Workhouse Musician

  This week we have been working on writing. take a look at my make and please leave a comment.



Growing up in the age of industry in the city of London could be a miserable existence. Living in the workhouse and working every hour God sent sweating in the mill made Harry’s life difficult, dangerous and miserable. He had a dream that could change his life forever… Every single day Harry would wake up to the sound of chickens and one big rustor sitting on a fence. Harry got fed a piece of bread and went to go to his jobs for the whole day until bedtime. “HARRY!” yelled Mrs Corps, “Get up and wash off your first job is to grab all the washing and the washing bats for the ladies to beat”. Harry sighed and walked through the door, but just before he could take a foot out the door…”WAIT YOU FORGOT YOUR CHESE SILLY BOY” “But..” “No buts if you forget it you will have nothing to eat for dinner or lunch”. Harry grabbed the bag from Mrs Corps hands but before Mrs Corps could push Harry out the door he had rushed off to the laundry room for the ladies. On his way there he saw a big mansion that had broken down in a fire but was still stable for a human to live in and fix. Harry had to stay silent, anything he said to another person would be an extra job in the kitchen if Mrs Crops found out, He would have to make little puttings for the men down at the mining holes and chuck down the extra bread crust from the bread bin so they were happy for the day. He had a friend named Sinde and they cleaned the workhouse after coming back from their first jobs. Once he dropped off the laundry he ran to the work house and got the vacuum cleaner out for Sinde.”It’s a 2 person job and the maid is sick could you help me for today?” Said sinde as Harry’s heart was beating fast…”I would love to” said Harry. On there way to the Cafe Harry got the vacuum out and start to push the pump well Sinde started to clean the hard plank floors. “You will never guess what I found today” said Harry “What is it I want to know!” said Sinde. Harry stopped pumping and took a break. “Hh...I got a VIOLIN AND I'M SO HAPPY!” “Do you even know how to play yet?” said Sinde…”well” said Harry and they just kept cleaning. Near the end of the day Harry ran out the door to get the violin he found by the abandoned house. He put out his hat on the ground near the footpath and played from his heart...A woman came and a man then soon a whole crowd of people. “Look at him play”, “What a talent” said the people. His dream had come true. But what about Sinde, She was punished for not keeping her word, She promised to never be with Harry or talk to him again. She was put into a chamber...They had never met again. When Harry woke up after playing Sinde was nowhere to be found. He ran around the whole village to find her but she was nowhere to be seen. “WHERE COULD SHE BE!”, yelled Harry. “Where is she…”.
