the ending to thank you ma'am

That night Roger realized he has to change his ways. He has a nice family, that actually has a lot of money, so he doesn’t need to go around stealing. But, he got in a fight with his father last month, it was really scary. His dad threw punches here and there, and all Roger could do was take it. And he ran away when he got his chance.

Roger didn’t want to turn out like his father; a druggie that drinks too much and goes around beating kids. So he decided he needed to turn himself around and get a job. He decides to apply to his favorite store ever, Sentry. Roger liked this store because it was in his location, it was really small, and they had tiny shopping carts. Those made his life.
____________________________________________________________________________________

The manager hired him right away. They loved Roger. He didn’t know why, but he didn’t care. All he knew is that he didn’t have to steal anymore.

That night he was working late shift, and lucky him he was the only one working and the store was completely empty. At least, that’s what he thought. The young man heard crash, and ran towards the sound of the falling glass. He wasn’t very happy to find the ‘bullet proof’ window broke into pieces on the floor. Nor was he too happy to find a giant black women with a ski mask standing over him. Roger luckily took karate for five years straight, and became a black belt, so he knew what to do. He kicked the women’s legs, and she fell to the ground with a big “Umph!” then, he kicked her right where it matters. In the sitter.

She quickly got to her feet and begged him to stop. Roger realized he knew that voice from somewhere. “Oh my! Mrs. Jones are you okay?” The women holding her buttock answered, “Of course.” She was very pleased to see that Roger changed his ways, but Roger was very disappointed in Mrs. Jones.

“I don’t have any excuse to do this, and I’m very sorry. Are you going to take me to the police?” asked the big lady.

“Of course not. Now I have to return a favor. He walked her out the door and sent her off, with the ten dollars she had given him before. “I’ve been saving this, but you obviously need it more than me.”

She walked off, with a big smile on her face, and never saw Roger again.

Author's Note: I'm supposed to create a story based off of a sentence I chose on the board, and I would like to score high for word choice in this piece. Comment if you think I would have.


Wars are stupid. They're messed up. My husband was in the army, and we just got a letter, it said that they lost him. They don't know if he's dead or alive. This is horrible! I'm a single mother now, living at home with my beautiful daughter. I haven't told her yet, and I'm never going to. She deserves the right to know, but it would break her little fragile heart. Maybe this is for the best, considering I met a very handsome man last month. We've been kind of an item. Steph doesn't mind him. She actually enjoys his company. They have a very nice bond, and I'm glad they get along, because I think he's the one.


******************************************

I hate Brad. He's my mom's new boy friend. I know these types of things. She's never trying to get donut off of his face with her mouth, and I know it! And I know for a fact that he's allergic to donut. And bikes, and barbies. I also know that they're hiding my daddy somewhere. My mom and Brad. They think they're all that, but I know their story, and I will find him! They wont keep him away from me any longer, and I know exactly where he is! "Here I come Daddy!"
"What was that honey?" asked my horrible mother
"Can I have a cookie?" I quickly asked


"Sure, I'll go get the oven started." and I went off, thank god I'm still small enough to fit through the doggy door. I ran, down the walkway to our front door. Then I stopped at the gate. The thought of climbing over it made me want to bawl. My dad used to always toss me over, and my mom would be waiting on the other side, ready to catch me. Obviously neither one of them were present, so I just pushed the latch down, and walked out. I'm pretty tall for a five year old, so I was able to reach it.


As I'm walking down the side walk, I asked myself, "Where am I going?" then my inner self told me, "The airport." I agreed with my instincts, and walked to the airport. I would say it took a good three days to get to the end of the block, and probably another four to get to the airport.


***********************************************************


"Okay Steph, the cookies are done, if you want one while there still warm. Steph? Stephanie come out of hiding right now! This isn't funny! Fine! I'll eat them all myself!" She bugs me. Her favorite game is hide and seek, and she's very good at it. I can never find her. But she can come out, when she's ready. Because I really don't care the least bit.

"Brad come see this! It's so pretty!"

"What is?" replied my lover, while looking over my shoulder.

"You left the gate open, how generous…." I said in a very snotty tone that I'm pretty proud of. "No I came in the back door, and you know that. You greeted me this morning by throwing something at me."

"Oh yeah, then who did it?" We both look at each other, and we realize that Stephanie isn't playing hide and seek, and she never was.

***************************************************'


By the time I got to the airport, I was very tired and hungry. So I went to this restaurant, and I ordered all by myself, which I was pretty proud of. I had a pretty good meal. Some macaroni with apple slices. I took my meal to go. The workers were really stupid to give me glass plates. That's just a waste of money if I'm going to throw it away, and that's exactly what I did. While I was gently applying the plate to the garbage, a very kind man offered me a drink. I took that offer, and it was delicious. But at that moment I had n clue who this man was.


*****************************************************


I had no clue where she would be! She's a boring person that has no friends, she doesn't know how to get to a park. So I was thinking, maybe the airport. She always talks about how much she misses her father, and maybe she thinks he would be coming home soon. "Airport, stat!" I say to Brad with a lot of emotion. He replies with a, 'why not?'.

When we show up, we're running at this point, hoping no one will take my child away. While we're running, I see her, throwing something into the trash. Then I see a tall man, in uniform, standing right in front of her. And I could see, even from a distance, her breath caught as she saw him standing there, sunlight dancing in his eyes. She started crying and running towards him. "Daddy, Daddy! Never leave me again. Never leave me with this evil person you call your wife! She's a bad person daddy!"

Of course, he turns over to me. Gives me a horrible glance, and walks away, into the sunlight, with my child, and never came back.

Science is a No-No

If you go around a school, any school, and ask all the kids what their least favorite subject is, what do you think they would say? Social studies, maybe math? Well, you are wrong. Science is the big problem. Nobody likes it, not one person. They might not mind it, but no one legit loves it. Science is a waste of time and space. We don’t need it, and we deserve to have science be optional. Us kids shouldn’t have to suffer.


If you had to choose between your kid having one more elective classes or playing with fire, what would you choose? Probably not the second choice. Every principal tries to keep all the children safe in their school, but they’re just making it more dangerous for everyone, and not just the students. The teachers too. If we were playing around with Bunsen burners, and someone knocked one over, the whole entire school would burn down! This would be horrible. People try to prevent fires, but really we’re just getting closer and closer to raising money for a new school. Because sooner or later someone will accidently(or purposely) set something on fire.


Science is a horrible class that doesn’t teach us anything but big words that we will never use. If someone really wants to become a scientist, they can take science class, but the rest of us should have to waste our time while we could be in another class learning something reasonable. Kids don’t even pay attention in science class, so it’s also a waste of time for the teachers. If no one listens to them, they shouldn’t even be teaching, instead they could be out doing something fun like shopping. Or finding a different job. It’s not like children don’t respect the teacher, they just don’t respect the subject. Which is why many people don’t get very decent grades in this class.


If we got rid of science and we knocked down the walls in between the two science rooms we have, and put a trampoline in the floor, our school would be so much better. We could have an elective call, ‘Bounce & Pounce’ or something like that. No one would regret it. Over the weekends we could have people pay to come jump on it for money. It would be such a joy! The school could raise even more money than we already have, and buy something else. Like a gold statue of Mr. Daul, or even me. This school would have many more people coming to it, considering that we would have a trampoline. And more people means more money. More money means more unreasonable things we could buy and put next to the gold statue of me.


If we get rid of science, everyone would be so happy. The teachers would be happy because they don’t have to listen to the complaining of students. The parents would be happy because they don’t have to listen to the complaining from their kids. And the children would be happy because no one likes this class and everyone knows it. It’s a waste of money, time, and space and we don’t need it. We should just ban science. It’s not safe for kids, and it never will be. Have you ever heard of the kid that died at school because of some weird experiment they were doing in school with Bunsen burners? Well, I haven’t but there’s probably some kid out there who has died in science class, and we don’t want that happening to any of our kids, so we should all agree that science is a big no-no and get rid of it before someone gets hurt!

Guloff the Penguin 2

“Pick up your mess Judiths’!” Guloff was a very unhappy mom. She hated how many kids she had, but she loved every single one of them. But it was hard to tell the difference between all of them. She had 4 sets of triplets, and one loner who was always depressed.


Judith was the oldest, and never had any friends. His only friend was his father, Pablo, which had recently died. They would play catch together, run together, play Wii together, they had the best times. He misses him the most. But after all the years, he forgot about his mom. And one day, all of her anger built up, and she killed Pablo. While he was sleeping, she took a knife and slowly, but surely, cut his head off. Then, she made a hole at the top of his head, and pulled his brain out. Judith was watching the whole thing, but he had no urge to stop her. Guloff took the brain and planted it in the yard.

In the summer it grew to be a humongous tree with lollipops growing off of it. Judiths’ loved that. They got their love of candy from their father. The family had a very happy life after that, but all of them became obese because the only thing they ate were lollipops. Eventually they all blew up, because they were so fat. Except for Judith, she didn’t even like lollipops. The women lived the rest of her life very sad and lonely.

Guloff the Penguin

The air was cold and Guloff was ready to take off. It was her and three monkeys. She couldn’t stand them. Their long tails, their warm atmosphere, and Guloff was living here, in freezing cold Antarctica. I guess it is where Penguins are supposed to live, but she hated in. She would rather be in the jungle. Climbing tree from tree, eating ticks from her lovers head, but no. She was a penguin and had to live in this ugly weather, and she was glad to be leaving.

“In 10, 9, 8,7….” She was jumping with joy, “3,2,1…..BLAST OFF!” and off they went, into the night sky.

******************************************************

“Get out of my way!” I yell. Those chimps really tick me off. They just want to make me pounce out of this space ship. “I need a place to sit too! Just because your fat doesn’t mean you have to take up two chairs now move! Please?” Finally the fat one moved and I was actually safe.


A little bit later, the gravity turned off. It was so fun. We were spinning in the air, doing a bunch of jumps, and flips. I did things I was never able to do on earth. At one point in time, all the monkeys got so mad at me for being so excited about this (It was my first time), they shoved me out the door of the ship, and I was floating. I’d rather be here than anywhere else right now, and I’m having the time of my life. I drifted through space, and out in the distance I saw a planet that looked a little bit like Earth. So I pushed my body towards it, doing the dog paddle, and sooner or later I was there! It was a beautiful magical place, and the only two living things there were penguins and fish. And the best part….IT WAS WARM! Now I knew what to do with my life!

*****************************************************
Guloff decided never to go back to Earth. She stayed on planet Mexico. She met a guy named Pablo, and trust me he was pretty darn delicious. They had 13 kids, all named Judith. They loved their Judiths’, and they lived a happy life. THE END:)

Guloff the Bunny Rabbit

Guloff was a little bunny. She always wore a black bow with sparkles on her head. She loved it and would never go anywhere without it. One day, she woke up and it was gone. She looked everywhere in her little rabbit hole, but it wasn’t under her bed, in the sink, it the bath tub, no where! Guloff ran all the way back where she came from (Mexico) and met her fairy god mother. They had a chat, and she said, “I’m glad to see you again my grasshopper. I will give you hints to find your special bow, and you will try to find it. Now go off.”

“But I need my hint.” Said Guloff, really confused. “Oh yeah,” says fairy godmother, “Follow the yellow brick road, and you’ll find it in no time.”

“Kay.” And she hopped off, down the yellow brick road. Unfortunately she ran into the big gate guarder: the goat. The bunny has heard stories of this goat, and none of them were good ones. “get out of my way you big fat goat!” screamed Guloff. She was really getting angry now. “Do you want your ribbon or not?”

The rabbit was confused, she had no idea what he was talking about. “What the heck are you talking about? I never had a ribbon.”

“I’m sorry. I meant your bow.” Said the giant goat. “oh haha sorry. Yeah can I have it back please?” asked Guloff in the highest pitch she could get to.

“Why not?” and the goat threw Guloff her bow and she went on her way after thanking him. She was so excited about getting her bow bck, that she wsn’t watching where she was going, and fell into a dark, endless hole, falling to her death.

Guloff was never seen again.

Mean Man, or the Priest?

Authors note: This is a point of view piece for 'Dead Men's Path'.

Michael Obi is a young man, not aware of other people’s feelings. He doesn’t care about other people’s beliefs, only his. One day when he was working at his school and he realized the villagers would take a path right next to the school building, and Obi didn’t like that because he thought they were scary and would get him in trouble. Being the person that he is, he shut down the path and made it so the villagers couldn’t walk down it. This was a horrible thing because the people did all their weird rituals there. After that, many bad things happened.


Michael Obi wasn’t a very kind guy. He didn’t care much about anything, and hated the idea of the villagers being close to the school. On the other hand, the villagers really cared about it. It was part of their life, and they grew to love it. They would talk to their ancestors there and even give birth there! Obviously it meant something to them! This story might have been better if the main character was the Priest. He went though much more than Michael and it would be more interesting than just a principal being freaked out by weird people. Instead you would learn all the weird things they do in their village. Which, in my perspective, would be a lot better and have more of a point to it.

Jesus the Caterpillar :)

Author's Note: My purpose of writing this piece is to show off what I got over the break(not for Christmas). Please give me feedback if you think I should make this story into a different point of view. caterpillar


It was New Year's Eve and it was a beautiful, sunny morning. I was sitting next to my friends, eating a pop tart. It was a great day so far, and I didn't know it was going to get even better.

In the afternoon, me and Ali went to Sam's club, and found the coolest thing. A giant rainbow caterpillar! We both bought one, it was fifteen dollars, but it was worth it. We had a great New Years. At one point we were yelling at each other, "You Don't touch my Jesus!" and "You don't touch my Dewy!" (I named my caterpillar Jesus and Ali named hers Dewy). It was a fun night.

In the morning, Jesus and I went home, to find my brother and his friend Dakota. I love bothering Dakota, it's a habit. It's a pretty good time. This time I went too far, though. He was so annoyed with me. Anyway, I was in the bathroom, putting my hair up for soccer, and wondering what they were doing because they wouldn't stop laughing. So, I went out in the living room and started freaking out. I couldn't find Jesus anywhere! Then they told me "Jesus is trying to escape!" I was confused. I looked out the window, and there he was, laying in the snow, right by our gate, 'trying to escape'. Dakota threw him out the window.
