Short Story
It was lying there, the battered and torn body. There was a moment of silence as detective David Whittle and I stared at the body. I could not understand how this had occurred.
It had been a fairly quiet day at the station until I had received a phone call from a distressed mother, pleading for us to help. Her voice was hard to understand as she was crying so hard. I traced the call to a small village just on the edge of Brighton, called Linden where a Miss Hutton lived. I had visited Linden before as one of my old friends lived there. It was a quiet little town, which had nothing special about it. It was not far by car but I was confused as to why we were going there, as the

"What happened?" I asked.
She said that it had been an ordinary day up until about three o clock when she heard noise coming from upstairs.
"Well it was just then that I realised that there were more people than just my daughter Victoria upstairs. There was a loud crashing sound and she screamed! I had not any idea that my daughter had just been murdered".
"Murdered you say".
She was still sulking as she said yes
"Did you see the murderer?" I asked.
She did not reply but just broke down in tears. Immediately our attention was drawn to the skid marks we had seen on our entry to the house. We examined them and David, being a vehicle expert recognised that they had been left by a transit van. The name Gary popped into mind when he said transit van as he had been known to speed around the local village, and I have arrested him on many occasions. He was a short black haired chubby man who had a distinctive scar down the left side of his face. He always wore jeans that were ripped at the bottom, and he had small brown boots. He was in his middle thirties and was not married.
David and I sat in our car and decided to ring the police station and tell them to look for the name Gary Myers in the police record books. Surely enough when they looked they said that he has been in and out of the local police station
He came in without a word. I was stropping my best razor. And when I recognized him, I started to

thanked him as she took the cup. Before heat could rise to his cheeks, he nodded, and turned around, pretending to grab something from behind him. She frowned a little, but headed back to her place quietly.
There was a girl named Kandy, she was 15 years old. Her life was extremely boring, all she ever did was go to school, go on her computer, eat and sleep. She spent all summer on her computer. She was really good with HTML and spent her free time making web sites. Kandy didn't have many friends and rarely talked to guys because she was shy and unconfident about her looks. That's why she went into chat rooms. She made a web site with pictures of herself on it and told people in chat rooms to go there. A lot of people would tell her how pretty she was and some would say she was ugly. That made her feel awful. When anyone would say anything nice to her, she wouldn't believe them and think that they were just making fun of her. She only had
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.
Like usual, I was letting my mind wander past the cars beside me, and had begun falling into a daydream state. I was pondering work, (which is not a thing to give ponder after leaving, I dare say), when a peculiar thing happened.
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.

“Yellow is a lovely color for you, Layna.” Jon informed her as she greeted her friend. Alayna smirked as she removed the wreath from her head and shoved it down upon his ginger brow. “I believe it suits you better, my lord.”
Samuel Townsend was a very poor man. He didn’t have a job, and he ate scraps out of the trash for nourishment. One fateful day, Samuel was walking towards the tavern to get food from the trash, when he spotted a fakir on the side of the road. The fakir looked anxious, and he called out to Samuel, “You there! Please come here!” With nothing better to do, Samuel started making his way to the man.
The sun beamed through the open window, embracing me in the warmth and comfort. My plane had just arrived in Paris, France. It was a peaceful walk to baggage claim when some random girl interrupted my daydream.
He has no mother,he has no skate I thought to myself. I drove down to the orphanage as soon as possible asking myself over and over why did he lie to me. So I went to the orphanage and I saw it burning down. I started to drive faster and faster and I saw Jerry and I was relief. I got out of the car and I see the curtains burning I hear little kids screaming I see the the building burn down to the floor.
