Ch1
At the dawn of the twenty-first century, no one would have believed 2 children would get sucked up into a stone symbol which took them to another dimension. No one would have thought that after a hundred years away, was an alien desperate for the throne. Who would have thought that there was another living planet, blue and rocky without humans but with these orange, poisonous, four-eyed creatures that can kill you in a second.

1 step. 2 step. 3 step. Every step was a baby one but every one counted. Suddenly, an eerie light beamed up and down near the cave.
“R-r-ryan, it’s the light, the light Carrie told me about.” Whispered Kayley, as her eyes grew

    Literature is a wonderful thing; it explores the relationships between humans and their nature, historical events, and can be used to express one’s creativity. It can also be used to give moral guidance; this was Arthur Miller’s reasoning behind writing The Crucible. In this dramatic retelling of the Salem trials, Miller ensnares his reader with stories of adultery, betrayal, and material greed. His intention, however, is not to entertain with operatic drama. This play is a cautionary tale about finger pointing and its potentially fatal consequences.…
