On October 21, 2015, our class was assigned to do an observation of humanity and all living entities outside our school. The excursion was from American Indian Public Charter School II to Lake Merritt. Along the way, our class noticed that Oakland was bustling with activity. Business (stores) was overflowed with customers, local citizens were jogging, animal- life was consuming the mere crumbs on the concrete, and the Oakland Museum of California was occupied by a diverse group of…

~Tutankhamen’s POV~ No matter how much I try to deny I can't get these feelings out of my head. The moment I first saw him, I had a crush. I should introduce myself more properly, I am Prince Tutankhamen of Luxor. When I was living that is. Ever since the dark god Set performed a ritual on me, I’ve been an undead mummy ever since. The him I was talking about is Spinx. He saved me from Set and is even trying to return me to my original form. Spinx risked everything to find the canopic vases…

Boulevard Park was filled with action when I got there on Friday. It was a beautiful sunny day, though slightly chilly, and people were all over the park doing different activities. Some moms were running with their kids in strollers, others walked and talked with their friends having a good time and sipped on their drinks from Wood’s Coffee, but some was merely sitting on the benches looking at the stunningly beautiful nature. A question that arose as I watched the surrounding and…

hopefully as long as I can, I will try to stay and live here. If I have good luck, Goldie's owners won't find me as I live in her ear, but for now my diary of my six day journey to get to the ear must end, and I must enjoy the time I have, without writing everything in a journal everyday. I will enjoy my paradise in…

The Last Ride Gidal awoke from his short-lived rest, his eyelids - peeled apart to reveal a scene that was none too familiar to him. He had been on the same train for three days, the sound of train wheels clanging was just white-noise. The outside world, only visible through small cracks in the wooden carriage. He was a Jew, like the other seventy who had been herded carelessly into cattle cars, treated as if they were animals – pests. He went to peer out one of the small cracks, pushing his…

For as long as I could remember the lock to my bedroom window had been missing. As a child that was the source to all of my nightmares. I was afraid of all the things that could get in and hurt me without the safety of the lock. Every shadow I saw was a monster and every sound that I heard was it trying to get into my room. I had a right to be scared, but what I didn't know was that I would let the monster in willingly. The older I became the more used to the missing lock I got. I actually…

“Alright Joseph are you ready to get the riches that all adventurer across the world dream of.” “Persy I told you it’s not all fun and games thousands of people have died in that maze.” Joseph Said in a angry yet concerned voice. “Ya yah I know that’s why we brought these” Woosh Percy pulls out a sword of pristine power and a staff for only the strongest of mages. “Remember we have to wait till day because the the gatekeeper is nocturnal and he is still a beast in daytime” Said Joseph. “Percy…

“No,” he answers. “They use them. Force them to build weapons and other junk…” He pauses, stepping around me. “What’re you doing? The power core’s blown.” “It’s not,” I whisper, eyes never leaving the weapon. “What?” I snap the tiny casing back on with a pop. “Said it’s not. It’s old and a bit slow, still works though. All it needed was a few wires switched and the core lineament adjusted.” I flip the switch on and the laser gun lights up, a soft purring tingling my palm. I aim at the wall and…

ELDON THE GIANT AND BREDOCK HOLT THE GNOME lay concealed in a patch of scrub grass and stubby trees, which did little to shelter them from the elements. It was late evening and they were high on a steep hillside overlooking a bleak valley. They were both well wrapped against the biting wind and incessant driving rain, but that did little to raise their spirits. It had rained almost nonstop since their arrival in Yar-Atgur, the Gnome homelands. They had set out straight after the meeting with…

My car had slowed lights flickering and the engine cutting out every so often. I pulled off to the side just as the sound of the car running cut out. I turned my keys over and over only resulting in the car spluttering and cutting off. I got out of my car the sound of the woods surrounding me being the only noise. I went to the front of my car and opened the hood though I didn’t know what was wrong with it. I pulled my phone out of my pocket to call for some help only to see that I had no signal…
