Ghost Savior by Nathan Wu

I was about to splat. I was falling down to the ground. Crack I didn’t splat. Here is my near death survival encounter just for jokes on you. It was Monday. Back to school sucks. Yet I was excited because it seemed fun. I loved going to the history museum. It’s supposedly haunted on the top floor.  I wanted to go. Yet my teacher said. “No.” I sneaked up.

I was with my best friend Satisha. She’s pretty nice so I brought her along. Plus, she’s a teacher’s pet which was good for me. I loved the thought of spending the day at a history museum. Plus it was healthy. I loved ghosts since i was little. I never believed in ghosts though.

Until now.

We approached the top quietly. I was scared to death. Plus I was haunted by the sound of the floorboards. Then I fell. The floorboard tore a hole through the ground. I fell and I fell.

I was going to die for sure then a ghost saved me. I saw it. It was happy-looking. It said “Hi.” It laughed then it disappeared. The last thing I saw before I fainted was a flash.

Snorezilla by Nathan Wu

I woke up because of something. My brother snoring. There has been a myth that 2 brothers who snore can’t sleep together because they’ll wake each other up. It’s the same thing with me and my brother. I snore and he snores. We wake each other. Same thing with dads.

The only reason I sleep with my brother is because my mom’s uncle came. And he slept in my bed. My brother is a Snorezilla. I snore but he snores more than me by at least 5 times. He snores so much that someone had to ask him to stop snoring. In a store when he fell asleep.

I gave him the nickname Snorezilla because he snores so much. In fact, I hoped he was a snoring god. It started about a month ago when he got weird though. His snoring would be like words. Such as “Hi” and “ How are You.” I thought it was weird. Then it became even more weird he would start to snore when he was talking. I thought that he did it at school and he did. At school one day he began to snore. Then he collapsed asleep.

In fact, snoring is what started the you-know-what event. It began like this. One day at school in math class he collapsed asleep. I tried to wake him up. The math teacher saw us and yelled at us. My brother was mad at me. That night he was about to tell mom. But he wasn’t able too. He collapsed and fell asleep. I ran to the nurse. The nurse came out and called 911. The the paramedics came in. They gave him cpr and left. He was snoring so loud that it hurt my ears. I came with the paramedics to the hospital. While they were checking him I was wondering what would happen

A short while later they came in with my mom, they told me this. “ Your brother has deadly narcolepsy, he may never wake up again.” I groaned and passed out

A 77 Word Lesson by Nathan Wu

Life is a fly was my quote. I was a fly.

Ron, a fly wanted fun. He decided to go play with a dog. It did not go well however, he was listening to see if there was a venus flytrap. There wasn’t. He flew straight to the dog. The dog’s tail hit him. He felt a crack and was knocked flying. He was losing consciousness. When he woke up there was a splotch on his body.

Traitor Book 4 by Nathan Wu

The people of the lettuce kingdom were always corrupt. Even before the war they had fought and quarreled. Many lettuce people were betraying the kingdom. Many others were terrorizing the Broccoli kingdom. Lettuce men and women were punished.

When the Broccoli kingdom declared war. The Spinach Kingdom went to help the Lettuce Kingdom. The Broccoli kingdom was exiled forever. The Spinach Kingdom although peaceful. Was terrorized by the Lettuce Kingdom spies. Many Lettuce men wanted the broccoli men to win. Now we will journey to our main character’s mind.

I was crowned a hero with Johnny. But still, no one jumped off the jump anyways. But we were building a ladder down the jump so it didn’t matter. Mitchell Hugh was gone.

We decided to jump off the jump. It wasn’t an idea really. Johnny wanted to meet our friends in the spinach kingdom. The ladder wasn’t finished being built so we just jumped. It was relatively peaceful. The bottom had been coated with goo to break our fall. We landed on the goo. Excited to meet old friends.

We watched in horror. Spinach people and Lettuce men had been completely destroyed. We would soon learn that what we saw wasn’t what we thought.

Arrows whizzed by. I remembered the war before. I wondered why anyone would want to declare war on the lettuce people. Then a soldier went up to me. He said that someone from my kingdom was coming. I looked at the drop hill. Pepe was here. Pepe is the type of guy that loves to fight. He ran up grabbed a gun and rushed in.

Pepe lasted only 20 seconds. Spinach men and women were dying. The soldier that was talking to me died. Me and Johnny were cornered with no ammunition.

We were dead. I regretted re-visiting. We were cornered and we were known as traitors to the Lettuce and the Broccoli kingdom.

The Story of Neal Philius (Part 1)

I was born in awesomeness. I was amazing and awesome. I was always a daredevil.

No parents was the best rule ever. I roamed as I wanted looking for food and dares to do. I also was a troublemaker and a prankster. I loved the thought of pranks and dares.

Then one day I saw a new world. It started like this. I was just walking when mitchell hugh tells me to jump in the Drop. I ran over to the drop. I was thinking of what was underneath. Death. I would be the first to find out. Forever. 

Then I jumped.

The Journey book 3 by Nathan Wu

Johnny and I began to climb our way back to the Roko Republica.

I missed everyone. Even Mitchell Hugh. Too much death was my only thought.

We climbed the whole way it took days and weeks. Finally we arrived. People greeted us happily. 

Even Mitchell Hugh. We held a funeral for Neal Philius. We were heroes forever. Even time can repair because of Neal Philius’s sacrifice and all of the other’s sacrifices to keep us alive. We lived for the rest of time in peace and we allied with the Lettuce and spinach people and defeated the Broccoli people.

The Jump Book 2 by Nathan Wu

   I looked around us. There were pieces of Lettuce everywhere. Johnny started to scream. I did too. Then I fainted. When I woke up I saw the strangest things ever. Spinach people. They looked green and wrinkly. They also looked delicious. Then I saw Neal Philius. Johnny was looking in horror at the people. I was too. Then I saw the knives.

It turns out the knives were for cooking not eating us. They had put pieces of fish into the stew for us to eat. They had also roasted potatoes and lettuce. Neal then told me that he had fell into their kingdom and had decided to stay. He also told us that if we wanted to leave we could leave. He told us that we could leave at any time we wanted to tell our story.

Then I heard the noise of a siren. The Broccoli people were declaring war on the Lettuce people.

Over the period of 5 years many died. Johnny, me, Neal Philius and Commander Mad Hatter lived.

The only way we survived was by eating the Broccoli people along the way that were dead. We killed many, but war is war. Then one day when we were resting, a virus came. It took over Commander Mad Hatter’s mind. He went crazy and disappeared never to be seen again. Commander Bird joined us. While we were going crazy inside we continued to fight.

I had seen many people die myself. I felt like I was dying. The virus had struck a bunch of people. Our regiment had to wear nets and glass masks to stop the virus. We also had to wash our hand 24/7. Then one day when we were marching we heard the enemy siren. An arrow flew by and hit Neal Philius. He fell to the ground. That night we buried him. It felt like the worse loss we ever had. We had to bury him deep and put rocks over his grave. That way scavengers would not dig him up. Another day, we saw 5 lettuce men blow up because of a land mine. They were evaporated never to be seen again.

Then one day we had a gigantic war. I launched cyanide bombs into the enemy territory killing some people. I always thought of the broccoli as people not gigantic broccoli. Then one day a bullet hit commander bird. I had always thought he would survive. But instead he died late that night. Now it was only me, Johnny and a soldier called Mat. Many more died. Then one day we were going to launch an attack. We rowed across the river to surprise the enemy.

We attacked. I shot arrows. Johnny launched grenades. “Crap.” Johnny said. He groaned. "I’m out!. Are you?" he asked. 

"No” I said. Then we saw Mat die as he ran across the field and was shot in the neck. I continued my attack despite my sadness.

Then we heard a siren. We had won the war. I loved the thought of going back to the human world. I began my journey back with Johnny.

The Drop by Nathan Wu

Where I lived there has always been a jump at the hill. It was gigantic drop. Except we called it the jump. No one knew what was behind it. Because we were all kids. In fact, the whole neighborhood was kids. You see we live on a planet called Roko Republica. It’s all kids. No adults. If you’re asking if we die. We don’t ever die. In fact, we’re all immortal. However, none of us would ever go on the jump. In fact there was just darkness below. Nothing else. Nobody had ever went near it. Until one day…

 Me and Johnny had always been friends. In fact, we had been friends forever. We seemed to like the same things. Pizza, ice cream, pranks, video games. Still we had never dared to go near the jump. There was nothing below the jump… well except darkness that made your blood freeze. I hated the feeling when you got close to the jump. In fact, we had never even spoken too much of it. Only one person had ever jumped off the jump. His name was Neal Phileas. He had always been a daredevil and troublemaker. So no one was surprised when he jumped. Of course, he was never seen again. In fact we never even heard the thud when he landed at the bottom.

It seemed that no one would jump of the hill until one day when me and Johnny were fishing. We had always loved fishing. It seemed natural to us. We were boys of course, fishing was part of our lives. In particular however the day seemed odd. First, we spotted a black cat. Which was bad luck already. Then our rods got tangled in the weeds and we had to cut our walleye line. Then I tripped and fell into the lake. All of this seemed bad. But what’s real bad is happening next. 

Sylvia runs into me . She starts to scream. I ask what’s happening. Then she screams “ he stole my toy.” Then comes along Mitchell Hugh. Mitchell Hugh is one of those boys that even the toughest of the kids find scary. He had biceps as big as my whole body. I punched him and gave Sylvia’s toy back to her. Then she ran. 

Then me and Johnny both tackled him. He easily pushed us off of him. In fact, he seemed amused that we tackled him. Then he tackled Johnny into the dock. I was surprise the dock didn’t break. Finally after he was done punching Johnny he whispered to us “If you don’t want to more trouble, jump off the jump”.

I groaned with Johnny in unison. We both knew this was coming. I figured we were dead either way so I just said “yes.” That was a mistake I would regret.

He pushed us to the Jump then he said “Don't tell anyone.”

Me and Johnny held hands and jumped. My ears popped and I screamed. We were falling at possibly thousand feet per second.

Then we hit the ground. I saw the scene and said “Oh no.” 

Johnny nodded in unison.

Yeti Sighting by Nathan Wu

The Yeti/Abominable Snowman is supposedly a creature living in the Himalayas.

The first sighting was in 1921 the second in 1925. The Yeti was seen yesterday wrecking a tourist hotel in the Himalayas. After running around for some time a brave explorer shot it with a rifle. Accidental contact with the remains caused people began to turn into Yeti’s. Scientists are calling it Mad Yeti disease. Bigfoot may also have the same type of thing as the Yeti’s, so if you see anything that looks like a yeti or big foot don’t shoot it. Also, The Yeti has a fierce personality so if you see one do this.

1. Take cover
2. Don’t move
3. If it runs at you punch it in the nose
4. Run,Run,Run
5. Carry a pistol and shoot it if you can’t do anything else
6. Don’t make it mad

Also before we leave, do the same thing with Bigfoot.

Folding Bamboo Shoots by Nathan Wu

Felix wasn’t sure he was feeling well. In fact he hadn’t been feeling well for a long time.

       He hoped he would feel well soon. He had been noticing that he was coughing up blood. He was also experiencing chest pain. He hadn’t told his parents yet. In fact. He didn’t even know where his parents were. He was lucky to be alive he thought. He had survived many Isis bombings and assassinations. He knew that his parents could be dead.

    The smoke from the guns and the bombs weren’t good for him though. He knew that too much smoke could give lung cancer. Plus, he was experiencing some symptoms of lung cancer. But then again, didn’t everyone in the base cough up blood and have chest pain? In fact, he was actually pretty healthy. He hoped that he would get better by New Year’s Day. Today was 9/12/2023. The war with Isis had raged over 20 years. He just hoped he would recover. He could only hope. Over the course of the next 3 months he recovered quite a lot he thought. He still coughed up blood though. Then, one day at basketball he felt dizzy. His chest hurt so much he collapsed.

He woke up to see the lights of the Red Cross/Red Crescent hospital. The nurses just shook their heads. He knew that he had lung cancer by the looks of their faces. He had also heard that many people in the Red Cross/Red Crescent perished. Then he began the long fight. He gradually progressed and decreased. He had to get 5 shots each day however. Then one day his classmate came in. He told him that if he folded a Bamboo shoot each day and he folded 10000, he would survive his lung cancer.

He began. He knew that he would have to fold 30 each day. Folding 1 was hard work with his cancer and his sickness. He would have to keep this up. For almost a year.

3 months Later.

He was sick. Very sick. Whenever his nurses came in he saw them shaking their heads and sometimes whispering. He knew he was about to die. He had only folded 3000 and he was almost out of energy. He couldn’t believe Isis was actually winning the war. He knew that he would still live if they won the war. He had always wanted to see Isis lose the war. Most of the patients had died already. He had watched their lifeless stiff bodies dangle and be cremated. He had watched more than a kid should watch in a lifetime he thought. The nurse came in and gave him a shot and left without saying anything. He knew that he would die soon.

He began to fold more Bamboo shoots. He also knew that his parents were dead. The nurse had told him the other day. He groaned with irritation. The Bamboo shoot slipped from his hand. He only hoped that he could walk in a month. Over the next few days his condition just became worse.

He couldn’t walk without help and he didn’t have an appetite. He began to see stars and became dizzy.

Then at once something cheered him up the next day. The nurse had told him that Isis had lost a base on their territory. Gradually over the next few days, although he was still declining, he was feeling better. He thought he was living because of the news.

Then it came. Isis had lost. Their commander Abu-y-Tuiop had been killed.

The U.S quickly forced Isis to surrender.

Felix's condition still worsened day by day. He had fought. He had given all of his strength to the cause of war. He had no protection left. He felt dizzy. He saw lights

 Finally on the tragic day he saw nurses and other people coming in. He started to hallucinate. He felt the glow of the lights. He stopped thinking. The last thing he saw were the bright lights. Then after a fighting for quite a bit he was dead.

He had folded 5476 bamboo shoots. The remaining 4524 were folded by nurses and other people and classmates.

He was buried in a tomb with the bamboo shoots.

A futuristic retelling of SADAKO AND THE PAPER CRANES (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sadako_and_the_Thousand_Paper_Cranes)

The Ghost From the Grave by Nathan Wu

I knew I was dead. I couldn’t touch the altar. I would be killed.

Then she disappeared, forever.

This was from Nan Tuck who allegedly poisoned her husband. According to witnesses she was chased into the woodlands. Then she disappeared. She never was seen again. Maybe she died. Maybe she went to another world. Who knows. All we know is that she disappeared forever.

She still haunts the lane to this day. Witnesses say that she makes moaning noises and urges people into the woodlands to who knows what. She appears with bloody eyes and pale skin.

Guy Stewart says this. “ I was walking down the road when a lady with bloody eyes appears out of nowhere. She asks me to go into the woodland. I say what the heck. No way. She then moans and screams. Now I’m in a car and I instantly close the windows and speed away. I think I’ll die of fear. She then disappears and I run.

A life Lesson by Nathan Wu

I’ve always liked animals. The life lesson is that animals may seem nice but they can be evil. Let me take into my own account of how evil a animal is and how scary they could be.

On my 10th birthday my mom took me to a turtle breeder to buy a turtle. I chose a snapping turtle. I fed it a minnow and put it in a fish tank. It then crawled onto my hand and started to wiggle. It seemed so nice. My days with the Turtle passed fairly well until one day…

I woke up and found out that my turtle had a cold. It was snoring and barely conscious.

I took it to the doctor to get it checked out. My day at school was very worrisome I wanted to see the turtle. Right after school was over I did the usual. Avoid bullies, do homework, eat dinner. Then I picked up turtle.

The nurse told me that he got strep throat but he would be fine and would live. Yet something seemed different he seemed to have red eyes and when I picked him up he tried to bite. I took him home and put him into his tank. He didn’t seem to know how to swim. I figured he might be tired so I put him on his land bed and turned on the uv light for him.

At night I usually took him out. He had gotten bigger so I took him out. I let him walk around on my hand for a bit. Then he suddenly jumped on my stomach. I tried to fight but I felt sleepy for some reason.

Then he bit me. That was the last thing I saw. I just don’t know what my mom’s reaction will be.

Mystery Chronicles #2 By Nathan Wu

Elliot was instantly frightened. He had no food,money or anything. Plus, he was still hungry because he had no breakfast. Plus Italian food looked nasty. Finally a police officer came by and seeing Elliot he beat him unconscious with a mace and a baton. Then he took him to the police station in a horsecar. Once there he was questioned and hit several times in the face with a whip. But he didn’t speak Italian so he had no answers. He didn’t even understand the questions. He then was thrown in a cell and was tortured until he was unconscious. Then the police left.

The second he woke up he said, “What the crap?” Unfortunately the police officer knew american “swear words” he punched Elliot in the face and tried to kill him with a mace. Elliot had taken kung fu. So he grabbed the mace and threw the police officer in the cell. He then ran away.

He was alone on the streets he had some new clothes a revolver and $100 he took.

He first went to a store to eat some squid ink noodles. They didn’t actually taste that bad he found out. He then stole some money and ran over 50 miles away. He spent the night in the barn and woke up the next morning with a ambitious goal. Form a gang.

He yelled “No.”

The last thing he saw was the bullet.

Very Hard Riddle by Nathan Wu

Many have heard me, but nobody has seen me, and I will not speak back until spoken to.

What am I?

Exploring The Supernatural by Nathan Wu

In folklore, the Loch Ness Monster is an aquatic being which reputedly inhabits Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands. However, it was spotted again today in the Loch Ness lake with it’s head over the waves. Witness Guy Stewart says that it was 30 feet tall and looked a lot like the plesiosaurus. Could it be possible that the Loch Ness monster is a Plesiosaurus? Highly not. The depth although 755 feet. Is still to small for a Plesiosaurus. Plus the fish diet is too small. Also many ghosts have also been seen near Loch Ness. Is it a premonition of paranormal or no? Nessie is very hungry and is very voracious however. She may have ate every fish in the Lake by now if she did exist. However. We have no idea how fast fish are produced in Lake Loch Ness and how often fish dies. Nature often takes care of their bodies fast. So who knows. Let’s imagine we’re Nessie. She’s probably scared and is probably hiding in the deepest point currently.
Witness’s testimony includes this text. “ I was aware of a Giant shape in the water and it looked like a plesiosaurus the day was foggy the water was murky and I was a little sick.” First of all if the day was foggy and the water was murky. He may have mistaken Nessie for a submarine. Also since he was sick he may have hallucinated. Do you think Nessie would pop her head out of the surface and say hi. No, even animals have common logic. She would be sent to the zoo instantly and would die. 

The first sighting was in 1933. How come there was no sighting earlier. Do you think Nessie just popped up. From 1933-2015 there were sightings. How would a reptile have lived 82 years. Bass live 16 years. Anyways most of the witness accounts are speculation or have serious doubt. And some witnesses denied seeing the Loch Ness and stated that they only said that they saw the Loch Ness because others said they did. However, Loch Ness is of serious doubt and is very unlikely to exist. If it does exist is it the same Loch Ness Monster. I doubt it. It was spotted in spots all around the lake and the lake.

The lake extends 23 miles. So therefore, I don’t understand how it would swim so far. In a day there was once 24 sighting in different spots. All around the lake. If it does exist how many Plesiosaurus’s are there. 3, 25, we can only guess. It lived 199.6-175.6 Million years ago. In the Early Jurassic. How would it exist without being caught after it supposedly died 175.6 million years ago.

Swamp Elements by Nathan Wu

In the heart of the swamp an army of frogs dwelled. They were extremely misfortunate as they always lost against the toads. The frog’s poison had no effect on the toads. One of the frogs even offered to have Belladonna poured on him to kill the toads. However, their plan was changed after the toads stole the Belladonna.

One frog called Baloo had seen how hard it was on the frogs. His family had been killed mercilessly by the toads and their teeth. He decided to think of a plan.

He first reunited a small army of frogs to help him. Most of the frogs were his friends and his sisters/brothers. He decided to not directly attack the toads but put stronger defense against the toads. He trained his frogs on how to pour cyanide on the toads by seeking higher position. How to throw spears,coconuts,stink bombs and dead fish.

He also assigned the defense frogs swords,spears and medium armor that way they would have more defense and be more powerful. He then decided to lead a small group of frogs to plant some stink bombs in the fish’s territory. Then he put some in the toads territory when they were both asleep. When they woke up they immediately started to fight each other. The toads and the fish raged a long war over some stink bombs. Many toads and fish died and the costs of the war made both the toads and fish bankrupt.

While the toads and the fish fought. The frogs slept, got money and hired more frogs to join their army. As a result the frogs became much more powerful in economy and defensive. When the toads and the fish both surrendered the frogs immediately attacked both armies. As a result most of the Toads and fish died. The remaining toads and fish were killed and ate. As a result of Baloo the frogs beat both the toads and the fish and ruled the swamp. As for Baloo he lived 15 human years and died. When he died his son became the new strategist and using the same tactic as Baloo. He conquered all of the frog’s enemies and made a bunch of new allies and friends.
