Short Story: It Was The Fourth Of July

This is a true story about two heroes. This story takes place during the summer of 2009. A family was spending the 4th of July weekend at the lake in Central Minnesota. The first hero’s name was Tatum. He and his step-sister, Bailey, were the first two on the tube. We made several laps around the lake until he saw another boat heading directly for them. Tatum was on the side closest to the oncoming boat. All he could think to do was to get bailey off the tube before it hit them. He pushed her off the back of the tube just as the boat rammed into his right side. The sound was an awful, loud thud as the boat drove over the tube without even slowing down.

When people talk about spies, their first thought is often the James Bond or Mission Impossible variety – agents involved in action-packed drama. Usually, they have a scientifically savvy team of professionals who incorporate highly advanced technology to help complete their missions. However, very few think of Revolutionary War soldiers with their most complicated device being invisible ink.

The spies would get information and then put the information. Items with secret cavity’s, like a baseball and a brush.

It was early Friday afternoon, the start of Memorial Day weekend and I almost lost my best friend. Now usually on Memorial Day weekend my family and close family friends go camping but this year the other family couldn’t go so we decided to call it off. Not having anything to do that day I decided to take my dog for a walk. My dog is a Terrier Poodle mix so she’s not very big. Her name is Pepper and she’s just your average lap dog but she’s my best friend. So i put her leash on her and asked my little sister is she wanted to go and she said no, so it was just Pepper and I. We made it two houses down before the neighbor's German Shepherd came to meet us. There was nothing to worry about though because this is a nice dog, so I thought. Before I knew what was happening the German Shepherds jaw crushed down on Peppers back and stomach, picked her up, shook her like a chew toy, and threw her. The

This particular gang and the members in it protect each other like family. That being said, one of the female gang members had spent two days looking for the two teenagers. She ended up finding them in the City for Palm Springs in a vacant lot. Upon her arrival she took out a firearm and fired multiple rounds at the two teenagers. One of the boys was hit in the shoulder while the other was struck in the throat.

August 13th, 1814: It was terrible.. I woke up today with my parents screaming, yelling at me to run out of there, to not look back. So I grabbed my journal and darted out of there, but.. my parents didn’t.. there was a fire, started from the house right next to us and it spread like a wildfire, burning down everything near it. It seemed I was the only one to make it, everyone that I grew up with.. gone. Except Henry, my best friend.. he made it out too, although not in very good shape. I bought him some bread with the small amount of money I had leftover, and it seemed to help ever so slightly.

It’s Thanksgiving Day and I am really excited because this is the time where we all give thanks to each other and I get to have my Grandma’s delicious homemade pumpkin pie! Mmm, delicious!

Mary sat at the kitchen table staring out the window through the freezing rain at the old, rusty mailbox. It had been two weeks since her husband had left for Europe. The war was raging on and more men were needed, so her husband had joined the war effort. His final words to her were “I’ll see you again, my love.” She had read the paper that morning, and she was petrified.

June 14: Apparently that medicine makes you go to sleep. Mr.Wright is extremely agitating sometimes. I’m going to make him tell me today. I mean it can’t be anything too terrible… Then again, if it wasn’t too dreadful then why would the nurse not want to tell me what happened? I’m starting to obtain the feeling of panic.

Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving and Tom was getting ready for his big Thanksgiving party when someone knocked on the front door.

Day 20. Hell is the way of living after being in this battle ,and what i have seen after these twenty days has changed my life forever.
