Title: The Curse of the Cluck
It started with a sneeze and a dog barking.
I’d just woken up, groggy and cold, and was dragging myself to the bathroom when a sneeze caught me off guard. At the exact same time, a neighbor’s dog let out a sharp bark from the street below.
And then it happened.
“CLUCK!”
The sound burst from my mouth—loud, sharp, undeniably… chicken-like.
I stood there, frozen, toothbrush in hand, staring at my reflection in the mirror. My eyes were still half-lidded with sleep, but the noise had jolted me fully awake. I laughed nervously.
Did I just make that sound?
I tried to brush it off. Maybe it was a fluke. Maybe my throat had done something weird. But then, later that morning, as I stepped outside, a breeze blew through the trees at the same moment my phone buzzed in my pocket.
“CLUCK!”
This time I dropped my coffee.
By lunchtime, I’d clucked three more times. Always when two random things happened at once. A door slammed as a car honked. A pen fell just as someone hiccupped. And each time, a chicken noise exploded from my mouth like my soul was trying to escape the barnyard.
By the afternoon, I was panicking.
What was happening to me?
I stood in the middle of my office bathroom, gripping the sink, my face flushed. My heart was racing. This wasn’t funny anymore. It wasn’t cute or quirky. It was horrifying.
“Please,” I whispered to myself. “Please just stop.”
But it didn’t. Because the world is full of coincidences. Constant, stupid, meaningless coincidences. And now, every single one of them was pulling a chicken noise from deep inside me like I was some kind of cursed toy.
“CLUCK!” I blurted in the middle of a Zoom meeting when someone sneezed and a siren wailed outside.
Everyone froze. A few people laughed. One guy turned off his camera.
I muted myself and wanted to cry.
That night, I lay awake, eyes open in the dark, listening to every creak of the apartment, every hum of the fridge, dreading the next moment when two things would happen at once and my body would betray me again.
“Why this?” I whispered to no one. “Why me?”
But no answer came. Just a moth tapping against the window screen. And somewhere in the distance, two fireworks popped at the same time.
“CLUCK!” I sobbed.
Eventually, I stopped fighting it. What else could I do?
I began warning people. “Hi, I have a condition where I involuntarily make chicken noises during coincidences.” Most thought I was joking—until they witnessed it. I became a walking, talking cosmic joke. A meme. “The Coincidence Clucker.”
And slowly, something shifted. I stopped being embarrassed. I started leaning into it. Schools invited me to talk about absurdity. I even did a TEDx talk, clucking halfway through. The crowd laughed, but it wasn’t cruel. It was kind. Compassionate.
It’s still hard, of course. I’d trade it in a heartbeat for invisibility, or even the ability to talk to worms. But this is mine. My strange, stupid, inconvenient gift.
I am the Clucker. And this is my life.
“CLUCK!”

A, harsh, buzzing sound sliced though the chirps of the blur humming birds.
I slapped the alarm clock with full force. 7:50. As i turned to open the curtains my alarm clock popped its legs out and started pacing around my feet.
Was i dreaming?, i pinched myself hard to check if i was dreaming.
As soon as i touched the curtain the the curtain started darting around my room like a ghost.
I packed my bag then suddenly my bag ran off towards the market.
I was preparing of the worst for school.
What if i accidentally touched the school then the school turned in the directions of the sky scrapers .
I would definitely be suspended from school for life.

My dreams slapped me in the face for the eighth time. Wait, that wasn’t my dreams, that was my dog kicking my head. “Lets get you some breakfast shall we?” Barking with excitement, James barked loudly in his ear. “Come on James. Ow! Why can’t I wow! This is in convenient. I can’t stand without falling. How will I get to work? Wait, I don’t have work today. Well that’s a relief. I will just have to slide on the floor. Come on James.” I went to get cereal. How was I meant to get cereal if it was on the highest shelf! This not a super power, it is a stupid power. “Where is James. Now I have to find him and I can’t walk.”

Short one:
It all started one summer’s morning. The morning I would remember. Beads of sweat as big as pearls were coming down my face as I groaned.
“No water then, I guess?”, said my sister, her voice dripping with sarcasm.
Then came the shock. I expected to scream at my sister but then a piercing, shrilling scream cut through the air and shards of glass were flying through the air. My sister looked at me in horror and cried out for help as blood trickled down her knee.
As I marched through the streets in the gloomy weather soaked in the rain I suddenly spotted a black umbrella. I hesitated weather to take it or not but the weather left me no choice. I sternly picked the umbrella up as my vision blurred I rubbed my eyes once I opened them i was in the cherry-red realm. I cautiously stepped back and i dropped the umbrella quickly. My vision blurred and everything was restored I decided to leave the umbrella where I had found it.

“Ah! Ah! Ah Choo!” Looking in the mirror I saw a green carrot-looking monster! When I got to
school, everyone ran away from me like I was a wild pig! That was the saddest moment in my
11-year life! Then I realised that I ate carrots and pickles all the time! I stopped eating carrots
and pickles and after a week it stopped happening! Everyone was friends with me again! I told a
joke to my friends. “What do you call a blind dinosaur?”
“What?” They questioned.
“A do-you-think-he-saw-us.” I replied giggling.

Title: The curse
As I was walking to the forest I saw a grey gloomy bottle staring at me, I refused to grab the bottle but then I thought it might have a use. I used the bottle to store water until I found my way home. The sun started to set and I had no sign of reaching home, I didn’t know what to do! I sat down near a dress shop and slept there for the night, with thirst I used the bottle to drink as soon as a drop went into my mouth I started dancing with the bottle, it was so unusual! I don’t know how to dance, and I was shocked, I was dancing pretty well. I tried to stop dancing but I didn’t know how to so I kept dancing but I thought this was no use just dancing so I shout out loud and said “PAY ME TO STOP DANCING” I thought nobody would pay me but a lot of people did pay me, I was suprised. I made $500 in total. I used te $500 to buy some food new clothing and paying people to get me back home.

THE UNEXPCTED COUGH SYMPTOMS
“ACHOO!”, I roared plummeting an unbounding cacophony of sock pickles that flabbergasted its appearance with my old ragged unwashed socks from the underground laundry. Each sock pickle, growing it’s pumping flavours, dripping with the tenderness of dirty mines. I dunk my hands in the nefariously crafted Italian hues, where each bite inched me to appreciate or violate this one time and only experience. Each intricate stroke of the herbal in the mouldy sang the chorus of my sneeze as I blasted another one off my nose. The unhealthy pickles fermented with speckles of dappled sock fragments of the unhealthy now finally tasted like the symptoms of dysgeusia.

A Hairy Predicament
Leo woke up on his twelfth birthday, a jolt of pure, unadulterated excitement coursing through him. Today was the day, the day that would forever alter the course of his life. For months, his friends had been counting down, their own powers already revealed and enthusiastically put to use. Leo was the last of their tight-knit group to turn twelve, the final puzzle piece in their collective superpower adventure. In Cambell Town, it was an unbreakable tradition: every citizen’s twelfth birthday culminated in the discovery of an amazing, life-changing power. The air in the town was always thick with anticipation as each child approached their special day, wondering what incredible ability awaited them.
Powers awaited! But first, a quick shower. He practically bounded into the bathroom, humming a jaunty tune as he stepped under the warm spray. As the water hit his stomach, a peculiar sensation began, a light tickle that quickly intensified. He looked down, his eyes widening in disbelief. Dark, wiry hair was sprouting across his belly, growing at an alarming, almost comical rate! It was thick, dense, and utterly shocking. Leo let out a high-pitched shriek, scrambling out of the shower as if the water itself had attacked him. He grabbed a towel, frantically drying himself off. To his astonishment, as his skin became completely dry, the bizarre hair receded just as quickly as it had appeared, vanishing completely as if it had never been there.
Confused and a little grossed out, Leo cautiously touched a wet washcloth to his stomach. Instantly, the dark, wiry hair returned, covering his belly in a furry carpet. He pulled the washcloth away, and like magic, the hair disappeared once more. This was it. This was his weird birthday superpower. He stared at his stomach, then at the innocent washcloth in his hand. He tried it again, dipping his finger in the sink and touching his stomach – poof, hair. He even, with a grimace, tried it over the toilet bowl – same result, instant stomach hair. Each time, the result was the same: contact with water meant an immediate, unwanted hair invasion.
“Great,” he muttered, his earlier excitement deflating like a punctured balloon. “Just great. The most inconvenient superpower ever conceived.” His grand plans for the day, particularly his much-anticipated birthday swim party, flashed through his mind and then promptly dissolved. How could he possibly go swimming when a dip in the pool would turn him into some kind of human badger? He imagined the looks, the gasps, the inevitable teasing. His friends, with their powers of flight, super speed, and telekinesis, would surely find his ability to grow stomach hair on demand less than impressive. A wave of disappointment washed over him, replacing the earlier buzz with a heavy sigh. This was not the life-changing power he had dreamed of. This was just… hairy.

BASH! The neighbour’s dog crashed through my door in a moment of seconds. With fear and panic I held the stick from the tip, throwing it in the opposite direction. I zoomed straight back to the house planning some new fencing.
The damage was crazy as our whole boundary was filled with cracks. Anger rushed down my throat as I squeezed my face back to hold the meltdown. I slowly touched the shattered pieces of fencing, when I then again noticed there were no cracks.
It was oddly strange, surprising! Maybe it was a dream I had awoken to, or It could be a special capability no one else had.
My mouth let out deep breaths as I slowly touched the fence. It was insane the way the cracks fixed like some invisible glue. A grin plastered right across my face. I was so happy and full of delightment.
Before I went to tell my mum about the exciting news, the neighbour’s dog appeared right in front of my eyes. My face started to sore up as I panicked again about it destroying the boundary. Oh then I almost forgot I have a secret power nobody knows about.
Of course I let my fear go and let it do whatever it wanted. While I admired my power I sat down and tested on a bowl. It was fully glass! At the same time I was scared and my throat gave me a bad signal. Then suddenly before I trusted myself it fell and shattered into different shapes. I touched one piece and then the whole thing came back.
It was marvelous, such an amazing thing like this! Instead of calling mum, I decided to fix everything I had broken in the past. There were plenty in the attic. One by one each got fixed with a single touch.
My face was sweaty in an amazing way. Oh boy, I hope I never lose an arm. I never have to worry about my phone rolling down the stairs. I was really happy but also kind of nervous. What if this was all a dream and none of this was true. I closed my eyes and opened them again making sure it wasn’t a dream. Thankfully it wasn’t a dream but it still kind of gave me the frights.
Hopefully by tomorrow I will realize if it’s a dream or not. When I looked outside, the dog had gone back to his own house. I peeked my eye through the neighbours. He was eating tofu.
I was really happy to see that I could fix almost anything except real life situations like missing a train. This power was a really fun one though. It never felt so good to destroy and break everything in the house I bought. Can’t wait to have even more fun tomorrow.
I had been gifted with an extraordinary power which I promised to use wisely and definitely not like a fool.

My Inconvenient Superpower
One morning, I woke up to a blaring sound ringing in my ear. When I opened my eyes, I saw my alarm clock with wheels was looking at me with the time being 7:59 am. I needed to hurry or else I would be late, and the sports coach would make me do 100 push-ups! I reached for the button on the top of the alarm, but before I could reach it, it zoomed around the house at lightning speed. Before it could cause any damage, I ran after it, but it was no use. While I was getting dragged around the room by an alarm clock with wheels, my arms started to stretch longer every step I took. After many attempts, I just let it go because I need to hurry to school. I was scared and drank some water, then my arm shrank back. I figured it out when I run my arms grow, and when I drink water, my arms go back to normal. At lunch, I was scared that if I ran, my powers would go off, so I needed to drink some water.
“I hope my water does not run out”, I said in my mind.
As lunch ended, our sports lesson started. We had to do a long run as a warmup, and this is the hard bit, but I thought of holding my bottle while running. When all of the bottle’s water ran out, I had to think of an idea quickly because all the students behind me would see my arms stretching and stretching. I began to run backwards, and I was expecting my arms to grow, but I didn’t, so I think when I run backwards, my arms will not stretch or expand.
I survived today, but what about tomorrow?

I woke up feeling… sticky.
At first, I blamed the summer heat. But when I reached for my alarm clock and it short-circuited in a sugary splash, I knew something was off.Apple juice. It was trickling out of my fingertips like a defective soda fountain. No pain, no warning—just sweet, tangy disaster with every gesture.By noon, I’d ruined a keyboard, three towels, and a very confused Uber driver’s passenger seat. Every surface I touched became a sticky memorial to my increasingly juicy predicament. I started carrying around a mop and a growing sense of existential dread.Was I cursed? Mutating? Secretly the heir to some forbidden fruit kingdom?I called my doctor. He referred me to a nutritionist, who referred me to a physicist, who hung up after I mentioned “syrupy excretions.” Finally, I found an online forum called Unusual Manifestations Anonymous. One user, CitrusSlinger88, suggested I might be undergoing a “fruitening”—a rare supernatural transformation that begins with juice… and ends with jam.Now I’m avoiding breakfast buffets and trying not to panic. My fingers drip with Granny Smith essence, my toes taste like cider, and if the forums are right, my final form may be a sentient strudel.

Title: The mysterious sock
Ding! Ding! Ding! I put my handball in my bag, when I realised a mysterious sock– it wasn’t there before. “How’d it get there?” I thought to myself.
“What are you waiting for?” My friends questioned me. “Come on. The bell rang.”
“I know, I’m coming!” I yelled back. I picked up the mysterious sock. “What the heck is this doing here?” I thought to myself.
“Are you coming or not?” My friends questioned. I put the sock back in my bag and walked up to class. I sat on my desk. I didn’t notice but I wasted a lot of time.
“Hello! Earth to Samuel! Earth to Samuel!” My teacher got impatient. “Samuel!”
“Y e a h ?” I said slowly.
“Are you paying attention?”
“W h a t ?”
“Are you paying attention!” She screamed impatiently.
“Of course!” I said still focusing on the mysterious sock I saw in my bag earlier.
At recess I got the mysterious sock out of my bag. I took a closer look then, “Samuel.”
“Ahhhhhh!” I quickly looked behind me.
“You fell for it. Ha!”
“It’s not funny!”
“It’s very funny!”
“Shut Up!”
“Okay.” On the way to class, I realised I lost the sock! At lunch I was finding the mysterious sock.
Then, “Samuel?”
“I’m not falling for it again!” Except my friends were nowhere to be seen! “Who was it then?” I thought. Just then, I saw the sock, except it was held by a demon! “Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!” Then I realised no-one was around me except for the demon! Then I got an idea. Maybe if I get the sock everything will be back to normal. Then I realised the demon was coming closer to me! “Wh-wh-what d-do y-you w-want?” I stammered in horror. “H-how do I g-go back to n-normal?”
“You’ll have to get the sock.” He answered robotically.
“You have it though.”
“Exactly!” It was a lot harder than I thought it would be. So much for a sock. I sneakily followed him. After a lot of sneaking and moving, I got to this fortress. I waited for the perfect time. There wasn’t a second to waste. I hid merely seconds before the guards came. Right next to me I saw a chest. Inside it was the sock!
“Well that was easy!” I thought to myself, except the guards saw me.
“Uh-oh!” I sprinted for my life. I held the sock for enough time to send me back to Earth!
It was a thunder storming day with lightning strikes stroke in Malevolent on the sky. As I was walking down the narrow hallway and into my classroom, something buzzed, it buzzed like a fly stuck in the blinds of a massive window. I was delayed in my classroom by thinking what was in the bag. The teacher told us to fetch our math books; I fetched something else. I fetched an old, rusty coin with ridiculous symbols of fire and a four-leaf clover. I asked the class if this was someone’s coin, but no one responded. I put the coin back into my soaked bag I wondered what would happen If I flipped the coin?
Me and my friends are going to find that at break time. Today was inside break time because of the thunderstorm outside. We carefully took the disruptive coin out of my soaking bag and then… A GRAB A TOSS A SPLAT. It landed on the fire symbol. Then My Bag went on fire, well not that much because my bag was fireproof. The smoke arose and headed directly for the fire alarm, making us evacuate. The school found the fire alarm was not genuine. We were back in class looking onto our history, everybody was focused because today was a test, but I was not focused on history, I was focused on the mysterious coin that triggered the fire alarm.
I flipped the coin another time and got the four leafed clover. “Test time, students,” said the teacher sensibly. I forgot I did not listen to the teacher because she was giving out tips. We had 5 minutes and 10 questions to answer. The teacher said that It was easy, so I think I can get high marks… This is not good the am still on the first question and there is 30 seconds left. I went for it; I guessed every question and thought my parents are going to get disappointed when I show my marks. In a flash we got our marks back. When I saw my marks, I was astonished, I got all of them right, I got 100%. I was superior with joy as I guessed everything and still got 100%, Hah, talk about luck. But seriously, what is about this coin. That night I sat on my new MacBook which I recently got because of the 100% on my history exam. Well, I took a photo and searched it up on the internet, but there were no matches.
As I was on my laptop I searched up these mysterious Symbols, the fire one means bad luck and also fire but the four leafed clover meant luck and joy embracing I got full marks on my test because flipped the coin and it landed on the four-leaf clover.
What would you do if you had a useless superpower?
