with her so that she would be popular and he was just a baker. Finally, she devised an evil plan so that she would get attention. The next morning Acacius woke up and Chira had already started baking. She had all sorts of pastries and bread. She had generously made her specialty which Acacius had adored. It was just a slice of warm, fluffy bread topped with fresh fruit and a glass of wine. He was so grateful and he thanked her for the fresh treat.

Chira stood there, contemplating what to do. She then burst out of the house realizing what a horrible thing she had just done. She told her neighbors, and her friends; she told everyone in her path and she asked them for…

Knowing this was selfish, he still was going through with it with regret. Dor flipped his hourglass over horizontally, essentially stopping the flow of the sand and stopping time.

it.” As I was running away, he kept stopping in front of me. I was starting to freak out, but kept telling myself “stay calm” but that didn’t work. When I got to my house, there he was sitting on my doorstep. Also next to him there was an hourglass tipped over. It was still full. It had not started pouring out yet but when the man saw me, he tapped it and it started pouring out. I ran into my room and locked the door, but when I turned around he was sitting on my bed. “What do you want from…

Hi journal, it’s Beatrix. Today I am going to do something I have not done for a while I am going to describe every single thing I did today in five paragraphs. So let’s begin! Today I found something that will top off everything I have found so far. Today I found a time machine! It was in an underground nuclear bomb shelter used in the year 2070, covered under a white blanket. It was so dusty I think that I saw a dust “bunny” the size of a tall brick wall. Plus the best part is it’s all right…
