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.

2013

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!

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.
