Dreams by Madeline Evenson

Dreams,
Are the answer,
To all of life’s problems,
They help you escape from reality,
And into a world of possibility,
Where anything can,
Happen.

Daring Diary by Adah Letendre

“My name is Corra. Right now, I am making my very first journal entry in my new diary my mom just bought for me. My goal is to write in this every day until my birthday, on November 6. I’m turning 7 years old. Today, my day was extremely boring with a capital x! First we did spelling, then we wrote for and hour in our journals, then we trudged through an hour of math. Lunch was after that and it was probably the best part of the day. And that’s saying something because eating is sooo over rated. After lunch we had recess, and then a nap. No story time! What’s wrong with this new first grade teacher! Doesn’t she know how to teach!? After nap-time, we had our snack, then we took a bathroom break, and last we went over the alphabet and counted to ten. I learned how to count to one hundred in kindergarten! I hope that it’s more fun tomorrow. Until tomorrow, big iguana. I don’t know what that means, but I saw it somewhere.”

“Corra, pay attention.” Mrs.Brooks said

Nanoism by Amrita Pal

Having eczema has always been hard for me. Having people who care enough to help me through it has shown me the beauty of human nature.

Cookies and Pancakes by Arushi Devgun

“Who wants cookies!” Mom yelled.

“MEEEEE!” Rose yelled back.

The double chocolate chip fudge cookies were waiting on the table. Rose greedily took the whole plate up to her room. She emptied the whole plate of cookies into her mouth. “How are the cookies?” Mom said, tilting her head. “Good.” Rose replied, mouth filled. Suddenly, Mom’s eyes flashed red, fingernails turned into claws, and fangs replaced her canines.

“Sweetie. Come here.” Mom hissed. Rose backed up.

“No.” She said.

“I’ll make you.” Mom said. Mom reached out, gripped Rose’s arm, and bit into Rose’s neck. She felt herself getting vampire features, such as fangs, claws, and red eyes.

“The vampires will thrive.” Mom whispered into her daughter’s ear.


3 years later...

Ever since Rose became a vampire, everyone is in danger of getting the vampire plague. Over half the world are vampires and word is, Rose is in town.

“Astrid! Come get breakfast!” My mom yelled.

“Okay!” I responded. I walked down the stairs and sat at the table.

“Today it’s waffles.” Mom said.

“Are you kidding? That’s Rose’s favorite food!” I said.

“How ‘bout pancakes?” Mom suggested.

“Fine.” I said. Mom took out the frozen pancakes and heated them up. I grabbed the syrup from the fridge and poured it all over the pancakes. I sat down and began to eat. Boom! The wall crumbled. I shielded my face with my hands.

“Stay calm.” Mom said, voice trembling.

“Blooooood.” Rose hissed at Mom and I. “Want blood.”

“Go to your room.” Mom whispered. I ran up to my room.

“AIYEEEE!” I heard a scream from downstairs.

“Blooooood.” Two voices said in unison. I heard the stairs creak and footsteps get louder, and louder, and louder until both Rose and Mom were standing in front of me. I could feel their breath on me as they inched closer and closer until I couldn’t stand it anymore and gave in.

The Collector Probe by Finn Rowles

Prologue

“Our plan is succeeding.” Said the general of the mids. “We have taken the humans to planet B-234.7.

“They think we are joining forces, but we really are just experimenting with them. We are going to experiment weapons on them, as well as many other things. They won’t expect a thing.” He said.

A loud cheering came from the mid crowd below.

“We will finally be free from those stupid information things they send into space, teaching us everything about their species!!” He yelled.

More loud cheering came from the crowd.

“And now, the moment you’ve all been waiting for! We launch the collector probe!” He said.

There was a deafening cheer from the crowd. The collector probe is a twenty mile long spaceship with tons of restaurants, shopping malls, and stuff that humans are obsessed with.

“We will finally have the weapon that wins us the war! The Devourer!” He yelled, as some mids caught the sight of the collector probe travelling at lightspeed. It would take days to arrive.

“We will be the rulers of the universe!” He yelled.

Chapter 1

2 days later...

I was so mad. I had been rejected. Which pretty much meant I had to live in a box under a transport load. Curled up in a corner under my bed, I thought about my parents. My parents had died years ago, due to the War of 2679. The war of 2679 wasn’t just a nuclear war. They had so many weapons. It was horrible. Only about two million people survived. Then the mids came, with their suspicious smiles and friendly personalities. Obviously it was a joke. I mean, aliens don’t come to planets to treat us like kings and queens. A deafening sound of an engine rang from the sky. What now? I looked out the window, and a ship that had to be ten miles long descended from the sky.

“All humans, enter the ship for a relocation to your own planet, A-776.3! Plus, on the ship, there are hundreds of free shopping malls, restaurants, and more!” Said the pilot.

People were running outside, to the ship. “Now, everyone, crowd in a tight circle, elbow to elbow! Don’t worry about the tubes, they’re just here to collect you.” The pilot said, as they sucked up person by person until there was no one left. After a couple of hours, I heard talking.

“We haven’t seen anyone yet, and we’ve been past hundreds of households!” A mid said.

“I know, what a ripoff! Last house. There may be someone in here.” Another one said.

I heard the door open. Two blue mids came into the room, holding gigantic LaserMachines. (Laser machine guns that stun people.)

"I’m gonna check under this-” Before he could finish his sentence, I grabbed his leg and pulled, and he landed right on his face. I grabbed his gun, blasted both of them, and they fell to the ground in a heap. I rubbed my hands together, feeling accomplished. What do I do now? I looked around. Just a gigantic field. But then, right in front of my, the air rippled. A circle of mids appeared. Before I could even say anything, I felt a hot laser hit the back of my head, and I blacked out.

Chapter 1 by Dalton D, Sam H, Siona K, and Mariam K

A shadowed figure sat at a starry pool. She looked around and screamed in horror, for she saw a blood-covered creature. The monster stared deep into her eyes, showing her a vision of her dark, bloody, gruesome death. She heard a voice, but she couldn’t make out what it was saying.
And then I awoke…….

“Max, get up,” Mom said sweetly. I rubbed my eyes and stretched. I had had the weirdest dream last night.  I yawned loudly and flopped back down onto my pillow. “Mom,” I groaned. “Do I have to get up, it’s Monday morning and I’m tired.”
  “Don’t you remember sweetheart, today’s the day you’re finally going to ask him out. I glanced at the calendar. Today’s date was circled in bright, crimson, marker.
“Do I have to?” I asked my mom.
   “If you want to have a date you do.” she replied.
     “Then I’m going back to bed.” I argued.
  “C’mon honey, You’ve got to do it.” Mom attempted on encouraging me, but I knew her tricks.
    “But I don’t want to, and I’m tired.” I groaned.
 “Fine, I’ll leave you in peace, but you’ll change your mind eventually.” Mom said sternly.
  Wow. Mom never gives in that early. Something’s wrong.  Was she playing around with Daniel Miller again? I knew the two of them were a bucket-full of crazy.  
 I got out of bed. I looked at the small window  down the hallway.  No one was in sight of me. I slowly tip-toed to the window. I unlatched the hook, and pulled up the screen. I slowly crawled through the confined space.
   When I got to the other side, I put the screen down, and re-latched the window. I quickly pulled it down.

  I had successfully snuck out. The only problem was that I was in a completely new room, and someone was sitting in a desk a few feet away from me. I gasped.
 Daniel Miller turned around just in time to see my eyes flare with purple flame and the falling of an antique vase.
 “What are you doing here?” asked Daniel.
“Nothing.” I said dumbfoundedly. My power had never failed before. I quickly ducked under a small, round table, right before a shard of iron hit my left foot.
  “What did you just do?” I asked.
 “Nothin.” He said.
   “I know what you did, Daniel.  You’re such a traitor.” I said.
“You don’t know what I did, because I did nothing other than take out the bedroom keys,”he snapped.
  “You didn’t take out the keys out of your pocket, there aren’t even any keys to this room.” I replied.
 “How? Wha? Huh?” sputtered Daniel. I smiled with delight and rolled my eyes. I laughed, ran out of the room, picked up my backpack and lunch, said “Bye mom.” and ran out the door.
