The Dragon Amulet “This is unfair, unjust!” Michelle went on like this every day, although her rant was particularly long today. Michelle’s sister, Opal stared out the window as the fall leaves drifted across the small city. “Shh,” said Opal, “I’m reading about the Dragon Amulet. It’s a magical amulet. People say it has a mind of its own.” “That’s just a silly legend, Opal. Now let’s focus on reality. There’s a dragon taking over our city.” The dragon was mean and unpredictable, but the…

The bedroom door slammed, and I dove for my bed. Somewhere downstairs, glass shattered. Rain pounded the windows, and the wind howled outside. There was no escape. The spirit was here. It all began earlier, when I decided to do one of the three haunted houses down the street from our rented house for my research project. Not that I believe in ghosts, of course. Today was my day to gather information. I’m on my way to the old Perella house now, where my tour starts. I glanced out the car…

Calcified drusen have a shiny appearance. All of the other types of drusen can have calcification also, but calcified hard drusen are known to stand out the most. It is unclear how much drusen effects the development of macular degeneration. In some cases, there can be a little amount of drusen with a greater amount of visual damage, or there is a lot of drusen present and the vision may not be that bad. Drusen are infamous for being inconsistant. (Kanski, 1992). Non-exudative (dry) is by far…

with my index finger. He grabbed my hand and shook his head. I giggled at his reaction and looked past him. The hallway behind him was pitch black and strange noises were coming from within the darkness. “Do you know the way to Henry’s office?” His eye sockets widened in excitement. Tiny as he was, he had enormous strength. He ever so gracefully lifted me off the ground and carried me through the maze of hallways. After his speed run through the bleakness, we came upon a room lit with a…

I sigh with relief. HUGE mistake. Danny and Jase both turn around. I hold my breath. Danny’s eyes scan the surrounding forest and his gaze stops on my tree. Gulping, I slowly backed away. I’ve gone three steps when my foot lands on a dry branch. It snaps, the sound like a gunshot in the stillness of the forest. I turn and run. “We’ve got you…

with his ice blue eyes, then at my ' This girl loves Sam Smith' t-shirt. He lifts it slowly as if he thought I was going to stop him. I don't know what i'm thinking anymore. One side of of my brain is screaming stop him, what is wrong with you? The other agrees with my raging hormones, lips and the fire inside of me . Truth is I don't want him to stop right now,…

I heard something coming inside my room. I thought it was my brother, I turn around, but it was no one. As I kept crying I felt like something jumped to my bed, I turn around and it was her. She went closer to me, and she stared at me with her big eyes. It seemed like if she was asking me," What’s wrong with you? What happen? How can I help you?". Since she couldn’t do anything, she went up to me and licked my face. Then, she…

if everyone was alright. They took us to the hospital for a few hours to make sure. Then we got to go home and see our family. We missed them so much, and they missed us too. “I was worried sick about you guys!” exclaimed my aunt with tears in her eyes. Jenny, Gina, and I told everyone the story. A few weeks later, Jenny and Gina went to school and felt more confident now like they could accomplish any task. Everyone wanted to hear our story. Many people admired us because we were strong enough…
