What are these 8 stories about?

Having the wish to work on the plan of a sustainable town, we had to use a map. But creating a map from scratch would have been almost impossible, in the time given, so we decided to magically join our cities into one and create a new, imaginary sustainable town.

Two cities joined together?

How could that ever be possible?

Only the etwinning wizard could do it and here it is!

Eight groups of students, a wiki in our twinspace and “voilà”: eight collaboratively written chain stories!

In the end, all the participating students voted for their favorite one.

Enjoy the imagination of the students from Lycée Jean-Pierre Timbaud, Brétigny sur Orge, France and

1st EPAL Ierapetras, Ierapetra, Greece

Story No 2 GR-B24

A long time ago, there was a little girl named Chanel. She was born in Bretigny, France. Her parents died when she was nine, during a war. Some soldiers took her to Greece and she was forced to live with some orphan children in an old house in a small town in Greece named Ierapetra. Her older sister Elizabeth left France but no one knew where she was. Some years later, when Chanel was older, on Christmas days, she was sitting next to the window of her bedroom; watching the snow falling down and thinking about her biggest dream. She never had the chance to visit her home town and she knew she never would. Her only hope was the Christmas spirit....

Story No 4 GR-B57

Once upon a time there was a Greek king named Dionysius and a French king called Louis, who was born in Greece and knew the language. The French king wanted to conquer the Greek kingdom and join the two countries. The Greek king, who was living close to Ierapetra, didn’t want it. After many years of hatred and destruction, they thought of joining forces peacefully. Their children did not like their decision. However after years ....

FR-IR

The war continues between these 3 countries for 1000 years.

The president of Russia has invented a new kind of weapon: a bacteriological bomb. But this bomb didn't have the effect that the president wanted because the settings of the launcher were wrong and this big bomb changed every one between these 3 countries into mysterious creatures named zombies and if anyone was bitten by a zombie, he became one of these creatures. The United-States wanted to save this worldwide crisis and the army of the USA launched a big nuclear bomb to save the world of this invasion... This nuclear bomb killed all the zombies but the world was partially destroyed and France and Greece were one only country and the cities of Bretigny and Ierapetra are now one city limited by the railway.

After the earthquakes, John and his French girl went out of their house. The two characters were surprised because all of their city was metamorphosed. For John, nothing was here before the earthquake; for his friend too. The two main characters wondered where they were. The two cities were brought together. So, John and his French girl lived side by side. They walked out and they met in front of a super market.

They were surprised. The French girl directly recognized John and she jumped in his arm but John pushed back the French girl and said: Who are you? She told him about their story.

After many minutes, John recognized the girl but he said: I don't know who you are. He said this because, for John, the French girl had only been a pastime because John was bored in his home. So, he passed the girl and walked in the new town because the new city interested him more than his French girl.

He visited the new town and the French buildings, the new population...
