Hi! My name is Jessica Fox, but people call me Jessy. I am from California. I know, right? Pretty cool. In the year 2009, I moved to Las Vegas, Nevada. You might have thought, "Wow, she gets to live in Nevada." But, I was not happy about it. I had to leave all my wonderful friends, and for a twelve year old, that was horrible. I cried in bed for nights while my Mom was trying to make me feel better. I started Las Vegas Public School, my teachers were mean and didn't like me. Kids were laughing at me when I passed by, they called me the newbie. In the middle of the terribly bad year, a boy came up to me. He told me his name was Todd Mizrke and if I needed a friend, he was there. One month later Todd and I were the best of friends.
August 31, 2009, my Mom died. We don't know how, but when I got home fro school she was on the floor not breathing. I didn't go to school for two weeks while friends and family dropped by. The whole time I was locked in my room. Todd came over every day with my homework. When I did go back to school everyone was nice to me, even the teachers. Only I was in a whole different world, the world that still had Mom in it. We were still in California, only Todd was there and all my old friends. I woke up from my daydream in the nurse's office. "What happened?" I asked. The nurse said, "You passed out." Then I stood up and left very quickly I have never passed out before. I ran my fingers through my long black hair. As I walked down the hall, my thoughts were a blur, I couldn't think straight.
Three years later I had more friends and Todd. Things were going great. My birthday was coming up June 22, turning 16. When my birthday arrived I was in the hospital with Dad and Todd. When the nurse came in she said I had brain cancer. I went to school with a scarf on my head. No one saw me, only Todd. He would hang with me every second. He would try to make me laugh like I used to everyday. When I got home, I went to my room. I did my homework and locked the door, then started crying. I knew soon my world would go blank, black like a midnight sky with no stars, no happiness, no smiling, no laughing, and no Todd. Before my Mom died she told me to live today happy because there may be no tomorrow.

THE THIRD FLOOR BEDROOM
It all happened when someone left the window open in the third floor bedroom. Johnny was brushing his teeth when he heard a strange noise almost like a window was open. He slowly set down his toothbrush and crept into the bedroom. He noticed the window was open and the drapes were ripped to shreds. He felt a cold chill down his spine when he felt those scrawny little hands with nails so razor sharp they could penetrate the skin with a mere poke.
He screamed and ran down the hall, down the spiral staircase and into the kitchen where he decided he was safe. He was wrong. He felt the hand again. He grabbed it, turned around, and saw Sam's smiling face right behind him.

THE BOOK
There once was a boy who had a book. Not a small book, not a big book, just a plain medium sized book. A book that he loved and cherished. One chilly morning, Maxwell (the boy) and his book went for a walk in the chilly park. Once he and his book got there, he started swinging on the swing. After that, he went to the slide, but when he got down to the ground, he realized that his precious book was not in his hands. So he went back to the swings, and back tot he top of the slide to see if he had put it there, but it was still not there. After that, he looked all around the park, but it wasn't anywhere!
Then he decided to go back home, without his book. On his lonely trip back, he saw a thing in the grass that looked like his book! As soon as he saw it, he ran toward it like a dog chasing a squirrel. Once he came closer to the mysterious object, he saw that it was not his book; it was a textbook that a student had thrown away so they could get out of doing their homework. Once he had figured out that it was not his book, he started crying. He started bawling. He started wanting his book more than ever in his entire life. He wanted that book more than anything he had ever wanted.
The he started for home. When he got there, his parents asked, "Maxwell, where is your book?"
Maxwell tilted his head down and quietly said, "I don't know. I lost it at the park."
Then his parents say in unison, "Why in the world would you do that?!"
After thinking about whether he should be very mad or sad, Maxwell replies, "I didn't mean to!!!"
His mother's response was, "What do you mean you didn't mean to? You just lost your most prized possession! How can you not be screaming your head off trying to find it?"
Then the tears started rolling down Maxwell's cheeks as soon as he heard them say it. "Well, fine, I'll go look for it again!"
Once the door closed, the parents ran to the window to see their only child go off, away from his home. They knew they should go after him, but they just watched, depressed.
After about forty five minutes, they went out looking for him. Once they got to the park, they could not find Maxwell anywhere! Then they started calling his name. No one answered. They realized that he had to be somewhere in the small town, so they kept looking. AFter about an hour, they decided to split up.
Before they did, Maxwell's Mother remembered that she had requested that when Maxwell was born, the surgeons would put a tracking device in his ears. She quickly pulled the remote that would lead them to their only son, out of her purse. There was a red dot where Maxwell was supposed to be. It glowed right next to where Maxwell's Mother and Father were standing, but when the mother looked up and turned around, she was no one but her husband.
Just then, a big gust of wind covered the park with chills. When she and her husband looked down, they saw a small earpiece that was blinking a red light. That also meant that their only son was missing. So they decided to go to the police.
Once they got there, she knocked on the door of the station, and instantly a man opened the heavy door and asked why they were there. In reply, she said, "My only son has gone missing!"
Then the officer went to go get the chief who said, "What's this I hear about a missing child?"
"My son is missing, chief!" exclaimed Mrs. Wilson, the mother of Maxwell.
Then the chief said, "Is this the first time you've lost him?"
"Yes." Mr. Wilson said.
"How long have you lived here?" asked the chief as he led them inside.
"We've lived here for twenty years and our son has been here for eleven years, since he is eleven years old." Mrs. Wilson told him.
"Well, then, he knows his way around town, right?" asked the chief.
"Yes, he knows his way around town, so we have nothing to worry about, right?" Mrs. Wilson replied.
Then they all started to look in the park again. After they spent fifteen minutes searching, they started looking for him in the house, and when they looked in his room, there sat Maxwell holding his book tightly.
When his parents walked in, they instantly asked, "Where did you find your book?"
Maxwell replied, "I found it right at the top of the slide, but in the corner of the floor."
Then his parents hugged him harder than he had ever been hugged in his entire life. After he was almost robbed of his last breath of air, they let go. That's how Maxwell Wilson found his beloved book.

My Puppy That's Fat
Hello, my name is Jack. I am obsessed with fat dogs and I am very sad today. It all started 4 years ago. I kept bugging my parents to get a dog for me. At last my parents say when you get home there will be a dog for you. So I went to school and all day I was thinking of a fast, thin, excited dog. So after school, on the bus, I was imagining what kind of dog my parents will get me. Then I get off the bus, run inside, and see a fat dog laying on the floor, upside down. At first it felt like I was about to cry, but later at dinner I realized how cute my wiener dog is. Oh yea, I forgot to tell you, it's a fat, fat, wiener dog. So over the years I realized how cute my puppy is and I wanted it to get even fatter. So I feed it more food. About a week ago, we took our dog to the vet for it's yearly check up, but they found something wrong. This wiener dog is 70 pounds, when it's supposed to be 10 pounds.

THE LOSER CLUB
I slowly ate my cereal because I knew that I would have to go to school and face...them. Every day that I went to school, I was teased by them about anything they felt was wrong with me. It could be my shoes, my hair, anything. I don't even know what I did to them. As soon as I started middle school, they attacked me.
I was walking to my first period class when...
"Hey, check it out. It's the captain of the Loser Club! How many times do I have to tell you, Olivia? Stay out of my way!"
That was Collette, or Cloe for short. I call her Collette just to bug her.
"Stop bugging me, Collette!" I said.
"Don't call me that! You know that I absolutely hate that name! Call me Cloe or I'll make your life miserable."
"Well, it doesn't matter because you already are making my life miserable!"
"Well, how about we all make your life miserable?"
Then, Collette's two "friends" came around the corner. They're Michelle and Rachel.
"Yeah! Let's make her so miserable that she will have to stay home and away from school!" exclaimed Rachel.
"No, no, no. That's not necessary." said Michelle.
She's the nice one, but she doesn't act that way around the other two.
"Yeah. Michelle is right. That's a little too miserable, but we can make it to where she is afraid to leave her first class and go to her next classes," said Collette.
*Rrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiinnnnnnnnggggggggg!*
"Oh, come on! We have to get to first period or we'll get detention...again. See you, Loser!" yelled Collette as she ran the wrong hallway. I ran into my class just as the last bell rang.
"Almost late again, Miss Goldfield," Ms. Chamber, my teacher, said.
"Sorry Ms. Chambers. Sorry for the delay!" I said dramatically, dropping my heavy books on my desk.
"Please don't do it again," said Ms. Chambers.
"Yes, Ms. Chambers. I'm sorry."
"Alright class, let's talk math."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I walked out of first period, terrified. I started running to my locker. Just as I had arrived, Collette, blocked my locker so I couldn't get into it.
"Oh?! Is somebody trying to put their books away?? I-"
"More like NOBODY!!!!" laughed Rachel.
I don't think you're going to, Loser," Collette said, while the others giggled. "Um..... Well, you have to go get your books or you'll be late and get DETENTION!!!!!!!!" I explained.
"We asked to go to the bathroom soon before the bell rang and really went to our lockers and got our books so we could trap you....here," explained Collette.
The school principal started walking down the hallway so Collette and her "crew" pretended they were just walking by. I escaped the rest of the day without anymore encounters. But on my walk home....
"Hey, captain of the Loser Club!! Where do you think you're going?? Michelle, go tease her while I talk to little Miss Blabbermouth over here!!" exclaimed Collette.
"Will do," said Michelle.
So, Michelle walked over to me and pulled me into an alley.
"Listen! Before you start teasing me or anything, let me just say something," I said. "Please just tell me why you guys hate me so much! I don't understand what I did to deserve this kind of torture. I can't even walk home without being ambushed by a group of...BULLIES!!!! It's unfair! Explain to me what I did wrong! Please!!!!!!"
"Don't worry. I'm not going to do anything to you! I don't even know why I'm in her "crew". I don't get it! She randomly chooses people in the halls to RUIN other people's lives!! She does the same thing for the victim. She'll go around and pick people who she can torture. I'm so sorry. I never would have done this except for the fact that if I didn't she would torture me more than she tortures you! Oh! I hear her coming. Think of something sad and start crying! Please!"
"How bad did you tease her?" asked Collette, with a smirk on her face. "Oh, I teased her a little. Not too bad though.," replied Michelle.
I ran to the corner of the dead end alley and pretended to cry until actual tears started coming out of my eyes.
"Well, you got her in the corner crying. I'd say you slapped her or something! You're amazing. Oh. We're going to have to look for a new crew member. I kicked Rachel out for talking to the principal and mentioning me torturing Olivia.
"Did you get into trouble?" asked Michelle.
"No, she didn't mention my name, just that she new me. Okay, time for some torture. Come here Olivia."
Not knowing what was going to happen next I walked over and Collette said......
"Now don't tell anyone what I'm doing to you or I'll do this every period, everyday, all year long."
Next, she slapped me in the face and kicked my ankle. I cried out in pain, grabbed my backpack, and started limping home.
"See you later, Captain Loser of the Loser Club. Oh! And don't forget, don't tell anyone!"
"Why did you do that? That was horrible! You're a cruel freak! I quit! I'm walking home with Olivia and never talking to you again! Wait up, Olivia!" exclaimed Michelle (I told you she was nice).
I turned around and saw MIchelle running towards me saying, "Wait up!" Then I looked behind her and saw Collette standing there with her mouth hanging open.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next day, I walked into school and there was NO Collette, but I still walked into the principal's office that afternoon.
"Hello, Ms. Goldfield. How are you today?" asked our principal, Mr. Rowe.
"Not awesome, but better. Collette Burn has been bulling me and slapped and kicked me in an alley yesterday, after school. She also teases me here in school," I explained.
Mr. Rowe looked like he would pass out. He was freaking out!!
"She did WHAT?!?! I can't believe it! Since it is Thursday, she will be suspended on Friday and might have other punishments. I can't believe that she would do such a thing! Thank you, Olivia, for telling me!! I'll see you later."
"Alright Mr. Rowe. Have a nice day."
I left feeling better now that I had told someone.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After that, I never really talked to Collette and she didn't talk to me either. I went the rest of my school years never talking to her, but now, at age 26, we talk all of the time. She said she was sorry and we became friends. Great friends.
If you are being bullied, tell a trusted adult. The bully could apologize and even become one of your best friends.

THE LAST OF THE ANNOYING ORANGE
Hi. I'm Pear. Yes, literally a pear. And my friends and I are going to tell you about the most annoying orange we ever met. It was late afternoon when an orange plopped right onto the counter. He started talking to us and wouldn't stop. We told him to quit but he wouldn't listen. So soon enough we all started to call him the "Annoying Orange." The orange always made fun of people.
Then the next day a big watermelon was plopped onto the kitchen counter. Afterwards the orange said, "Wow, you're huge and have big hips!" The watermelon replied, "I don't have big hips!" The annoying orange said, "Yes you do watermelon." "No I don't," said the watermelon. Then the annoying orange said, "Yes you do." Then the watermelon said, "Well if I have big hips then you're the size of a grape." Well that got the orange going. "So what, at least I don't have big hips, big hips, big hips, big hips!" Then the watermelon said, "Stop that!" "Big hips!" "STOP!" "Big hips, big hips, big hips, big hips, big hips!" "Why don't you shut up? The rumors are true, you are the most annoying orange in the world." So the annoying orange said, "Well at least I don't have big hips." "Stop saying I have big hips!!!" said the watermelon.
Finally something grabbed the annoying orange. It had tentacle type things that were grasping around the orange. Then it also had these weird lines on it. We all decided to call it the "hand." Anyway, it grabbed the orange and sliced him in half. Then it juiced the orange and that was the last anyone ever saw of the "Annoying Orange."

The Baseball Card
Prolouge
There was a baseball card, a Hank Aaron signed rookie card, and there were three kids that would kill for it. Jackson, Dwayne, and Brett. They were going to have a big battle for the card. Before I can tell you that, I have to tell you this.
Chapter 1
Jackson, Dwyane, and Brett were all friends who loved baseball. Jackson had a Willie Mays card. Dwayne had a George Brett card. Brett had the best of them all, a Babe Ruth card.
"Hey Brett, I'll trade you a Mamy Ramirez card for your Randy Johnson card," Dwayne asked.
"No way, Dude," Brett said.
"Dude, check it out!"
"What is it?"
What is the thing Brett saw? He saw a billboard for two brand-new baseball cards that just came out. A signed Hank Aaron rookie card and a David Ortiz signed rookie jersey card. Once Dwayne saw that billboard he said, "I call dibs on the David Ortiz card." Then Dwayne ran out the door.
Chapter 2
Once Dwayne got back, he said, "I got it. I got it!" Dwayne put the David Ortiz card in a thing of 1 inch thick glass. Then, he put it in a safe for extra protection. "One card left." Jackson said.
The Hank Aaron card is all the way in California. "We are going to have to get a car to get us all from Arizona to California," Brett said.
"Don't worry, guys, my Dad has a BMW he said I could borrow any time," Dwayne said. It took the trio 18 hours to get from Arizona to California. Once they got there, a guy on the side of the road gave them a map on how to get to the place where the baseball card was held at. Once they got there, twenty other people were waiting to get the card.
"Dang, man, the card doesn't come out for another 2 weeks," Jackson said.
"What do you guys want to do then?" Brett asked.
"I say we go to a baseball card store that's not this place," Dwayne suggested.
When they got to Greg's card store, they found a huge assortment of cards. When they went over to the display case, they couldn't believe their eyes.
It was a Dan Quisenberry signed card! They asked Greg how much it is and he said that is $520.00.
"I don't think we can buy it," said Brett.
"We can, we have $2,000 dollars," Jackson said.
Once they paid for the card, they went back to their car, but it wasn't there.
"Where did the car go?" Dwayne asked.
After they looked for the car for two hours, they went to the cafe that was right across the street. When they got in there, a news reporter asked them if they wanted to buy a Joe Dimaggio rookie card for $600.00.
"We'll take it," Brett decided.
"WAIT!!!" Jackson yelled.
"What is it?" Dwayne asked.
After they talked about it, they decided that they would buy the card.
Once they finished eating, they went to a hotel because it was 9:00pm. A bellhop asked them if they wanted to buy a Jackie Robinson jersey baseball card for $280.00.
"The Hank Aaron card costs $700.00," Jackson said.
"We'll still have enough to get the Hank Aaron card if we buy this card," Dwayne said.
So they bought the card and spent the night at the hotel. The next morning they went out to look at baseball card stores. When they bought the Jackie Robinson card, the bellhop gave them $1,200.00 for getting more cards. When they got to Bob's Bargains, he had a display case full of baseball cards. After they looked at all of the baseball cards, they found it.

THE MIRACLE BABY
When my baby sister was born, she had something wrong with her lungs. She had trouble breathing. She was in the hospital for a whole year! It was very hard for my family. The hospital that she was in said that they couldn't treat her anymore, so they had to transport her to a hospital in St. Louis.
The doctors at that hospital asked my Mom and Dad if they wanted her to die in their arms. That made my parents cry, but my Dad just said, "You get in that room and do everything you can do."
Before they did surgery on her, the doctors said to my parents that if they did the surgery that she would have a 97% chance of dying. After the surgery, the doctor said, "I'm sorry, but your daughter is perfectly fine."
She is fine now. She is the wildest kid I know now.

MIDDLE SCHOOL
There was a girl named Aleah. She was in 6th grade. She is really nervous about 7th grade. She was scared that she would forget what her locker code is, or forget where her classes are. But her brothers said, "Don't worry about it, it will be fine, you'll do great. You won't mess up on anything."
For people who are in 6th grade and going into 7th grade and you are scared about it, don't worry, you'll do great. I'm in 6th grade and I'm happy I'm going into 7th grade. Don't worry, you'll do great.

LOVE HURTS & ROCKS
Love is like rain drops.
It drops to the floor really fast.
Love is like a riot it goes by really slowly and hurts.
Love is like shoes you wear them and then you forget about them.
Love is beautiful, you think it's your shoes.
I'll be your Summer if you be my Winter.
If you like me or hate me,
I'll always shine.
Love does hurt & rock.

RUNAWAY CHILD
The year is 2573, my name is Allison, I am fourteen years old, and my parents are freaks. I am not joking, my mother has four legs and my Dad has three eyes. Crazy, I know but it's true, both my parents were born from real aliens. Everyone laughs at me because of my parents. Brianna is my only true friend because she doesn't laugh and she stands up for me. Right now I am just sitting in my room playing with my cat, Jesse. One second, my Mother has to tell me something.
Oh my gosh. Well, that was a fine howdy do. I just learned I am adopted by freaks! I go and ask my so called Mom where my real parents are and tells me they live in Paris, which is farther away than I live in Michigan. Yeah, I know they still have the same states and countries after all these years. My "Mom" also said that when I was born, they had to leave me in Michigan because a war was going on back home in Paris. After all of these years they haven't come for me! Then she tells me my real parents haven't come for me because they thought I would just be happy here. What were they thinking? That I would be happy? No way because I have been teased forever about my "parents." I mean they're nice but my fake Mom doesn't get what is going on in my life such as school, friends, and snobby girls.
Then my Dad just stares at the wall which is easy for him because he has three eyes. Next I came up with a plan to escape to Paris. I make a list of what I need: food, water, clothes, a passport, and money. I realize I will have to call my adoptive parents and visit them but I think it is time.
Another thing I had to plan was how I was going to tell my "parents." Then I decide I am going to leave in one week on Friday. "Dinner Time!" my Mom yells. MMM, I smell tacos. I love tacos. When I go downstairs I realize my Dad is home from work.
"Hey Dad," I said.
"Hi Allisaon," he said.
And that was the end of our conversation. Yep, very talkative Dad I have. I ate three tacos and they were so good. After dinner I went upstairs and finished my list. Wow I am so tired. Good night.

FALLOUT
Today I would like to welcome Nick to the blog. Nick wrote an interesting story about a bomb in the future. It is a very creative story that I enjoyed, and I'm sure you will too! He leaves us hanging, but that's okay, I still liked it! ENJOY!!!
The year is 2517. We're in a war with the Chinese. Vault (spelling?) decided to make Vaults considering that the Chinese have nuclear weapons when people hear that the bomb hit Washington they loaded people into the Vaults.
JACK
We were fortunate enough to reserve a place in a vault. We are going to Vault 101. Some people didn't reserve a spot and will probably die when the bombs go off.
400 YEARS LATER
NICK
Happy Birthday son, said Dad. Thanks, I said. The overseer Doc Holiday said every boy & girl are ten once in their life and they have responsibilities. So I present you with pipbay. This is like a computer on your wrist and Happy Bday. Then we took a picture...
8 YEARS LATER
Alarms go off. I wonder what's happening and one of my friends, Madison, walks up to me and says, "NIck, your Dad is gone. He said. He escaped the Vaults."
"What? No one has been in or out in 400 years, when my great, great, great Grandpa Jack was reserving a spot and how did he get out?" I said.
"I don't know and they killed Doctor Jackson," Madi said.
Doctor Jackson was one of my Dad's best friends and mine.
"Who did it?" said a group of guards. Because they think that helped your Dad get out.
"And, here's a gun if things get tricky and please, ifyou see my father please don't kill him."
"I"ll try, but if he tries to kill me, what should I do?"
"Kill him if he tries, but at least try not to."
"Ok."
I encountered lots of people but when I came upon the overseer, he tried. I ran. I got to the Vault door and it looked like a giant lug nut with no hole. There was the control panel. I saw the overseer and shot him in the leg to stop him.
I saw Madison. I said, "Good-bye." Maybe if things get better I would come back.
"Okay." said Madison. "I'll try to reach you on ham radio. Bye."
She closed the door as I went out. The outside was a tunnel. I found the door, I went out. The sun was so beautiful but I had to find somewhere to stay. I started following a road and saw what looked like an arena. I went up to the door and there was a robot. I asked, "What's your name? What is this place?"
"This is Megaton, and I'm deputy. Robo, go inside please."
"Okay" I said.
When I went inside I couldn't believe my eyes.
1. An Atomic Bomb.
2. People!
I can't believe there's people I went up to a man who looked like the sheriff. I asked, "Were you in a Vault?"
"Well, you don't want to know my name."
"Oh yeah, sorry. I'm nick, and I'm Sheriff Sims, Lucas Sims."
"What's up with that bomb?"
"Well, it's live and I guess some psychos worship it by they built the town, so be thankful for that."
"Yeah, I could defuse it."
"You could? Ok. I'll pay you 500 caps."
"Uh, what are caps?"
"They're just pop caps that you pay people.
"Oh, ok, I'll check it out."
When I got there, I opened a hatch. And, oh my gosh, noooo.

THE SECRET
"Why? I've known you for so long. You're my friend." I said to the slayer as he holds the stake in one hand and with a clenched fist. That night I almost ended it all, but first I must tell you what happened before.
1-The Lake
I was sitting under a tree, its been 2 months since I came here to this town of Gizley. My school was normal, you had your classes of people, nerds, jocks, outcasts, bullies, cheerleaders, goths, and well, me. I'm not normal to you but I'm normal to my kind...of vampires. I think of my friend as I mindlessly walk too close to the edge of the lakd and fall in, still thinking about him. His blood smelled like my favorite blood type AB Negative. I stay at the bottom of the lake before I see a hand pulling me up. I saw fangs, another vampire? It was...Shawn.
"Shawn, you're a vampire?"
"Yes, I am. Did you not know?"
I don't eat my lunch. I go to my locker and drink there. I look at Shawn too shocked to even imagine him, my own friend, a vampire. Before I could say anything else I felt a sharp pain in my neck.
"Don't you know that I'm a vampire too?! Hult!" I said.
"Yes, I know that. But vampire blood is always the best. When I found out another vampire was here I started hurting. Then you showed up. But don't worry, I only feed on vampires once a year, I don't kill them...most of the time."
It's been at least 4 minutes since he began, and I find myself beginning to fall into a sleep of which I might not return from.

THE JANITOR(?)
I'm walking to school with Joe. I asked him if he could spend the night. He said he'll call his parents at Study Hall. So I'm going to class right, and all the sudden I feel a sting in my leg. I fall to the ground. Wait! What happened? Crowded! I'm crowded!
I'm in the hospital. I already know because I see the doctors come in and tell me I've been shot in my left leg which I already knew. They said I could leave when I wanted.

ROSIE
Chapter 1
Rosie is my doggy. Rosie is 2 years old. Her birthday is September 26, but we were so excited! I didn't know I was getting a dog but when I saw some presents that said, "To: Puppy" then I screamed and went downstairs and saw a kennel. I opened the Kennel and and saw a little fur ball in the corner. I brought her upstairs to play but she just slept. I hope she is playful.

My Jamaican Trip
On June 21st, 2006, my family and I went to Kingston, Jamaica. We had to get up at 4:30 in the morning to catch our flight at 7:05. I was so tired! By the time we got to the KCI airport, it was almost 5:45. I had enough time to take another short nap. Not long after, we were boarding the airplane. I was only 7, so it was my first time riding in a plane. I was scared! The whole 5 hours I sat next to my brothers. My parents were in the seats next to us. We got to have so much pop! It was awesome! We got to watch 3 moves up in the 1st class seats! My Mom and Dad were bored out of their minds! I could tell. At around noon, we landed somewhere near Kingston. But it took 30 minutes to get there in a tiny plane. When we reached Kingston, we had to catch a van to take us to our hotel. Our hotel was huge! There were so many people from around the world! The day we got there it started pouring rain. So it was kind of boring. My brothers got to go to the game arcade while I got to sit in the room.
About an hour later, my brothers came back to the room. When Landon walked in, he was carrying a coconut. I asked him where he got it and he said he climbed a tree. I didn't believe him, so I rolled my eyes.
The next day, we got to go swimming in the Carribean Ocean! I saw crab everywhere! My Mom screamed everytime she saw one! Haha. It was funny! Soon we went back to the room and put our clothes on. We went to Bar-B-Que Island. Of course, I only wanted a hot dog with fries because I didn't want ribs. So I just got that! So that is really all we did for the last week.
On a Saturday morning we headed to the airport. I was made that we had to go home. But I was wanting to see my friends again! The end!

Intro
I sit and think. Think about the day when my life goes wrong and something happens. Something will never let me see the next minute, day, or even next year. Hi, I'm Kristen. Most people think Kristen Stewert because that is my last name. No, I'm not, nor ever, will be, Bella from "Twilight." I won't be bitten by Edward or saved by Jacob. I will just be my plain self. Hopefully.
Journal 2
It was a stormy night. Almost three weeks since the Quil bomb exploded. Twenty percent of the Earth's population was dead. Every one had to do something fast, or in an estimated 15 to 5 weeks, they'd all be dead. The only way to survive was to build domes. Not domes made of glass or metal. Domes made of Radon. Radon is a radioactive element that occurs in natural gas. The gas is produced by the radioactive decay of Radium, a metallic element found in nearly all soil and rocks. Thought it causes risks of Cancer, I was the only thing that can stop and kill the epidemic. Randon was mankind's only hope.

Chapter 1, The Super Bowl
It is the fourth quarter, 2 minutes left and we're down by a field goal. So we decided to do a runningback toss right. Oh, my name is Gavin, #20 for the Kansas City Chiefs. I've been playing for one year and right now I'm in the Super Bowl, so I rush to the right and get a 25 yard gain. Then coach Haley decides to go with a Hail Mary right to me, so I get it. I get a touchdown, then feel it. I broke my right leg, now we have ten seconds left. Kickoff, the kicker kicks, then they get it at the 55, 5 seconds left, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, we win!

THE FALLOUT ZONE
Bombs, explosions, devestation. I could hear screams from the people in my neighborhood from the inside of my family's bunker. The U.S. calls it The Fallout Zone; TFZ for short. We call it The Dead Zone, because that's all it is.
I don't know who-more accurately what-is causing this, I just know that they are killing off humans in this area. It's day 169 since they attacked. The U.S. is at Defcon 1, but they won't do anything to help fight off these things.

I don't know who-more accurately what-is causing this, I just know that they are killing off humans in this area. It's day 169 since they attacked. The U.S. is at Defcon 1, but they won't do anything to help fight off these things.

CATS SECRETS
You may think that cats are "nice and cuddly" but there you would be wrong. Each cat holds a dark secret about themselves. Most people don't know this or will ever find out about our secrets. Most indoor cats secret is that they are in gangs aagainst the outdoor cats. But you would never know it because they never get hurt. The indoor cats are more powerful and stronger and they leave no trace that they were outside. But they lack in what we outdoor cats have, numbers. We have more cats. Yeah, they may be powerful but we can over run you with our sheer numbers. Most fights are over turf and catnit. It does not usually cause fatalities but sometimes it does, but rarely most injuries are scratches and bites. Some lose part of an ear but that's not too common. But that's not their worst secret...

PAIN, PAIN, GO AWAY!!!
Where am I? Okay, I know where I am. I lied. I'm in a classroom. I'm looking at a grey kangaroo. Okay, that was only a part lie. I am looking at a kangaroo. Of course, it's a foot tall and stuff and sitting on a table. But it is a kangaroo. The only reason that I'm lying so much is because I'm trying to make this interesting because I don't know how. I guess I could go through my summer. Now that was interesting.
It was the 11th of July on a Sunday morning, I was getting ready to go to church. Recently everything on my body has been really kinda sore. And when I say everything, I mean everything. So I got out of bed that morning and was getting ready for church. Well we had to get going because it was 10:20 and church started at 11:00. My Dad had gone to church earlier with my two older brothers. So it was just me and my brother Ben and my Mom home. Well, I was in the Laundry Room getting my shoes on and my Mom was telling us to hurry up at the door. I got up and twisted wrong or something. I screamed a painful scream. My Mom said, "What's wrong?" Then I started to black out from the pain.
"Mom! Mom! I can't see!" is all I could say. I grabbed the wall and my head. My Mom came running down the hall. She told Ben to go get me a glass of water. He did, fast. I drank and put it on the washer. When my vision started coming back. Then I sat down on the rug. My Mom called my Dad and told him to come home. (During all of this, my back still hurt like crazy.) My back kept spazaming which, by the way, is what happened in the first place that made me start to pass out. That's when my Mom helped me down into a laying position. I'd have pain often. Pain and I'd scream like a six year old girl. It got so bad that literally every time I'd move a muscle, I would have a spasm. My back would arch up and I'd have a pain so big that I felt like I wanted to die. I'd stare up at the cereal on the shelf above and I told my Mom to just kill me it hurt that bad. I finally started to relax. My Mom was on the floor with me. That went on for a good twenty minutes, but it felt like hours. Finally, I heard the front door open.

Chicken!!!
Hey, I'm Fred. My two bestest friends in the whole wide world are Sr. Pepay Padro Puablo Petontay III, and Chavo. And we all like chicken! We are like tacos, but mostly chicken! One time Chavo, Sr. Pepay, and I saw a 50 foot chicken nugget!
It all started when Chavo said, "Hey, I want some chicken. Do you guys?"
"Yeah, I am in the mood for some chicken actually." Sr. Pepay and I say.
So, we go up to Mcdonalds and order the 50-piece chicken nuggets.
"We'd like to order the 50 piece Mcnugget." Sr. Pepay said.
But, Sr. Pepay is from Puerto Rico and has kind of an accent so it sounded like, "We'd like a 50-feet chicken nugget."
"Is that all?" the cashier said.
"Yes" Sr. Pepay said.
We sat down and they called us when our order was ready.
"Alright, here's your order." the cashier said. They got us our order and the box was huge!
"Well, it is 50 pieces." Chavo said. "The box has to be big."
"I know, but this box is like 50 feet!" I said, astounded. "But at least we know that it's at least 50 pieces in here."
"Man, this thing is heavy!" Chavo said.
"No, really? I didn't know!" I said, sarcastically.
We went home and were about to eat. We open the box and it was...a 50 feet Mcnugget! "A 50 feet Chicken nugget!" I say, shocked.
"Wow, this is awesome." Chavo says.
"I told you we shouldn't let Sr. Pepay order." I said, angrily.
"Well, I'm sorry." Chavo said, now getting mad at me.
"Hey! Hey! Shouldn't you people be happy! It's a 50 foot chicken nugget! This is amazing! So yeah, Chavo made me order. So yeah, I messed up the order! But, we all got something we never planned on getting, a 50 foot chicken nugget." Sr. Pepay exclaimed.
"That was an inspirational speech." Chavo said, with a tear rolling down his face.
"You're right." I say. We should all enjoy this chicken nugget." \
And that was the time we got a 50 foot chicken nugget. Peace out!

Chapter 1: The Ghost
I know someone is here with me, and I can feel it. Maybe even ahead of me or even on the other side of my bed. I just can imagine a tall guy. With some type of suit with a tall hat. With these big brown eyes staring right at me. I don't think I've seen the guy but he must be looking for me. He just stands there like he's going to hurt me. But when I soon look away at the time, he's gone. I have not heard of any hauntings at Mindfield Hall but I haven't talked to my grandparents since I arrived. I feel like someone's close behind me. And then a faint whisper says, "Hilary you have come. I have been looking for you."
"Who are you?"
"I'm..."
And then the whisper just disappeared like in a mist. I'm very frightened so I decide to tell my grandparents. I run as fast as I could, then to find that my grandparents are asleep in their room. I have a choice either to ruin their sleep and wake them, or I could just go back to my room and try to go to sleep. I decide to be polite and let them sleep. But I still feel frightened. I'm happy I brought a night light. That might not make me any less frightened, but it will work for tonight. I start walking to my room, but to find my blanket all ripped up in front of the door. Then to hear turning sound from the knob. The door opens. I walk in to see nothing. But when I go to the bed, I see a little china doll laying there. I pick it up then only to hear a faint "Noooo." I put it down, deciding to put my pajamas on, believing it was all a dream. I decided if I just close my eyes, I will open them in the morning and be back at home. I hop on to the bed and try to get the covers, but someone pushes me back and covers me themselves. I don't know who this person is, but I would like to know soon...
In the morning, I find myself right head to head with the same china doll. I jump from the bed covers and grab the doll. I was wrong it wasn't a dream. But what was this doll doing on my bed... I know I put it on the ground. I never picked it up to sleep with, and I never sleep walk. Maybe Grandpa and Grandma came in and were cleaning the room, and found the china doll, and put it on my bed. Or maybe...I decide not to think about ghosts, so I ran downstairs in my pajamas. When I run down the stairs, I accidentally brought the china doll. I decide to go back upstairs but my Grandpa heard me coming down, and wanted me to come give him a hug. I decide to put the doll behind my back, give him a hug, then tell him I have to use the restroom. So when I walk toward my Grandpa to give him a hug, but as soon as I was about to give him a hug, he asked me a question I didn't want him to ask.

The No-Title
There was once a boy with no title at all. He had no family, no friends, no belongings, no nothing. He was a whimp and a total nobody. No one dard to be around him because they couldn't care less. The boy would always try to get people's attention, but it was like he was invisible. Then one day he came across a miracle...
It was a cool summer night. No Name was lying on a bench in the park when he came across the miracle he couldn't ignore. Normally a person would've thought it was a vending machine but to No Name it was a lifetime opportunity. No Name ran to the machine, glad as ever. But he didn't have any money so he was about to cry. Before he was about to cry, he reached his hand down into the dispenser. He felt the bottom of the dispenser and a tear ran down the boy's cheek.
All of a sudden he hears the popping noise a wrapper makes and a smile creeps onto his face. He pulls it off so fast he hits his eye with the end of a srapper. Then he tears the paper open and looks at the title of the bar so he knows what he's getting himself into.
When he glanced at it, the bar read, "Almond Joy." He figured nothing bad would happen if it had joy in the title so he took a bite. Then another. Then another. Pretty soon the whole bar was gone. Butr when he looks up, the whole world is different.
He is sitting on a bed in warm pajamas. Suddenly a woman walks in and says, "Time for school, Joy." The boy was amazed, and his life couldn't have been better since that night.

The Haunting
Marcus loved visiting his great-grandmother and especially because his cousins lived near by. His family was rich, millions and billions of dollars went to his family after his grandfather founded motown records and then turned into Universal Motown Records. His great grandmother just recently died so Marcus and his famnily went to her family. His Dad, an executive always was checking his Blackberry, iphone, Android, and whatever other phone he had. His great-grandmother live in a house in a rurual area in Michigan in 1947. But they built a nicer one blocks away. There were always things to do and his brothers and polenty of space. The next day was the funeral his great-grandmother was carried in a White Rolls-Royce Hearse and bunch of other Rolls-Royce behind it.
When they got back to the house they were talking about the house.
"Hey, you guys hear about the rumor about the old house?" asked Maurice, Marcus' older brother.
"What are you talking about? Nothing's happened over there." said Marcus.
"Oh no, that old house has been around since like 1832." said Maurice.
"He's right and I'll prove it to you there's a rumor that there are ghosts there and we're going to find out." said his cousin Michelle.
"How?" asked Marcus.
"You know there's a ghost shop in Detroit and I have a little friend and it's name is Master Card all we have to do is buy equipmentand we set up a bunch of cameras and recorders and we spend the night there," said Michelle.
"Sounds like a plan you in Marcus?" asked Maurice.
"Yeah, alright." replied Marcus.
So they got their jackets and got in the car and left. They blew thousands of dollars of equipment like voice recorders, cameras, voice recorders, etc, etc. First they would be locked down overnight and Maurice would be the camera man and they would set up cameras in all the rooms that they thought might contain spirits. So that night they rounded up all of their cousins while the adults were asleep. But the good thing was is that the adults were asleep because there was a get-together that morning so they all stood outside and then they would have a heck of a journey. They opened the door and they saw the creepiest thing they've ever seen in their life.

Home
My sister's phone rang. She answered it. When she said "bye" she told me "Your old foster parents told me they don't want you anymore."
"Great, I don't like them," I replied.
"Well, since you're not safe here, I'll have to call the foster care place."
"Why can't I stay here?"
"Olivia, you're not safe here."
"But, Kate, what if they're mean?"
"I'll make sure they're not."
"Fine."
Later that night, Katie called foster care. They said they will call around to find a good place for me. That night all I could think of was leaving and not having Katie in my life. When I fell asleep I dreampt of being sent to a mean place where I had to clean a lot and didn't get fed.
When I woke up I went downstairs. I found a note that said, "Hey! I went to Wal-Mart to get food. Be back in a few. Love, Katie."
"Wow, now I'm all alone." I whisper to myself.
While she's gone I decide to take a look around the house.
I go upstairs and see her room. It's full of art, books, and a beautiful painting of a garden. In the middle is a red bed. And the wall's tomato red. I go to the book case by her bed. A book labeled painting caught my eye. I reached for the book and pulled. BAM!
I walk in a whole new room. I looked for a door, that there wasn't one. All the walls were gray.
What! To my left was a slide like the one at playgrounds. I walked over and sat down on the slide, and went down.
At the bottom was another stupid gray wall room. But this one had a little tunnel. I got on my knees and started crawling down the tunnel.
At the end was another gray room.
In this one was another gray room. In this one there were ten yellow doors, numbered one through ten. I went to 8 and opened it. I walked in. BANG!
The door closed behind me. Then locked.
The end of book 3.

56 Seconds
I was waiting there just thinking, are we going to win or will we lose? Then our coach came in and said,"This is your last game for most of you. This is the biggest one of your life. We will win!"
Then he told us to line up. When we were walking in line I heard the announcer say, "Now, here's your Lee's Summit Tigers!"
We won the coin toss. We decided to kick.
We kicked it and it was a booming kick! It went three years into the touchdown area. They were only able to take it 19 yards. The defense went out, they got 6 yards but they had to punt it.
First and second quarter went by. 14-12. We were winning. Third quarter went by and now it's 14 to 15. During the fourth quarter, they scored one touchdown, but we blocked the field goal.
When we recover the ball, coach said, "Offense, on the field!"
He told me the play. Their were 56 seconds to go. We were at the 49 yard line. Our side threw it again and we gained 21 yards. We have 38 yards to go and 27 seconds. We ran it another 17 yards, 31 yards to go. Then we ran 15 yards. Then we have 5 seconds to go. We scored a touchdown with 2 seconds to score we were down by 1. My coach decided to go for two. A quarterback sneak up the middle.
When we lined up, my heart was pounding. It felt like two hours went by but only 2 seconds went by. I yelled, "Hike" I jumped and then everyone was on top of me. The refs were yelling for players to get one of me about a minute late. When it was just me, the ref signaled "touchdown."
Then the reporters swarmed me! They were asking me questions about how it feels to be State Champions. Then I went to college for MU. Then I played for the Chiefs and I was put in the NFL's Hall of Fame for throwing the most yards ever thrown.

THE DEVIL OF THE DEAD
Chapter 1
A man stands in the middle of a cemetery. It was only a second later when a portal appears, that some man stepping on the rough, hard ground surrounded by graves. The place is surrounded by spider webs. Here the spiders can call home to one of these graves never disturbed. Until now. The man walks silently almost floating along. His face his hidden by a dar cape making his body look like the shadows creeping along tows of burial sites. One, a head sticks out, there is no flesh but just the skull of the dead. Not buried right is the problem. The silentless man steps into the middle of the graveyard. Suddenly a flash of energy is glowing from the man's hands. He holds them out. Suddenly a lighting form is shot out of the hands of the silent Man. It shoots out, crashing into graves. Then it is silent as it was before. Then, you can hear the digging and scratching of human bones digging its way out of the Earth. Soon the sound spreads. Human limbs are poking out of the graves. A sound of moaning erupts through the graveyard. The moaning is the sound of zombies awakening from their long sleep. Two red, beady eyes show from the dark cape. The man whispers, "The dead has risen again!"
Chapter 2
Rriiinnngg! The sound of the school bell ringsinto Tom's ears. He sits up, looking around. Everyone leaves and Tom hurries with them. "I must've dozed off!" though Tom. His least favorite subject was Social Studies. Their teacher was Mrs. Fredrickson. Miss. F. was a boring teacher! She loved history but not the students. Everybody dozes off because Miss. F. has a bad case of going on and on about a subject. She could keep talking for the whole class time. The only good thing about Miss. F. is since she talks so much that she doesn't hand out homework a lot so that was good!
Tom had no friends, nobody to look up to. He walked down the hall silently only his footsteps echo through the empty hallway. He's always the last one because everyone rushes out and starts talking about having a sleepover, talking about who's dating who, and all the gossip stuff. Tom has to walk three blocks to get home. HIs school, For Middle School, happens just to be two blocks in front of the cemetery. At school, kids say it's haunted, and no one walks near it. But Tom knew it was just a myth, because he'll walk right along the cemetery fence. Kids will stare at him at a long distance. They think Tom will be snatched through the fence by live zombies and skeletons. That's why no one walks with him. He steps out of the school doors and starts taking his walking route.
Tom turns to go on the second block where the cemetery is. People call the cemetery the "Screeching Cemetery." They call the cemetery this name because of the weird screeching noises from the cemetery. Tom doesn't care. He just considers it's just crows or bats that has screeching issues. When Tom turns a big truck passes by. Tom waits until the end of the truck moves along. Tom peers over the truck to find police cars at Ford County Cemetery. That's the real name. Police men were guarding the entrance. Tom ran along the fence, his backpack thumping against his back.
A policeman steps in front of Tom. "Whoa! Stop right there young man."
Tom asks, "What happened here?"
He was just looking around. There were holds surrounded by huge piles of dirt. Tom couldn't tell but he thought he saw skeletal like footprints everywhere on the other side of the fence.
"What happened?," Tom asked again to the policeman.
""We're pretty sure it was a massive grave robbery," the Policeman answers. "We're thinking around eighty out of a hundred bodies were stolen."
"Why would people take other people's dead bodies?" Tom asks.
"Clothes, jewelry, shoes, coffins, gold teeth.", says the policeman.
"For what?"
"To sell it, wear it."
"You better get home boy."
Then the policeman walks away. Just then a truck followed by a van drives past and into the cemetery parking lot. Tom read what it said on the side of the truck:
FORD FBI: Federal Bureau of Investigation.
"Whoa!" Tom then read the side of the van:

A man stands in the middle of a cemetery. It was only a second later when a portal appears, that some man stepping on the rough, hard ground surrounded by graves. The place is surrounded by spider webs. Here the spiders can call home to one of these graves never disturbed. Until now. The man walks silently almost floating along. His face his hidden by a dar cape making his body look like the shadows creeping along tows of burial sites. One, a head sticks out, there is no flesh but just the skull of the dead. Not buried right is the problem. The silentless man steps into the middle of the graveyard. Suddenly a flash of energy is glowing from the man's hands. He holds them out.

HE'S DEAD!
He was just a regular night guard. Someone who loved their job and now he's running, hiding, trying not to get killed. I've been out of work for four weeks and I still feel like I'm being watched. That day it came, it was in a small old dusty brown wooden box, but all that was in it was an antique necklace and of course, I'm going to try it on for a little while. But right before I did, I started to hear little tiny voices in my head. I thought I was going crazy, insane. But the weird thing is the voices wouldn't stop repeating, "Do it, Do it, Do it!" The only way to stop them was to put it on. I started yelling and my head wouldn't stop pounding once I put the necklace on I couldn't take it off. I needed to put it away, hide it somewhere but it locked on my neck. The next thing I remember was being in the back of an ambulance and then I blacked out when I woke up again the voices were back telling me to go back to the museum.
When I returned back to the museum the voices told me I was being cursed and out of all the people in this world, why me? Now, I only regret putting that necklace on!
The next morning I found myself floating in mid-air, and as soon as I freaked out, I started spinning and spinning and then finally I stopped and I fell. But I never felt my hands or feet touch the bed instead I looked down and all I could see was a deep, dark, black hole and I wouldn't stop falling it was like a hole that never ended. I was scared, my eyes were getting red and watery, my vision started to get blurry, I was nervous that my life would be over. I would never see or speak to my family ever again. All I was thinking of at that moment, at that second, was how am I ever going to get out of this hole?
That was the problem, I couldn't find anything that would take me out of the sewage smelling hole, and that's when I realized. I was in the sewer! Now, that I think about it, I feel gross. I mean I'm in a sewer. Finally, I can to an open pot-hole. I climbed up the ladder and I found myself to be in the basement of the museum. After that, I was a little freaked out. When I finally got the necklace off of my neck I safely put it back in the wooden box and put it in the sewer, locked up the pot hole, and when I started to walk away, it felt like I was having a heart attack.
Later, that morning, some of the workers found me lying on the floor in a pool of my own blood. So that was the last shift that John the night guard ever had, and that was also the end of his life.

CHAPTER 1
Hey, my name is Kevin. I am 15 years old. I don't got to school because I'm homeless. My Mom left me in an alley when I was seven. I still remember that day like it was yesterday. I've had to kill mice, rats, and birds for food. Sometimes, I've even had to steal food from stores just to eat. I take baths in streams that I can find. I have no friends and no help.
One day when it was dark outside, a couple of police officers recognized me from grocery store video cameras. They told me to stop but I didn't listen. If they caught me I might have to go to prison. So, I just kept on taking sharp turns until they lost me. It wasn't that hard to lose them. They had to have been 30 years older than me. I ended up at some food store that I've never seen in my life. It felt like I didn't belong there or something. So, I decided that I would have to figure out why.
When I walked in, I didn't recognize anything. Everything was yellow and red and by the menu there was a huge "M". There was a really freaky Clown that was walking around the store. When I decided that there was nothing wrong with the store I started walking out, but the same police officers that were chasing me were about to walk through the front door! I started running for the bathroom. The cops saw me and started chasing me again. I locked the door and climbed out the window. I started running for the alley. I didn't care if they followed me, let them. That just means I will keep on running until I'm safe.

GONE WILD
So this is how it started. I was only 8 years old. I was on my first vacation. I went to the Grand Canyon. It was all fun and all until I got lost. My parents had left me. So there I was by myself. I meet a couple friends on the road. They may not have been alive but many they were something.
6 YEARS LATER
I've been on the road for about, well, I can't remember. Something amazing happened. A meteor fell right out of the sky. So I was on the road again but I had a new friend, me and my meteor. Then I came across a little town they called Coster Town. And then he said to his Meteor, "I would never sell you but lets see how much you are for a laugh." So he walked into the store and it wasn't a meteor at all. It was well, you know, how the airplanes, never mind, it was a sloge ball of frozen poop from an airplane, so ya.
10 YEARS LATER.
I am 20 now. It is great because I met a girl named Brandy. She was wonderful. But when her Dad came home he was really mad a train ran over his foot. So I left and moved on but I will never forget her.
So I got a job. It was called a dentist but I was an advertiser but one day the wind pick up this blimp. Well, it ended up me being in it and it took me all the way to Alaska. Then to a place called West Virginia. When I got a job being a janitor and know I"m talking on this really weird radio station that's asking weird questions.
10 YEARS LATER.
The Big 30, that's what I am now. I am still looking for my parents. "Hello Joe, it's your mama, come home." My Mom, it's actually you! "Yep." It happened! I finally found my Mom. Right here, right now, over the radio. I am on my way home to my Mom. All of these years I'M ON MY WAY MAMA!!!
I am back on the road again. I saw my old friends again. When he got to his Mom's house he ran inside like he was Spongebob. "I'm ready. I'm ready to see my Mama." Haha He thought it was his Mama. What. Hi. Joe you stole my girl. Now you stole Brandy from me and I told you I was gonna get you back at you for that. Now Pooh crunch crackle.
5 DAYS LATER.
I'm on the road again. On my face I can't get up until bank. I hear a gun shot. Well I thought it was but it was an old rustbucket that drove by. He stopped and helped me get up. I figured out that I had 8 broken fingers, a broken toe, 1 arm, one leg, and 2 ribs, 1 black eye, bloody lip, and I lost 5 teeth but it doesn't hurt. I can't feel a thing.

Mr. Baldy
Now, Mr. Baldy is my next-door neighbor. Oah, he's no ordinary neighbor, well, first of all, he's bald. Second of all, he's tall. Third of all, well, he's just plain weird. One Thanksgiving morning he walked over to my house & gave us a lama. Then he said "Happy Kawnza" in a different language. You know how everyone eats turkey on Thanksgiving? Well, he gave us a lama! He is crazy, I tell you!
Oah, and on Christmas he gave us a wal-mart bag with a price tag on it. See what I'm saying? Now it's Valentine's Day & who knows what he'll do.
Oah, my pickle! Guess what I just saw? Mr. Baldy is running around in an orange jumpsuit. I forgot that Mr. Baldy got in jail. He stole my neighbor's wrench! Now he's singing really horribly. He's saying, "I love beef jerky!" Shortly after he started singing, I called 911.
"Hello, 911, how may we help you?" the lady said.
"Ya, so my neighbor is supposed to be in jail but instead he's running around in his orange jumpsuit singing, "I love beef jerky."
"Okay, thanks. We'll send someone to come get him now."
"Yeah, you better come soon," I said.
Once the police got here they couldn't catch him, so he ended up getting tazzed.
4 YEARS LATER
My life is a bit calmer now that Mr. Baldy moved to California after he got out of jail. Unfortunately, my parents said that someone's moving in the house that Mr. Baldy lived in & apparently he'd just gotten out of an insane asylum.

SAMMY!
I'm a normal girl, no special crushes, nothing . My name's Sammy. I'm in middle school, well, will be, it's Summer time right now, and I'm writing in this because maybe, just maybe, it could help me out, with you know, my LIFE. I'm new to this state, school, everything! Now I don't have friends! I'm a 12 year old girl living with her Dad. My Mom and Dad got divorced about a year ago. So now I live with my Dad. My Mom said, "I don't want her!" Those are her words exactly! So...I don't really think she likes me. So, that's why I'm writing in here!
It's the next day and I'm super tired, I didn't go to bed til 1 in the morning. I kept hearing things. Weird? I thought everything was okay, until I went downstairs and saw everything tipped over and backwards and our T.V. was missing! Just when I thought life was getting good, this happens! I wish I was a popular girl who has friends, but no I'm stuck with the worst life EVER!! All I ever wanted was a normal life, with parties, maybe a few friends, but no...I'm standing here with everything messed up and I don't even know if anything's missing other than the T.V.! I don't know a lot about this place, but I do know one thing, if I going to have a boyfriend by the end of the year, I will have to make some changes.
DAY 2
Okay, so I was going to get the mail, when I ran into this guy, his name is Anthony, after that, we talked for a while, I invited him in and he came! First we talked for awhile then he told me he lived next door! I thought for a minute then asked if he wanted to hangout later. He said, "Yeah. You seem really cool!" So, yeah, that totally made my day! I'm so happty, but I doubt anything's going to happen between us.
DAY 3
Me and Anthony hung out today! And he asked me to go to the movies later tonight!!! I said yes, of course!
DAY 3 (After movie)
OMG! Anthony put his arm around me, and asked me out! I said sure, tryin' to act cool. So, Ahh! I'm so happy!

HIGHLIGHT OF MY LIFE!
It was 8:00pm. I was in my room on the floor with my pink zebra blanket, in front of my TV. My Mom had made me smore's with hot cocoa. It was cold outside and show on the ground. I had pillows, camping chairs, and my tend downstairs in the guest room. Since it was cold, I decided to do it inside.
It was 9:00, I went downstairs. There was all the pillows, camping tent, and chairs. My tent was pink, blue, green, and orange. I took my camera with me also.
I went to sleep late. 3:00 late. I spent it like this, called all my friends, Jenna, Rachel, Maggy, and Stacy. Then I went across the street and ran Mrs. Halls doorbell and ran barefoot! So now I'm here writing, and I'm soooo tired.

Chapter 1
"Hey Mom? Mom? I'm home from school! Mom?" I yelled to her.
"Yes, Holly Jay?! Come up to the attic! I'm going through your Dad's old army stuff. You know small you were back then? Sweet memories!" my Mom told me.
Haha, I sorta blushed.
"Are you coming?" my Mom yelled. "You had something to tell me, right?"
"Oh, um, yeah. On my way." I replied.
"Mom?! What is happening? Why is everything shaking?"
"Don't worry! Run down the stairs fast and carefully. Then run out the door and stand on the driveway." she instructed me.
I did what she said. When everything stopped shaking my Mom ran out and hugged me to see if I was okay.
"Yeah, I"m fine, but what was that?" I asked curiously.
"It was an earthquake. Be careful, there might be an after-shock." Mom told me.
Suddenly I asked, "Mom, what's going to happen if the earthquakes keep hitting? And if we can't get shelter?"
"Sweety, I'm not sure."

Mr. Cucumber
June 5, 1999
Today was a rough day. My baby brother was eaten. He was only one gram at 2 centimeters tall. And 2 cucumber months old. Here's the story, we were having a wonderful day at the park (Which in the weird human being world is an egg carton.) But then my baby brother Joe got inside an egg, and then the carton opened, and a humongous hand reached in and grabbed the egg that Joe was in. Then we heard a soft cry and the heard the frying pan, the shrieking sound stopped and that's the last we heard from my now dead baby brother Joe.
June 8, 1999
Now I have none brothers and non sistas. Later we are going to visit the grocery store (in human world it is the trash can.), I will let you know how it goes! We saw the eggshell that Joe was in. It had a little green gooey stuff on it. We took a piece of the green part for memories of him. We keep it in a glass cage (A clear ring case.). We miss him so much.
June 10, 1999
Today we are going to have a funeral for Joe. We are going to have it in the park (egg cart) where he got taken away. We are about to go to it so I got to go.
June 11, 1999
The funeral was sad. But the president Mr. Lumper was there. Well, I got to go to bed, so bye. Peace out!

Now I have none brothers and non sistas. Later we are going to visit the grocery store (in human world it is the trash can.), I will let you know how it goes! We saw the eggshell that Joe was in. It had a little green gooey stuff on it. We took a piece of the green part for memories of him. We keep it in a glass cage (A clear ring case.). We miss him so much.
June 10, 1999
Today we are going to have a funeral for Joe. We are going to have it in the park (egg cart) where he got taken away. We are about to go to it so I got to go.
June 11, 1999
The funeral was sad. But the president Mr. Lumper was there. Well, I got to go to bed, so bye. Peace out!

DRAG 4: GUMBALL RALLY
I watched as the plow dug a hole in the ground ready to put the coffin in. All of a sudden a plump old lady came up to me and said, "He was a nice boy."
By now you probably already know that my brother died and we were having the funeral. I never said this but I have two other brothers, Monday who is 16, and Michael who is 34. When they found out what happened, they were mad. And not just any old person, it was me they were mad at. We were back in our small Missouri town called Hawk Eye. It's pretty close to Lee's Summit and Blue Springs.
My brother Michael is a high-end car salesman in L.A. and has a wife and kids. My brother Monty, however, oh please don't get me started on him. Anyway, he lives in a English Boarding School. Why, I have no idea but as long as he puts effort into his work and gets an education I'm okay with that.
I really feel for my Mom, my Dad went missing a few years back (we still haven't found him) so now she lost a child and her husband of 30 years. But my Mom lives close to Monty so she's not very lonely.
Getting back to the subject, I was waking to my Maybach and my brother Michael approached me and said, "I hate you more than ever before."
"What?" I replied.
"It's your fault Masford is gone so I expect you to go to jail for harboring a fugitive," said Michael.
"What's wrong with you? It was an accident. Obviously you don't understand that you college dropout," I said relentlessly. Michael snarled.
And then my Mother came and said, "Boys, Boys, stop it! You used to be so close," my Mother sighed.
"I gotta go" I said. And I left.
I sat around the house just waiting.
One day I decided I'd go to the gym. I worked out for two hours and I came back home, played basketball, and walked my two rotweilers. That night I got on the internet and I saw that the Gumball Rally was going to start in L.A. this year. I figured I'd go on a last run.
I ate at Thao with my wife and we agreed to on this trip. But the problem was that I didn't have a nice car. So two months before the race I went to Michael's car dealership and bought a brand-new Rolls-Royce Drophead Convertible and it was white and clean. I had spent over $300,000 on it and I was dumb enough to go to Platinum Motorsports to get it customized. I got Gumball Rally stickers and everything.
Finally the day came. We started in L.A. and drove through miles and miles and so far I was in first. We had good times and bad times. And then we were at our last stop. Me and Mercedes were neck and neck. I stepped on the gas and our engines roared. I had won! But then all of a sudden a million cop cards and a helicopter swarmed around me.
"Oh no" I thought to myself.

DRAG 3: 3X THE RUSH
I was driving with my brother Mcrazy down the L.A. highway in my bright red Ferrari F430 Spider. I spent a lot of my money on it. (I don't know why.)
Hey, my name is Mariott. (and yes, that's a weird name.) Before I was born, when my parents went out of town they always stayed at that Mariott. I was born there so that's what they named me. Anyway, you probably already know about my brother, he's been somewhere after he fled Miami. I told him not to stay with me, but he insisted. I'm a film director for a bunch of movies such as Men in Black II, and Pirates of the Caribbean 2. Now, I'm working as the Vice President of E!
I was driving really fast down the highway and I was drifting in and out of traffic. It started to get cloudy so I put the top up. I stepped on the gas again and I zipped and zoomed past different cars. I got on the highway and I lost control. It skidded and slid on the pavement and then I hit a wall and I woke up in a hospital. I was surprised that I wasn't in a bed. I was in a leather chair and my brother was lying on the bed. I called my chauffer and rode off in my Mayloach.
The next morning I didn't know what happened. It was like I had been dead the whole time. I decided to go on Rodeo D.R. and I spent almost $20,000. But nothing made me happy. I was late so I sat in front of the couch all of the sudden my wife walks in and says, "What happened Mariott?"
I sat there, blank.
"I've been looking for you all day" said my wife.
"Nothing happened, okay!" I said.
I got mad and stormed out of the room. I decided to go to the hospital and my wife came too. Oh, by the way, her name is Melissa.
I checked in and when we got into the room Melissa gasped and said, "What happened?"
"Car accident" I said.
We sat there.
I grabbed some dinner, and some food from ketchup.
Anyway, we sat and sat.
The next day my parents came.
One night while Melissa and I were sleep I was watching TV and I heard the flat line. I screamed for a nurse and we woke everyone up. They told us to leave the room. A couple of hours later, my brother Mcrazy was dead.

MY DOG DAISY
My dog Daisy has a very interesting personality. First of all, when the day starts, we let her outside. She always is stubborn and won't go down the steps. So we let her back in. So she goes nuts and plays with our other dog, Elvis. Elvis is 13 years old and Daisy's 8. And I forgot to tell you they are Boushons.
Well, after they come down, my Mom wakes up Aaron and I for school. So we get ready and my dog Daisy always wants us to rub her so we do. So when we leave she takes her musel and rubs it against us, and that means she either wants to eat or play. Sometimes she can eat her WHOLE bowl of food in 10 minutes because she is so fat. She weighs 23 pounds when she is only supposed to weigh 12 pounds. She is very obese.
So when we leave, she's in her cage until about 3. Then my brothers get home to take her out. She's been in the cage for a while so she goes nuts again. Then she calms down and she eats some more.
At about 4:20 Aaron and I get home and we play with her. Then it's time to eat dinner, then it's bed time. So, that's a day for my dog Daisy and her weird and fat personality.

Sarah's Story
Chapter 1: The Arrest
Hello, my name is Sally Storm. I live in Seattle, Washington. I go to South Park Middle School. My best friend's name is Avery, but she goes by Lily. Don't ask me why, but she does.
Lily is not a normal 15 year old. Her Dad is never around and Mom is always drink so most of the time when she comes to school she smells like alcohol 'cause her Mother drinks so much of it, it rubs off on Lily and she's got marks all over her face. That is if she even there. Her Mother has taken her out of school so many times she has flunked the seventh grade twice.
I have called the police multiple times, but they can never prove that she is the reason Lily has all of those scars on her face and she is hardly ever in school. The police finally got on my last nerve that they never even try to find evidence that Lily's Mom is doing all of these things to her. So, I said, "go over and watch for yourself, her Mom is drunk every" after I asked nicely for them to go over to Lily's house.
The police officer named Billy said, "That is no way for you to talk to a police officer."
"I'm surprised you even call yourself a police officer, because you sure don't act like one. Just sitting around here eating donuts all day wearing a uniform doesn't mean you're a police officer, well, at least not in my book." I said.
"You lady, come with me. That is no way to talk to a police officer," said Billy.
"There you go again calling yourself a police officer."
"Now, I am definitely not checking out your friend's house."
"This has nothing to do with Lily. Fine I'll just tell another police officer."
Chapter 2: The Car Ride
"Hey, what are you doing Sally? Calm down, you just need to get in the car and take a short ride down to juvenile detention center."
"Why? I didn't do anything."
"Yeah you did. You smart-mouthed an officer."
"I have to go to the Juvenile Detention Center for that. You ever heard of freedom of speech?"
"You didn't let me finish. You also killed someone," said Billy.
"No, I didn't" shouted Sally.
"Yes, you did it, says right here, Sally Storm had 1103," Billy exclaims.
"What's a 1103?" Sally asked.
"It means you murdered someone." Billy said.
"Then who did I murder?" Sally asked.
"That is confidential," said Billy.
"You're accusing me of this and I can't even know." Sally asked madly.
"I told you it was top secret any way we are here." says Billy.
Chapter 3: The Arrival
"You don't know, do you?" questioned Sally.
"Fine, I'll tell you who you killed even though you already know you killed her." Billy said.
"So, who is it?" Sally asked angrily.
"Oh, it's Luccinda Walker." Billy said.
"That's Lily's Mom and no, I would never kill Lily's Mom. Lily's my Best Friend. Is that why she wasn't at school this morning? Poor Lily." Sally said.
"Let's go inside. I need to check you in." said Billy. I didn't say anything. I was still in shock about Lily's Mom. As we walked in, I saw the front desk and on each side of the desk were two doors that were locked. I tried to see if there was anything else but I didn't see anything. I was still in shock and then at the front desk the guy that was talking to Billy had a name tag that said Logan Walker. I just stood there staring at his name, trying to process all of this information. When Billy said that I needed to come with him, I just stood there as if my brain was not connected to my feet anymore. That's when Billy came over and asked if I was alright.
I said, "no I'm not alright. Do I look alright?" Billy just looked at me then picked me up. I yelled at him to put me down I kicked and screamed, but he wouldn't let go, he just tightened his group around my waist.
Chapter 4: My Cell
When we got to my cell I see there is another boy, but he has his back turned so I can't see his face. When Billy opens the cell he walks in then sets me down then leaves. I ask the boy, "What's your name?"
The boy says, "Nathan."
"Nathan, have you been here very long?" I asked. Nathan just stood there and didn't say anything. I asked him, "Is there something wrong? Did I say something?"
Nathan answered, "Nothing's wrong, it was the past. There is nothing we can do to change it."
As he was saying that, I realized he was totally hot! Nathan said, "Quit looking at me like that."
I look up at that moment. He said, "What's your problem?"
That's when I heard a bell. It sounded like a school bell, but I think it was louder. I asked, "what's that?"
He said, "That means that they are coming around with our food for dinner..."
"Sally, my name is Sally."
"Oh, ok, well, Sally."
"What is for dinner?" Sally asked.
"Meatloaf." said Nathan.
"What do you do all day?" Sally asked.
Nathan said, "Nothing really. If we have a cell mate we talk with them but other than that, nothing."
"They don't even give you a book?" Sally asked.
"Well, sometimes, if we are lucky, but a lot of us can't even read." Nathan said.
"Can you read?" Sally asked Nathan.
"No" Nathan said, Shamely.
"Then on the days I can get a book I will teach you how to read" Sally said.
"You don't have to, it's not like I will ever get out of here." Nathan said.

THE SOLDIER
My name is Deven Boost. Well, first let's talk about my life. I have two kids named Bill and Nick. I also have a wife. Love my country so I decided to go into war. In Afghanistan. When I first got there I kinda new how to shoot a gun 'cause I was a big time hunter. But I am out of shape. So I was afraid of the hard workouts. First all of the new people were divided into teams. They put me in Team 4. My drill Sergeant was very mean. He was black and bald, he had brown eyes and he was ripped. Then I was knocked out.

Chapters 1 and 2
Chapter 1
Laying in bed I realized how good my life used to be. USED to be. I kept hearing that voice and number in my head. "133" the man in the T.V. kept saying. I knew my life was about to be a mess. It was going to be weapons, knives, jungles, and enemies. I would have the worst enemy of my life. It would be me and about 20 other men in my platoon against the N.V.A. and the Vietkong. I called up my Mother, telling her I loved her. She broke down crying, knowing that this is probably the last time I would talk to her. She hung up the phone. I chocked back a tear and gathered what I thought I needed. I got in my car, turned the ignition and headed off for base.
Chapter 2
I was surrounded by hundreds of men. We were on a chopper headed to the most dangerous place on Earth. "Alright men" our commanding officer said, "we're going to be dropped in an open field 800 miles from Cambodia's border. When we are on missions you are to remain with your platoon. If any one on this plane is caught deserting, Shoot 'em."
Suddenly the chopper's doors opened and we all stopped onto a grassy field. "Stencil" is what they called me. I was in charge of my platoon. My platoon consisted of 12 men. Me, houndog, Williams, Arrow, Fox, Trojan, Oho, Linden, Goose, Eyes, Shock, and Cross. The first night we went on a mission to search for NVA... Eyes was on point (Leader for group). We walked for three hours then decided to get some rest. "Oho, you take first shift," I said. "Why me?" "Because I told you!" "Man, I'm tired." "Why don't you take it cap-tain!" "Fox, hand me your knife. Let me ask you something Oho. Do you like your fingernails? "Yes, sir." "Well, if you want to keep them, I suggest you take watch!"

DR. PSYCHO!
Dr. Psycho (The Sequel to Dr. Baldy)
Hi. I'm back. Remember me? If not, I'm Jarahara from the Mr. Baldy book. Now you remember me? Good! You know the guy who moved in Mr. Baldy's house. Turns out...he's worse. I call him Dr. Psycho, but his real name is Vector Hamnut. He says he has a pet shark but I've seen it in the window and it looks like a fish bowl with a dead snail.
One day Dr. Psycho was in his backyard and he was in his speedo, with a rain hat on, snow boots, a rake, and a bag of potato chips. PSYCHO!
He has a huge toenail, it's green with purple polk-a-dots. It's gross.
Today he ran around his house holding his clock in his hand yelling, "noon time to go to my psychiatrist" over and over again. He doesn't have a car so after a while he ran down the street to his psychiatrist. When he came back he was crying, screaming "My psychiatrist kicked me out."
Finally I went into his house and locked him in the basement. I'm now psycho-free until he finds out that I really didn't lock the door.

THE HOUSE ON FIRST STREET
One night there were four children, Darla, Abby, Sean, and Zack. They were walking by an old, dark, abandoned house. First, one minute it was quiet and the next minute they heard trees whistling, barking coming from the basement, and screaming coming from the bedroom. So they decided to go up there and look through the window. Then Darla said, "Wait." She saw something on the ground. So she picked it up and it said, "Property redemn". Then she said "It looks spooky in there, I love spooky!" Shouted Sean, "Let's go in." "OK!" shouted Zach. So they stepped inside and the door slammed shut. Then, they turned around and Zack was gone. They heard a voice that said, "HaHaHa." "Run for the back door" shouted Abby. But it was already boarded up. Something appeared rocking back and forth she looked it was gone. She turned her head it appeared. After that they heard a scream they turned around Abby was gone. Sean you got us into this now get us out! shouted Darla.
"Me?" yelled Sean.
"Yes, you" Darla said.
"You all agreed!" said Sean.
"Fine just get us out of here!"
Penultimate Darla disappeared. Sean heard a voice that sounded exactly like Darla's voice turned around and Darla was gone. Sean ran as fast as he could and to the quickest place place he saw. He ran to the basement and Darla, Abby, and Zack were there tied up, and Sean saw a razor blade and he used it to untie them. The windows were boarded up but there was a hole in it so the neighbor's children heard them screaming and they went to get their parents and their parents got a pole and broke the window. Zack, Abby, Darla, and Sean all got safely to the parents, and went home and never went back ever again. The end.

CHEESE
Cheese is good in many opinions. Cheese comes from milk that comes from cows! I am writing about cheese because it's good. Cheese goes by many names and comes in different shapes and forms. For example: Cheese sticks, cheese burgers, cheese pizza, cheese bars. It's also dairy which is good for you. Now here is a story on cheesy man named Mr. Cheesey. Mr. Cheesey walked out of his house but first gave cheese to his pet mouse. The mouse is named (This is where you think, Cheese?) Weese. So Mr. Cheese went to work at (Insert your thoughts here) The Cheesecake Factory. Mr. Cheese works 6 hours a day, 4 days a week. When he goes home he eats his food item with cheese then sleeps. The End.

At Peace
As I lay amongst the autumn leaves,
Listening to the wind whistling through the treetops,
I am at peace
The sound of children laughing,
The smell of the wind fills my nostrils.
I am at peace.
The assurance of His presence fills my heart
I am at peace.

Phil, The Chicken that Tried to Cross the Road
Part III: He's Back? I Thought He was Dead!
It was dark and Phil was scared out of his feathers. He was trapped in a small confined space and he didn't know where he was. He was screaming at the top of his lungs, yet no one could hear him. He tried moving his wings around, but he couldn't make anything - anything at all - move. He even tried making the traditional chicken sound, bock-bock, but nobody could hear that, either.
Suddenly, he heard a sound to break the seemingly unending silence. It was the sound of digging-digging of a grave. Phil now knew where he was. He was in a chicken-sized coffin! Phil gathered his strength and pushed as hard as he could on the lid of the coffin.
Finally, he was able to push open the lid. With a cry of "Thank Bob I'm Free!" he jumped out of the vastly under-sized coffin and scared the fur and feathers off all of the collected animals.
"Wha..." I thought you were dead, Phil! Are you a ghost?" said Tom, the disabled alien from upstate New Jersey.
"What are you talkin' about? asked Phil. "I was just sleeping!"
Then, Phil asked, "Now, I got a question. Did I make it across?" As Phil should have guessed, there was a big collective "NO!" from the congregated animals. This puzzled Phil because he knew he was on the opposite side of the road from where he had started. Phil decided to voice his thoughts. "If I didn't make it across, then how come I'm standing here right now?"
"He may be a daredevil, but he certainly isn't that bright. His head's like an egg, and the yolk is the size of his brain," muttered Phil, the other disabled alien from upstate New Jersey.
Tom said, "Dude. Phil, you were run over by that haunted "The End of Your Days" funeral car. We had to carry your pretty much lifeless body from there to here. I suggested asking that stupid funeral car to do it, but most of the others didn't think that would be right. Don't you remember anything?"
"All I remember is getting about half way across the road then falling asleep because I was tired," said Phil.
Then Phil was struck with an idea. He ran to where a podium for speaking was set up. He spoke into the microphone like he wanted the whole world to hear. "Attention barn animals and disabled aliens from New Jersey! There is something I would like to say! As you well know, I attempted and, I guess, failed at crossing the road. I have just decided that, in 48 hours, I will try to cross the road again. I will also take the time to thank the Great Bob for freeing me from that claustrophobic coffin! Thank You, my furry and feathered friends, for supporting me. Now, I've got to get ready."

Phil, the Chicken that Tried to Cross the Road
Part 1: How He Got There
Phil was a daredevil. He did all the things the other chickens told him not to do. For example, the chickens once told Phil never to go anywhere near the Butcher's house. So, of course, Phil went in. He barely made it out with all his feathers!
One day, Phil decided to open a "dare" store because he was low on money. Everyone knew that Phil's idol was the legendary Bob, the chicken that crossed the road. So, the first dare someone paid him for was to be just like Bob-to cross the road. Phil said he would do it, but he'd have to get ready. He couldn't do it until Sunday.
Sunday came around. Phil was nervous. He hadn't gotten any sleep the night before and drank the strongest thing he could find, root beer. At 5:00am the typical rush hour started and Phil made his way from the farm to the sidewalk. What looked like all the animals within a 50 mile radius followed. A few were carrying a coffin.
Phil started to go through his "pre-dare" routine. He ran around the block (scaring tons of people; it took 15 minutes to shake the butcher.) Next, he took to the sky, flying better than any chicken ever had. He stayed in the sky for a whole five minutes before having to touch back down. Finally, one of his friends called out, "Stop stalling and cross the road, you scared old bird!" Phil stopped flapping his wings (to stretch, of course) and turned to face the road.

A NEW LIFE by Ashley, 6-W
I remember how life used to be. When there was real snow, real sunlight, and real stars. But now we're stuck with polluted skies, hologram suns, and black water, all because no one took care of the Earth when we had chance but I know it's my destiny to make the world the way it used to be. Hi, my name is Earth. I was born in 1968 but I traveled through time to 2068. My mission is to restore the Earth to its original health. I've been in 2068 for 38 years because my colony will not let me return until I complete my mission but the question that has left me stranded here for so many years is how? How do I make the world beautiful again if I have so little help? I don't know how much longer I"ll be here or when I'll return home. But, I do know one thing. My time is running out and pretty soon the world will just stop.

Mr. Mustache
Hi. I'm Joe. I'm going to tell you about my friend Mr. Mustache! His real name is Katie Colliflower. His parents thought he was a girl when he was born. Anyway, when Katie grew up, he had grown a ginormas mustache. It was 15,000 feet long. He was bald and had the smallest head. It didn't even look like he had a head. It was exactly 3 centimeters in diameter.
He walked to the store (His mustache was too long to fit in a car) and every step he took he either hit someone or knocked a building down with the giant thing under his nose. People got tired of having to rebuild buildings, helping people 24/7.
So one day an evil person snuck into Mr. Mustache's house when he was sleeping and shaved off his mustache! When he woke up the next morning his 15,000 long mustache was GONE! He was freaking out! Nothing that day felt normal. Mr. Mustache didn't like the feeling, so he grew his mustache out again. This time his mustache was 20,000 feet long! "Here we go again!" The townspeople said!

THE VERY STUFFY ROOM
I was led into a room by police officers. I was blindfolded so I couldn't see anything. When the hands gripped my blindfold, I was it was dark, but with a bright light. A voice said, "What do you know about this investigation?"
"What investigation?"
"You should know, you killed the kid."
"Who, John?"
"Yes, John."
"That was Carlos."
"Who's Carlos?"
"My friend."
A different voice said, "Ok guys, he's losing it, let's knock him out."
That's when the mask went on my face and I was out. The next I remembered was I was in the court house. "Well, what do we have here." said the Judge.
"We have a charge against this youngster for first degree murder," said the officer who interrogated me. "Well, first tell me what happened," the Judge said.
"I was just walking down the street when this kid named John walked up. He said something to my friends and then that's when I was Carlos walk in the room with his family. "That's when I shot him."
"Officer, arrest him, he is sentenced for life."
My Mom gave me one last kiss and hug, and I walked out of the room cuffed. When I entered the cop car the officer shoved me so hard I hit my head, and fell into the seat. It was late outside when I finally saw the penitentiary. In fact, I was so tired I fell asleep while they entered my information into their system.

STEEP, by Madison, 6-W
"Dad, don't, not now. You the only thing I have left and I'm too young for you to quit on me now." I sad, tears in my eyes, shaking liking crazy.
"Don't worry, Sweety. He'll be fine. Just come down" said the nurse, putting her hands on my shoulder.
If you're wondering what's going on, here it is. I'm Leslie Tomis. I'm fourteen and my Dad is Steven Tomis. We've been climbing ever since, well, Mom left. She never liked us climbing. She said it was too dangerous. I guess she was right...
So, getting back to my story, we went to go climb one of the tallest mountains in the World...Mount Everest. The air was thinning out and it was getting cloudier and we couldn't see a thing ten feet in front of us, which we could tell was bad. That's when it happened. That's why we are here and I hope this isn't the end.
Leslie, are you up? Wake up, someone wants to see you!
I wake up to see the nurse leaning over me. Her perfectly curled hair up in a bun and her bright white smile. She almost scared me.
"Leslie! Good, you're awake." she said with a smile again showing her bright smile. "Someone wants to see you."
I walked into my Dad's room and saw him sitting straight up, "Is this her?" my Dad said, looking confused and eager to find out. It scared me. I sat there staring straight at him and him staring straight at me.
"Yes, this is her. Your daughter Leslie." said the nurse gesturing me forward.
"Hi Dad." I said, rushing to give him a hug.
"Hi, Sweetheart." he said. "It's so good to see you!"
He pushed me back so he could observe everything. Kinda like Mom did before my first day of school. Ah, Mom. I miss her. He looked me over, my hair, eyes, mouth, clothes, shoes, everything. That's when he said...
"Man, you look like your Mother." he laughed.
I laughed too, so happy to see he was okay and that he started to remember me.
"Okay, well, let's leave your Dad to rest, you'll be able to see him later. I waved goodbye and she lead me out into the waiting room where it was cold and there was no Dad in sight.
"Don't worry, Sweety. He'll be fine. Just come down" said the nurse, putting her hands on my shoulder.
