The Lonely Ghost By: Kate, Mackenzie, and Julia Once upon a time, there was a ghost named Lou that haunted the Bueller’s attic. The family thought that the poor little ghost was mean, and was trying to haunt them. Poor little Lou just wanted a friend, but no one ever let him come close. Every time Lou tried to make friends with the Buellers they ran away. Lou was sad and didn’t understand why they didn’t want to be friends. Finally, Lou found a special someone. He thought that they could be friends and floated over to him. He realized it was another ghost! “Oh my goshhhhhh! I haven’t seen a ghost in ages,” exclaimed Lou, “What is your name? Can we be friends?” “Hello, my name is Gerald the ghost. We can maybe be friends. I am going to leave, but I will definitely see you around.” Lou was very glad he had a friend, and he had never been this happy before. He was going to be okay! Lou saw his new friend more and more. He loved seeing his new friend and was going to go to a party with a bunch of cool ghosts but everyone said that they couldn’t go because of different reasons. One ghost said that their ghost dog was sick and others said that they had to look over their family. Lou looked on ghostagram the next day and saw that all of his friends had gotten together without him. Lou decided to confront them, he said, “Hey guys, why would you lie to me about not being able to go to your party?” “I am sorry Lou, but we don’t really like you,” the other ghosts all said with a sigh. “ But… but why not?” asked Lou in a sad voice. “You’re just not cool enough, sorry,” said Gerald, Lou’s first real friend. Lou floated home aimlessly not really sure what to do. He was really sad about his friends and just wanted to be home alone in his attic and blast sad music. When Lou got home, he tried to turn on his speaker but it was broken. Lou decided to just cry in the corner. Over the years Lou was always sad. He could never find a way to be happy. He found that he would never leave his attic and never found a friend. He lived alone and had a very terrible life. The end

Christmas By: Francie and Lucy Jimmy woke up on Christmas morning and rushed down the stairs. He was lurking in the dark and soundless hallway waiting for his other siblings to awaken. He gazed under his Christmas tree and saw no presents. He was devastated at the sight and returned to his bedroom. As the morning slowly turned to early afternoon, Jimmy finally gained enough courage to walk down the stairs. But as expected, he didn’t see any of the glorious presents he wanted this Christmas. Suddenly, he heard a knock that echoed through his empty house. He walked over to the large door, expecting a delivery of some kind, but instead when he opened the door he came face to face with a group of Christmas carolers. He quietly stood there listening to them happily sing Christmas songs with smiles that were so joyful. When Jimmy slammed the door in the caroler’s faces, he just stood there staring at the door. He heard the carolers walk away with disappointment. Seven hours later Jimmy wandered into his local grocery store looking for a Christmas meal for one. As he was walking around he heard Christmas music starts to play, and he was immediately filled with sadness. He went over to get his Christmas meal for one when he heard a voice. Jimmy, you need to get into the Christmas spirit, NOW! So he nodded his head and went to his local Christmas supply store. He walked into the holiday store and went straight to the tree section. He grabbed the biggest tree he could find and then went on to find lots and lots of decorations. He found sparkly lights, long strands of ribbon, and presents for everyone in the town. When he walked out of the store he felt so happy, in fact, he was the happiest he had ever felt. And when he was on his way home, he wished everyone he saw a Merry Christmas. The End
The Crime Scene By: William Run Henry, run!! It was a Sunday night, wind blowing, leaves falling, and a full moon with a clear sky. “I have to get away and hide the evidence,” Said Henry to himself. Henry had just committed a crime and the police were about to show up. He has only two minutes to get away and hide all of the evidence. “Where am I ever going to hide the glove with blood on it and the knife,” Said Henry now getting stressed. He was running with everything he has headed straight towards the woods in the backyard of the house. After a few minutes of running Henry was now away from the house and out of breath. He then decided to just walk to regain his energy. Henry got a little too tired and decided to stay the night in the woods. After a good night of 7 hours of sleep Henry finally woke up. “I must get going,” Henry thought to himself. He had just made it out of the woods, which were about two miles long, and got nervous because he wasn’t hidden anymore. He thought about going back in but he knew he had to find somewhere to hide the evidence and the woods behind the house was not the best idea. After hours of walking on end, he came to a stop for another night of rest. When Henry woke up this morning he had the jolt of energy that he was going to find somewhere to hide the glove with blood and knife today. So again he walks and walks until he sees a man. He decides to go and ask him where the nearest landfill is. The man asked him why he was going to a landfill. Henry had not suspected the man was going to wonder why so Henry had to think of something very quick. His first instinct that came to mind was saying he had lost something and wanted to ask someone there if they had seen his lost item. So the man believed it and told him it was a mile and a half up the street. So Henry thanked the man and was on his way. The Moment Henry had arrived it was now night time and he had thought to himself, “This is the perfect time to go and hide the glove and knife.” There was one problem though, the fence was a barbed-wire fence. Henry thought and thought until he remembered he had a knife and used it to the best of his abilities to cut the fence. Henry went on to cut the fence and successfully hid the glove and knife. He went on to live his life as a nice and happy life.
The Darksaber By: Adam I have the dark saber, the most powerful lightsaber in the galaxy. I'm bringing it to the rebel alliance so that it can help bring the first order down. There is only one problem, I’m on the silencer, the first orders ship. I couldn't possibly wield the dark saber long enough to find the escape shuttle, I can’t even use it. I must find a place to hide it. It's been several hours since I ended up on this ship, and I still haven’t found the dark saber. Right now I’m searching the left-wing next to terminal-B. I'm now entering the hall of relics when I spot it, the dark saber. I got to grab it when it knocks me back. Shoot, I forgot only master Jedi’s can wield it, but how m I supposed to get it off this ship. I start to scout around when I find just what I needed. It is an old Jedi knight’s metal hand. I think his name was Luke Sky walker, and he helped bring down the Sith Lord and the old order. I grab it and pull it around my hand. I go to the dark saber and grab it. I know I won’t be able to hold on to the saber for long because Luke wasn’t a master Jedi, but I'll be able to hold onto it long enough. I run out of the hall or relics and turn to my right. There are about ten storm troopers right in the path. I drop the dark saber and pull out my training lightsaber and go ham on those storm troopers. I drag all the storm troopers away and hide them. I grab a storm troopers outfit, put it on and run down the hall. As I’m running, I come face to face with the man himself. Darth Vader. “What are you doing away from your station?” said Vader. “And what are you doing with the darksaber?” “I'm sorry sir,” I said. “It won't happen again.” I turned to leave when I thought, “Wait, I could kill him right now.” I turn around and swing the darksaber at him. Suddenly I'm stuck. “I find your lack of faith disturbing,” said Darth Vader. Then he threw me to the ground and the darksaber got away from me. He pulled his lightsaber out and started to walk towards me. “Tell me about the Rebels or you will die.” “Never!” I shouted. The lightsaber came crashing down on me. “We will not let this 10 stop us from Domination over the Galaxy,” said Vader. That was the last thing I heard.
The Story That Makes No Sense By: Kenzie, Elie, Molly, Sophie, Kate and Julia It was a small village that was lit up with Christmas lights, and everyone sang around the big tree. Everyone was happy and full of cheer. Every Christmas is amazing but in this village, somethings are always bound to happen. Every village has this particular girl on Christmas that comes every year. The girl spreads cheer and is the true heart of Christmas, but this year she was missing. Without the girl, Christmas cheer would not happen. She had a big heart and a cheerful smile. This girl’s name was Dareka. When the village realized she was missing they had to go on a journey to find her! Her boyfriend, Shadush, was the one that needed to find her first. Shadush loved Dareka and needed to find her because he wanted to marry her. He also wanted to find her to bring back the Christmas cheer, so he left the town and went in search of her. As he was looking for her he got lost and ended up in a town that looked familiar, it was the north pole. He started to panic because he saw strange people who were half his height. He had heard about these sort of people in books but he has never seen one in real life. DId Dareka end up here? Shadush thought. Shadush continued to look for Dareka and ended up in front of a big red and green warehouse. He thought to himself, “This would be a perfect place to find Dereka.” He opened the door and all he saw were the little people making toys. He started to rapidly search for her, but all he could find were short people making toys. He went up to a little person and asked him if she had seen Dereka? “Who’s Dereka,” the little person said “My girlfriend, she’s the true heart of Christmas,” said Shadush. “Uh we only have one woman here?” said the elf. “And who would that be?” Shadush said seriously “Well it’s Mrs. Clause of course,” said the elf. Shadush was starting to panic because if Dereka was the only thing that kept Christmas going. There was only one day until Christmas and Shadush had to hurry. He ran in and out of every building in the north pole and still couldn’t find her, he went into full-on panic mode. As he was running through the building he heard a voice! It was DEREKA’S!!!!!
“I am lost and I can’t find my way home,” said Dereka to Santa. “I will help you find your way back home before Christmas,” exclaimed Santa as Shadush was lightning from the door. Dereka didn’t really trust Santa but it was his only option. Santa and Dereka started to plan out their journey home. “First, we would need to borrow a reindeer from Santa, Then, we will need to learn how to fly the reindeer. Then, we will be home,” said Dereka to Santa. “How can we use a sleid? It will never work! We aren’t Santa!” exclaimed Dereka. Dereka had no hope there were now only 15 hours until Christmas and she started to cry. Then Shadush entered the room and made eye contact with dereka. “It’s okay Dereka. Let’s go home,” said SHadush. “Sounds good. I think I’m ready,” said Dereka. They grabbed the reindeer and fled. It only took a few hours to get back to their humble abode. They flew over everything and she flew back to her house. It was a happy Christmas and everyone had a great time!

A Story By: Will It had been a long day and Vincent was driving to his run-down apartment while regretting his life decisions. He had it all... A wife, a Mercedes, a four-story mansion, even two wonderful healthy children. Until he lost it all in a bet with the local farmer. The farmer married Vincent’s wife, took custody of his kids, took away his Mercedes, and took his mansion. But there was no time to dwell on the past, he needed to stay focused. He was passing his rival, Drew, who often stood outside his house and shot at Vincent as he drove away. Again, Drew stood on his front porch, ready to fire. Vincent pushed the pedal all the way to the ground and sped away before Drew could even shoot. Vincent reached his apartment, turned his car off and headed up to floor 4. His apartment was a mess, and he decided to clean up a little. As he was cleaning, he saw something that caught his attention… A HOT POCKET! He couldn’t believe his eyes, this was the first food he had seen in weeks. It was a blessing from Allah. He threw the hot pocket in his microwave and ate dinner for the first time in 4 days. He decided to test his luck and went down to the local gas station. He bought a lottery ticket with the rest of his money for the month and ran back to his apartment. He took his most prized possession, a quarter, and began scratching away at the ticket. He got 3 matching numbers, then five, then 9. He took a deep sigh and prayed to Allah. He got the tenth number! He couldn’t believe it. He was rich. He could leave this town, get his wife back, his kids, even his mansion. He ran down the steps and into his car. He began driving away, staring at his ticket in disbelief. He was too excited to even breath, his family might accept him again. He was so focused on his ticket, that he forgot about Drew. Drew stood ready aiming at Vincent and fired...
Brunie the Ant By: Isabella and Mia Hi, I’m Brunie the ant. One day I was walking through the park. All I saw was the tall grass surrounding me. The sun was hot, and my legs were tired from all the walking. I needed some water, and I saw giant people drinking out of what looked like a humongous tower. Drips of water that missed their mouths were splashing onto the ground. The drops quickly dried on the hot ground. “I need to get to the top of that tower”, I thought. All of a sudden a huge person started racing towards me. I backed away as my life flashed before my eyes. Just then I started looking around and realized I was being lifted off the ground. I was on a human hand! The human tripped and before I knew it I was hurling through the air. To my surprise, I landed with a splash in the giant tower. I was surrounded by water, HURRAY!
Harry the Rat By: Adam, Max, Will, William, Hamilton and Josh It was a rainy day, Harry walked outside the carrot bar and saw a horrid sight. He saw fellow bunnies laying in the street. Dead. He couldn’t believe his eyes. The council had recently passed a law, legalizing all crime after 10 p.m. He paced up and down the street looking at his friends. Until finally, he saw someone. He saw his brother lying in the street. He sprinted over and felt for a pulse. There was nothing. Devastated, he lay in the street, and let his eyelids slowly close… 9 hours later. Harry opened his eyes and realized where he was. He was laying in a pool of dead bodies with his brother at the top. He became angry at himself for losing his track of time. He pulled back his sleeve and checked his watch. “9:30!!!” How could I be so stupid?” Harry asked himself. Angrily, Harry walked in the abandoned carrot bar and grabbed his machete and crossbow. He thought to himself,” I have 15 other brothers, this one is pointless to me.” Then, he began his long journey home. At 10 p.m, he heard yells and picked up his pace. “I can’t wait to get home and see what Ma cooked for supper.” He happily thought as he walked up to his walkway. He slowly walked in and heard screams. “Mom!” He ran upstairs and opened his mom’s door. “Oh my…” he walked in on his Mom… DEAD, spleen, and lungs spilled out of her chest cavity. “Who could have done this! I will find who did this,” he thought. She didn’t have many close friends and her husband jumped off with a jackrabbit. He grabbed his C4s, machete, and his trusty Glock 19. With that, he was off. When he walked out he was quickly encountered by a gang of turtles. “Pathetic,” he thought. He made haste with them, slaughtering them one by one and was quickly on his way out again. He had a sample of his mom's blood and was sniffing it out to see if it was on anyone’s hand. After about an hour he caught onto a scent, and he started hopping towards that direction. Although he was spotted by many people, they all left him alone because of his well-known skills on the battlefield. He entered a shady part of town, and his nose led him to an abandoned shack. He wasted no time and placed a c4 on the door. “Tell me what happened or I’ll blow your house down,” said Harry angrily. “Funny thing is, I did that to a few pigs last week,” said the strange man in a raspy voice. “Well was it with c4?” Harry asked, a grin appearing on his face. “Well… no..:” the man said confused. “Well I can blow your house down RIGHT NOW if you don’t cooperate,” Harry said joyously. “Ok, ok. What do you need?” The man said quietly. “ Did you kill my mom?” Harry said. “No, I only hunt pigs… and YOUR MOM.” “NOOOOOOOOO,” Harry yelled emotionally. Harry grabbed his machete and chopped down the door. As he worked he said, “Killing you in an explosion would be much too quick and simple for someone like you.” And with that, he grabbed his machete and sliced through the door. He saw a wolf sitting there in a chair. “Well hello there. Mr. Rabbit,” the wolf said slowly and grimly. “I don’t have time for a story,” Harry said angrily. He hopped at the wolf, expecting a vicious fight, however, he was met with little resistance. “I am old and have no need to fight,” said the wolf. “ I don’t want to hear a sob story today,” said Harry, still angry at the loss of his mom. After this, Harry held his machete to the wolf’s jugular and ended him slowly cutting through.

One of A Kind By: Elie, Molly and Julia Molly bought me at a Christmas Boutique. It was quite a boutique if I do say so myself. I wasn’t Molly’s first choice. Her first choice was my friend Jerry. Molly’s friend, Lily, originally picked me out but Molly stole me and I have hated her for it ever since. She kept showing me off to her friends and it was so annoying. Like, yeah, I know I’m beautiful, but you don’t need to show me off like that. The only reason she picked me because I am a raccoon, unicorn, and panda all in one. My tail is the raccoon part, the panda part if my whole body, and I have a unicorn horn. Now I lay in her room collecting dust in my fur. What disrespect. I am becoming super depressed because Molly is neglecting my basic needs as a stuffed animal. Today, I will be showing you what I do when I sit in her room. First, I received a kiss from her when she leaves for school. Jk, she doesn’t love me. What actually happens is what I’m about to tell you. I watch Molly from her blue chair that sits in the corner. Then, I watch her struggle to get out of bed because she is tired. She starts doing tik tok dances while she brushes her teeth then she heads downstairs. Every once and a while while I would hear Molly from downstairs yelling at Emily to teach her how to do a cartwheel. After Molly gets home, she runs upstairs and goes on her phone. Sometimes she blasts music and sometimes she cries watching sad Netflix shows. Then, she leaves for volleyball. After volleyball, she comes back sweaty and gross. She finally starts her homework and gets a shower. After that, her mom yells at her because she has been on her phone too much. Then, she goes down to make her lunch. Lastly, she goes to bed and I watch her talk about Cheese-its in her sleep.
