…….. Many different cultures celebrate the end of October and beginning of November as a time to observe All Saints Day, All Souls Day, Samhain, or Halloween. To honor these multi-cultural celebrations, we invite student stories on the themes of Halloween, Those Who Came Before, and Saints and Heroes...... We ask that the stories be interesting, a little spooky is okay, but nothing gruesome. If you would like to honor an ancestor, build a Days of the Dead altar in your classroom as some of our teachers do, or tell the story of a Saint of Hero, we welcome your work and will add it to our permanent archive…………… Along with stories, we welcome scanned art work or project photographs too. Let's make this YOUR GALLERY of student work! This 'virtual campfire' will be open through November 1st so teachers, gather up your students works and let’s get in the spirit of the great storytellers. Classroom posting the most works will win a Mark Twain CD ROM about the master of storytelling himself.

There in the tub was a man bleeding and dead. There he found black skin. The man feared for his life, and thought there was a murder in his house.

So, later that night, the man went to sleep and dreamed that a immortal was running after him. He heard the floor creaking and screamed.He was so secured he jumped out the window and blood came out his mouth. He yelled bloody Merry. The whole town vanished due to the scariness.

Bloody Finger
A boy was walking home from school one day. It had just started to rain all of a sudden. He had to find a place to get away from the rain. While the boy was looking, he found an old abandoned barn. The boy went inside, it was dark and scary looking. There were tractor pieces everywhere and knives hanging from the ceiling, making dangling noises like wind chimes. All of a sudden, the boy heard a ghost like voice saying,”Bloody finger!” The boy got frightened and ran out as fast as he could.
A second boy came, he too found the abandoned barn and went inside. He got scared and got an urge to go, but still wanted to look at everything inside. The boy heard a voice, and jumped. The voice said,”Bloody finger!” even scarier than the the first time. Afraid out of his wits, he ran out, screaming like a girl who saw a spider.
The third boy came. The went inside the old barn. He wasn’t too scared. The next thing he knew, the voice was calling to him,”Bloody finger!” even scarier that he first had second time. He just stood their, with his lazy looking eyes and a purple beanie on his head and muttered,”Put a band-aid on it, dude .” The voice declared,”Okay, I guess.”

I returned my seat to its up right position, right after it was some how levitating in the air and had fallen. At first I was really scared but now I am just curious and confused. Just before I was about to leave the room, it happend again it was right thre in front of me floating. After about five seconds it fell to the floor. I went to go put it back to its up right position but before I could do that I saw something that was hidding in the shadows of the chairs. I went to go turn on the lights but for some reason the fuse for the hole house was broken. I got my metal baseball bat and went to go see what it was. I moved the chair and thre I saw a shadow of a human but then I took a closer look and saw something or someone that was about three feet tall and had a really big haed. For amoment we stared at each other and then it disappeared.

THE LAW ABOUT THE DOOR.... The law of the door, that specific door... We could not speak of it,...It was forbidden to speak of it... The law was not to open it.... I constantly asked my self why is it that we live in a community where opening a door is against the law, and forbidden....Though the actions if someone opened it they would be punished.I once thought of trying it....I ponder upon if someone was to open it ,what would they see....Was someone hiding there or was someone hiding something.....For if the law was not to open it ...it was probably something of great importance...Here I am standing in front of the door... Should I open it....I remembered hearing people speak of a little girl that once opened it and never came back...I stand there wondering if I would be breaking any laws if I opened it NOW!!!!!..... There I am on the other side.... But wait I am not the same.... I am a little girl.
For I have gone back in time....So I thought to my self.. the little girl that people spoke about was me all along...I have been to a place called THE OTHER SIDE.

I wondered if I should enter this old house on halloween night. Legend said that anyone who enters this house on Halloween night will vanish. Even if its not Halloween; no one dares to go in. Now it is Halloween night. As I walk closer and closer to the house, my heart jumped a beat. I'm almost there and I can hear my heart beat faster and faster as I get even nearer. I reached the door and it felt that my heart came to a stop. As I reached for the door knob I felt shivers up my spine. I pushed myself to open it and as it unlocked I felt a cold breeze sweeping across my body . I step in and walked around the house. The house was dark and the floor creaked like it was alive. Rats and spiders occupied the house. I found a candle and lit it up but another cold breeze blew it out. I ran out of matches and couldn't open the jammed door. I stood there for awhile not knowing what to do. I suddenly thought of searching the house for another exit. I went upstairs and found the restroom light on. I was terrified and wanted to leave as fast as I could, but I needed the restroom so badly so I used it anyway. I came back out and a force pulled me through another dark room. The room suddenly felt like it was actually moving and suddenly that door opened. I step back out and ran back downstairs. I took the first solid thing I could find and began to charge at the door hoping I could break loose. As I hit harder and harder I began to hear voices, spooky voices. I froze and felt my body getting numb. I suddenly screamed,"Who are you! Show yourself!" A figure appears and I screamed in shock of its ugly face. "Ha, ha, ha! I told you that I could scare you!", cried a familiar voice. It was his friend Ricky. "I can't believe you did this to me!" I screamed.

VAMPIRES By Roberto
It was a stormy night when the vampire came. A person who lives in the house was there
when the vampire attacked. The person screamed, “ahhhhh.” The mayor said, “we won’t
let that vampire kill everybody.” Manolo tried to kill the vampire, but the vampire cut the
sword in half. Manolo ran away. He called the mayor. The mayor said, “we have no
hope.” But Manolo didn’t know he had power. Manolo did something and he let out his
power. He went to the vampire and punched and kicked him Manolo used all his energy.
The vampire said, “we will meet again.” The mayor said, “thank you for saving our
village.” The end.

Ricky Zhou-Ms. Pearson,p.2, Nightingale M.S.: . . . . Wed, Oct 30, 9:27AM PST (-0800 GMT)
In a Jungle, not that far away. The great one was born. His name is Ricky Zhou. He is known as "The One". He was the prince of the Jungle.
One mile away, a land called the land of the free was bewitched. Everyone fell asleep forever because a witch put a spell on everybody. The only way to dispel the spell was to destory the witch.
Back in the Jungle, The One was chasing a turtle. That turtle ran with two legs. Damn, that turtle was fast, Ricky ran as fast as he could, but then he stopped because he needed to use the restroom. After he used the restroom, he looked around. Now he realized that he was lost. Ricky looked around, he was in New York city. He saw people on the street asleep. Then he blinked and saw an lady with an ugly face in front of him. Man, it was horrible, her eyes were cross eyed, her nose was long, you could see a big bacteria growing on it. Ricky backed away and started to vomit. Then thw witch started to put a spell on Ricky, but he was too adorable so the spell didn't work. Then, the witch got closer trying to eat Ricky. Ricky kicked her ugly face and her nose broke off. Then the witch started to melt and everybody woke up.
After that kick, Ricky saw the turtle and started to chase after it. They ran around the world and now he is remembered as "The One"

I wondered if I would be breaking any laws if I opened it now. For many years I lived with my aunt and uncle, they did not allow me to open the door. I was told that if I were to ever open it, I will be locked up in chains and never face ths society ever again. I didn't mean to pass by and look at it but as I was toying with my dolls I accidently dropped it. Full of curiousity, I really wanted to anxiously find out what's behind the basement. It doesn't have anything special about it. This strange instinct inside me tells me that sooner or later I'll break a law or two. And I know both my guardians will be extremely upset with me they'll probably starve me to death. All of a sudden my heart starts to beat faster and faster, and my hands are shaking. If I open it now, they won't ever find out, I mean I'm the only one home right now. Without any hesitation, I opened the door. With a loud scream, I then saw unbearable things. I saw a little girl lying on the floor with her eyes closed! My heart sank from the top of the skies to the bottom of the earth's crust. My eyes were filled with endless tears. I was wondering who could the little girl be? How did she get in here. I ran out of the basement gasping for air. I picked up the phone and dialed 911.

Cloud had destroyed the scream team Cloud wanted to fight more so he went around the block looking for someone to fight. Finally he spotted a ninja turtle they fought for a couple of minutes but Cloud won. He cut off his head and turned him into a turtle soup. Cloud got really tired. He went back home and slept until next HALLOWEEN.

Fierce Guardian
Let me tell you what happened: how I died. I was sleeping and for the longest time I stopped having dreams. Everyday I was locked in darkness, but it all changed with the white room. I fell asleep after a standard day of school, homework and TV watching. I closed my eyes and I was standing in the middle of a white room, sounding of beautiful music glowing, in white. I guess I was in heaven because a sign said "Heaven". The white glow was blinding me so I had to start squinting. I blinked and I was back in my room. "Aw, nuts" I whined. I went back to sleep and about an hour later I woke up and it was time to go to school. The
day was freaky for me because I torched the wood shop, torched my PE uniform, and I torched a lot of stuff with an acccidental firey blast and my friends Jason, Jian and Michael had a weird experience as well with them having Ice power, Water power and Thunder power. I went back to the room again that night and this time a man was standing there. He was a shadow shaped man who was a little taller than I was. "Get out of my dream!" I yelled. I just wanted to forget my bad troubles. "I sense an element within you. Ah yes it has
awakened and it is soon to be mine.Now fork it over!"
he demanded. The wind whispered for me not to do it.
"No." I defied. "Argh!" he screamed. A heroic suit of armor kicked the bad guy and they began to argue. The good guy wanted to save me and he hit the bad guy with a blue and white blast and the bad guy flew away. The armor fell to his knees and said I was going to be the next Fierce Guaradian. Then he died. The next morning a watch was waiting for me to unleash my element. MY friends had watches too. A new student came in and was rude and mean to everyone. It wasn't long before I had to stand up for everyone. "I will take you and your friends' powers." Oh no it was the Bad guy from my dream. "You!" He transformed into the Shadow Phantom. "I can't let you do this, I can't let you hurt anyone, Shadow." I said angrily. He lunged into the air as if he was going away. THe next night I found myself
in the streets with him and he was trying to suck out my
power, but I refused and I hit him with a firey blast and called for backup. I was all alone and I was turning into
a monster as I was pounding him for my feelings were hurt because he had threatened and insulted my family.
"Jose stop look at yourself you're a monster!" screamed Jason. Oh no he's right. I stoppped and I turned around. "Phantom you are now warned leave us alone and you will not be hurt badly." I warned because next time he won't get lucky. HE shot a blast and I said Ican't be killed with simple weapons. "All right." The next day he left school and we never saw him again until the begininng of the new year. He began pulling out all the stops and showed no mercy towards anyone. All of this went on unitl my birthday which was supposed to be a special occassion. "He didn't take
us seriously and now he will pay for all he has done." I said solemnly. "I think you're right, Jose." Agreed Jian. "He must be stopped." said Michael. He went up to us and said that one of us would die after school. We were all terrified. After school we all met up at the blacktop and waited. He showed up and it began. We all used our element to try to stop him, but then he turned them against us and we were getting weak. I decided I wasn't
going to go down so easily. "I'm going down fighting." I
charged towards him and my friends saw me and they
were stunned that I was taking him on myself. I wasn't myself anymore, I was now THE FIERCE GUARDIAN. I
was locked in battle hoping I would defeat this weirdo,
i wanted to do something good for everyone. Then I hit
him with a powerful energy blast. He was too weak I
thought. I thought i was finished, but then as i turned around he leaped into the air with a sword and he had
driven the sword into my stomach. "You lose, Jose Arrayales!" he taunted. It's all over i thought and then it hit me. "No. If i die I'm taking you with me.Ugh!! .So... you lose!" I drove the sword into his dark Shadow diamond that kept him alive. We both went down slowly me with a heroic act, and him with a miserable failure.
The whole world saw me die after doing some thing I wanted to do: something good for everyone. I never saw
my cake or presents, Aw nuts!

Who, What Am I?
It was Tuesday 9:30 PM, I just finished watching my favorite television series, Smallville. Man I love this show! Sometimes I just wonder, what if there is someone out there? If Clark Kent was able to hold on to his big secret, why can't it be possible? Anyone could be a Clark Kent, maybe they keep it to themselves. Who wouldn't want to be Clark Kent? Yes of course, all that x-ray vision, incredible speed, and super masculine stuff. Oh and who would want to forget those awesome, hunky, good looks. Man! He makes the girls go "ahhh!" Well anyway, did Clark know that he would have all those abilities? Well he may have had a sense of knowing but did I know? ...........
My name is Julius and I am 13 years young, life for me began to change. It all started that night when I woke up, I did not awake at the place I was used to waking up in. I looked all around me to find something I'd recognize, nothing came to view. I was in a very bright and cold place. My eyes hurt from the brightness. Then a voice came echoing,"Julius... I'm here to tell you about your future." ----- "Who's there? Where am I?" I asked. ----- The echo came again,"You Julius are no human, you were raised in a planet called Netalico, and have special abilities. Now be aware of some changes that may occur. Goodbye..." ----- "WAIT!" too late, he's gone. Hmm... how am I going to get home? Just then I felt as if I began to fall. Then a bright yellow light shot into my eyes and began to sting. My whole body felt as if it was being used as a punching bag. I began to see a small dot from here. It was a house
I opened my eyes, and there I was in my room. I sat up and searched my body for any traces of bruises, scratches, or a wound of some sort from the event. I found none. Well it was a school day so I got ready, when I took a glance at the mirror to brush my hair I noticed something different about me. Well let's see? Everything is normal, I'm just suddenly tall, handsome, and buff! What the heck happened here? Well okay I can live with being handsome and sexy. I took some stairs down to the dining room to greet my parents. They just said,"Julius will be down in a minute" Uh okay I guess they don't notice me? I looked at the clock and saw it was 7:48 class starts in 8 minutes!
Wow I gotta get to school! I live in a place place called Johannesburg, it's in Europe. I commute to Vienna. Normally I have 40 minutes to get to school, but 8 minutes?!? That's crazy! I ran as fast as I could. Everyone seemed so still. Under two mintuesI was there, I was squinting my eyes when I saw it. I was close to school!!! Once I stopped running, my shoes gave away and tore down. Was I? What?? HUH??
While Ms. Pearson talked and talked. I remembered that time I was in that bright place. The voice told me to be aware of changes, but what kind of changes? Except for the good looks and fast feet what else? That time when I felt I was falling I felt as if I would actually control my fall. Maybe I can fly... Maybe I can do other things I don't even know I do. I raised my hand,"Miss, may I please go use the restroom?" I got an okay and so I went. Instead of using the restroom I climbed the restroom windows out to the streets. I tried to go to a place where it was private. I ran and ran as fast as before and stopped to a cornfield. It worked!!! Closing my eyes I tried to focus myself into flying, it seemed hopeless. Nothing. I kept trying still nothing. I opened my eyes and saw that my feet were not touching the ground, I could fly!! I was soaring through the air, doing flips above the clouds. I felt the humid droplets of water that I flew into. Then I opened my eyes. I opened my eyes? I was on my bed...
Phuong Ly, Jenny Truong, and Pei Liu ,Ms. Pearson,P-2.Nightingale M.S. : . . . . Thu, Oct 31, 9:09AM PST (-0800 GMT)
When I woke up the sky was pink, with white clouds. the bed... my clothes... the house... everything was pink and white. I didn't know what else to do so I went downstairs. I noticed this wasn't my house. My parents weren't there, Instead there were some weird looking people, it was as if they were aliens. The aliens didn't look like the ones on television. Suddenly loud noises came from outside. So I carefully open the door and went outside. I looked around and the place seemed to look like Mars. I carefully started to walk down a street, or at least that was what I thought it was. I was walking, a big brown blob creature popped up in front of me. The big brown creature scared me, so i ran like crazy. As i was running someone or something pulled me in a corner. Next thing I knew I was standing next to a girl alien, or at least i thought it was a girl. I was about to scream, but she covered my mouth and ask me, "what's your name?" "My name is April", I told her. Then she introduce herself to me, her name was Zert. then I ask her, "What or who is that big brown creature?" She answered me, " Thats Jertomdav, the ugliedt creature, the only thing in this town that isn't pink and white. Zert and I then saw Jertomdav right ahead of us, so we ran like crazy, like how i ran before. As I was running I lost Zert, I didn't know what happened to her. Could it be, that Jertomdav captured her and ate her? When I was running I trip over a rock and fell. When i fell Jertomdav caught up with me. Jertomdav then said "Hey." I was to afraid to open my eyes. Jertomdav then gave me my watch, I must have drop it when I was running like crazy. Jertomdav then said, " Next time be more careful." I was relieved that he didn't want to eat me or anything. I guess Jertomdav was a nice creature. Later on, Jertomdav said, " I'm hungry." I was frightened and shaking, because I thought he wanted to eat me now. But instead Jertomdav said, "Don't worry i won't eat you, your too small, I rather have some fruit." Suddenly I heard a voice calling my name, " April, April." Ahaha... huh? I was dreaming. Oh no I slept in class and now their all looking at me. Oh what a uncomfortable postion. Oh well the day was almost over. When I started to walk home I went outside, everything was pink and white. Oh no it wasn't a dream... or... was it...

My name is Sue, one normal teenage girl. Tonight is another night alone by myself. No one here around to talk to. Bored again with nothing to do except breathe. Oh yeah, today is Haloween. The one and only annual event that only an idiot would invent. Halloween, or what my younger cousin calls it, "Scary day". I wonder what kind of problems she has to deal with. Everyone's out probably having fun. Mom, Dad, and Stacy are at grandma's house. We celebrate everything there. Since i'm home alone, I might just have to make the best of this so-called "scary" night. If you're wondering who Stacy is, Stacy is my older sister. I also have a twin, her name is Susan. Well actually her name is Susan. She passed away 4 years ago. To be honest, she's not the type of sibling that any brother or sister would look up to. She had problems with drugs and alcohol, then she got murdered. Well, Susan is crazy; she does the wildest things. She's completely the opposite of me. Even if we are identical. If you're wondering why I'm not at my grandma's house, i'll tell you why..... Susan comes home to visit every Halloween night.I'm the only one that knows becasue I'm the only one that can see her. So just because I'm lonely in real life, Susan's going to be here for me. Well, I'm waiting for Susan to come as I stare worriedly at the duck clock Susan bought for my 11th birthday. Then I heard a loud crash in he basement. It sounded so different and strange. It was weird, I almost felt that it was Susan. I felt her newar by, the cold and quiet night. Yet was also cold and loud due to the "excitement" down in the basement. Then I heard a scream, a loud scream. Like a girl was crying for help. I wanted to see what it was. But I was afraid. Just as afraid when Susan needed my help but I didn't even manage to. I remember that night, the night when Susan got murdered. I was there but I didn't help her. I couldn't, it wasn't my fault, I was jealous. Susan had a perfect life. Mom.. Dad.. and Stacy cared and loved her more than anything [[even me]]. I heard a loud and squeeky scream. the one I heard from Susan on her last night alive. AND I THOUGHT......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... IF YOU WOULD REALLY BELIEVE ME because I LIED. I have no twin, and if I did, apparently she's not dead. And there's no one screaming down in the basement because I don't have a basement. I'm also not home alone because i'm not at home. And my younger cousin doesn't have any problems to deal with because she doesn't exist. And I don't have a sister name Stacy. And to be completely honest, my name is not even SUE. Happy Halloween.

I was walking down the street one night when I see a box on the street when I got closer I saw that it said danger beware being the curious person that I am I opened it when I opened it I saw that it was just a kitten so I say to myself what harm can come from a kitten ? Little did I know that this particular kitten was poisonus so I got home home i made a bed for the kitten after I finished it I took out a bowl put some milk in it and I gave it to the kitten then when I see the kitten was asleep I go upstairs to sleep At night I saw that the door is open in my room later that night I woke up again and I see the kitten is in my bed looking at my leg when I look at my leg and see the kitten bit me when I realize that the kitten is poisonus i'm alredy going to die so I say to myself if I go the kitten does too so in the end I guess that curiosity didnt' kill the cat it killed me.

By: Jacqueline Chavez
There once was a girl called Stephanie. She Was 16 years old and she went to Franklin High School. She had Light brown hair, hazel eyes, she was tall and beautiful. This is her story.....
At 6:oo a.m. her alarm clock rang, she stood up to go the bathroom and turned the water on to take a shower. As she got out the phone rang, it was her boyfriend Robert....
“Hello” said Stephanie.....
“Hi baby”, said Robert....
“When are you going to pick me up?”, said Stephanie.....
“Like about 7:30”, said Robert....
They hung up. ...Half an hour later she heard a beep, she looked out the window and saw Robert with his car of the year. It was a dark blue convertible Mercedes. She hopped in. ...
“Thanks Robert I don’t know how I would go to school without you, I owe you big time”, said Stephanie.
“No problem Babe”....
They drove off. When they got to school the bell rang. They said good-bye and gave each other a kiss......
When school ended Robert went to the auditorium because Stephanie’s last period is Drama. He went to the auditorium but this time he felt that something was weird, really weird. The auditorium was pitch black. When he turned on the light he was horrified. He saw people dead in the floor. He started calling Stephanie’s name. He found no response. He stared running and in the bathroom he saw Stephanie. She was dead, but it looked like she was still alive. Her eyes were open and she looked as she was screaming....

I returned my seat to its upright position. "Thats enough!" said the teacher, afer a classmate and I had a fight and I threw my chair at him. He wasnt hit, but was standing and staring and me like if he was.
The Bell Rang. "Dont Forget! Study because you never know when I may get you!" Our teacher loved that, she always gave us tests but there wasn't a date on when it would come. I studied all the time, but I'm sure others didn't. The test was on cells and their different parts. I got a little nervous, so I studied all night. I went to school sleepy the next day, but the information was still fresh in my head. I was lucky, the test came, but when I finished, John, the student fought with, was still staring at me. I tried to ignore him and turn in the test, but couldn't help, but notice he was still staring at me. I wasn't scared, but it was no odd, he had no expression while he stared, no anger, no sadness. I looked away, a few miutes later, he turned in his test and the bell rang.
After school, I saw him again while I waited for the bus. I started to feel fear and the back of my neck started to feel very hot. I looked away, and when I looked back, he was gone. I was relieved, but frightened as well. The bus came and I hurried onto it and went home worried. I went to my room, my mom and dad were at work. It was the first time in a long time that I had been scared of being alone. I felt my stomach ache, I got hungry from all the thinking so I went downstairs for a snack. Halfway down I saw him and froze, again he just stared. "What do you want from me!?" I demanded. No answer. I was scared stiff. Something caught my eye, his eyes didn't blink at all, he started walking towards me, It was like a movie, but it wasn't because it was real and it ws happening to me. He jumped to me and I blacked out. I woke up in my room, "A dream!" I thought. I was wrong, very wrong, I saw his shadow coming from downstairs. It wasn't a dream, he was real and I was scared stiff. I closed my eyes, the footsteps stopped. Something was going to happen, I might as well get it over with. I walked downstairs, he wasn't there. I got to my living room, lights were off. I turned it on and.....Surprise! Happy Birthday! Oh yea! my birthday!! It was a joke, a big joke, mom, dad, classmates, teacher, everyone was there! I had a great party and slept a long sleep.

I wonder if I would be breaking any laws if I opened it now. Yeah, I would, if anyone finds out that is. It was a law in this world, we were never allowed to open any windows at all. Only once a year, people were chosen for this event. No one knows what happens to these people.
I've always wondered what happens to them and why they are never to be seen or heard from again. The event was just a week away. Soon six other people wil be chosen. Each year when it comes nearer, everyone dreads the day. They know its something terrible. But they will never know the truth unless they go through the window. But no one dares to. They are too afraid. No one wants to talk about it. It was as it seems terrifying.
But I wasnt afraid, just curious. I would have gone through the window if there wasn't any people around. Not until the sunsets. I'll come back here and I'll know the truth about these forbidden windows. I was just too curious.
When the sun was gone, I went back to the window. I slowly opened it. But to my surprise nothing was happening. Nothing bad that I could see. But I just decided to climb through the window. As I got through, the place was different. Everything changed. It was like a deep forest. There was no sound. Just the wind. I felt the cold in the air and smelled something strange. It was an awful stench. I then decided to explore this place. As I came deeper into the forest, the smell grew stronger. I just decided to go on.......

Woody Liu--A Halloween Story...One day Johnny Seed went to a haunted house on Maple Dr. Everyone thought that he would come out safe, but legend says that the man who lived there would make the kids drink poison. Ever since than, we never saw Jimmy Seed again.
20 years later
Johnny Seed Jr. lived on Maple Dr. right next door to the haunted house. Johnny Jr. knows what happened to his dad, so he wouldn’t dare go in the haunted house. But one Halloween, he said, “ I have to do it, I have to go in that house.” The only problem was that he didn’t want to go in alone. So his friend Tommy said that he would go in with him. First, he had to get permission from his mom as usual. His mom said yes. So on Halloween Johnny Jr. and Tommy stepped into the house. Step by step they slowly came in. They found out that the guy who use to live there, does not live there now. They were extremely scared. When they were about to leave they found out that the door was locked. When they turned around the saw a old hairy man. They started to yell, “HELP!,” but hey found out that no one could hear them. They thought he was going to get mad, but all he said was,” Do you guys want some cookies?” They were glad that he wasn’t going to hurt them.
They walked into the dining room to talk. They asked him if he was the original owner of the house. But guess what, he wasn’t! He bought the house a couple years ago. After that, they had a nice time talking.

One day at Holy Trinity school there was a boy in 8th grade who always wanted to investigate. That night he was up doing homework like reading, and English, but he forgot to do his math. As he got in class his teacher asked to take out all their homework including math. He checked his backpack and it wasn’t there. He had his workbook, but the page was missing. All his classmates were laughing, so he ran to the bathroom crying. When he was almost there he saw his paper and went to it. It was walking and he was a little frightened, but he reached anyway. As he went the lights turned off and one second later it turned back on. The paper was missing! Now was the time for him to investigate to find the paper. As he got back in class everyone was killed. The only person there was the killer with the paper and him. To be continued...

Erika Holmbeck---One Night On Halloween
One night on Halloween, I swear I saw a ghost,
Floating right above me, he said he’d make me toast.
I screamed and ran until my legs were tired.
And out of my dad’s mouth he fired,
“Let her go you silly soul,
Or I’ll burn you with a bag of coal!”
“Go ahead,” he said with a smile.
“For you will surely run a mile!”
He flew away out of sight,
That was the scariest part of the night.

Who, What Am I?
It was Tuesday 9:30 PM, I just finished watching my favorite television series, Smallville. Man I love this show! Sometimes I just wonder, what if there is someone out there? If Clark Kent was able to hold on to his big secret, why can't it be possible? Anyone could be a Clark Kent, maybe they keep it to themselves. Who wouldn't want to be Clark Kent? Yes of course, all that x-ray vision, incredible speed, and super masculine stuff. Oh and who would want to forget those awesome, hunky, good looks. Man! He makes the girls go "ahhh!" Well anyway, did Clark know that he will have all those abilities? Well he may have had a sense of knowing but did I know?
My name is Julius and I am 13 years young, life for me began to change. It all started that night when I woke up, I did not awake at the place I was used to waking up in. I looked all around me to find something I'd recognize, nothing came to view. I was in a very bright and cold place. My eyes hurt from the brightness. Then a voice came echoing,"Julius... I'm here to tell you about your future." ----- "Who's there? Where am I?" I asked. ----- The echo came again,"You Julius are no human, you were raised in a planet called Netalico, and have special abilities. Now be aware of some changes that may occur. Goodbye..." ----- "WAIT!" too late, he's gone. Hmm... how am I going to get home? Just then I felt as if I began to fall. Then a bright yello light shot into my eyes and began to sting. My whole body felt as if it was being used as a punching bag. I began to see a small dot from here. It was a house
I opened my eyes, and there I was in my room. I sat up and searched my body for any traces of bruises, scratches, or a wound of some sort from the event. I found none. Well it was a school day so I got ready, when I took a glance at the mirror to brush my hair I noticed something different about me. Well let's see? Everything is normal, I'm just suddenly tall, handsome, and buff! What the heck happened here? Well okay I can live with being handsome and sexy. I took some stairs down to the dining room to greet my parents. They just said,"Julius will be down in a minute" Uh okay I guess they don't notice me? I looked at the clock and saw it was 7:48 class starts in 8 minutes!
Wow I gotta get to school! I live in a place place callled Johannesburg, it's on Europe. I commut to Vienna. Normally I have 40 minutes to get to school, but 8 minutes?!? That's crazy! I ran as fast as I could. Everyone seemed so still. Under two mintuesI was there, I was squinting my eyes when I saw it. I was close to school!!! Once I stopped running, my shoes gave away and tore down. Was I? What?? HUH??
While Ms. Pearson talked and talked. I remembered that time I was in that bright place. The voice told me to be aware of changes, but what kind of changes? Except for the good looks and fast feet what else? That time when I felt I was falling I felt as if I would actually control my fall. Maybe I can fly... Maybe I can do other things I don't even know I do. I raised my hand,"Miss, may I please go use the restroom?" I got an okay and so I went. Instead of using the restroom I climbed the restroom windows out to the streets. I tried to go to a place where it was private. I ran and ran as fast as before and stopped to a cornfield. It worked!!! Closing my eyes I tried to focus myself into flying, it seemed hopeless. Nothing. I kept trying still nothing. I opened my eyes and saw that my feet were not touching the ground, I could fly!! I was soaring through the air, doing flips above the clouds. I felt the humid droplets of water that I flew into. Then I opened my eyes. I opened my eyes? I was on my bed...

It was the day before Halloween. My parents and I were at the table eating breakfast, when I realized that it was very quiet. At breakfast it's hardly quiet, that is when I knew something was up. I stopped eating and looked at my mother, then I looked at my father and said,"Okay what's up?"They confessed to me that they needed to go out of town and they know how much I hate it when someone is babysitting me because I feel like a baby who needs a stranger to look after me. My parents said that my grandma would be taking care of me and she will stay the night until they come back.
My grandma is all right, but sometimes she bugs me because she gets too strict. I asked,"Why do you need to go out of town?"They said,"It's a very important buisness trip. The people that want to buy some of the profits of the company want us to go over there."Then I said with a mad voice,"Why can't they come over here?"My mother came toward me and with a sof voice she told me,"Sweety it's just for a couple of days. We'll get home as fast as we can and bring you a little something, okay."I felt a little better and said okay back. It was Thursday and tomorrow ws no scool because that's just the way it was. I missed my parents a lot and to get my mind off that I was thinking about what to wear for Halloween. The weirdest thing happened when I was sleeping. It was like I was up somewhere in the sky watching myself . something terrible happened in my dream that I woke up, and realized I was sweating so much I knew I had a nightmare. It was around 2 o' clock in the morning, and as I looked at these Halloween pictures in my room, I suddnely had a feeling that something horrible was going to happen, and I was getting flash backs about my dreams. Was it a sign of a feeling?

************ WINNING STORY *************** Most mysterious, thought provoking, and surprising ************** by Fabiola Torres ,Ms. Pearson P.1 Nightingale Middle School, Los Angeles:...............THE LAW ABOUT THE DOOR.... The law of the door, that specific door... We could not speak of it,...It was forbidden to speak of it... The law was not to open it.... I constantly asked my self why is it that we live in a community where opening a door is against the law, and forbidden....Though the actions if someone opened it they would be punished, I once thought of trying it....I ponder upon if someone was to open it ,what would they see?...Was someone hiding there or was someone hiding something?....For if the law was not to open it ...it was probably something of great importance...Here I am standing in front of the door... Should I open it....I remembered hearing people speak of a little girl that once opened it and never came back...I stand there wondering if I would be breaking any laws if I opened it NOW!!!!!..... There, I am on the other side.... But wait I am not the same.... I am a little girl. For I have gone back in time....So I thought to my self.. The little girl that people spoke about was me all along...I have been to a place called THE OTHER SIDE.
