The Haunted House By; Yancy R.

My friends and I 
went to a haunted house. 

I feel nervous and scared 
their faces are scary like witches. 

When we are walking in a wild haunted house.  
A weird clown comes up to our faces. 
The face of the clown is scary as riding a roller coaster 
when you don’t have a seatbelt on. 
His face has red and brown paint on it.

 A person with a monkey costume has some cymbals on his hands. 
He slams the cymbals in our ears, “Bam, Bam!”  
Passing by a bed with  a pink skeleton yelling like crazy.

 Smoke wrapping its arms around us, feels like fingers reaching out to grab! 
When we are out of the haunted house 
I feel like I’m never going back to a haunted house! 
NEVER!!!   

Paintballing with Dylan Aidan C.

       Sweat beads down my head and my heart is pounding. The whistle blows. The paintballs start pouring like cats and dogs. The piercing popping paintballs are flying like birds. I shoot and slide, Dylan and I are the only two left. We are pinned with an elite sniper in the fort and a guard. I end up hitting the guard. A paintball splattering on his chest.  The ref misses it!

       I almost hit the elite sniper. We talk using hand signals. We see, smell and hear paintballs and paintball guns. The round is over, we head off the field, winners! It is one of the best days of my life. Sweat beads down my head and my heart is pounding.  

The Day of the Tragedy By Paige L.

It all began on a nice sunny  

    day…

We went to QuikTrip

We came home

We found Dad on the

    couch

Why did it happen to us?

We never thought it would

        happen to us

For him to die

Feels the way cats and dogs   

     fight

Sad and droopy forever.

My dad died of a heart attack

The whole family is crushed

Our family will never be the    

     same

Without him

It all ended on a nice sunny day…

Gymnastics Time By Munal A.

       How could I forget my big step in gymnastics. “WHOOH!“ The bright sun chased my blues away. Oh, look at the bright and colorful room, colorful, like a tropical fish floating by…but smelling  the unpleasant odor of a football locker room, “Ugh”   The floor bounced up and down sending me all the way to the blue and bright sky.

       “WHOA!” Chalk dust everywhere, it tastes horrible!

  Beam time! I nail the backflip like Gabby Douglas on the red carpet. The bars are like a scary monster under the bed, but hopefully I get through it. Oh no, the floor competition! I move as if I am a zombie.  I do it!

        The crowd looks like a hungry alien, but a nice one.  People gather to cheer me on. Laughter is running through the air. My feet zoom for it and I never looked back or stop running for happiness   Yeah! I got in second place. A smile was coming up my throat that day was the happiest one of my life. How could I forget this moment. Now I realized Gymnastics was going to be my life. Come back happy memories. Come back.

…I remember gazing into his eyes, crying, sobbing, knowing that my brother is not who I thought he was. Thinking he would do anything he could to stay out of trouble, out of jail. Thinking he learned his lesson.

LIES

 All of my memories as a friend, wondering if he won’t lie to me, won’t do anything to hurt me. Thoughts, pulling me on strings like a puppet, having no choice of my own. I always thought I knew him, but every thought of him.

GONE

     I sit here waiting for my turn to talk to him. Not knowing what he is to say to me. Long, brown hair, longing brown eyes. We both form waterfalls, more salty, more watery than the ocean, with myself.

LOST

    Kind, gentle, sweet. All things I have that describe him to me. Now it’s not anything to me. I’ll never know why or how he did it, but what I do know, is that it was driven by anger. By being taunted by himself and others.

ANGER

      I will never forgive what he did; never forget the hatred I had for him when I found out. I was as mad as a bull. Who knows when he’ll get out, but there is a feeling that is ever lasting for him.

LOVE

LIES, GONE, LOST, ANGER, LOVE
