Skyzone: A Short Story

"Are you okay?" He questioned,his voice was filled with compassion towards me and I smiled from where I lay.

I smacked the ball over the right fielder but it seemed as that time slowed down, I felt as the ball was lost in space. As i realized it was gonna be a hit I turned on the wheels and sprinted off. Once I got to first I knew I had a easy triple so i rounded 2 and head for third. When I was running to third I looked at coach and he was telling me to go home. I could not believe what I was seeing, I knew it was gonna be close so I ran as hard as I could. As I got closer to home plate I saw the catcher preparing to catch the ball so I slid head first. Then there was silence then the umpire shouted “safe”.

I told myself, "come on Lina you can do it," next thing I knew it was two strikes and three balls. it's now or never Lina strike three the ball was over the fence and into the street but it was as if it turned around and headed right for me I put my glove up and felt something hard hit my hand I caught the ball but it was already too late the girl already hit a grand slam(she got four people in including herself)my eyes started burning I tried to hold them back some very strange back but I felt something sliding down my cheek I ran into the dugout and I could not stop my feet. I got to my mom I held her like there was no going back, all I felt was a warm body hugging me. I slowly looked up and cried "I don't want to play I disappointed my hole team."

“Yeah he’s a good kid,” she said as if I didn’t know him. “It was nice meeting you” she extended her

My stomach twisted at the thought of losing when we pulled into the McDougal High School’s parking lot. I ran into the building where our coach taught us the new positions until it was time to play. The ref blew the whistle and threw the ball into the air. I jumped up with my feet dangling off the ground and slapped the ball out of its orbit and ran down the court. I could feel my heart beating, I lurched to a screaming halt at the three point line and pushed the ball towards the basket. I shut my eyes hoping it would make it. I heard the ball drop to the ground and the crowd that was erupting with cheers, I opened my eyes and saw my teammates smiling. “That’s a girl!” my coach hollered as I ran towards the sideline and sat down on the bench. We ended up winning by 2 points after two overtime periods.

Bombs were going off. They were under attack. By they, I mean the Sky People. I’m picking up people left and right. I've taken Clarke’s mom, the Chancellor. Clarke was just a little girl, at least 17. Murphy barely clinging on to life, but I did not take him. It was not his time yet. I will meet him later, when the time is right. The victory was granted to the Sky People, but is it much of a victory when 25% of your people, including your chancellor, are either dead or missing?

We had to get the ball in, and someone had to make a shot. I was so nervous in the timeout huddle. I kept looking up at the red numbers on the scoreboard. Breathe, just breathe. Coach had written out a whole play for us. We were going to get the ball into Jocelyn at half court and she was going to dribble in and find a shot or pass to me or Ellie on the wings. I was hoping Jocelyn wouldn’t pass to me. It was 4th grade and I wasn’t very good. The referee’s blew their whistles once, then twice, commanding us to take the court. Neither team was ready to see who would be on top when the buzzer would finally go off. As both teams were getting ready to take the court, the ref set the ball on the line and began counting to five. We threw the whole

The reason why both of these stories seem so hard to comprehend is because for people like me to conflicts with reality, relatable, perception, and fact from fiction. Understanding the customs of the Native Americans are different from mines and in “A Tale of The Sky World" is a great example of that. How the Native American's viewed things like the environment, creatures, and Gods. In the book, the girl got pregnant because she faced the east and the breath of the west wind had entered her person causing conception. Or the father laying his down alongside the great tree and dig it up to cure her illness. This is foreign to me. They had their own philosophies and principles about how the realm was formed. I like the fact that learning about

So, when I was like five I used to hang out with Nick, Dakota, Kiser, Collin, Dawson, and a few other boys. That day it was just us six though. The boys were jumping off of the equipment at recess. We were playing “transformers”. I decided to just run around and not jump off it. I went down the slide and stuff like that. I was smarter than them and knew something would happen. They kept jumping and trying to make me but I refused. It was about a five foot jump down. They kept pushing me and literally tried to push me off a few times. After about ten minutes of this I finally decided to jump. It was fun at first and I kept going for a while. I would jump, run around to the stairs, crawl through the tunnel, and jump again. I did this about twelve times until they thought it would be funny to push me off. I’m sure my face was priceless when I realized what was happening. I ended up trying to land correctly but messed up and landed on the side of my right ankle so it turned in and immediately went down. The boys jumped off and surrounded me, looking at me because they had no idea what happened. I couldn’t get up until they blew the whistle and I had to. I ended up being able to get up but had tears in my eyes (I didn’t like to cry and still don’t. I like to think I’m tough and no matter what happens I’ll be ok.). I hobbled back to class while everyone else was running back. I almost made it back when one of the aid’s stopped me. She said “Oh my gosh, are you ok!?”. I looked at her and

Were at the doctor’s, Kaylynn is 10 months old. It’s her normal 2 months appointment. The doctor has that look that something wrong. I can tell because she is my best friend and I am her nurse. Were sitting in the room. It’s Bright and colorful Kaylynn smiling her cute little smile just makes everything feel better. Dr.Kay walks in, she has bad news.

She past me the ball, I took a jump stop and my left knee turned inward to my right knee. My knee turned so bad that the left one touched the right one making a popping sound. I fell to the court in pain while the tears mixed with sweat. The coaches had to call for an ambulance to take me to Cook’s Children Hospital.

My name (due to privacy reasons i have to use a different name) is Gin-Gei Theodorees that's the name I use for me argonian character in Sky-rim.

I used to watch my Step dads AAU team practice. One day I was talking trash to one of the players saying your trash you can’t guard me, I was like 9 or 8 when I was saying this but I never back down a fight and this one day my step Dad said they needed help with practice I thought he was talking about picking the balls up. But he said tie your shoes and get on the court I was so happy when he said that I was ready to get on the court. When I got up I ran straight to Elzy the boy I was talking trash to, Jamaica one of the other players told me to stay up and don’t let him shoot. Once they blew the whistle Elzy got the ball I was locking him up at first and until he pushed off me and made me fall. Everybody was going crazy “he fail oh my god” he fail. I was so ashamed once the practice was I Elzy came up and said “keep your head up your good you're just too small”.

It was a cold friday night when Matt Drasher and a few friends walk in the doors of Skyzone, an indoor theme park known for having a trampoline park, trampoline dodgeball and trampoline basketball. Matt wanted to celebrate his 14th birthday with a party. Maybe he wanted to try and see if skyzone was an place to keep going to, or never go back. Matt and his friends started off by jumping around in the main trampoline area, and they were doing flips off the walls of the trampoline like there was no tomorrow. After the boys were tired of just jumping around, they walked over to the basketball net area. The basketball net area has 3 nets, each net has a different height: one net that is 15 feet, one that is 9 feet, and one that is 6 feet. Matt
