Pine Hill: A Short Story

My eyes peeled open slowly and the bright sunlight flooded into my eyes, blinding me. I heard the sound of running water and felt the cold breeze flow over my body. I looked out of my hammock and in front of me was a beautiful waterfall and several towering, bright green trees. My friends whom were with me shortly awoke and we packed our things and set off on our first true day of hiking in the Appalachian mountains.

After a rough night, Billy and his team went back to the camp with several coon skins. Because of his dogs determination and loyalty even through a blizzard, Billy won the competition. After that, everyone started to head home. Awhile later, Billy, Old Dan, and Little Ann went hunting again. Billy was not prepared for this hunt.

While saving Billy's life, Old Dan and Little Ann were wounded very badly. Even though Billy and his parents did their best to treat Old Dan and Little Ann's wounds, Old Dan did not make it long after the hunt. Shortly after Old Dan's death, Billy buried him.

As she was dying, she drug herself all the way out to Old Dan's grave and died beside his grave. Billy buried her beside Old Dan.

The alligator got ahold of Bud’s foot which then went up to his body then ate him whole. Bud’s family wanted him to come over for thanksgiving, but they couldn’t get ahold of him so then they went to his house and couldn’t find him there, they called his work and they said ‘’he called in and said that there was a family problem’’. Then his family called the cops, the cops came out and they took a missing file report, and said they would send out to the world to look out for him and if you see him please call the cops. A month has passed and no one has seen Bud. This little boy was walking and saw a bag,shoes,water bottles, and a hat all laying on the ground like someone has been there or they live there. He walks down to where he thinks all this evidence is leading to, he then finds blood that has been there for awhile down in a sewer and he finds bones laying everywhere. He calls the police and then police told him to get out of there because they said that’s a very dangerous place for him to be at. The police showed, up and took all the bones and evidence to headquarters to see what they could find out. It took weeks to find who these bones belonged to, which then

The contents of the family restroom off of Peaks Place Trail were always the same. The little 8X5 room usually contained a stained-up finger print covered mirror, a leaky sink, a clogged up or overflowing toilet, and a drain in the middle of the floor that had probably never gotten rid of any water in its existence. However, on the last Sunday of every month, the items in dirty room would get a few additions. On these particular Sundays, the public restroom would contain its usual revolting things, but it would also contain a view from the doorway of a rusty bike leaned against a rotting tree, a black duffle bag that housed a few dirty clothes, and a visit from a 19 year old homeless girl who would be frantically trying to get the dirt stains out of the only semi-nice thing that she owned. This particular Sunday would be no different as the young lady tried to get ready for her usual once-a-month church going.

When they had all the cattle about 1,200 they head out on a long trip. The cattle drive was going as planned getting about 10-15 miles a day to get to a farm where they would get money for bringing the cattle. But two days in too the cattle drive there was a storm that started just with rain but started getting worse. It was so bad that the lighting and thunder made the cattle turn into a stamped. The cowboys tried to calm the cattle and keep them in a group it just wasn't working. When the storm was over they noticed that they had been missing 50 cows this was the worse thing they could ever encounter on the drive. So before going any further the 5 cowboys split up why one stays to watch the cattle. The four cowboys all came back that night with just 34 of the cows. The cowboys head on trying to find the cows again and still found nothing but in the distance there was a cliff leading to a valley. When they arrived to the valley to see where the cows were they saw nothing but 3 dead cows on the ground of that valley. When they went on there way again they saw nothing but flat land and the rest of their cattle this made the cowboys really happy that they could still get most of their cattle drive there safely. When they got to the farm the farmer gave them their money were they split between the 5 of them. Then they go to back home to see there children

Hi James, I am a camper here at the Camp Green Lake. There was an incident here at camp and I need your help. You see I was digging my hole to build character and the warden here poked me with a pitchfork as a punishment.

As soon as jumped out of my window i was surprised to see Anna already outside ready to to secure a fort on Ripping Hill. We were already geared up and we headed of to Ripping Hill. We went down to street around a few houses and there we were and the tallest hill in the whole park. We climbed up the steep hill and realized that our shoes were getting wet and soggy because of the snow piled on top of the dirty landscape.

We jogged up the hill to meet Anna at the top. We were ready

The day they returned home they received bad news; Charlie had been sent to the infirmary in

Roy did what he was told to do and when he had reached all the way up to fifty, he quickly turned back to see who Mullet Fingers was. Roy turns back and as he found himself alone in a driving range and found out that he was tricked by Mullet Fingers and that the boy had ran away again. Roy was not disappointed or discouraged about this but became more excited and curious about Mullet Fingers. Roy did not get frightened about the boy and did not even give up. Roy kept on trying to meet Mullet Fingers again by getting shoes he had at his house for Mullets Fingers to wear even though he was tricked by the boy because he noticed that the boy was barefoot and also trying to be nice to the boy so that he can somehow get Mullet Fingers to become friends with him so that he is able to talk to him. This displays that he is not giving up because if he did not care and just gave up, then he would not have gave the Running Boy sneakers and would not have been looking for him

A man from the East comes to a western mining town. At the request of a friend, the narrator speaks with Simon Wheeler in order to ask after a man named Leonidas W. Smiley. Instead of giving the narrator the information that he asks for, Wheeler launches into a tall tale about a man named Jim Smiley. The story goes something like this: Jim Smiley was a man who would bet on anything. He turned a frog into a pet and bet a stranger that his frog, Dan’l Webster, could jump higher than any other frog.

Before he could figure out what happened, the stranger disappeared with the $40 he won by cheating. Sick of the long-winded tale about Jim Smiley
