One hot summer, me and Sara was playing outside when say invite me to a sleepover at her house. Since, I never want to her house, I decide to go. After, our play date I want to my dad begging him to let me spend the night at my friend’s house. My dad finally say yes!! I ran so fast upstairs to my room that I almost break my leg. I just walk it off, then I want to pack my bag. Sara was so excited too, that she was screaming so loud in my ear. Finally, my dad want to drop us at Sara’s house. I kiss my dad goodbye and I want off to the most amazing moment of my life.

First, there was a whale, then a scream, and then complete silence. It all started seven years ago when my family and I were all sitting down at a restaurant. My mom had just gotten back from helping deliver babies in Haiti because they had just been hit by a massive hurricane that devastated villages all over the country. We were all sitting down chatting and catching up when my mom said, “Liam, Julian, I have something to tell you guys!” Our heads whipped towards her, our eyes gleaming with wonder, “what could it be?” We both thought, our minds flipping through all the possibilities as if we were searching through a book for the most logical possibility. “Are we moving? No, that can’t be it...getting a new car! No, wait, I got it! We’re going on a trip...yeah a trip that must be it!” “What is it!” My brother and I both shouted in unison. All the heads in the room slowly turned towards us but we payed no attention, we were too curious and impatient to care. We leaned forward in our seats bracing ourselves for the upcoming news. I looked at my mom's lips, searching for the words that would momentarily be formed from them. The world around me froze for an instant that seemed like an eternity. I heard, “I’m having...” I did not need to hear any more. The walls began to close in on me, my heart started to pound on me as if it were knocking on it so I would let it out. I was confused but excited, scared, but amazed, my face was shifting between emotions as if it was made of clay

Beep!!! BEEP!!!! BEEEEEEEEEEP! Yelled my alarm clock.I slam my hand down to cease the intolerable noise. “Honey it's time to wake up” yelled my mom from downstairs.I jump out of bed and start getting ready for school, I throw on a t-shirt and jeans and went to school. When I got there I meet up at the water fountain with my best friend his name was Matthew. “Hey, Bella , did you see Gertrude she been going around telling everyone she a witch and will attack anyone who doubts her, but i don't believe her,” said Matthew. “ That girls weird I dare you to go up to her and tell her that you don't believe her. “ she won't do it Matthew says you're too chicken but right when he turns around to go to class I walk down the hall and stand right next to Gertrude. I tap on her shoulder to get her attention and without hesitation, he leaps from his stance and joins me. Right, when he gets to me she turns around and I say “I don't believe you…and what are you going to do about it?”. She yells at the top of her lungs “I WILL DO THIS!” she points at Matthew and me but nothing happens. Everyone in the hall starts laughing “that's what I thought ,you're a fake” I say. Gertrude smiles a devilish grin and turns down the hall. Something in my stomach starts to turn but I just shake it off and go to class with Matthew on my side. We go through the school day like this morning didn't happen. Everything was normal, the bell rang I left class and got into my car then went home from school, I took a

The fat lady said, “Hello Martin” as the elevator door slams shut, and leaving them alone.

It was a nice summer day, my 5-year-old son Sam was playing outside in the backyard of our suburban home. Sam has always been a quiet boy, he plays by himself mostly, he never had many friends, but he has always had a wild imagination. I was in the kitchen feeding our dog Dakota, when I heard what sounded like Sam talking to someone in the backyard. I’m not sure who it was he could be talking to, could he have finally made a friend? Being a single mom it’s hard for me to always keep an eye on my son, so I decided to go outside and check on him. When I went into the backyard I was a bit confused, because Sam was the only person back there. Was he talking to himself? I could have sworn I heard another voice. “Sam! It’s time to come inside.” I called out to him. He came inside and sat down at the kitchen table, it was about lunchtime so I decided to make him a sandwich. “Sam. Who were you talking to out there?” I asked. Sam looked up for a moment, “I was playing with my new friend,” he said smiling. I poured him some milk and continued to pry, as any good mother would. “Does your friend have a name? Why didn’t you ask him to have lunch with us?” I asked. Sam stared at me for a moment before replying, “His name is Funny Man.” I was a bit taken back by what he had said. “Oh? That’s a strange name. What does your friend look like?” I asked a bit confused. “He’s a clown. He has long hair and a big swirly cone nose. He’s got long arms, with stripy socks, and he always smiles.” I

This is the story of a girl and her siblings trying to help her family that they never knew about before to find a missing parent, that they thought was on a business trip.

Linda entered Melina’s room and saw the note she left. She was heartbroken. Crying from her mistakes and realizing what she should have done. Went to find Melina all alone to not track attention to others. Melina walks to the opera and hiding her trails. She was alone in the dark night and trying to find her way. It was difficult to see where she was headed. Instead of walking around in circles she stayed put and slept in a alley just for tonight. Morning came and Melina was up. Found the opera and entered.

“I can beat you in a race to the house.” said my 5 year old brother Liam as he got off the bus. “Oh yeah, well let's find out.” I said. We started running, my brother was running full speed and I was jogging so he could beat me. We got to our nice house in Chicago and we went inside to get a snack and a drink. Then my Mom and Dad came home and said that we were going out to eat tonight then going to Dave and Busters. My Dad helped me on some of the games that way I could get a lot of prizes. I figured something was up so I asked him why he was being helpful to me and my brother on the games and took us out to eat and everything. (because he doesn’t like to go to eat very much during the week when we have stuff to do at home) “Well bud” he said. “You know how you said you didn’t want to move.” “Yeah” I said. “This time we have to move.” said my Dad. My jaw dropped and so did my brothers. “Where are we going.” said Liam. “We have to go to California for your Dad’s job.” my Mom replied. “But, but, my friends and my life here.” “I’m sorry.” my Dad cut in. The ride back home was silent in the truck. Nobody knew what to say to each other. Laying in bed that night I knew that my Mom and Dad already felt really bad so I didn’t want to make it worse. So the next morning I told my brother that he needed to be happy when we leave and not be so sad. He didn’t really listen to me so today he was really mad and crying when we were packing up our house. We finally got

It had been several hours since the incident at the clinic. The children were asleep in the bungalow lit by the faded yellowish red hues of the fire light. Perfecto had been awake for the longest time contemplating the next step. He didn’t want to deal with the looming presence of things to come, like the aftershocks of an earthquake. More than anything he wanted to leave and start again.

Arriving at Frank’s apartment, Marlene hesitated, to get out of the car and asked, “Why are they punishing me?” She went up the long walkway running alongside the old, red-brick apartment building, opening the door, she stepped inside the foyer and started sobbing, “I'm not going to do this, right now he is the last person, I want to see.” Rushing to her car and went home.

The sun was blazing in the sky, it was a warm summer afternoon and my sister and I were home alone, waiting for my parents to come home from work. In the ten minutes of them arriving, there was another gentle knock on the door followed by a very unusually quiet and seemingly humble voice.

My lip was bulging as blood mixed with salty tears. The metallic taste was filling the gap that was left on my face. The gap felt rough whenever I touched it in the slightest bit. Slowly and painfully, it turned red, then purple and then back to my normal skin tone which, almost made me pass out like Sleeping Beauty. My lip felt like there were arrows going into my mouth and out my throat. I let out a high pitch scream that woke up all of humanity. Everything after that was a blur. I didn’t understand what was happening. I looked like the cousin of Joker and I talked funny just like him. Maybe, I could have been his twin sister rather than his cousin. I will explain everything, it time.

Lilith laying on the ground helplessly on the side of the road had just woken up from an eventful night. But the problem was, she has no clue what happened. Beep! “Ahhhhh… where am I, and why am I lying on the ground?” she said puzzled. Getting up slowly she pulled out her phone and called the nearest taxi driver.
