'Whenever Daddy had the day off work, we would visit the shops, or ride on the tram. He’d let me ride up top so I could see all the sights. And Clog loved going for a walk in the park'
'Can you tell us what happened to your parents?' asked Flossie.
'Well, they conscripted Daddy into the army at the start of the Great Seaboard Wars. Then in 1940, they shipped him abroad but he never came home. Some people said I should feel proud that he died for his country. But it wasn't fair. They should never have had a war in the first place. Then none of this would have happened.
Anyway, after that, they bombed the city. The yard I played in turned to rubble and all my friend’s houses gone. Even our school took a direct hit. Then a month ago, me and Mummy watched a newsreel at the Picture Palace. Halfway through the show, the air raid sirens blared out and huge bombs fell out of the sky. So, we made a run for the nearest shelter, but I lost sight of Mummy amongst the pushing and shoving. Hours and hours, I waited, but I never…I never saw her...again.'
‘You are such a brave girl,’ whispered Lord Fox, then wrapped her in a hug as she fought back the tears.
'Me and Clog roamed the streets for days, searching for scraps of food and a dry place to sleep at night. But then a warden found us. A few days later, they found my next of kin - Harry Jewel. I’d never met him before and Mummy never spoke of him.'
The Sprigs settled on her lap but she was miles away with her thoughts

The world was so big to a boy who had lived in a small town called Waterfront for his whole life. It was a silly name for a place that had no water around for miles though. It was set on a plateau at least a mile from the ground and surrounded by desert. There were highways jutting out of either side of the town as if the plateau had lifted out of the ground causing the road to break apart. The rest of the road at the bottom went as far as the eye could see. No one had ever seen a vehicle on the roads. The only way up to the town was by plane or airlift, but no one had ever left, and no one ever came. Elijah was the only kid in Waterfront. His parents barely knew he existed and were always working in the only skyscraper in town.
You stay here,” Ken ordered the other dog and rushed into the yard to check on Margaret. “Smoky, you stop that and come over here,” he called out several times before the dog bowed his head and went to him.
It was the night of the heaviest fall rains; water flooded the earth. Deep in the Montana Sawtooth Range, a young boy was born to the Kinakii (Kih- nA- key) Tribe. He was taken to Chief Mikanahay for tribal inspection. With all newborns, the tribe makes sure the right healthy genes present themselves to ensure the future of the clan. Chief Mikanahay noticed strange bands wrapped around the boy's right arm. “Get me Shakalm,” ordered the chief! Shakalm, the medicine man, came stumbling in drenched head to toe; his deer skin matted tight against his body.
“Mama ella se llama Jenn y creo que es mi hermana. Tu hija que has buscado por tanto tiempo.” said Lupita very excited. Which means, “Mother her name is Jenn and I believe she is my sister. Your daughter that you have searched for for so many years.”

Seeing the man behind them pull a gun, Dominic fired a shot out the window as he yelled for Paulie to drive. Two quick shots came back at them. As Paulie raced away, Dominic let three more rapid-fire shots fly before they turned the corner and were out of sight.

Iris walked on the dirt path of the village. The wind blew her black curly hair behind her as she walked, and her tattered blue skirt swished in sync to her footsteps. She walked up to the only place that her feet could take her, and that was the Village Store. She stared at the sign in front of her. “White People Only.”
Mr. Johnson put on his uncomfortable shoes and then trudged out into the way to bright morning sunshine. He was not in the best of moods, so when he stopped at a newspaper stand to get his daily morning newspaper, he spoke very angrily the the salesperson to “hurry up.” When another man came to buy a paper, Mr. Johnson quickly stole his wallet and hid it in a secret pocket in his jacket. Then he acted extremely sorry when the man couldn’t find it and even paid the 60 cents for the paper, so as to not look suspicious.
I trotted down the dusty road to the farms to do my everyday work, and started thinking of what if I was a Noble? Eating two immense meals per day, and being the wealthiest in the kingdom!
It was a short yet much needed weekend for Scoob and the gang, full of bright colourful days, and lit by the scorching sun. Luscious waves which were breaking close to shore and palm trees swaying side to side, as if waving to the fishermen who were pulling in their monster catches from the sea.
As me and my son Aiden,little fiery one, sit outside our hut on a warm, dark night while my son finish his upper body exercises. After finishing his exercise sweat dripped from his thick eyebrows and wide body, he stands next to me and ask me a question I have been preparing to answer since he was a child.
“BANG! BANG! BANG!” it was not uncommon to hear Richard outside with his shotgun. As a 50 year old farmer living in Missouri, Richard loved the sweet smell of potatoes and the sound of his shotgun. He didn’t make any money as a farmer and had grown to detest people. Richard resided in a craftsman style house and the closest kin to him lived 60 miles away. Although he was not the best shot in the world because of his poor eyesight, the target still received a bullet half of the time. On a normal day, Richard would water the fields, milk the cows, feed the animals, practice target shooting and follow it all with a hearty dinner and full nights sleep.
