It was 16 days until Christmas break! I was so excited to finally celebrate Christmas with the family. Right now I am wrapping the presents to go under the tree. I have already wrapped 60 presents! I have a family of 8 sisters and 4 bothers. ( that part is actually true ) I still have about 30 more to wrap. I have to take a break because my stomach growling. As I head down stairs I smell the most delicious smell. I take a peep into the kitchen and I see my parents setting the table. On the counter is steak, baked potatoes, tossed salad, and some corn on the cob. I hurry up and help them set the table. My little brother is trying to smuggle a piece of steak off of the plate. I come up right behind him and tickle his ribs! He drops the steak and falls to the floor laughing! ” I only wanted 1,” he says giggling. I laugh and make him wait until dinner like everyone else. We only have 10 chair at our kitchen table because my 3 older sisters and 1 of my older brothers are at college. We sit down and begin to eat. I ask about the steak because it tastes funny.
I didn’t mean to hit enter
My parents say ” It is beef and not to worry.” As I eat my dinner I notice that everyone is turning green. My little sisters and brothers run upstairs looking like they are going to barf. I even feel sick myself. My parents and my oldest siblings run outside and hear the faint noise of them throwing up. I start feeling the bile rise up in my throat and I know it is coming soon, very soon. I run downstairs and barf my guts out. This is the worst feeling ever. I feel like i’m dying. when I head back downstairs I see that no one is back. I head up stairs to my room with a trash can in hand just incase the bile comes back. there is 8 trash cans in the house so someone is going to have to hug the toilet tonight. I feel horrible and lay down to see if the feeling wears off. To my luck it does not.
Three weeks later
As I sat in my room in my black dress. I have had to wear this dress 4 times for the last two weeks. I lay down with tears streaming down my face. I have lost three of my siblings. My baby sister Julia died two weeks to this day. She was only 2. My youngest brother Noah died 12 days ago. He was the happiest person I have ever known. Lastly but not least was my second youngest sister Jocelyn. She was only 4. She had the biggest smile when you mad her laugh. I curled up into a ball under m y covers crying. Just thinking of my siblings tears me apart. The meat we had eaten had gone bad. we all got sick and it was so badd it took the lives of our little angels. I still have it. I’m only 8 so my immune system is not as good. I grow weaker everyday. The recent deaths have made even more weak. All I want to do is stay in all day and not go out of my room. My parents are tore up too but, they still manage to come and check on us children. I feel myself going into a deep sleep. I feel like I won’t wake up from the sleep. As I shut my eyes I think of my parents and my siblings. I pray that they are all going to be alright. I shut my eyes and never wake up.
Time Travel
The key to time travel is to put the right numbers in order to get to the place you want. So when you time travel you click 17458 to get to the dinosaur ages. 14569 to get to World War 1. Those were just some examples, what if you clicked a bunch of random numbers besides the ones that your supposed to click. One girl did that. She went in the time travel machine and clicked 20206. that took her places you wouldn’t imagine. She traveled to the future, and when she did you wouldn’t believe what happened. She found herself I the basement of her house. She was still a teenager when she traveled so she had no idea what year it was. There were footsteps upstairs and she went to take a look. It was her but she look a lot older. Later she found out it was 2020 and she went bizerk, She went to the place were the time travel machine was and pressed in the numbers 20151 and she got to her house again. she ran up the stairs and checked her bedroom there was another one of her in there but it looked the same as she did when she left. Same clothes, shoes, earrings, and makeup. So after that there were two of her.
The End
And now it’s time for…
Gifted, in space
by Mayfield
Trucker Kinzie always did whatever she could to wreck havoc at Christmastime. When she was a little girl, Santa only ever brought her coal. Of course, in fairness to Santa, he envisioned Kinzie’s creative mind using that coal as fuel for her truck. Kinzie, however, was not as clever as Santa thought, so she remained bitter forever thereafter at the slight.
This particular year, Kinzie vowed 12 days of terror, one day for every kid she’d run over that year in space. Of course, she’d run down many more kids than just 12, but Kinzie could only count up to 12.
Day 1
“Captain Patrick, Captain Patrick!!!”
“Yes, Special Helper Evan?”
“I brought you my ASPIRE results!!!”
“What is this?”
“It’s a practice test I took from the Planet ASPIRE.”
Captain Patrick was deeply troubled. Special Helper Evan needed a lot of special help in math if he was ever going to be very much help on the Starship Mayfield.
“Sir…”
“It’s Captain, Admiral Jade.”
“Sir…”
Captain Patrick sighed.
“Sir, Trucker Kinzie has captured a famous mathematician and put her in a pear tree.”
“A Partridge trapped in a pear tree? That must be awful, especially because she probably doesn’t enjoy fresh fruit. First Mate Abbey, make some shadow puppets for me while I order the ship turned around to track the Trucker.”
Captain Patrick smiled at his joke for First Mate Abbey had broken her hands leading a rebellion against the captain’s control of the spaceship. In a fiercely-contested round of “rock/paper/scissors,” Abbey slammed her “rock” so hard that she had to be hospitalized for a brief spell.
When the ship neared the evil trucker’s lair, which wasn’t a lair so much as a stop off the interstellar highway, they could immediately see the mathematician wouldn’t last long in the tree.
“Sir, she’ll die without sweets!!!” Admiral Jade exclaimed.
“I’ve helped cats get out of trees before,” Special Helper said, “You just shake the tree until they fall because cats always land on their feet.”
“Sounds good Special Helper,” First Mate Abbey said, clearly in an attempt to win back favor with the crew, “just brace yourself for impact when the fallout comes…”
Captain Patrick took out his Miracle-Gro Gun.
“Please, sir, she’s big enough,” Admiral Jade said before taking one giant step backwards, along with everyone else.
Captain Patrick sighed. Then fired. Some things are just better solved through violence.
“Thank you so much for using your grow gun to build me a boat that you could chop into a spaceship that rescued me from that evil fruit,” the mathematician said.
“Oh, I’ll be back,” Captain Patrick said, “I have a special helper that needs help with math.”
“Really? I’m not really good with low-level people.”
Captain Patrick sighed, but he was at least happy that Day 1 was over.

The Backstory of Seven
It’s been another week of my best friend Nine missing. Everyone knows that Seven the Kid is the one who killed him. The police think we don’t have enough evidence. This is how I know it was him.
We were out in the the mine one day and we saw a strange figure making a face as if he were to say step back, or else… Nine said that he would shoot that man one day. After that, I was on the surface and saw the same face, but I can see the whole body this time… It was Seven, the evil gunslinger that eats the dead bodies that he killed. That’s how I know it was him that killed Nine.
One month later at a town meeting the Mayor said “The police have found enough evidence to prove that Seven 8 Nine!”
This is a dark and disturbing story…about numbers! DUN DUN DAAA! Number haters beware…
There was once a boy called Mathaniel, and he hated numbers so much, he would write them down and then burn them on a Christmas tree, partly because it made him feel good inside, picking on defenseless pieces of paper, and because he hated Christmas trees. He was a very disturbed kid. He would go to math class and draw impaled numbers. His guidance teacher, Mr. Truck, was horrified to go near him, so he was unguided.
One day, while he was walking home from school, he saw something. It looked like a winged number 2.
“What the..” he said.
I must have imagined it he told himself.
Later that night, after eating ravioli, he saw from his bedroom window what looked like the number 1 with 2 legs and 2 arms, one of which was holding an axe. He blinded and it was gone. He told himself it was his imagination, but after seeing 1 and 2 with others numbers like 6,4,3 and 7, he knew they were real. He tried to talk to people, but they either looked at him funny or walked off, shaking their heads. And when he was trying to convince himself they weren’t real, he saw them again. 5 days after he saw the first number, 2, he went to bed earlier than usual, because he was exhausted after looking for the numbers. When he woke up, he found himself chained to a chair.
“What is going on??” He cried.
And then he saw it. It was a small collection of photos. And the most shocking part of it was that they were of him! He suddenly remembered seeing the 2 carrying a camera like box.
“We’ve been waiting for you for so long..”
“Who said that?” Said that Mathaniel cried.
And then he saw them, the numbers, the number 1 in front, all of them fully armed. They were terrifying.
“What do you want with me!?!”
“Revenge…..” came the answer.
“You have been very mean and cruel to us, I’m paling us, burning us, and drawing stick men with swords and guns to kill us. No matter. We took care of them quickly. And now, we will take care of you!” The 1 said before all of the numbers leaped on the screaming Mathaniel.
This is the end of the story, so be warned: if you like to torture numbers, then if you see numbers with weapons or wings run, even though there is no escape. They will find you.
Once apron a time in a galexy far far away… Ther lived an old woman. This old woman lived in about. That’s all I’m going to say about this old woman because she’s not important to the story. In a galexy just a little bit further a way from that there lived a hero.
This hero once saved his village from an angry troll. All the people thought that the troll would surely crush this poor man but the troll was only about three feet tall. The villagers didn’t know this though, they worshiped the man as their king and gave him great gifts. He’s also not important to this story, this story is about his son.
This boy, the son of the great hero, was nothing like his father. He was actually a real hero. No one knew that though because he wore a hood every wher. This hero was named Sven. Sven was deeply in love with a girl who worked at the local shop. She sold all kinds of things. But that’s still not important. Sven was deeply in love with this fair maiden but feered that she did not love him back. So instead of taking the sensible aprouch and telling her about his feelings he stalked her every chance he got he would follow her. He learned that she says a carton number but one that Sven cloud never make out before a mysterious door opened and she disapeared inside. Our hero tried for weeks to find out this secret number but always failed
Then one day she must have been angry at something for she shouted the number at the door and it opened. Late that knight when every one was asleep, Sven went up to the secret door and spoke the code. 101101101
The dare opened and the man walked into a room filled with monitors and screens with blinking warning signs.mthen he saw the glorious madden sitting on a charge pad. Sudenly the door shut behind him. Sven was to des troughs to try any means to escap,for now he knew that his love was a robot.
It was 3 days until Christmas and all our farm animals were finding presents for the others. The sheep were hiding presents under piles of poop. The pig was hiding present in his house of course since he is a pig and they are greedy. The chickens just sat on theirs. The zebu was hiding their gifts in the roll of hay. I was sneaking around watching the animals hide thier presents.
The next day
The sheep were in a free for all snowball fight with the pig and the chickens. That’s when everything got out of control, after 300 snowballs, the pig then chased the sheep which chased the chickens. The two zebu stood around laughing at all those silly animals. Christmas eve soon arrived and all 8 sheep, two zebu, twelve chickens, one rabbit, one pig, and the border collie gather in the front pasture to exchanged gifts and shared the most famous story of all. The animals shared the story of the birth of Jesus. A bright star shined overhead and all the farm animals united in song…..O Holy Night.
Sorry about typos. I got carried away.

“Sir, sir!”
Captain Patrick sighed.
“Yes, Admiral Jade?”
“Unspeakable horror. Trucker Kinzie…”
“Admiral, you said it was unspeakable.”
“Oh, sorry sir. Let me show you with shadow puppets.”
“Ew, never do that again Admiral.”
“Sorry, sir. It’s just that Trucker Kinzie is trying make doves and turtles kiss each other.”
“This is very disturbing,” Captain Patrick said, “and getting PG-13.”
“Did someone say kissing?” Delaina said, emerging from control room.
“Not if I can help it!!!” Captain Patrick said before ordering all hands – except Special Helper’s – on deck and full speed towards the trucker’s evil lair.
“Stop in the name of love!!!” Captain Patrick said to Trucker Kinzie when his group had landed.
“Never, and you’re too late anyway,” Trucker Kinzie hissed. “I’ve given them breath mints and everything. These two will be kissing before you can stop it, and before you know it, along will come the turtle with the baby carriage and I’ll plow that carriage over with my truck and use the feathers to get up all in the grill so I can…”
Captain Patrick waited no longer. He sprang into action with his secret weapon: a can of Diet Coke that was all shook up. The Diet Coke meant the breath mints and caused such an explosion that several new planets were created from the “bang.”
Captain Patrick rescued the two turtles and two doves. He had Special Helper keep their cage clean.
Trucker Kinzie retreated to plot more evil for Day 3.
So it was 16 days before the bunny apocalypse
450000 bunnies had already escaped the bunny jail in Katetopia
As everyone was awaiting it it suddenly became so fast that nobody knew what was going on bunnies were flying from 60 planes and throwing over 300 bombs but then 8 reindeer flew over to save the day! Everything from chainsaws to slippers were thrown and Santa was nailing them! Approximatley
4 1/2 hours later it all just stopped and now we know that Santa clause will always save the day. All bunnies but one survived and it was the leader and now we know that the 1st day of Christmas Santa and his 8 reindeer saved the day!
Up came the yellow brick road. ” Please paint it for me, Daddy, can you see it” said the tiny girl who had once had flowing hair that looked like wheat. She had five candles. Three of the were purple. One was pink, and the other one was white. She lit one of the purple candles and that was meant for the expectation that Christ would come again. She lit the second candle for hope that there would be many believers. She lit the third for joy because she knew she was going down the yellow brick road very soon. She lit the pink candle for peace in the world which is filled with violence and crime. The final candle she lit was to remind her that Jesus is the light of our life’s. Someone was calling her, ” Come on” they said, ” we’re waiting”. They were not old or young and they didn’t have wings. She could feel their love for her and she wasn’t shy at all as she had been in the past. They were so happy to be with her. It was time to go and she followed that yellow brick road with her best friend and many others who had watched over her from above for many months. What a beautiful rainbow with shades of purple , pink, yellow and what a beautiful light and she realized that the road had turned to GOLD!! She know that someday soon she would see her loved ones again and she knew that they understood when she had to leave so soon. Her beautiful hair blew in the soft breeze as she walked beside the still waters and she knew that she was home.

“Captain Patrick, Captain Patrick. Ya got your ears on???”
The crew of the Starship Mayfield was baffled. They’d never heard a voice coming from the control center like that one.
“Um, are you talking to us?” Delaina, hopeful the voice was from a lost, cute boy, said.
“Captain Patrick, Captain Patrick. Ya got your ears on? This is Trucker Kinzie.”
The crew was stunned.
“Um,” Captain Patrick finally said. “Um, this is Captain Patrick.”
“Captain Patrick, it’s about time,” Trucker Kinzie said, “I need you and your loser crew’s help.”
“I don’t think we…” Captain Patrick began before Special Helper interrupted.
“We’d love to help. Helping is what we do best, besides crying, we do crying best, but helping is definitely second best, especially on those days that we don’t cry.”
Captain Patrick sighed.
“Captain Patrick, I know you got your ears on, that’s what most of your face is anyway, ears…”
Captain Patrick sighed – and for the thousandth time, wished his ears weren’t so very big.
“Anyway, I need to save me.”
“Why should we save you?” First Mate Abbey, who loved slow deaths, said.
“Is that a girl with you Captain Patrick? Shame, shame. Anyway, all “girls who like big ear” jokes aside, I think I’ve bit off more than I can chew.”
Captain Patrick let the fat joke – about Trucker Kinzie’s ability to chew – go.
“You see, I kidnapped 12 drummers. They were in some occult called Rylee. It was a really, really bad idea. These kids are driving me crazy. All the noise, noise, noise!!! I thought for sure I’d get some good ransoms on them, but apparently, no one wants Rylees and so they’re just following me everywhere, drumming away.”
“We’ll be right there,” Captain Patrick said.
“Yeah for us being special help!!!” Special Helper said before throwing the ship into reverse and crashing it into a star.
“You know,” First Mate Abbey began, “You’ve done some stupid stuff captain, but rescuing the arch villain might top them all.”
“We must though,” Captain Patrick said. “If we don’t, those drums will drive Trucker Kinzie crazy. And if you think she’s bad now…”
“What are we waiting for, besides roadside assistance since Special Helper threw our Starship into a rock. Let’s go!!!” Delaina said. It should be noted that Delaina was only excited about the rescue because she thought the drummers must be cute boys – because only boys are percussionists.
Much to Delaina’s disappointment, the Rylee drummers were girls. Captain Patrick was able to lure them away from Trucker Kinzie with a shiny object. The drummers were taken to a rehab clinic run by White Boot Enterprises.
Unfortunately, rehabbing Trucker Kinzie wasn’t an option. She was off to complete another day of evil…
Jacoby of the Story
Jacoby and his followers were walking downtown of Seventurpin town, going to the towns restaurant called Ho’s on First, to get their daily supplies of catnip for his dog.
“Hey I thought i told y’all to not come around here again!” Yelled Lauren the Mud Eater and owner of Ho’s on First. She was steaming because Kaili A faithful follower of the Jacoby fan club stole all the catnip from there last week.
Now kids Jacoby and Lauren were famous fighters called Six and Seven. Jacoby was very scared of Lauren. Very. Like pee his pants when around her but he didn’t know Seven was Lauren.
“I didn’t do anything so back off!!!!!!” Jacoby yelled in her face. Lauren wasn’t happy about this. In fighting Seven when you heard her famous catch phrase you were dead. Dead.
“Do you know why Six is scared of Seven?!” Lauren said yelling in his face. this was when he figured out that she was Seven and she knew that he was Six. Quite ironic.
‘No!” He said backing away.
“Well,”She said enjoying whats going to happen next,”SEVEN EIGHT NINE!!!!!!!!!!” And walked away. Jacoby never came back. he had to get new pants too.
I was alone in my room all by myself. Then my mother called for me.
“Alex it’s nine. Write, read, or go to bed!”
First, I read fifty pages of The Hunger Games which got me to chapter five. I was reading The Hunger Games for the sixteenth time. I then suddenly remembered about my math homework! I had to do ten problems! The first five was easy. The next five were story problems. I did as my math teacher had told me.
“Read it over and over again! Take it apart!”
I did. I finished four before I was bored. I then wrote ten pages of writing for Mr. Mayfield. I looked at my alarm clock,that I don’t use. It was now nine thirty. Wow, I can get a lot done! I then read again until I got to part two of The Hunger Games. I then finished my last math problem, which was easier than I thought. Wow, all my homework done in one hour. Wait, it’s Friday. Did I just do all my weekend homework in one hour? I did. Well, now I don’t have to worry about doing it. Good job Alex and your one forgetful mind. No weekend homework!
Pie… 3.141592654. Pie. Grandma asked me for her cook book.I climbed up on a chair and reached for the old torn cook book from the top of the refrigerator. When I handed it too her she flipped to page 3. PIE. It read: 3.1 cups of flower 4 cups of apples, 1 cup of sugar,5 cups of whipped cream, 9 servings, 265 calories, 4 pots will be needed.
oops wrong button
“Grandma why does this pie have the equation for pie in it?” I asked “Well because to make the best pie you need the formula.” she answered Nothing of what she said made sense to me. Pie is for eating. The formula for pie is for math.None of that 3.141592654 stuff means anything. When i’m older i’m going to be a cook and i will never make pie like that its silly. When the pie was finished baking she put whipped cream on it. When it cooled she ave me a piece. “Well go ahead child, take a bite.” When I put it in my mouth I practically drooled. It was warm and the apples were cooked perfectly. the crust was crunchy and it wasn’t to sweet. It was the perfect pie. Then i realized The formula for pie works for any kind of pie.
I was sitting across the table from my family, and it was thanksgiving, the time to ‘pig out’ on all off the food, about 5 pies, and my brother put a pi symbol on it with whip cream as a joke, with many cakes, like, 3 cakes, 2 turkeys, 7 soda bottles, 4 huge slabs of chicken, and finally, 1 giant tub of ice cream. I then realized just how big my family is, so I said “I never noticed how our family has 10+ people here at this table now, when before it was just me, Mom, Grams, Paps, and Keaton.” My mom replied “Well no duh there are so many here, most of your family lives in Alabama, it is just our ancestors moved over 3 states to Texas, and regretted it. They were originally here in Alabama. The rest of the family that live here’s ancestors stayed put.” “Well, that makes no sense, why would our ancestors leave?” “They got tired of see the same 3 or 4 miles every day, you would to if we hadn’t been moving around each year.” “Probably not, you said I would get tired of drinking 2 sodas a day, and sneaking 1-2 along-side them.” “Well, people aren’t always right. I just thought that you guys might get tired eventually, but you didn’t. And you probably won’t anymore. I wouldn’t be surprised that if you stopped with the soda, one day you’d end up insane, or worse, dead.” “And just because I drink about 200mL of soda a day doesn’t mean I am addicted to it.” “Okay, go 5 hours without soda at all, but make sure there is some still in the box.” “Challenge accepted.”
–5 Hours later–
“SODA, soda soda soda sodasodasodasodaSODA! Man I just said soda 9 times.” “No you said ‘soda’ 4 times and ‘sodasodasodasodaSODA’ 1 time.” Replied my brother.
Anneversary
So you know how the dad always forgets dates and reminders and the Mom always knows when everything is. Well this story is exactly about that.
Jimmy,
So it’s about a week from mom and dad’s anniversary and they have been talking about it all month. While i’m at school and my dad is at work, my mom is out shopping for clothes to wear Saturday. She was out for a while because dad doesn’t get off work until 7pm and gets home by 7:45 pm. Mom came home that night at about 6 PM. She brought in her clothes, and put it in her closet so that dad couldn’t find it. Dad hate spending money so the reason she’s hiding it is because if he finds out he’s going to be mad and besides when she wears it on their anniversary day he will just think that she’s already had it. Dad said he wasn’t planning on buying a suit or anything because he didn’t want to spend any money. When dad gets home it’s about time to go to bed because of how late he gets home and besides I’m already in the bed anyway so he just comes home and goes to bed.
It’s the day before their anniversary and dad is on the phone making sure his reservations are still ready and mom is in the bedroom making sure she has everything for tomorrow night. Dad made sure that we went to a nice restaurant and not a cheap one because he still is on a budget and he hates it when the numbers go up on his bill. While. I’m at school mom stays home and cleans the house because my aunt is coming over to keep me on their anniversary tomorrow. When I get home from school dad still at work and mom is at home talking to aunt Cheryl when I get home from school dad still at work and Mom is at home talking to aunt Cheryl On the phone. When I get home I was tired so I went straight to bed . The next morning I wake up and go to school while aunt Cheryl stay home and get dinner ready for tonight and cleans. I get home that afternoon and mom and dad are already ready so I give them a hug and tell them goodbye and they head out the door to go to the restaurant. So they get to the restaurant in Dad tails and the waiter at the front desk there last name and the waiter goes and sits then down at their table. After the shit down and start eating for a while Dad gets a box and hands it to mom, she opens it and there is a diamond necklace in it. ” he got it off of eBay for about $90″. After they get done with her mail the waiter brings a check and dad looks at it and freaked out because the numbers on the payment said 200$ when they really didn’t order that much. Dad gets so The press that he goes straight home and go straight to the room bedroom and goes to sleep.
And that was my mom and dad’s anniversary !
It was 16 days until Christmas break! I was so excited to finally celebrate Christmas with the family. Right now I am wrapping the presents to go under the tree. I have already wrapped 60 presents! I have a family of 8 sisters and 4 bothers. ( that part is actually true ) I still have about 30 more to wrap. I have to take a break because my stomach growling. As I head down stairs I smell the most delicious smell. I take a peep into the kitchen and I see my parents setting the table. On the counter is steak, baked potatoes, tossed salad, and some corn on the cob. I hurry up and help them set the table. My little brother is trying to smuggle a piece of steak off of the plate. I come up right behind him and tickle his ribs! He drops the steak and falls to the floor laughing! ” I only wanted 1,” he says giggling. I laugh and make him wait until dinner like everyone else. We only have 10 chair at our kitchen table because my 3 older sisters and 1 of my older brothers are at college. We sit down and begin to eat. I ask about the steak because it tastes funny.
I didn’t mean to hit enter
My parents say ” It is beef and not to worry.” As I eat my dinner I notice that everyone is turning green. My little sisters and brothers run upstairs looking like they are going to barf. I even feel sick myself. My parents and my oldest siblings run outside and hear the faint noise of them throwing up. I start feeling the bile rise up in my throat and I know it is coming soon, very soon. I run downstairs and barf my guts out. This is the worst feeling ever. I feel like i’m dying. when I head back downstairs I see that no one is back. I head up stairs to my room with a trash can in hand just incase the bile comes back. there is 8 trash cans in the house so someone is going to have to hug the toilet tonight. I feel horrible and lay down to see if the feeling wears off. To my luck it does not.
Three weeks later
As I sat in my room in my black dress. I have had to wear this dress 4 times for the last two weeks. I lay down with tears streaming down my face. I have lost three of my siblings. My baby sister Julia died two weeks to this day. She was only 2. My youngest brother Noah died 12 days ago. He was the happiest person I have ever known. Lastly but not least was my second youngest sister Jocelyn. She was only 4. She had the biggest smile when you mad her laugh. I curled up into a ball under m y covers crying. Just thinking of my siblings tears me apart. The meat we had eaten had gone bad. we all got sick and it was so badd it took the lives of our little angels. I still have it. I’m only 8 so my immune system is not as good. I grow weaker everyday. The recent deaths have made even more weak. All I want to do is stay in all day and not go out of my room. My parents are tore up too but, they still manage to come and check on us children. I feel myself going into a deep sleep. I feel like I won’t wake up from the sleep. As I shut my eyes I think of my parents and my siblings. I pray that they are all going to be alright. I shut my eyes and never wake up.
Time Travel
The key to time travel is to put the right numbers in order to get to the place you want. So when you time travel you click 17458 to get to the dinosaur ages. 14569 to get to World War 1. Those were just some examples, what if you clicked a bunch of random numbers besides the ones that your supposed to click. One girl did that. She went in the time travel machine and clicked 20206. that took her places you wouldn’t imagine. She traveled to the future, and when she did you wouldn’t believe what happened. She found herself I the basement of her house. She was still a teenager when she traveled so she had no idea what year it was. There were footsteps upstairs and she went to take a look. It was her but she look a lot older. Later she found out it was 2020 and she went bizerk, She went to the place were the time travel machine was and pressed in the numbers 20151 and she got to her house again. she ran up the stairs and checked her bedroom there was another one of her in there but it looked the same as she did when she left. Same clothes, shoes, earrings, and makeup. So after that there were two of her.

Day 1
“Captain Patrick, Captain Patrick!!!”
“Yes, Special Helper Evan?”
“I brought you my ASPIRE results!!!”
“What is this?”
“It’s a practice test I took from the Planet ASPIRE.”
Captain Patrick was deeply troubled. Special Helper Evan needed a lot of special help in math if he was ever going to be very much help on the Starship Mayfield.
“Sir…”
“It’s Captain, Admiral Jade.”
“Sir…”
Captain Patrick sighed.
“Sir, Trucker Kinzie has captured a famous mathematician and put her in a pear tree.”
“A Partridge trapped in a pear tree? That must be awful, especially because she probably doesn’t enjoy fresh fruit. First Mate Abbey, make some shadow puppets for me while I order the ship turned around to track the Trucker.”
Captain Patrick smiled at his joke for First Mate Abbey had broken her hands leading a rebellion against the captain’s control of the spaceship. In a fiercely-contested round of “rock/paper/scissors,” Abbey slammed her “rock” so hard that she had to be hospitalized for a brief spell.
When the ship neared the evil trucker’s lair, which wasn’t a lair so much as a stop off the interstellar highway, they could immediately see the mathematician wouldn’t last long in the tree.
“Sir, she’ll die without sweets!!!” Admiral Jade exclaimed.
“I’ve helped cats get out of trees before,” Special Helper said, “You just shake the tree until they fall because cats always land on their feet.”
“Sounds good Special Helper,” First Mate Abbey said, clearly in an attempt to win back favor with the crew, “just brace yourself for impact when the fallout comes…”
Captain Patrick took out his Miracle-Gro Gun.
“Please, sir, she’s big enough,” Admiral Jade said before taking one giant step backwards, along with everyone else.
Captain Patrick sighed. Then fired. Some things are just better solved through violence.
“Thank you so much for using your grow gun to build me a boat that you could chop into a spaceship that rescued me from that evil fruit,” the mathematician said.
“Oh, I’ll be back,” Captain Patrick said, “I have a special helper that needs help with math.”
“Really? I’m not really good with low-level people.”
Captain Patrick sighed, but he was at least happy that Day 1 was over.

The Backstory of Seven
It’s been another week of my best friend Nine missing. Everyone knows that Seven the Kid is the one who killed him. The police think we don’t have enough evidence. This is how I know it was him.
We were out in the the mine one day and we saw a strange figure making a face as if he were to say step back, or else… Nine said that he would shoot that man one day. After that, I was on the surface and saw the same face, but I can see the whole body this time… It was Seven, the evil gunslinger that eats the dead bodies that he killed. That’s how I know it was him that killed Nine.
One month later at a town meeting the Mayor said “The police have found enough evidence to prove that Seven 8 Nine!”
This is a dark and disturbing story…about numbers! DUN DUN DAAA! Number haters beware…
There was once a boy called Mathaniel, and he hated numbers so much, he would write them down and then burn them on a Christmas tree, partly because it made him feel good inside, picking on defenseless pieces of paper, and because he hated Christmas trees. He was a very disturbed kid. He would go to math class and draw impaled numbers. His guidance teacher, Mr. Truck, was horrified to go near him, so he was unguided.
One day, while he was walking home from school, he saw something. It looked like a winged number 2.
“What the..” he said.
I must have imagined it he told himself.
Later that night, after eating ravioli, he saw from his bedroom window what looked like the number 1 with 2 legs and 2 arms, one of which was holding an axe. He blinded and it was gone. He told himself it was his imagination, but after seeing 1 and 2 with others numbers like 6,4,3 and 7, he knew they were real. He tried to talk to people, but they either looked at him funny or walked off, shaking their heads. And when he was trying to convince himself they weren’t real, he saw them again. 5 days after he saw the first number, 2, he went to bed earlier than usual, because he was exhausted after looking for the numbers. When he woke up, he found himself chained to a chair.
“What is going on??” He cried.
And then he saw it. It was a small collection of photos. And the most shocking part of it was that they were of him! He suddenly remembered seeing the 2 carrying a camera like box.
“We’ve been waiting for you for so long..”
“Who said that?” Said that Mathaniel cried.
And then he saw them, the numbers, the number 1 in front, all of them fully armed. They were terrifying.
“What do you want with me!?!”
“Revenge…..” came the answer.
“You have been very mean and cruel to us, I’m paling us, burning us, and drawing stick men with swords and guns to kill us. No matter. We took care of them quickly. And now, we will take care of you!” The 1 said before all of the numbers leaped on the screaming Mathaniel.
This is the end of the story, so be warned: if you like to torture numbers, then if you see numbers with weapons or wings run, even though there is no escape. They will find you.
Once apron a time in a galexy far far away… Ther lived an old woman. This old woman lived in about. That’s all I’m going to say about this old woman because she’s not important to the story. In a galexy just a little bit further a way from that there lived a hero.
This hero once saved his village from an angry troll. All the people thought that the troll would surely crush this poor man but the troll was only about three feet tall. The villagers didn’t know this though, they worshiped the man as their king and gave him great gifts. He’s also not important to this story, this story is about his son.
This boy, the son of the great hero, was nothing like his father. He was actually a real hero. No one knew that though because he wore a hood every wher. This hero was named Sven. Sven was deeply in love with a girl who worked at the local shop. She sold all kinds of things. But that’s still not important. Sven was deeply in love with this fair maiden but feered that she did not love him back. So instead of taking the sensible aprouch and telling her about his feelings he stalked her every chance he got he would follow her. He learned that she says a carton number but one that Sven cloud never make out before a mysterious door opened and she disapeared inside. Our hero tried for weeks to find out this secret number but always failed
Then one day she must have been angry at something for she shouted the number at the door and it opened. Late that knight when every one was asleep, Sven went up to the secret door and spoke the code. 101101101
The dare opened and the man walked into a room filled with monitors and screens with blinking warning signs.mthen he saw the glorious madden sitting on a charge pad. Sudenly the door shut behind him. Sven was to des troughs to try any means to escap,for now he knew that his love was a robot.
It was 3 days until Christmas and all our farm animals were finding presents for the others. The sheep were hiding presents under piles of poop. The pig was hiding present in his house of course since he is a pig and they are greedy. The chickens just sat on theirs. The zebu was hiding their gifts in the roll of hay. I was sneaking around watching the animals hide thier presents.
The next day
The sheep were in a free for all snowball fight with the pig and the chickens. That’s when everything got out of control, after 300 snowballs, the pig then chased the sheep which chased the chickens. The two zebu stood around laughing at all those silly animals. Christmas eve soon arrived and all 8 sheep, two zebu, twelve chickens, one rabbit, one pig, and the border collie gather in the front pasture to exchanged gifts and shared the most famous story of all. The animals shared the story of the birth of Jesus. A bright star shined overhead and all the farm animals united in song…..O Holy Night.
Sorry about typos. I got carried away.

“Sir, sir!”
Captain Patrick sighed.
“Yes, Admiral Jade?”
“Unspeakable horror. Trucker Kinzie…”
“Admiral, you said it was unspeakable.”
“Oh, sorry sir. Let me show you with shadow puppets.”
“Ew, never do that again Admiral.”
“Sorry, sir. It’s just that Trucker Kinzie is trying make doves and turtles kiss each other.”
“This is very disturbing,” Captain Patrick said, “and getting PG-13.”
“Did someone say kissing?” Delaina said, emerging from control room.
“Not if I can help it!!!” Captain Patrick said before ordering all hands – except Special Helper’s – on deck and full speed towards the trucker’s evil lair.
“Stop in the name of love!!!” Captain Patrick said to Trucker Kinzie when his group had landed.
“Never, and you’re too late anyway,” Trucker Kinzie hissed. “I’ve given them breath mints and everything. These two will be kissing before you can stop it, and before you know it, along will come the turtle with the baby carriage and I’ll plow that carriage over with my truck and use the feathers to get up all in the grill so I can…”
Captain Patrick waited no longer. He sprang into action with his secret weapon: a can of Diet Coke that was all shook up. The Diet Coke meant the breath mints and caused such an explosion that several new planets were created from the “bang.”
Captain Patrick rescued the two turtles and two doves. He had Special Helper keep their cage clean.
Trucker Kinzie retreated to plot more evil for Day 3.
So it was 16 days before the bunny apocalypse
450000 bunnies had already escaped the bunny jail in Katetopia
As everyone was awaiting it it suddenly became so fast that nobody knew what was going on bunnies were flying from 60 planes and throwing over 300 bombs but then 8 reindeer flew over to save the day! Everything from chainsaws to slippers were thrown and Santa was nailing them! Approximatley
4 1/2 hours later it all just stopped and now we know that Santa clause will always save the day. All bunnies but one survived and it was the leader and now we know that the 1st day of Christmas Santa and his 8 reindeer saved the day!
Up came the yellow brick road. ” Please paint it for me, Daddy, can you see it” said the tiny girl who had once had flowing hair that looked like wheat. She had five candles. Three of the were purple. One was pink, and the other one was white. She lit one of the purple candles and that was meant for the expectation that Christ would come again. She lit the second candle for hope that there would be many believers. She lit the third for joy because she knew she was going down the yellow brick road very soon. She lit the pink candle for peace in the world which is filled with violence and crime. The final candle she lit was to remind her that Jesus is the light of our life’s. Someone was calling her, ” Come on” they said, ” we’re waiting”. They were not old or young and they didn’t have wings. She could feel their love for her and she wasn’t shy at all as she had been in the past. They were so happy to be with her. It was time to go and she followed that yellow brick road with her best friend and many others who had watched over her from above for many months. What a beautiful rainbow with shades of purple , pink, yellow and what a beautiful light and she realized that the road had turned to GOLD!! She know that someday soon she would see her loved ones again and she knew that they understood when she had to leave so soon. Her beautiful hair blew in the soft breeze as she walked beside the still waters and she knew that she was home.
And now it’s time for…

“Captain Patrick, Captain Patrick. Ya got your ears on???”
The crew of the Starship Mayfield was baffled. They’d never heard a voice coming from the control center like that one.
“Um, are you talking to us?” Delaina, hopeful the voice was from a lost, cute boy, said.
“Captain Patrick, Captain Patrick. Ya got your ears on? This is Trucker Kinzie.”
The crew was stunned.
“Um,” Captain Patrick finally said. “Um, this is Captain Patrick.”
“Captain Patrick, it’s about time,” Trucker Kinzie said, “I need you and your loser crew’s help.”
“I don’t think we…” Captain Patrick began before Special Helper interrupted.
“We’d love to help. Helping is what we do best, besides crying, we do crying best, but helping is definitely second best, especially on those days that we don’t cry.”
Captain Patrick sighed.
“Captain Patrick, I know you got your ears on, that’s what most of your face is anyway, ears…”
Captain Patrick sighed – and for the thousandth time, wished his ears weren’t so very big.
“Anyway, I need to save me.”
“Why should we save you?” First Mate Abbey, who loved slow deaths, said.
“Is that a girl with you Captain Patrick? Shame, shame. Anyway, all “girls who like big ear” jokes aside, I think I’ve bit off more than I can chew.”
Captain Patrick let the fat joke – about Trucker Kinzie’s ability to chew – go.
“You see, I kidnapped 12 drummers. They were in some occult called Rylee. It was a really, really bad idea. These kids are driving me crazy. All the noise, noise, noise!!! I thought for sure I’d get some good ransoms on them, but apparently, no one wants Rylees and so they’re just following me everywhere, drumming away.”
“We’ll be right there,” Captain Patrick said.
“Yeah for us being special help!!!” Special Helper said before throwing the ship into reverse and crashing it into a star.
“You know,” First Mate Abbey began, “You’ve done some stupid stuff captain, but rescuing the arch villain might top them all.”
“We must though,” Captain Patrick said. “If we don’t, those drums will drive Trucker Kinzie crazy. And if you think she’s bad now…”
“What are we waiting for, besides roadside assistance since Special Helper threw our Starship into a rock. Let’s go!!!” Delaina said. It should be noted that Delaina was only excited about the rescue because she thought the drummers must be cute boys – because only boys are percussionists.
Much to Delaina’s disappointment, the Rylee drummers were girls. Captain Patrick was able to lure them away from Trucker Kinzie with a shiny object. The drummers were taken to a rehab clinic run by White Boot Enterprises.
Unfortunately, rehabbing Trucker Kinzie wasn’t an option. She was off to complete another day of evil…
Jacoby of the Story
Jacoby and his followers were walking downtown of Seventurpin town, going to the towns restaurant called Ho’s on First, to get their daily supplies of catnip for his dog.
“Hey I thought i told y’all to not come around here again!” Yelled Lauren the Mud Eater and owner of Ho’s on First. She was steaming because Kaili A faithful follower of the Jacoby fan club stole all the catnip from there last week.
Now kids Jacoby and Lauren were famous fighters called Six and Seven. Jacoby was very scared of Lauren. Very. Like pee his pants when around her but he didn’t know Seven was Lauren.
“I didn’t do anything so back off!!!!!!” Jacoby yelled in her face. Lauren wasn’t happy about this. In fighting Seven when you heard her famous catch phrase you were dead. Dead.
“Do you know why Six is scared of Seven?!” Lauren said yelling in his face. this was when he figured out that she was Seven and she knew that he was Six. Quite ironic.
‘No!” He said backing away.
“Well,”She said enjoying whats going to happen next,”SEVEN EIGHT NINE!!!!!!!!!!” And walked away. Jacoby never came back. he had to get new pants too.
I was alone in my room all by myself. Then my mother called for me.
“Alex it’s nine. Write, read, or go to bed!”
First, I read fifty pages of The Hunger Games which got me to chapter five. I was reading The Hunger Games for the sixteenth time. I then suddenly remembered about my math homework! I had to do ten problems! The first five was easy. The next five were story problems. I did as my math teacher had told me.
“Read it over and over again! Take it apart!”
I did. I finished four before I was bored. I then wrote ten pages of writing for Mr. Mayfield. I looked at my alarm clock,that I don’t use. It was now nine thirty. Wow, I can get a lot done! I then read again until I got to part two of The Hunger Games. I then finished my last math problem, which was easier than I thought. Wow, all my homework done in one hour. Wait, it’s Friday. Did I just do all my weekend homework in one hour? I did. Well, now I don’t have to worry about doing it. Good job Alex and your one forgetful mind. No weekend homework!
Pie… 3.141592654. Pie. Grandma asked me for her cook book.I climbed up on a chair and reached for the old torn cook book from the top of the refrigerator. When I handed it too her she flipped to page 3. PIE. It read: 3.1 cups of flower 4 cups of apples, 1 cup of sugar,5 cups of whipped cream, 9 servings, 265 calories, 4 pots will be needed.
oops wrong button
“Grandma why does this pie have the equation for pie in it?” I asked “Well because to make the best pie you need the formula.” she answered Nothing of what she said made sense to me. Pie is for eating. The formula for pie is for math.None of that 3.141592654 stuff means anything. When i’m older i’m going to be a cook and i will never make pie like that its silly. When the pie was finished baking she put whipped cream on it. When it cooled she ave me a piece. “Well go ahead child, take a bite.” When I put it in my mouth I practically drooled. It was warm and the apples were cooked perfectly. the crust was crunchy and it wasn’t to sweet. It was the perfect pie. Then i realized The formula for pie works for any kind of pie.
I was sitting across the table from my family, and it was thanksgiving, the time to ‘pig out’ on all off the food, about 5 pies, and my brother put a pi symbol on it with whip cream as a joke, with many cakes, like, 3 cakes, 2 turkeys, 7 soda bottles, 4 huge slabs of chicken, and finally, 1 giant tub of ice cream. I then realized just how big my family is, so I said “I never noticed how our family has 10+ people here at this table now, when before it was just me, Mom, Grams, Paps, and Keaton.” My mom replied “Well no duh there are so many here, most of your family lives in Alabama, it is just our ancestors moved over 3 states to Texas, and regretted it. They were originally here in Alabama. The rest of the family that live here’s ancestors stayed put.” “Well, that makes no sense, why would our ancestors leave?” “They got tired of see the same 3 or 4 miles every day, you would to if we hadn’t been moving around each year.” “Probably not, you said I would get tired of drinking 2 sodas a day, and sneaking 1-2 along-side them.” “Well, people aren’t always right. I just thought that you guys might get tired eventually, but you didn’t. And you probably won’t anymore. I wouldn’t be surprised that if you stopped with the soda, one day you’d end up insane, or worse, dead.” “And just because I drink about 200mL of soda a day doesn’t mean I am addicted to it.” “Okay, go 5 hours without soda at all, but make sure there is some still in the box.” “Challenge accepted.”
–5 Hours later–
“SODA, soda soda soda sodasodasodasodaSODA! Man I just said soda 9 times.” “No you said ‘soda’ 4 times and ‘sodasodasodasodaSODA’ 1 time.” Replied my brother.
Anneversary
So you know how the dad always forgets dates and reminders and the Mom always knows when everything is. Well this story is exactly about that.
Jimmy,
So it’s about a week from mom and dad’s anniversary and they have been talking about it all month. While i’m at school and my dad is at work, my mom is out shopping for clothes to wear Saturday. She was out for a while because dad doesn’t get off work until 7pm and gets home by 7:45 pm. Mom came home that night at about 6 PM. She brought in her clothes, and put it in her closet so that dad couldn’t find it. Dad hate spending money so the reason she’s hiding it is because if he finds out he’s going to be mad and besides when she wears it on their anniversary day he will just think that she’s already had it. Dad said he wasn’t planning on buying a suit or anything because he didn’t want to spend any money. When dad gets home it’s about time to go to bed because of how late he gets home and besides I’m already in the bed anyway so he just comes home and goes to bed.
It’s the day before their anniversary and dad is on the phone making sure his reservations are still ready and mom is in the bedroom making sure she has everything for tomorrow night. Dad made sure that we went to a nice restaurant and not a cheap one because he still is on a budget and he hates it when the numbers go up on his bill. While. I’m at school mom stays home and cleans the house because my aunt is coming over to keep me on their anniversary tomorrow. When I get home from school dad still at work and mom is at home talking to aunt Cheryl when I get home from school dad still at work and Mom is at home talking to aunt Cheryl On the phone. When I get home I was tired so I went straight to bed . The next morning I wake up and go to school while aunt Cheryl stay home and get dinner ready for tonight and cleans. I get home that afternoon and mom and dad are already ready so I give them a hug and tell them goodbye and they head out the door to go to the restaurant. So they get to the restaurant in Dad tails and the waiter at the front desk there last name and the waiter goes and sits then down at their table. After the shit down and start eating for a while Dad gets a box and hands it to mom, she opens it and there is a diamond necklace in it. ” he got it off of eBay for about $90″. After they get done with her mail the waiter brings a check and dad looks at it and freaked out because the numbers on the payment said 200$ when they really didn’t order that much. Dad gets so The press that he goes straight home and go straight to the room bedroom and goes to sleep.
And that was my mom and dad’s anniversary !
