A Short Story : A Story?

“They’re probably around somewhere. “No.” She shook her head. “They’ve been missing for at least a half an hour. I thought they were climbing the hill…”Then we all froze. You can hear someone yelling. It sounded like it was coming from the church. “I’ll get them, don't worry!” I started running , a man caught my arm. “I'll get them, You kids stay out.” I jerked loose and ran on. All I could think about was that we started it. I through a rock at the window and pulled myself in. I took a deep breath and started coughing. “Where’s the kids?” “In the back I guess?” I hollered, we started stumbling through the church. The cinders and embers began falling on us. We pushed open the door to the back room and found four or five little kids, about eight or younger, huddled in a corner. One was screaming his head off, and Johnny yelled, “Shut up! We’re going to get you out!” He looked over his shoulder and saw that the door was blocked by flames, then we pushed open the window and tossed out the nearest kid. I picked up a kid and he bit me, but I leaned out the window and dropped him as gently as I could. I could hear Dally screaming at us. I picked up kids as fast as I could. The Roof was falling, I heard abruptly “Get out!”.

Lilly looked at the time on her watch and huffs out. "It took you forever." Lilly bitterly rolls her eyes, Keke shrugged and got out the outfit.

It was eleven thirty, and I still couldn’t fall asleep. I had been thinking it all over for hours and had finally reached the conclusion that we had to go. We just had to; I couldn’t come up with any sort of explanation as to why, other than I felt drawn to the adventure of it all. I jumped out of bed and flicked the light on. Penny jerked awake and looked at me with eyes half-open, her ponytail frizzy and lopsided.

I see the boy sitting behind me reading over my shoulder, so I snap my laptop shut. I hate writing in public, but I wanted to get some in during this long, boring flight. I’m having a bit of trouble getting across the setting of my story without it sounding like an information dump, so I wanted to figure out that on my long trip. But, I think with a sigh, I suppose that isn’t going to happen. The afternoon sun has painted the layer of clouds below me brilliant gold, so I lean my head against the window to look at the view.

I woke at dawn the sun early rising as me and my friend mia,and lala snuck out of our hotel room heading to one of the houses we saw as we drove around hawaii yesterday. We walked up a hill where the house sat overlooking the hawaiian beach.once we reached the top the house was there, it was small surrounded by palm trees as far as the eye can see ,it had a burned roof, broken windows, the white paint peeled off revealing red burnt brick, the lawn was burned ,but surprisingly the house was intact.”Dare you to go in.” Mia said nudging me forward “They say that this day ten years ago this place burned down with the owner’s little girl inside.They say he went back in to save her but she killed him when he did. They say if you light a match where they both died you’ll have the same faith as the father or little girl ” lala said pushing me a bit further. “Come on do you really believe that?” mia said arm crossed brow raised.”Eh, i believe anything.” lala said shrugging. I looked at the broken doorway that leads into the house, i turned back to them.”Fine but it’s gonna cost you,both of you.” mia and lala both shared the same smug grin that sent chills. “Ok. 50 dollars from both of us but you have to light the match to.” lala said as that smug grin became dark as she extended her arm, revealing the matches in her hand. I looked at the box of matches ‘’of course you bought the matches” i said taking them hesitantly. I walked towards the door paused at the entrance. I slowly walked

The voice died down and Arthur’s friends stood with jaws dropped, realizing that his story was not as false as they thought. Suddenly, a boat rose out of the river and began sailing away. The stunned silence was replaced by looks of excitement as they ran and jumped onto the rope ladder of their new ride. After climbing up they stood, panting and looked around the boat. It had a small cabin in the back with two rooms and a pantry stocked with all the food they could ever imagine. Realizing just how hungry they were, the group sat down on the deck and stuffed themselves. After the delicious meal, they retreated to their cabins, girls in one room and boys in the other. Arthur laid down, once again falling asleep to the gentle rocking of waves.

It all began with a simple phone call one Monday night after dinner. Lorenzo, my father hollered up the stairs, “it’s for you. It’s Alex, and he sounds anxious.” As I came downstairs to pick up the phone, I was curious, I was tired and had looked forward to a nice quiet evening at home, not another stupid adventure adventure with Alex. Thirty minutes later, however, Alex’s silver Mustang convertible swung into our driveway, and Alex was leaning on the horn before the car came to a full stop. Grabbing my coat from the couch, I walked out my front door with all enthusiasm as if I had a long-boring day of school ahead of me. As I got in the car Alex says, “it’s about Corey, he got a call saying his father was in a car accident.”

Do you ever wish you could go back in time and change someone's fate? Like one small thing that can impact a person's life? And if you could... would you go back and change it for the better?

In a school, far away in Spain, lived a girl. She was brave, ignorant, and most of all, persistent. She would do anything- even if it was a joke. Sadly enough, this would lead to a deadly phenomenon in the sea.

Backh woke up on the first day of school he was going into the ninth grade and he was very excited, It was the year 10,000 BC and he lived somewhere in Europe. He went outside to check the temperature and it was pretty chilly so he went back upstairs to pick out his outfit. He was looking through all his furs and choose to wear his new woolly mammoth fur that he had gotten going school hunting the day before. So he went downstairs and ate his pterodactyl steak before going to school that his mom had cooked it for him before she left to go hunting. He ate his steak very fast and almost choked because he was so excited to go to school. Backhs house was very tall because that is the only way he can fit inside it with him being 10’4 and seven hundred fifty pounds, he was the biggest person to live in their village. As soon as he got finished with his steak he bolted out of the house to get to school.

The freezing wind turned my tears into ice and gave my hands frost bites it seemed to be shoving me, as I walked home I held my arm in front of my face desperately trying to shield the wind luging my notebook in my other arm. If I knew the weather would be this bad I would have asked Ely for a ride but I need time alone. Another tear dropped down and I choked down a sob thinking of the conversation I had over the phone earlier; ¨Hi…sweetie¨ my mom had started ¨I should not tell you this over the phone but… ¨ she paused for a while before continuing ¨I thought you should no right away… ¨ she had tried to explain another pause happened ¨Fea´s gone¨ the phone slipped out of my hand and crashed on to the floor. Everyone in the art studio heads turned towards the sound Mr. Bean asked me if I was ok but my body refused to work I just stood there in the same spot motionless. As I turned the corner I could see my house I ran to the doorstep stomping the snow of my feet before running into my room and landing on my bed with a thump.

I couldn’t believe it. Well actually I could. I had caught my first boyfriend cheating on me with some bitchy hoe from school.

Hello?” Adrastos spoke hesitantly, looking into the cripplingly dark house worriedly. He wasn’t scared, but his worry shone through as his voice quivered violently. He mentally punched himself realizing his mistake. Why did I open my big mouth? She is going to kill me! he thought to himself trying to refrain from crying. After all, that would create noise, and he would be showing emotions, so he would get double the punishment.

“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

I sat in the nurse's office while she was taking care of my eye it didn't take very long. She said "There will be a little bit of bruising." I nodded and she let me out of her office and I walked into the main office both Patrick and Henry were sent out of the Principal's office and I tried to talk to Patrick "Patri-." "Miss Davenport can you step into my office for a minute?" I heard Principal Blackburn's voice call me over. I sighed and walked into his office."Okay Miss Davenport as i can see that you have been a straight A student and you have not been sent to my office before for any reason and I've noticed for the past month your grades have been slipping. your teacher has told me that you've had a change in your group of friends. Would you like to explain what's going on?" I shook my head "No there's nothing wrong." The principal nodded and asked "Then miss Davenport would you like to explain what happened with Miss Keene this morning?" I smiled and said "She started the fight by running that big ass mouth of hers so I shut it for her." "What did she say to you Kassidy?" the smile faded from my face as I told him about what Gretta said to me this morning and he said that he was going to have a word with her and let me leave his office but not before telling me that I was going to have detention for the rest of the week along with Patrick, Henry and possibly Gretta too. I walked out of the office and went looking for Patrick but instead of finding Patrick I ran into
