...I woke up. The humming of Justin Biebers new single shook me awake. As I sang to the fresh new song, the warming sound of the cars hopping along sang in my ear. I held tight on the satisfactory crepes. Today was my day and nothing was going to stop me. My popularity began. The sound of a hundred dings rang in my ear. I am the most popular girl in the school. At last the peace of the holidays held me in its hands. It all stopped. The humming of Justin Biebers new single changed into the swacking anger birds. The warming sound of the cars hopping along began to creek like a cricket. Instead of me holding tight on the satisfactory crepes, I shunned away the smell of waste. I soon realized, that I was not in safety. I was in the “holiday of...

...insulting her. It didn't matter to him how sad he made her. One day, without knowing how, he woke up in an immense and lonely place. He was sitting on a rock from which four huge pillars rose up into the sky, appearing to support the entire world. He was all alone, but soon an enormous flock of crows with beaks made of steel landed on the rock, and set about violently chipping away at it. After the crows left, a mysterious door in one of the pillars opened, and through it came a charming and pretty girl. -"Have you come to help us? That's great! We need all the people we can get." The boy was puzzled, and spotting his confusion, the little girl explained. -"So you don't know where you are? This is the centre of the Earth. These pillars support the whole planet, and this rock keeps the pillars in place." -"And how can I help you?" said the boy, confused. -"Well, to help look after the rock, of course. Anyone can see by your face that you're the best person for the job," answered the girl, -"The birds you saw are only increasing in number, and if we don't look after this rock it will eventually crumble and everything will come crashing down.” -"And what do you see in my face?!" exclaimed the boy, surprised. -"I've never looked after a rock in my whole life!" -"But you'll learn how, even if you've never done it. Here, look in this mirror," said the girl, holding one in front of the boy's face. The boy could clearly see he now had the face of a bird...

...Chapter 1 The bright blue moon was just starting to rise when the girl woke up in the eerie dark forest. She looked around and took in her surroundings. She notice that it was cold and dark. A breeze past by her sending her into a fit of shivers. She didn't know where or how she ended up here, but she knew that she has to get out. She got up trying to figure out which way to go when she saw a dim, but bright light, heading her way. Her head told her to stay but her heart said to hide somewhere. She nodded her head and hid behind the nearest tree next to her. As the light got nearer, she saw a very giant figure holding the light that looked to be a lamp. "Hullo? Anyone there?", A gruff voice called out. The girl peeked out, only showing her green doe eyes. The giant figure waited to get closer to her hiding spot and knelt down on one knee. She quickly duck her head behind the trunk of the tree. The figure laughed and said," 'Ey, I'm not gunna hurt yeh. I just wanted to see who you are and what you are doing here in the Forbidden Forest." The girl scoffed in her head knowing he wasn't going to hurt her. She just wanted to see what she was going to say. She stuck her head out and got a good look at him before she replied." Hi, I'm... I'm..", She struggled to remember what her name was. She just shook her head and said," I don't remember my name or how I got wherever this place is." The giant man just sat there, stroking his long bush beard that covered most of his face. As...

... Today was a very intense day for me. I can't begin to explain the situation I was put into. Myself and my younger brother Joey were playing when we were supposed to be working near our barn this morning when I thought I heard a cry. I ignored it, but it kept coming back. It was so faint that I didn't think anything of it. Maybe it was an animal somewhere, I thought? Anyways, we kept on playing, trying not to get caught because we weren't doing our chores. If we were caught not doing our chores than we would be sent inside to do housework with mom, and everyone knows, housework with mom is torture. Anyways, it was way too nice outside to be stuck inside doing work. It must be in the 90's today. The cry that I was hearing grew louder and louder. The cries turned into sobs and I heard the words mommy and daddy. I then knew, somebody was in the barn. They couldn't have been much older than me by the sound of their voice. Yet I was still scared. This was very unusual. Not everyday do you hear cries coming from your barn. Instead of running to get daddy, I made Joey go in first He's six years old. A year younger than me. I'm a lot braver than him but today think I was a little chicken to find out who was in the barn. To our surprise, a girl to have looked to be about my age, wearing a dirty blue and white striped uniform. She didn"t have any shoes on, her hair was a mess. Dirt had stained her face and her face was as puffy as a balloon. I can tell she had been crying for days...

Jackson and Archie followed behind the bickering girls and stayed quiet. “Why do they always do this?” whined Archie. Archie was very nice, but followed everything Reese told her to do. “I don’t want to get caught. What if we get caught” replied Jackson. Jackson was very quiet and didn’t know how to talk to people. Archie ignored Jackson’s worries, since she is always paranoid....

My anxiety hat taken over my body. The day started with my mother came into my room and woke me up, but I was already up.

When I had found my class and everybody were together, we had to find some seats. On each table there was a note with each name on it, a juice and an apple. I went around in the classroom long before I found my name, I had to sit next to somebody named Philip. When everybody had found their seats, the parents were asked to leave the class. There I was a alone amongst twenty new faces....

...Horse... It had been a rough day. Dawn was beat, I was tired, time to rest. A stable is the best place to sleep. Warm, soft, dry hay, plenty for Dawn to eat. I closed the barn doors, and Dawn huffed. I climbed the ladder that led to the top layer of the barn. A cold, heavy, and strong breeze blew through the window. I closed it and latched the ladder way. I took off my dirty shirt, and slipped off my worn down boots. I grabbed the covers from my bag sitting in the left corner of the barn. I light the lantern that was in there to. Wrapping myself in the covers, and wadding some hay for a pillow, I dozed off. The next rainy morning I got myself dressed, and got on Dawn. Me and Dawn are running away from the law. I killed the man who killed my...

...Doctors have been left baffled after a Chinese pensioner woke from a two-week coma speaking perfect English - but not a word of her native language. Liu Jieyu, 94, had been unconscious for a fortnight after suffering a stroke, which doctors had feared she may not recover from. When she finally awoke, the retired teacher asked in perfect English: 'Where am I? What is happening?' Surprised doctors were left even more confused when it became clear Ms Jieyu - who used to teach English - had lost all ability to speak her native Chinese. An English-speaking doctor was brought in to talk to the pensioner, who confirmed she was speaking the language perfectly - although a little slowly. Her shocked family say while Ms Jieyu had taught English previously, she had not spoken the language in more than 30 years. They say said she had stopped using English after retiring to live with her family on the outskirts of the city of Changsha, in southern China's Hunan province. RELATED ARTICLES Medic Tao Hou, 45, said: 'I can't ever remember having a case like this before but we anticipate with proper rehabilitation and rest she should regain the ability to speak Chinese. 'We assume that the area dealing with her ability to speak Chinese has been damaged, but brain cells to have an ability to repair themselves to a certain extent we would hope to see at least some improvement.' Ms Jieyu was admitted to hospital after suffering a type of stroke called a cerebral infarction, where the blood...

The boy loved to hunt, you see. That’s part of it. The boy and girl, husband and wife, father and mother, they lived in a little apartment under a dentist’s office. Each night they cleaned the dentist’s place upstairs in exchange for rent and utilities. In summer they were expected to maintain the lawn and the flowers. In winter the boy shoveled snow and spread rock salt on the walks. Are you still with me? Are you getting the picture? I am, she says. That’s good, he says.

He sees the tile rooftops and the snow that is falling steadily on them. Tell the story, she says. The two...

...Haunted Blade I never really believed in things being haunted or anything supernatural at all in my life, at least not until a few nights ago. Right now I’m writing this on a piece of toilet paper with my own blood and a needle I stole from one of the nurses here at the mental ward. They’re going to lock me up forever once they find me. This needs to be recorded now. I was a normal rebellious kid, senior year, cars, girls, and drinking the nights away at parties. I passed my classes and had a future at college. The other things were just fun on the side. I couldn't really stress about school 24/7. The night I lost my mind was the night of the biggest house party of the year. A house overflowing with high school kids, alcohol, weed, and bodily fluids. I can't go into much detail due to the lack of time I have, and I can't really remember what else happened at the party. All I know is that it was...fun, the last amount of fun I would ever really have at a party....

...Cosette Wood The Amazing Adventures of Rozebell Robin Once upon a time there lived a little girl named Rozeabell Robin. She was as little as a worm. She was raised by a skunk, but the skunk sold her an orphanage. Something scary happened...at the very moment she got sold she was gone! One minute she was in a dark hall filled with beds and the next minute she was in a tree. When she woke up to find herself in the tree she was very curious how she had gotten there. She looked around and saw a family of birds living on the branch next to her. They were busy eating worms for breakfast and didn't notice her until she said "Hello". The birds were startled at first because they thought she was a worm since she was so small. Rozeabell started waving at them so the birds would know she was nice, and then the birds realized she was a little girl. The birds invited Rozeabell to have breakfast with them. "How did you get into this tree?" the birds asked Rozeabell. ''I don’t know."she continued,''I do know that i'm lost." Just then a hawk flew by and she was gone.

...Prince Charming (NOT!) I met John* when I was sixteen-years-old. We dated on and off in high school and several years after high school. I actually married someone else when I was twenty-three, all the time wishing it was him. I even daydreamed about him coming to the church and standing up when the preacher said “Is there anyone here who has any reason that this couple should not wed?”! (You know the scene, a knight in shining armor on a white horse who whisks you away and you live happily ever after.) But I wanted to be married, and he didn’t stop the wedding, so I was married to another man for about a year. I finally realized that I was not, and would never be, in love with him, so we divorced. Not long after that I started dating John. We dated for about a year and then married. I should’ve known that it wasn’t going to be a great marriage. There were red flags everywhere. But with my rose-colored glasses on, I didn’t pay too much attention to them. The newlywed phase was great. We went places and did things together (like couples should). But after that first year and the first child, things went downhill. I had always worked, but now found myself a stay-at-home mom (to a beautiful baby girl!) and housewife. After a while, the walls began to close in on me. I felt trapped. We never did anything together anymore, nor as a family. John loved to fish and hunt and that took up most of his free time when he wasn’t working. Hudnall 2 So...
