    Connor Whiteley

    Hello, I'm Connor Whiteley, I am an 18-year-old who loves to write creatively, and I wrote my Brownsea trilogy when I was 14 years old after I went to Brownsea Island on a scout camp. At the camp, I started to think about how all the broken tiles and pottery got there and somehow a trilogy got created.Moreover, I love writing fantasy and sci-fi novels because you’re only limited by your imagination.In addition, I'm was an Explorer Scout and I love camping, sailing and other outdoor activities as well as cooking.Furthermore, I do quite a bit of charity work as well. For example: in early 2018 I was a part of a youth panel which was involved in creating a report with research to try and get government funding for organised youth groups and through this panel. I was invited to Prince Charles’ 70th birthday party and how some of us got in the royal photograph.Finally, I am going to university and I hope to get my doctorate in clinical psychology in a few years.

      Bitter Air - Connor Whiteley

      BITTER AIR

      As his fingers wrapped around yet another of the small red cherries, Alwart felt its smooth shiny surface. He pulled the small cherry off the thick stem in front of him and threw it behind him. 

      A moment later, he heard the cherry land into the immense black metal container behind him along with the thousands of other cherries. 

      Turning his head side to side, he clocked the line of workers either side of him in their disgusting peasant ovals. All of them were pointlessly and repetitively clicking the cherries and throwing them behind them. All waiting for them to land in the container before picking yet another. 

      Alwart knew this was stupid. All these people were just pointless dull-minded slaves. Doing the exact same thing each and every day and today was no different. 

      Well, Alwart was going to change that hopefully. 

      With the sun beaming down on the workers, Alwart's neck started
