Inside a life of a seed inside a watermelon

This week in writing we have been writing stories but in past tense. My story is inside a life of a seed inside a watermelon.
 I enjoyed thinking of what I seed inside a watermelon does, something I did well was add great information about the seeds inside a watermelon and something I could do better next time would be to add more descriptive words to make the reader more hooked in.  


Inside a life of a seed inside a watermelon

I was on the move in big watermelon, I smelt something and it was a very unpleasant smell. I realized I am on a stinky old truck that has been used for years. I had finally reached my destination at the supermarket, as I sat and waited on the shelf with nothing to do, but wait for the time to come, it became seconds, minutes then days, now I was feeling quite depressed because none of the customers had picked the watermelon that I was in up and put us in their trolley.

One day I woke up and I was moving, I realized that it was a human and he had scooped the the watermelon that I was in up with his two hands and into their trolley. You may be wondering what are my feelings at this stage, I am feeling quite excited because I could see the outside world and I know I would be put to good use. ( people would want to eat me )

I was currently now in the customers trolley, being pushed around from side to side and rolling back and forth. Finally we came this thing I had never seen before it looked like you put food on it and when you push a button the food comes to the packer I thought that was pretty cool. So off I go in a bag with my friend rockmelon and some of my old friends. What I was feeling now was really surprised  because, someone invented this thing to help the packers and something that will make it faster for the customers.

So now I was in a fruit bowl with my friends rockmelon, apple, orange, banana, pear, apricot and plum at the customer's house. After a few days the day finally came for the customer to cut the watermelon up and eat me, so my feelings right now were worried because when the customer cuts the watermelon up nobody knows if the customer who brought us is going to be nice, and cut the us with care or if they are not careful and they cut me the seed inside the watermelon. So the razor sharp knife started cutting into the watermelon and I kept saying to myself “please don't cut me, please don't cut me” and before I knew it the cutting part was over and it was on to the eating part.

The customer had cut the watermelon into slices,  He started to put the watermelon into his mouth, He stopped and started picking the black seeds inside the watermelon out and put them into the bin. At this stage I was thinking to myself why is he doing that you can eat the seeds but I discovered that he was a fussy eater.

As I sat at the bottom it the bin, I started to fall out and into this place that had lots of space, then I noticed it was a huge rubbish bin. I was sinking to the bottom when I started to slip out to the huge rubbish bin and into this space where I could clearly see the outside world. I started to move with lots of other foods that had been in that rubbish bin. The scene started to turn foggy. I tried to move around so I could see but it was happening but no luck because I couldn’t move, because I haven't got any limbs to help me.

I stopped and I tumbled down through my friends orange and banana’s peel along with some lawn clippings into a mysterious world that I had never seen before. I started rolling down a steep hill and I ended up in and really deep hole. Ever since then I have been trying to find my way out and it has been no use.
