Sugar Smash Sam

By Josephine Wiliputri



Steven was always dragged to the supermarket with his dad, every Tuesday. He'd always wander off until his dad had finished. On this perticular Tuesday, Steven was feeling extremely tired, he'd been playing football in a tournament all day, he didn't feel like going shopping, he wanted to rest. As his dad went to find some baked beans, Steven stayed by the sugar, he enjoyed poking and squishing the bags, they were soft, but slightly heavy! Steven's legs ached, so he sat down on the cold, hard floor, since there were no seats. The floor's surprisingly comfertable, thought Steven, he picked up another bag of sugar and threw it up and down in the air. After about five minutes, Steven grew bored, he placed the bag on the ground and leant up against a shelf, his eyes slowly closed.
"Hey you"! A man's voice cried. Steven opened his eyes, the blurred figure was jumping up and down and pointing at him.
"Whaa", Steven mumbled. He had no idea what was going on. The man looked horrified, he held a mobile phone in his right hand, and a ladle which he'd just picked up in the other.
" I'm warnin' you", He screamed, " I'll hit you over the head with my weopon if you don't turn yourself in"! Steven stood up to find a long metal object had been hurled at his chest. Steven looked confused, he hadn't ever seen this man before!
"Look, I'm just a boy", Steven laughed. He scratched his head.
"I know who you are", the man bellowed, "You're sugar smash Sam, the kid who hits people with massive bags of sugar"! Steven really was confused now.
"Mr, my name's not Sam, I don't know what you're talking about", Steven yelled.
"You've hit Sophie over the head too many times, I'll get you for that", He roared, grabbing Steven by the collar. "That's why you weren't on last night! You escaped from the telly, but I'll shove you back in don't you worry, Police!" He growled.
"Wait here"! The strange man told Steven, he snorted at him and ran through the super market shouting for the police.
Steven rushed to find his dad, without being seen by the wacko. He saw him by the tills, Steven's dad was talking with the lady behind the counter.
"Dad", Steven Called, "We have to leave"! He screamed. "Now!" Steven pushed his dad through the big double doors and lead him to the car park.
"Really Steve, what's the rush?" His dad laughed. They both got into the car, and as they pulled out into the main road, Steven saw that weird man running after them.
"Well what do ya know!" Steven's dad Smiled, "It's your Uncle Louie, maybe we should give him a lift. Then again, he'll probably just go on and on about the telly. He's mad about those Supermarket programmes you know!" Steven slunk down into his chair. "Sugar Smash Sam?" He asked.
His dad nodded, "That's his favourite show!"
