Wave-Soaked Maiden
A broken seashell crunched under my foot as I stepped out the door that fateful morning. Older and Wiser heads than I might have called it a warning of what was to happen to me, an omen of Fortune to come, and councelled me to remain at home. Had I been able to afford it, I would have.

Halloween Night At Sunset Creek
Halloween was approaching and I was dreading hanging out with my friends for the first time ever. Everyone at our school was talking about meeting up at the old creek behing the railroad tracks. Sunset Creek was always the talk of our town. There was a splendor of creepy stories in our small town about Sunset Creek. People disappearing, ghostly apparitions, and everything else in between that you can imagine. One thing for sure is that in my 6 years of living here I had not gone anywhere near that creek. It was our senior year and unfortunately, one of our high school's traditions was to take a trip to the creek on Halloween night. I was still contemplating if I would even go through with this tradition or fake a situation the night of. "Jonah!", my teacher called out my name for what might have been the 3rd time before I came to. "Huh?" I said, still in my daze of thinking about Halloween night. "Your homework, do you have it?" "Oh yea", I replied as I reached in to my bookbag to retrieve my homework. I stood up and walked to the teacher's desk to put my paper into the homework tray. The bell rang and we all shuffled our belongings to race out of the shcool. "Have a great weekend!" our teacher yelled, as we flew out the classroom door. I met up with my friends outside of the school and we all walked home. Terry & Steven were excited about the weekend's events. "Homecoming game tonight, & Sunset Creek tomorrow night I can't wait!!", Steven said. "Yea, me too!", Terry exclaimed. "You dont seem too excited, Jonah. What's up with you man?" Steven said. "Uhh, I don't know about tomorrow guys, I don't think I'll go." "Aww come on, it'll be fine!", Terry said. "I guess", I said as I walked up the steps of my house and waved goodbye to go in and get ready for the night's homecoming events.

The Glitter Girl
The Glitter Girl was everything her name sounded to be. She was light and beauty. A beacon of hope in a dark world that was always burning. Always crumbling down into a million pieces. She was the girl to put a smile to your face. To remind you that there were things worth living for. The Glitter Girl performed and sang for those desperate enough to hear her calls, like a siren leading a sailor to his doom, but she was the opposite. She led depressed souls, hungry for happiness to the buffet of honored kings and worthy folks. She fed those with her light, never caring if it would impact her brightness. She was selfless and kind. A queen to rule in a previously broken kingdom, ready to fix her world.

Upon arriving to the front of the Tree house Peter Pan noticed something different, there was something in the letter box there has never been anything in the letter box before. So Peter pan opened up the top and removed what was inside. Sure enough it was a long white envelope, properly addressed and everything. How exciting Peter Pan thought as he closed the lid to the letter box and went inside the tree house.

Cassie’s Beach Trip
It is mid-August week. It's about 1 PM. It’s a nice day in the glorious summer time in the afternoon. The wind is blowing. The palm trees are flowing through the wind. There is a crystallized-sandy beach filled with many exotic and colorful sea shells around the land and water. The ocean waves peacefully. The water is aqua-crystal blue. The seagulls, the parrots, and the macaws are flying in the bright blue sky. Cassie is heading through the village to meet up with her partner and best friend, Odette, the elven ranger, at the ship dock. Odette is almost 6 foot tall, like elves exact height is. She has a lean-athletic body, freckles, and cool half shaved long-wavy golden hair. Odette thought Cassie could take a break for a while from her studies at her Sorcery academy and do some sea adventures with Odette. Odette invited Cassie for their special beach trip just the two of us. It's only a day ride, like a road trip in the sea. Some people would say that it's just a deep-sea boating or maybe a short family vacation cruise. Suddenly, Cassie saw Odette at the dock. ‘Hey!” Cassie shouted. “Hey!’ Odette shouted too. They wave at each other. Cassie arrived. She has to catch her breath. “Hey, Cass-are you ready?” Odette asked, carrying her bag around her shoulder. “Oh yes! I’m super ready,” Cassie cheerfully replied. Odette and Cassie were heading on their way to the massive ship with their excitement. Then, they found a ship. It’s like the size of a Viking or a pirate ship. It has many charming characters with aristocratic details along with a mystical mermaid detailed statue on the head of a ship.
