“Wait… I was under the impression that all infected areas been quarantined at this point,” Governor Lewis proclaimed. Everyone at the table kept their mouths shut, as they felt an intensity that would soon escalate into power struggle steadily increasing. “Governor!” Hanes said, sternly as he raised his voice back at Lewis while pounding his fist on the conference table. “This sickness has covered two major cities, several states, scores of counties, and a myriad of townships and municipalities throughout the northeastern corridor in less than a week.…
A series of small waves pressed the sail boat against the alge dock as his cold and cracked hands desperately yanked on the rope in an effort to raise the sails. Dark clouds had moved in the night before and had stayed overnight providing a refreshing sprinkle of rain every now and then. He looked out over the vast plain of unsettled water and saw one individual white cap rise up among the rest only to be pushed back down. Due to the lack of sunlight the frigid water appeared black and lifeless but he knew that below it was a complex community of different species. He then bent over the side of the boat and reached for its securing ropes.…

Hello Mr. Bills, I am currently sick and not allowed to attend school until I have received my test results from the doctors due to the fact that I am highly contagious at the moment. Since I am not allowed at school, I gave Kaitlin the outline of "A Stream in the Ravine". Guy and I both worked on it in class and he told me he would turn it in because the bell had rung. When you handed papers back, you gave it to me. I have talked to Guy and he said he turned it in.…

I only watched helplessly as the turquoise vase wobbled off of its shelf, seemingly falling in slow motion until it hit the cold stone, erupting in a firework of glass. He swiveled his head around, eyes widened, pale face, and trembling hands. My hands automatically went up to clasp my mouth, muffling a scream that never came out. He looked at me, and I looked at him. I looked at him, and he looked at me.…
In the morning while local middle schoolers are waiting for the bus a strange lady claps while walking along the sidewalk and scaring local children. On 9/28/15 two anonymous witnesses were waiting for the school bus when they first saw the perpetrator, an unknown lady who was slowly walking and clapping.

Pony and I lay there in the woods watching the stars. As Pony went home I started to doze off as I watched the stars. As I was sleeping, Ponyboy woke me up with an aggressive tug & push, “come on Johnny, we’re getting out of here” Pony began, “we’re going far away” he continued. I didn’t know what happened or what was wrong but I just followed Pony’s lead.…
Like the quiet before the storm, there was another nigh-complete silence, a well-needed respite after the deafening gunfire they had been subjected to; then, the thunderous sound started up again, the crack of Daniel Stoll shooting indiscriminately like a madman. The gang members, surging through this unreliable curtain of bullets, did not pursue their entourage, instead slamming the door shut with a tremendous clamor. It was a bizarre, ridiculous decision. Had they wanted to escape the wrath of Mr. Stoll and his equalizer, it was entirely possible to simply not walk towards the doorway! Instead they pressed forward into a place with no cover to merely shut a door.…
There’s a little slice of Heaven in Marshall, Texas, where the sun shines through the pines and the sound of cicadas serenade you throughout your afternoon and the lake shines like a plate of polished silver in the early morning sun. When I first came to Camp Fern, I was on my own. Everyone else had known each other for at least two years, so I was the odd one out. In my cabin there was the usual sort. There was the popular one, the attention seeker, the joker, and the one you love to hate.…
All she could think of with each passing lick to her brothers head was how that leopard was getting a good taste before sinking its teeth into him. She was nervous, not only did the vampires pose a threat to the twins but these oversized hairballs did as well. How could she be so stupid as to allow this?! Her silly brother had the best of intentions and apparently, he was very persuasive when he convinced her to free the animals or else she wouldn't be standing here now. [b]" They are not kittens XIU!…

“Well, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, right?” “But he’s a guy!” “Didn’t he fight or somethin’?” “Was he asking for it?” “Mr. Pierce?…
My lungs were ignited, heart stammering, every muscle threatened to cramp. If I had even stopped running, I would’ve met my demise. Everywhere around me were kids bolting towards the same place I was headed to, safety. Sirens were banging on my eardrums and I forced myself to run faster. I needed to get to the door before it closed.…
