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.
Recording over. 169th time.
Recording started. 170th time.
Food is running out, we're starting to get sick. I think me and my brother Jake will have to go to look for...bang!

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.
"Great, I don't like them," I replied.
"Well, since you're not safe here, I'll have to call the foster care place."

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:
Missouri CSI: Crime Scene Investigation
