They pulled the trigger. Mr. Collins fell to the ground, with a heartbeat of 0. His blood spread down the car park, and a police car stopped to investigate.
"Hmm, Babra, it looks like we've got a mystery on her hand," said one of two Policemen: Ian. He sniffed the blood. "Hasen't been here long. They must not be far away. C'mon!" "Y'know, i've only just got this job! I haven't done this for ten years or so!" said Babara. "Stop being rude or you'll get fired by Cheif Baker!" shouted Ian.
The next evening, 12 of the children from 6T were watching the news. "Mum, when's dinner ready?" shouted a girl from 6T called Charlote to her mum. "6.20!" s Her mum shouted back. Charlote turned on the T.V. "Our top story tonight: Their has been a murder at TJS! Also, all the student's work has been burnt! "We arethery very sad this has happend," said headteacher Mr. Picke..." Charolate turned of the TV and screamed. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Her mother ran into the living room. "What's all the noise about sweetheart?" she asked. "Mmmy scchoool haaas been bbbrooken inntoo!" Charlote awnswered, being very afraid. Her mother screamed too. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" They turned the T.V back. on. "...onds. "We are very sad also that our students can't come back for at LEAST a week."
One week later, the young men, Bill and Ted were in prison: For LIFE. "I hate you, you ********!" shouted Bill. "You're the one who got the idea, *****!"
Plot
Two young men - try to break into class 6T. Get stopped by security cameras. 6T very sad. Police arrest the men but they fail out. Break into 6T again. Get life sentence in prision. Get abducted by aliens. Gets shot by a ray-gun. His family is very sad. They start mudering the people who work at the school and the prision.

Tim's Nightmare
Year Six English.
The censored swearing through alien sounds is hilarious. And, I believe it's the first story of mine to feature swearing. I swear the idea of raising a bridge through a lever comes from LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy. The stepping stones probably comes from regular holidays to the Lake District. I was pretty impressed through my usage of "half-submerged" (at the time).
"Shag" "Shite" "Crap" "Piss off" "Fuck" "Bastards"
Tim's Nightmare
He I ran down the corridoor, out of breath. Small red creatures were chasing after him me. "Shrag glashiteblahkratk!" it said, in alien, so, I couldn't understand a word he was saying. "Pisekrakroofff!" At the end of the corridoor I found an entrance to a forest. "fraucckkk!" another one said. "Bkrastrads!"
Next to the trees was ariver stream. There were some half-submerged stepping stones, but that was the only way accross. I saw a lever and pulled it. A bridge rose out of the water. The only problem was, there was one panel of wood left.
I screamed, and sunk rised out of my pillows. It was all a nightmare.

Going on a Cross Country Run (illustrated)
Year Six English.
Features three actual living people - me, my (stronger friendship at the time) friend Elliot, and our headteacher Mr. Pickering, and the actual location of my actual Middle/Junior School. By now, I'm thinking of 'E.T. The Extra Terrestial' (a film I have unbelievably not yet seen) at the sight of the name, instead of my cute blonde friend. This school will reappear in further English stories from Year Six. This is my second piece of prose, I believe, to feature death, and the first to feature human death. I'm not sure how prevalent the concept of death was in my Doctor Who scripts. Interestingly, this story features Kang and Kodos at the controls of the spaceship, a few years into my 'Simpsons' fandom.
Monday Tuesday 24th 25th September 2007
L.O: I can write a paragraph in a given genre.
Going on a Cross Country Run or Alien Olympics
I was running forever, on an on. A flash of light appeared. Aliens? Nah, it waspla just Elliott playing a trick wih with a torch. Or was it? The spaceship fell down and killed Mr. Pickering! The aliens came out, the ones from the Simpsons. I never knew they would be real.
