The Best Time I Had With My Family

One of the best times I had with my family is when we went on a trip to California. When we got there it was very late so we had to stay in a hotel before moving to where we were going to stay the rest of the trip, a house boat! it was really fun staying on a house boat in Sausalito and going to San Francisco during the day. We even got to see our friends Celia and Roman on the trip! it was a really fun trip and it was sad to leave but it was good to go home and see all our friends again.

Family Tree

My family is very big with roots from Ireland, Italy, Germany, and Hungary. My great-grandmother on my dad's side is from Hungary and on my mom's side, North Carolina. My great-grandfather on my dad's side is from Italy and my mom's side, Ohio. My Grandma and Grandpa on my dad's side were both born in Pittsburgh and raised my dad and his three siblings there too. My Grandpa on my mom's side was born is Ohio and my grandma on my mom's side was born in North Carolina. When my mom's mom was twelve she moved to ohio, where she met my future grandfather and raised my mom and her two sisters. My parents met in ohio in college, moved to pittsburgh, and then moved to florida and had me and my brother.

Family traditions

     One tradition me and my family have is on christmas. In the morning when we wake up, we all go into the living room and open presents! after were done playing with all of our new toys and reading our new books (which is usually some time in the afternoon) we go over to my grandma's house in the adjacent neighborhood and have a second christmas with our cousins and aunts and uncles. After we're done opening presents there, we all have dinner together and play around for the rest of the night. This is one of my family traditions that we can all enjoy each year!

"Journal Of The Cleft" story

The gentle breeze that blew across my face felt good in the humid heat of north Florida. I instinctively grinned at hearing the good news, but dried out my mouth when I did. I pedaled my small orange mountain bike as fast as I could without straining my lungs. I got the bike for my ninth birthday. at the time it actually fit me, but now I had to hunch over while riding it. I steered over into the shade underneath the live oaks, magnolias, and palm trees that lined the road throughout my neighborhood. The shade immediately felt at least ten degrees cooler than in the sun. The average temperature here in summer ranges from eighty on a cool day to ninety-five on a hot day, even in winter the temperature was probably only seventy to eighty. Even though it was unbearable to be outside for more than an hour, it rained often and the rain was cool. You could still see dark water stains in pits of the asphalt road remaining from the last big rain. Today was wednesday which means the garbage people came to pick up plant scraps from people doing yard work. Huge piles of tree branches and saw palmetto clippings lined the left side of the road while only a few on the right. Occasionally there would be palm tree clippings in the piles which we would take and use as makeshift machetes. I carefully remove my hands from the show handlebars of my bike and raised them up to my head. After a few weeks of practice I finally mastered the art of riding without hands. I quickly skirted around the sharp turn separating the two hemispheres of the neighborhood. As my bike speeds up it starts to wobble and I carefully slow down and maneuver it around the next corner. After the corner there is a fork in the road. Although it's a loop I opt to turn right as my destination is in upper right of the circle. I slow my bike even more so I can find the house. I scan the first few houses and instantly tule them out as they have cars in their driveway. A few houses later I spot two next to each other that have vacant drives. I spot a narrow sand path littered with weeds and a barbed fence in the background. "Ah here we are" I whisper to my self, quickly glancing around to make sure nobody was listening. I mount my bike and quickly pedal throughout the pit ridden driveway. The small native weeds and vines brush and scrape against my ankles, but I hardly feel it as I'm used to trekking through the local pine forests. A rusty barbed fence lines the left of the path, blocking access to a unused dirt road just beyond it. I see my destination just past some low scrub, a lime green one story house with a sheet metal roof and a wooden picket fence. The end of the path lets out to another dirt road with a giant mud puddle in the dead center. I ditch my bike at the end of the path and walk around the mud puddle and into the empty lot next to the house. From the lot I can see to the end of the road, a giant three story tall bright purple house sat at one side of a small dirt cul-de-sac. It was mostly blocked with trees but the bright plum color shown through them. I rattle the rusty coupling on the wooden gate until it comes loose. The gate swings open and I step into the small overgrown lawn. I half walk-half jump up the steps on the small house and pry open the creaky screen door. As always, the house in emanating with the smell of fresh cookies. I rap my knuckles on the front door and stick my hands in my pockets. I hear footsteps coming towards the door. The door quickly flips open.

"Distortion" story

For more years than I can count I have been here. I have become accustomed to this world of darkness and confusion. Although it hasn't all been bad. My time here has taught me to comprehend the universe around me in a new way.

around the world in 6.4 seconds

     Yep, I'm in big trouble. The helicopters started coming in closer to the old warehouse. "come on, follow me!" the professor yells at me from behind a large crate. I sprinted over to the crate, he swiftly grabbed my wrist and pulled me down a shaft behind the crate, still firmly clasping the bronze device in his hand. I guess I should start at the beginning, I'l make this quick.

      After a few weeks of summer, I started getting extremely bored. The various trails and roads started to get tempting so one day I started walking. I made it a routine to walk down the old trails and roads. After a few weeks of walking I found an old abandoned warehouse. I went inside and found Professor Darius. The professor had been living in the warehouse and was working on a strange invention. A time machine. He refused to tell me what it actually did. I started visiting him in the warehouse and we became friends. I didn't tell anyone about it until 6 days ago. I was talking to my friend Jacob and told him about the professor, I told him not to tell but apparently he did because right now the warehouse was being surrounded by black helicopters. So here we are trying to escape and as it turns out the professor had this planned for a while because he has a secret exit.

     ]At the end of the latter a long dark stone hallway stretches for hundreds of feet, maybe even miles. As we sprint down the hallway I start to question the professor about the machine. To my surprise, he answers. "This is no ordinary time machine my boy!" he says excitedly. "Theres such thing as a normal time machine?" I say in a snarky tone. "This time machine does not simply take you back and forth through time, It slows down and speeds up time!" The professor is obviously very happy about the completion of of his device despite being chased by the government. "So you could like stop time and go home and get something and come back and nobody would even notice?!" "precisely!" the professor shouts. "well then why don't you use it right now so we can get out of here!" I say, starting to feel anger towards the professor. "Well, I haven't exactly tested it out yet" the professor gasps. "how about we try it now!" I say as I reach over. I swiftly lunge at the palm-sized device's activation button. I hear the button click and then everything goes quite.

     Me and the professor stand in the hallway in confusion. "It appears that it  didn't work" the professor says drearily. "Don't look now professor" I say pointing at the ground. The pebbles that we kicked up as we were running are suspended in the air. "By jove!" The professor shouts. he picks up one of the pebbles, lifts it up to head height and lets go. The small rock floats in the air. "Ok, lets try the other feature" the professor says blandly. Before I can say another word, the professor turns a small knob on the device.

     Suddenly I start to feel out of breath again, and then me and the professor start running down the hallway at ridiculously fast speeds. My vision is blurry and I can't think of anything for more that a couple of milliseconds. I see the ladder for a split second before me and the professor zip up it. The light causes me to go blind for a few seconds but I'm still moving. It feels like I'm not controlling my own actions. The professor apparently clicked the button because my brain starts filling with information and flipping in-between subjects. suddenly my mind goes blank and I feel dizzy. "That was amazing!" the professor says still swaying around dizzily. "Now we just have to get to Tochigi Japan" The professor states, satisfied with the device. "Whoa whoa whoa, what!" I yell at the professor. "Indeed, there is a company there that manufactures a piece that I need for my device.

Wolf Preservation

Wolf preservation is very important. As most animals, if wolves went extinct the ecosystem would be messed up. Most people see wolves as brutal, savage, carnivores that will kill you if you come in contact with one, but fortunately this is wrong. The truth is, Wolves are more important they get credit for. if they were to be hunted to extinction many species would be harmed, including humans.

Even if you personally dislike wolves, you won't want them to go extinct. If wolves no longer existed many species would slowly die off as well. For example: Wolves pick off and eat animals that are small, injured or sick, so if you take away this animal's predator there gene pools will slowly get worse and worse which will make them to also go extinct. There is also many plants that benefit from rotten meant and bones, and if these plants don't survive then many species of herbivores many go extinct as well. People generally underestimate wolves and there effect on the ecosystem, and thus think that they are unimportant.

Among other things, people hunt and bounty wolves because we think they are simply savage beasts that will attack anything, this is very very wrong. Wolves, like many other creatures are scared of humans and will only attack there natural prey. There has NEVER been a report of a healthy wolf attacking a human in North America. Our fear of wolves dates back to the 1800s when mythology about wolves was very common, this is also where stories like little red riding hood, the three little pigs, and the bot who cried wolf originated. Wolves are not blood-thirsty man eaters and should be treated with the same respect as any other animal.

Washington DC big writing, Draft #1, May 7, 2012

Over the four days that I stayed in Washington DC I think me, my group, and my chaperones did more than I normally do in a month. In one day alone we went to two to three memorials as well as three to four museums, on the last day we also went to a zoo. We could've stayed in DC for two weeks and we still wouldn't have run out of things to do. We even went on a ghost tour later one night. Washington DC is a very fun place to go if your looking for a lot of things to do, here are some of things to do:

Madame Tussauds Wax Museum is very fun if your looking for something obscure to do. If you have just spent a few days touring around seeing some of the things like the Capitol or the Lincoln Memorial then this is definitely a change of scenery. Although you wouldn't normally except much from the small building on the corner, it is quite outstanding. Last week When we went to the museum I was very impressed at how realistic the wax figures looked, if you took a picture by one of the figures and showed it to your friends they would believe you! Although it might not look like a large tourist trap, that doesn't mean its not fun, in fact it is quite the opposite. I would highly recommend that if you are in the area that you visit Madame Tussauds.

The Newseum is the museum of news and journalism. The Newseum hosts exhibits ranging from the history of news and journalism, to a piece of the berlin wall, to an archive of newspapers from different eras, to a piece of the world trade center. The Newseum is also highly interactive, for example there are interactive touchscreen panels showing todays newspapers from around the world. Although if you happen to go to the Newseum someday, and you are afraid of heights, you might not want to take the glass elevator to the fifth floor.

If you are an animal person like me than you definitely want to visit the National zoo. The zoo is a great place to see animals that you wouldn't normally see in zoos, like giant pandas or kiwi birds. If you want to see smaller mammals, they have a section for that, or amphibians they have a section for that too. When we went to the zoo i was very astonished at how convenient it was, if i wanted to see a orange toxic newt you could just go to the salamander section and find the label that says "orange toxic newt." the zoo was very fun, I would love to go there again.

All together going to DC was a very fun and not to mention educational trip. I had never gone on a school trip until then so this was very exciting and fun for me. There was an endless amount of stuff to do there which just makes me want to go back. If i ever went to DC again i would definitely spend more time in the zoo and also the natural history museum. I had never really gone to DC before but now I know that it is an awesome place to visit and  hope that i get too go back!

Governments Around The World

     Yes, a government is good for some things like protecting us from war and giving us jobs, but there are governments in other places around the world that are not so good. Governments also bring war, and take away jobs. Although most of the governments that you are probably familiar with are ones similar the the government that we have in America, there are hundreds of different governments.

     Most governments such as our Democracy government aim to heighten the quality of the country at which it stands, but not all effects of government are positive, such as a dictatorship. Some governments are created by brute force and are not just to keep order. Of course there are other governments all around the world, some good and some not so good.

     The Democracy government was devised by the ancient Greeks to keep order and justice among the people and to allow them to vote for who they wanted to be their president. Although back in 507 BCE only males from Athens were allowed to vote and wealthier individual's votes were given more influence in deciding their ruler. Nowadays anyone over 18 is allowed to vote and the more prosperous citizens aren't given more impact on the overall vote.

     Some governments are not so oriented to the better good of their people and need to be taken by brute force and not by voting. Dictatorship is a government that is usually taken by force. A dictatorship can also be a government where the leader has pooled up all the power for themselves and used said power to take over. The most famous dictatorship was Adolf Hitler's rein over germany from 1933 to 1915.

    Some governments are ruled by those who are physically strong, others such as Geniocracy are ruled by the most creative, innovative, and intelligent citizens.

Why the Axolotl should be saved from extinction draft #2

     Do you know what an Axolotl is? If you don't then I don't blame you. The Axolotl is one of the rarest, most endangered creatures on the face of the earth.

     Axolotls should definitely be saved from extinction. These Aquatic miracles of nature could be the key to finding a way to grow things like organs or skin without having to take one from a dead human.

I think Axolotls should be saved just because its our fault that their extinct. We are the ones who drained their lake into canals and released fish into said canals that ended up eating the Axolotls.

Among other reasons why they should be saved, Axolotls also make great pets.

     Scientists have been trying to find a way to regenerate organs for a long time, They thought that lizards would be the key considering that they can grow back their tails. The real key to artificially grown organs is actually the Axolotl. Axolotls can regrow limbs, heart tissue, and even brain tissue. This regrowth factor allowed scientists a few years ago to swap the brains of two axolotls, both of them survived and took on the characteristics of the converse axolotl. Awareness of the Axolotl should be spread throughout the world, They really could benefit humanity.

     In the early 20th century they drained lake Xochimilco into a series of canals that was widely the cause of the axolotl extinction. Similar to putting lemon juice on a cut; a few years after the lake was drained they released various types of fish into the lake that were popular among local restaurants. These fish happened to be predators of the Axolotl. Now the Axolotl is mostly extinct in the wild and its our fault.

     Among other reasons why Axolotls should be saved, they make great pets. Axolotls require very little care and are very easy to take care of. They don't need very much food and only require a tank full of cold, undisturbed water. If their owner were to go on some sort of outing for an extended period of time, it would be possible to put an Axolotl in a bowl and leave it in a refrigerator until you come back. The extremely cold water makes them go into a sort of coma or hibernation.

     If you want to save these wonderful creatures like I do, then go spread the word. Tell your friends about the little lonely Axolotl thats going to be gone in 10 years. Tell them about how that they could change the world of medical science.

The disaster on Mount Piptrysk

It was a cold dark night. The calls of the Flurbinskip could be heard from miles away. Me and my friend were skiing on mount piptrysk when it happened. We got stuck in a cave on the side of the mountain . We thought that the trail was just a shortcut to the lodge. It wasnt. It got dark fast. We were definitly lost. Me and Fenrir just wanted to go skiiing, thats all we asked, but innstead we ended up having to sleep in a cold wet dark terrible cave in the middle of who knows where. Even now as we starve in this cave. Even now as it will be peeking on morning. Even now, we may never see civilization again. We decided to jourey deeper into the cave. That was a mistake. The cave spiders, huge three foot long poisonous spider. The blue and black tone of their exoskeleton is supposed to ward off predators. What predators. The spiders attacked us, we fought them with all of our might. our iron longswords were too heavy  to fight off the quick moving creatures of the caves. we had to fight them off with our ski poles.  We did fight them off. The remaining of the spiders retreated. It was a small victory. We traveled deeper into the caves, as the monsters at the surface were worse. We jumped over pools of water deeper than the deepest lake. We jumped over pits of spikes sharper than the sharpest blade. We jumped over pits of magma hotter that the hottest furnace. We made itto the end of the pits. Leaving only one obstacle in our way, the cliff. The cliff was stood in our way like a brick wall with spikes jutting out of it. We started to scale the cliff. We could see light pouring  in from the top of the cliff. The sharp rocks were dangerous, I almost got impaled multiple times. We finnaly got to the top. We could see the cave entrance. We climbed out of he cave. We could see a house in the distance. Something was reflecting off the snow. It was being burned down by trolls.

"The Ender" big writing (not done)

"What is it?" I stared at the strange spherical blue-green object. I tried everything to figure out what the thing was. I heated it, I cooled it, I put it in the light, I put it in the dark, I put it in water, I even hit it with a hammer. It didn't do anything. Oh right, i need to tell you where I found this thing.  Ok, here it goes:

 It was a dark and stormy night, I sat in my house looking out the window, when suddenly I started seeing this strange purplish pink fog every where. I went out in the rain to investigate. I went over to the lake where i first saw the purple snowy stuff. I stood on the shore of the lake watching the purple cloud get closer. It seemed to be teleporting very short distances rather than actually moving. I started to walk towards my house but it was too fast. The cloud teleported in front of me and i fell down into the water. The cloud dissipated and standing in front of me was a tall thing black figure with purple eyes. It was at least 3 feet taller than me. It stood there making sounds that could be translated into pain. The creature fell to the ground. I kneeled in front of the creature. The creature turned into a pile of ashes shaped like his body. What was left of the purple cloud got rapidly sucked into the chest area of the ashes. The rain washed away the ashes revealing the blueish-green shiny orb that has baffled me for the last 2 and a half days. Even though I couldn't figure out what this object was, I couldn't let it occupy all my time.

It is early in the morning, I grab my fishing rod and net and head outside. I stand on the shore of the lake where I first saw the strange beast. I drop the fishing pole onto the sandy beach and wade out into the water with my net. After a few hours of waiting i finally managed to scoop up a squid and a few fish. I brought the squid to the little pond I made behind my house and plopped it in."I'l name you Fizzy" I said to the squid. Fizzy propelled himself to the other side of the pond.

I went back inside my house and lit my fireplace. As i sat down in my chair, I looked over my shoulder at the orb. I shook my head at the orb and continued eating my dinner. After dinner i went into my bedroom and sat on the foot of my bed. "Wait a minute.." I ran back into my living room and grabbed the orb. I ran upstairs to my study and grabbed a blank book and an ink pen off my shelf. I half ran half stumbled down the stairs and back into my bedroom. I sat down in my bed and placed the orb on the foot of my bed and opened the blank book. The ink pen almost fell on the ground but i caught it. I start drawing the outline of the orb. In less than an hour i had completely redrawn the orb. On the next page I started to sketch out the tall figure that  i saw that night and next to that, the purple cloud. As I'm writing down all of the information I know about the creature and the orb I notice that its becoming dawn. I've been writing and drawing all night. I sit the book down on the table next to my bed and lay down. I stare at the orb at the foot of my bed until I fall asleep.

The wind blows on my face. Its cold here. I open my eyes to see where i am. I start to look down but the wind blows me backwards. I'm on a high place. The wind keeps blowing me back but i manage to get to the end of the small rocky platform. I look down, I'm on a huge mountain. The wind is wet like fog, little drops of water hit my face. I turn around and look at my surroundings, but instead I see the impossible. A creature like the one i saw in the rain faces me, It's glowing purple eyes are piercing my soul. It's eyes look like swirling pools of purple and pink. It just keeps staring at me, not moving, not flinching, nothing. I turn around, avoiding it's stare. The fog around the platform become so thick that i can't see down through at as i look off the edge. I turn back around to find that the creature is standing right in front of me. His eyes still staring down at mine like daggers stabbing my body. I recoil and trip backwards off the edge of the platform. I except to hit the ground but i just keep going down. As I'm plummeting downward i realize that the crude stone platform is a actually the peak of a seemingly infinitely tall mountain. I can still see the glowing purple eyes of the strange figure staring down at me through the fog. His body is gone, just his eyes glaring through the fog. The eyes seem to be getting closer, or bigger. The purple starts to engulf my entire line of sight until all i can see is the strange purplish pink glow.

"Ahhhhhh!" I'm lying on the floor next to my bed. I struggle to catch my breath as I lift myself up onto my knees. "What? It was just?....." It must have just been a dream, a realistic one at that. I grab the book off my bed and open it up to a blank page. I start to sketch out everything i saw in the dream, the mountain, the fog, a map of the platform, And the creature. My stomach rumbles and I realize that I haven't eaten yet. I go upstairs to my kitchen and make myself a breakfast of bacon, watermelon, and sparkling water. After breakfast I decide it would good to get some fresh air.

After a while of planting wheat, I decide to go over the river, to the meadow. The meadow is a small patch of field full of wild flowers and grass, it is one of the reasons why I moved here. Besides that, the small plain that i live on is an intersection between a forest, a desert, and the meadow. Plus it has a river. Once over the river I go and sit on the bench that I put there a long time ago. I look off to the horizon searching randomly for something that may or may not be there at all. A smooth breeze starts blowing by, it feels almost ominous. The sun is at it's peak. I walk half way over to the forest and look around at the border. I spot a small birch tree just outside the border of the forest. The tree looks small enough so I pull my axe out of my backpack and lob it at the tree. The blade goes half way through the trunk and the tree falls to the ground. I stride over to the fallen white tree trunk and start to split it up into 2 foot pieces. After I'm done with the trunk I whack the grayish green leaves with my axe until its just a pile of small twigs and leaves. I wrap up the leaves and twigs with some extra leather in my pack. I lift the bag onto my shoulder, stuff the planks of birch wood into my pack and start walking home. When i get home I lay the bag and the wood down on the side of my house and head inside.

My dinner consists of pumpkin stew, bread, and milk. I eat it slowly and considerately as if I'm waiting for someone to come into my house, no one does. After dinner I go into my bedroom and continue writing about my dream, the creature, and the orb. By the time I'm done writing my mind seams to have completely submerged in thought, I can barely feel my body and it takes my a while to remember my surroundings and completely wake up from my strange day dream like state. My mind still seems like it's swimming in a pool of dark murky nothingness. The same few pictures still flash back and forth in my mind like a broken camera. The orb. The tall dark creature. The mountain. But also something new, a seemingly endless starry void. I stumble into my kitchen and splash cold water on my face. The water is colder than I estimated and it feels like my face just got stabbed with a thousand icicles. I look out my window, the sun is either going down or coming up. It can't be going down because when i ate dinner it was already dark. It just now hits me that it's actually morning. I must be coming back to reality because i can feel my stomach rumbling. I decide to go back to bed

When i wake up, the cold morning seems to have been consumed by sunlight and warm air. There are no clouds in the sky whatsoever. I go outside for a quick glimpse of the wonderful day and then go back inside for breakfast. I easily scarf down 2 and a half loaves of bread and a whole glass milk for breakfast. The sunlight pours into my house like rain in spring. My body still feels tired but my mind is awake as it could be. I argue with myself trying to think of what to do. I eventually opt to go on a walk.

The fresh outside air almost makes me forget about the creature, almost. There still isn't a cloud in the sky. The weather couldn't be more perfect. I walk through the forest slowly, noting everything that I see. I cross a few small streams and walk over some hills. everything is just perfect. I find a nice tree on top of one of the hills and sit underneath it. A light breeze blows by causing the leaves to ruffle lightly. My mind feels numb, empty. I don't know how long I sat underneath the tree but when i finally get up my limbs are numb and cold. I start walking back towards my house. The path seems longer than before, and also more swampy and wet. The trees are bigger and the canopy in thicker. It takes me a while to realize that I'm lost. I stumble into a small clearing and sit down. I don't have a backpack or any supplies. My brain scrambles around. I try to consider my options but I'm too panicked. I lift myself into a nearby tree and try to spot my house. Theres a swamp to what I think is the north, another small clearing with a small cave opening in the middle to the west, a desert far off to the east, and more forest to the south, but  my house is nowhere to be seen. Its getting dark so I decide to lay down in the tree and sleep until morning.

The next morning I wake up to my stomach rumbling. I am very hungry but there doesn't appear to be any sources of food nearby. I climb back up to the top of the tree to try to see my house again. The wind on the top of the tree is cold and wet. The sun is still rising in the sky. I look off in all directions. I don't see anything until I look south. I see something about the size of my house poking up from  clearing of trees. I'm so happy that I half fall-half jump out of the tree and start running south. My legs are getting scratched up from running through the bush but I don't really notice. After a while of running I think I can finally see the clearing. I reach the clearing but I don't keep running. In fact, if I could make my body move I would start running backwards. What I see is a giant pile of wood, sand, dirt, stone, and leaves, But thats not what scares me, It's the hundreds of tall, black purple eyed creatures that are as of now, staring straight at me.

It didn't take long. It was effortless, they just picked me up and threw me around. After about 3 throws I was knocked out, and now I'm in this room made of strange black rock. There is not entrance or exit to the room, Just a four inch hole in the wall close to the floor where they give me this strange soup made out of mushrooms. The soup seems to have a healing effect because every time I eat it some of my injuries disappear. They slide in a bowl of the soup every half an hour, I'm very hungry so I ate about six bowls of the stuff. After my seventh bowl I started saving the soup up because I wasn't hungry anymore. After about 4 more bowls of the soup came through, one of the creatures made the mistake of sticking its hand too far in the slot. I immediately, without thinking, grab the end of the long claw tipped hand and pulled it as far as I could. I heard the creature slam into the wall and then the hand went limp. I pull the arm into the slot as far as I can. Attached to the upper arm of the creature is a band with a small grey and purple object shaped like a dagger with a flat end instead of a point. I rip the band off of it's arm and untie the object from it. I try to figure out what it does, but I can't. I isn't until stab the wall with it out of rage that i find out what it does. The blade part of the object slides smoothly into the wall. An outline of a square starts glowing int he wall with the object in the exact middle. The light isn't daylight, its yellow and dim like a stagnant swamp pool. I stare at the wall. suddenly theres a bright flash and then the area within the brick-shaped outline is gone and the object falls to the floor. I take the strange object that saved me and stuff it in my pocket Beyond the wall is a dimly lit hallway that strangely seems to be getting smaller and smaller. I start jogging down the hall but the door doesn't seem to be getting any closer. After about a minute of running I'm still not any closer. I pull the strange "key" out of my pocket and look around the room for anything I can use it on. After trying it on all the walls I eventually just stab the air with it. Sure enough, theres a bright flash and I'm at the end of the hall.

A musty fog lingers around the long black stone hallway. There are a few small passages trailing off of the main hall. The strange fog blocks me from seeing were the hallways go so i continue forward. I can't see the floor but my feet make a gravely scraping noise when the skim the floor. A bright purple flash emanates form one of the side passages. I immediately freeze.  I see another of the tall creatures coming from the same passage and i immediately drop to the floor. To my fear the creature is walking towards my end of the hallway. I hope that the thick musty fog will conceal my flattened body on the floor. The long slinky legs of the shadow creature slowly march toward me, making the same scraping noise that my feet made. His left foot starts to step over me slowly, as if in slow motion. The fear of the creature stepping on me and realizing I'm here starts to pierce my mind. The foot of the creature lands a few inches away from my head, he doesn't notice me. I start to breath sigh of relief but stop my self realizing that the creature is still there. After about three minutes of waiting I finally get up off of the rough ground which I now know was made of small shards of rocks. I get back up and start sprinting down the hall with the strange key object in hand. My lungs start to tire from sprinting down the hall. I start to slow my pace, although I am still running. The hallway seems to be almost endless. I hear noises behind me and I quicken my pace. My heart stops and i fall to the ground. A black figure bursts out of the passage in front of me. The creature quickly reaches his long dark claws into his leather belt and whips out a long scimitar with a blade made of some sort of blue stone or crystal. The blade swings down towards me with a large gust of wind that blows the thick fog away. Without realizing it I swing the bladed key through the air. I close my eyes prepared to meet death, but that is not what happens. There is loud screeching noise and metallic purple liquid splatter all over my face. I open my eyes, in surprise that I am still alive. The creature flings the sword down the hall behind me and grabs his wrist. I don't know what just happened but I take the opportunity and kick the creature in the leg. The creature slams to the floor with a loud bang, still screaming. I quickly dart for the sword, scrambling along the ground. I clutch the sword in my hand and jump to my feet.

I sprint overtop of the creature and start jogging down the hallway. I look back hoping that I'm safe but that is not the case. There are about 5 of the creatures lumbering down the the narrow hall, their long legs tripping over each other. I turn back round and focus my attention on getting out of this hallway. The smell of kicked up dirt and gravel mixes with the musty fog in the air causing a smell sort of like mud. The fog that hits my eyes as I run along burns, the sensation is nauseating. The small 3 foot wide hallway seems to be infinitely long. The I consider swerving down one of the small side halls but rule that option out as there could be more creatures waiting for me right inside. No matter how far I peer down the narrow hall I still seem to be getting nowhere. I hear the crackling screams of the creatures slowly gaining behind me. use as I'm about to turn around and try to hold off the dark creatures, I hear a  warped metallic pinging sound that deafens me for a split second. Suddenly a cloud of dark purple dust fills up my field of vision preventing me from seeing. I swing my arm violently through the purple dust and fog to reveal a tall black mass standing in front of me. Still barreling down the hallway, I instinctively swing the strange sword back and forth in front of me. The sword along with my arm slam into part of the large mass in front of me causing the sword to ricochet off of it and into the adjacent wall. Since the sword is heavy and made for larger beings than me, Its weight pulls me forward and into the hard wall. I tumble head over heels forward down the hall and past the dark mass. Just before I slam into the creature in front of me, my sword lashes around in mid air and slashes the creature multiple times. I whip past him and crash into the ground. My legs slam into the walls and fall back to the ground. I try to get up as quickly as possible but my legs are badly bruised and very soar. I swing my head around so I can see the hallway, the end of the hallway is close but I can hardly move. I manage to pull myself off the ground and start limping towards the end. The creatures are behind me, very close now, I thrust my body back wards and flail the blue crystalline blade around in the air. I hear some of the creature stop and some of them scream in pain. I make my best effort to keep running down the hall. The dark grey gravel on the ground is slowing my movement. I see then end of the hall, theres a small covered balcony probably about 20 feet off the ground. In one final lunge I throw myself off of the balcony. At this same instant I suddenly realize that I highly underestimated the height at which the balcony is above the ground and it is in fact about forty-five feat above the ground. I frantically try to think of what to do to buffer my fall. The creatures! there is at least three of them down below so I try to aim for one of them. I slam into the creatures back and it immediately falls to the ground shrieking. I get up and realize that I am surrounded by hundred if not thousands of the pitch black creatures.

I frantically look around hoping to find  a way out of my current situation and realize a few things, first of which is I'm on a giant plateau made of a pale yellow stone, second of which is that the sky is pitch black and theres a thick fog lingering around the whole plateau, third of which is that the plateau is littered with giant black cylinders of varying size. I start sprinting to the largest cylinder that I see hoping that there will be some kind of refuge waiting for me there. One of the creatures appears in front of me causing me to recoil in fear. I run forward and quickly swerve around the beast at the last second slamming my blade into its stomach. I suspect it screeches in terror as the others did but there are too many strange noises to even hear it fall to the ground. before I can stop I slam into the colossal cylinder. I try to recover as fast as I can and start feeling around its tar-hued surface. The whole thing is about 25 feet thick and as tall as the clouds, if there where any. I can hear the strange jibber of the creatures behind me and quicken my pace around the perimeter of the column. Suddenly my hand leaves the wall and I fall down seemingly into the pillar. I get up and realize that I fell into a small opening in the cylinder. I turn around to see a pair of diagonal potato's made of the same thing as the cylinder leading down underneath the column. I crack one of the doors open, dive down into the stairwell and slam the door shut as hard as I can behind me. I turn around and scan the small low-ceilinged room before me. Three of the creatures dive at me screeching like some kind of dying animal. I jump up and kick the first of the three to the ground and land on its back, another one grabs my arm and flings me to the other side of the room. I get up and grab the blue crystal blade with both hands and charge full speed at the shadowy monsters that stand in front of me. One of them runs at me while the other one stays put, I swing my knee up into the creatures stomach and swipe my blade hard against its arm. The creature flies into back wall and falls limp. The last of the three creatures starts backing up quickly but slams the back of its head into the low ledge above the doors and falls to the ground. I smirk at the sight of the creature but then I realize, it was scared of me.

I look down at my tattered stripped sweater, small metallic purple splotches litter its white fabric surface. For the first time, I look around the room. The walls and ceiling are made of the same black-purple stone that makes up the rest of the pillars. The floor is tiled with what appears to be a combination of the black stone and a mix of small transparent gems ranging from dark blue, to lavender in color. The walls are dotted with strange runes which seem to faintly glow. At the far end of the room there is a spiral staircase going up through the ceiling. The walls are lined with many strange instruments, most of which are engraved with the same strange runes as the walls. I walk down the room in-between the rows of strange instruments paying close attention to the variety of test tubes, stands, glass jars, and strange tools laying all around. My eyes lock onto an overturned circle made of a rough, very dark grey cast metal. The small disk makes a clinking noise when I flip it over, indicating that it was in fact made of metal. I turn the object over in my palm to reveal a 4 pointed star with a pale blue-green gem set into the center. The edges of the medallion and rims of the star are decorated with yet more of the runes. I feel around my belt for a minute and find a small burlap pouch clipped onto it, I unclip the small bag and stuff the medallion into it. I clip the pouch back onto my belt and take one last look at the strange room before striding towards the spiral staircase. I take my fist step on the glistening polished black steps and start trotting upwards. I keep a steady pace walking up the spiral steps. All of a sudden a bright greenish slight starts flooding down the stairwell. I turn and walk a few steps down the stairs and cling to the inside column in the stairs. Slowly, I edge over to look around the corner and pull the azure sword out of my belt. There seems to be a small doorway up ahead emitting the blue-green light that suddenly poured into the hall. I step up a few steps and jump into the opening, sword clenched in both hands. "Ahhhhh!" I yell into the small room beyond the black carved stronghold but nothing is there. I slowly take a few slow steps further into the room and around the corner. What I see beyond the curve strikes me with awe.

There is a deep verdant perfectly-cut jewel about the size of a potato sitting atop a light gray stone pedestal. Beyond the small triangular stand holding the crystal onto the pedestal is a small slit in the
jet-black stone allowing the emerald light to seep out. Before I have time to leave the room, I realize that one of the creatures is standing with his back to me in the corner. Realizing its too late to turn back now, I thrust my blade into its back before fit has time to turn around. It screeches and falls to the ground. I backhand the crystalline object off of the stand and watch it explode into dust on the ground.

Before I can get far up the stairs I come across another, this time smaller, doorway coming off the side of the stairs. I peer into the small room and instantly feel compelled to go in. This room is much bigger than the one before it, about thirty-five by thirty-five feet. Inside is massive piles of materials ranging from sand, to large piles of stones, to logs, to rich fragrant dirt. Some of the materials I don't even recognize, like the thick dark brown sand-like substance in the right hand corner of the room. Deciding that the piles of dirt and sand have no use to me, I continue up the long dark spiral staircase. After a few more minutes of sprinting up the stairs, I finally decide to stop because I'm running out of breath. I pant for a few minutes and listen to my own breath. My breathing sounds weird, crackly. But then I hear it, short faint tapping noises. I hold my breath for a few seconds so I can hear it better. The crackling isn't my breath, and neither is the tapping. "Oh no..".

I start back up the stairs faster this time than before. The tapping and crackling is getting closer. I see something up ahead, light. The dull twilight of the strange world outside of the pillar. I drag myself up the last few steps and jump out of the stairwell. I must not of thought this escape out too well because I now realize that I'm on the top of the pillar. I've hit a dead end, theres no where to go now, and I can't turn back. I pear over the edge of the thick column into the grey fog below. Green flashes of light dart back and forth between the towers rapidly now. I  gaze around my shoulder just in time to see four or five of the creatures coming up the stairwell. The creature in the front starts making an odd gurgling sound followed by a wave of his long noodle-like arm. The other three creatures surround me to the edge of the column. My eyes search for something logical to do but find nothing. One of the creatures holds a sword exactly like the one I now hold in front of me. I decide to do the only thing I can do, charge full speed at one of the creatures.

My head plows into the creature's leathery midsection and we both go tumbling across the roof of the pillar. As we slide I start to unsheathe the blade. Before I know it we are both plummeting over the edge of the pillar and into the great billow of grey smoke below. I swipe the blade twice across its chest as its arms flail in the air. I watch its arms and legs quickly disintegrate into smokey powder and then get blown away. I now realize I may have just killed my only chance of surviving this fall. I snatch at the appearing metallic-blue sphere in the chest of the creature. As a final attack the creature flings the remains of its dusty arm at my face, temporarily blinding me. The smooth orb flies out of my grasps and to the ground below as I desperately clutch the dusty mass left in my arms. I close my eyes and prepare for my my demise. A shattering sound rings out in my ears and I feel my back gliding against the rough ground.

I slowly open one of my eyes, pondering if I am dead or not. I see sections of the ivory hills, and the pillars that jut out of the landscape like candles on a birthday cake. The Shattered remains of the opalescent sphere lay at my feet. A cloud of grey and purple dust emanates from the pile of jagged shards. I heave my battle-hardened body to my feet and start running. I run at full speed still pondering how I survived, toward the only thing I see on ground level, the prison. My eagerness to enter the very building I escaped is not highest but It is the only way I see fit to escape this place. Already the beasts are starting to surround me from all corners of this grotesque continent. Only one guard protects the doorway to the giant dark mound of the prison. I charge at him, blade held high. He diverts the slash with his own blade and throws his own slash at me, I deflect his blow and he starts to reel up for another. Before he finishes with his wind up I slap him across the face as hard as I can with the flat of my sword. I am surprised as to how lightweight these things must be as when I hit it crumples to the ground five feet away. I lunge forward, throw open the door and slam it behind me.

"Meh" big writing

"Meh"

"Do i have to go?" My voice sounded sore like an old man's. "Yes, of course!" My mom replied cheerfully. "Why wouldn't you anyway?" where would you like me to start i whispered to myself. I walked into the living room and looked at the clock. 6:47. I sighed at the sight at the clock. I usually play video games at this time but instead i had to go to the community yard sale. The community yard sale was a held twice a year in a big amphitheater in Seaside. You'd call the person who sets up the yard sale and buy a booth for a cheap price, and then you bring all your old junk down and dump on a table and try to sell it to all the people who come there each year. We didn't often set up a booth, usually just going to look at the limited amount of cool stuff that people sell like keys, foreign coins, and old books. My brother wants to go to it every year so he can buy a bunch of stuff he doesn't need. I put on my jacket and get in the car.

 The car is so cold that i cant touch the metal part of the seat belt. When we got to Seaside we had to ride around for 15 minutes to find a parking space before my dad decided to drop us off so he could find a parking space. I started walking around the top tier of the amphitheater. The amphitheater was shaped like a half of a bowl with a stage in the very bottom. there were 4 tiers of booths starting with the first one at the top of the bowl. The first tier had nothing interesting so I made my way to the second. As I rounded the corner to the second tier i passed an elderly lady. The air around the woman smelled of rotten lemons and dust. I started breathing through my mouth and thought to myself about how i wasn't going to go to that booth. There was some cool things on the second tier like a booth set up by a toy store, and a booth selling old books about minerals.

 As i started to round the corner to the third tier, i spotted my mom and my brother up on the first tier. I walked up to them. "What are you doing?"  "Oh just helping your brother decide what he wants to buy, he's trying to decide between this Vanderbilt 46 and this Souther Pacific 464, but he's also interested in the bla bla bla, blabla bla blaba, bla bla" I silently slipped away from my mom and my brother as they turned their backs. I forgot to mention that the only reason my brother wants to come here every year is to see if they have any model trains. I continued on around the corner to the third tier.

 The third tier had a little more stuff then the second tier: a hippie selling some weird carved charms, a middle eastern man selling some cool scarab jewelry made out of turquoise, an elderly lady selling art made out of drift wood, and a lady selling these weird coins that were supposedly American coins that had retired. I wanted to buy one of the little scarab charms from the middle eastern man but i had no money. I went back up to my mom and brother. "I want a snack." I told my mom in an especially whiney voice. "Heres five dollars, go over to Great Southern and get some food." I took the bill and stuffed it into my pocket.

 I went across the street to Great Southern and bought myself a 1.50 sprite. Making sure my mom wasn't around, I took the recite and the change and put it in my back pocket. I walked back down into the amphitheater avoiding my mom. When i reached the scarab stand I looked at the price of the charm. 3.50. I had just enough! I put the money on the table in front of the man and pointed at the charm. The man swiped the money off the table and handed me the charm. I motioned wrapping the charm and he handed me some tissue paper. I wrapped up the charm in the paper and stuffed it deep in my pocket. "Hey, Greyson." I jurked my head around to see my mom cupping her hands around her mouth like a megaphone to yell for me. "Hey, Greyson." She repeated. I thought about responding but instead i just ran to her. As I ran up the hill I noticed that some of the booths were gone. I looked at my wrist hoping that I was wearing a watch, I wasn't. "Come on Greyson, time to go!" "Really!" I responded gleefully. "Yes! you can go home and play video games all you want." I jumped into the car just as the door opened. When we get to the house I run to my computer and open it. 

"Gone" big writing

"me and my friends are going out on our bikes ok, ok?" I asked as I walked out the door. "sure, make sure to wear your helmet though" my dad replied, I shook my head in response. I didn't like my helmet, it looked stupid stuck over my greasy black hair. I grabbed my bike, lifted it down onto the lawn and rid down the street. by the time I was half way to franks house he had already heard my un-oiled bike coming and stood in his lawn. "whats up john" he yelled at me from the sidewalk. "wheres your bike frank, I thought we were biking today?" "my dads fixing the brake, its ok thought, this way I can carry the soccer ball" he said in reply.  he walked aside my bike up the road until we reached Veronica and Hayley's house. I knocked hard on their glass door so they Hayley could hear me upstairs. but instead of Haley, Veronica came stomping down the stairs. you could tell she was goth, her overuse of black eyeliner was evident. at the sight of us she screamed upstairs to her sister. "get down here doofis, you stupid friends are here" veronica said blandly. the thumping of footsteps got louder. Hayley jumped to the ground from a few steps up and grabbed an apple from the table and tossed the door open. "hey guys, where are we going?" she asked as she walked down the patio. "I don't know, why don't we bike through the burnt forest" the burnt forest was a pine forest with no brush whatsoever, and because of that it was easy to bike through. "Ok" they both said in reply.

The burnt forest was bright with light shining through the leaves. they rode their bikes quickly through the forest with frank jogging along side. although frank didn't have a bike he was still fast.
Hayley and me swerved around a burnt log, Frank show off-ingly vaulted over it. "Nice huh" frank chuckled as he glared his white teeth at me "it would be better if you cou...." "watch out John" Hayley screamed "huh?" i managed to get out before i hit the log.

"unnngggg", i managed to open my eyelid only to see Frank and Hayley staring at me. I pushed myself up on my elbows and opened up my eyes. "ung, what happened?" you hit a log and you flew off your bike into a bush" she said softly. i stood up and looked around, we were in a large circle of bushes. the bushes were tall like hedges so i couldn't see over them. "well, lets go" I growled. "where? we're lost, and besides, your bike is broken" frank said in reply. I looked over at my bike only to see that my handlebars were twisted and my gears were cracked. "well lets walk then" I said as I charged the bush. ppppiffff, i ran straight through the bush and landed on the ground. I got up and heard the others land on the ground behind me. "how do we know where to go?" "hhmm? ah ha! i saw this show called "crazy survivor man" and he said to follow the clouds or something like that, so lets try that" "ok" said frank as we started to walk. soon enough we reached a cement path that looked slightly like a sidewalk. "lets follow it" Hayley said. everyone agreed. eventualy we reached a thick wall of trees. "how do we get through" Frank asked. "i'm not sure, lets try to find a hole". when we finally reached a hole we started to crawled through. "oh my gosh!" Hayley yelled when she reached the other side. "what?" "come see for yourself" she replyed. me and Frank crawled through. all of us gasped in surprise. ahead of us, an entire neighborhood lay.... abandoned.

 "Holy cow!" i exclaimed in a less than quiet voice. I was about to cover my mouth but then i remembered that there was no one here. As if by agreement we all walked towards the first building. It was unpainted for the most part and only half of the roof was there, but it did have a floor. As we got closer to the small two story building the air smelled more and more like treated wood and sawdust. The building seemed to be a house, although it was hard to tell due to its current state of incompletion. We got up to the porch of the building and stepped up on to it. Te house seemed to be lacking and plumbing or electrical wiring, it was just a big skeleton. "Why is this here" asked Hayley in a whisper. Of course we have all asked ourself that question but none of us know the answer. "I'm not sure, but there obviously hasn't been anyone here in a while" Frank replied. "I've seen neighborhoods that people don't live in yet, but never a completely abandoned one" I shouted to the roof. Although the first storie's floor was complete, I couldn't say the same for the second. Although there was no light sources in the house, light shined in from the holes in the roof through the second story floor. "Why did they stop?" asked Hayley blandly. "stop what?" I replied. "Stop building, why did they stop building?". "Budget cuts" Frank said interrupting. "If it was budget cuts then why are there still dumpsters here" said Hayley sarcastically. "Let me see" said Franks as he sprinted across the room. "hmmm, that is weird". "Lets go outside and see what else is here" I said, but i was already out the door. I walked over to what seemed to be a fenced in field of grass, but when I got closer I realized that it was actually a large pond covered in thick green algae. I picked up a pinecone on the ground and chunked it into the pond, all the algae around where the pinecone hit floated away to reveal dark brown mucky water underneath. I turned around to discover that Hayley and Frank were standing close behind me looking at the pond. "Its getting dark, we should go" said Hayley worriedly. "Ya, I think you're right". "Do we have to go" said Frank disappointed.

Weekly Diamond: issue #2

P K Yonge Will Be Joining The Tesla Server!

We at the The Weekly Diamond Press have just gotten word that the kids from P K Yonge will be joining the Tesla Minecraft server! It looks like they have joined just as we are getting our new map, which may be good so the kids at P K Yonge can have a chance to get their hands on some land. The addition of a few players may be good for towns or stores because with our previous 21 kids there wasn't much need for stores or towns, everyone just got stuff themselves.
There have been rumors of a "mega city" to built in the jungle after the P K Yonge students join the server. The supposed mega city is going to have a  house for every player, plus a variety of stores and restaurants. Here is what it may look like when done:

My Hobbies draft #2

   One of my favorite hobbies is gaming. I first became interested in computers when I was 9 and I've liked to play video games and use my computer ever since. Allow me to share my favorite games with you.

     One of my favorite games is Minecraft, and I think it is the best of the best. Minecraft is really fun because it allows me to be creative in a place where it doesn't cost money to build giant castles and mansions. Another reason why I think Minecraft is fun is because you can pretty much do anything.  One time it was raining in Minecraft and I was getting bored so I went scuba diving with squids! Minecraft is just an all around fun game that never gets old.

     Another game I like is Spore. Spore is a game based off of evolution. You start off as a cell and you have to evolve your way to the top of the food chain. It allows you to evolve your creature intro whatever you want it to be. One time after my creature evolved wings i went up to the top of a really high mountain and flew all the wary back down to my nest By the end of the game you've colonized dozens of planets and have traveled to the core of the universe at least once. Spore is a really fun game that is even educational!

     Another game I like is Myst. Myst is all about venturing to strange and mysterious worlds. You start off in a place called Relto, and you travel to other world via books in your Relto's bookshelf. I once went to a weird dark world win a cave and had a conversation with an alien call Bahro. You can travel to over 20 different places and solve a countless number of puzzles and codes. It is a fun game to play when you get bored.

     I hope to one day to work in the field go video games handwork for either Cyan or Mojang. Spore, Minecraft, and Myst are just some of the games out there, I hope to find some more awesome games!

Minecraft is really fun because it allows me to be creative in a place where it doesn't cost money to build giant castles and mansions. Another reason why I think Minecraft is fun is because you can pretty much do anything. for example: you can go to the underworld and fight giants, or you can go fishing for chickens. Minecraft is just an all around fun game that never gets old.

3 reasons why to visit India.

3 reasons why i want to go to India!

India would be a very cool place to visit. I have read about the many unique and interesting things in India. the 3 main reasons why i would want to go to india would be the the food, the animals, and the architecture.


Indian food
I am a big fan of Indian food. my favorite indian food is naan bread with mint relish. A lot of the food in india is spicy and i love spicy food. Indian dessert is also really good, one time i had Indian melon gelato
with kiwi slices, it was really good



Indian animals
If you like animals you should go to India. they have so many unique and colorful types of animals in india. The birds in India are especially beautiful, for example, the Indian Peacock (which is also my favorite Indian animal), or the Indian Monk Parakeet.

Indian architecture

there are so many amazing examples of the architecture in india. the most well known is the Taj-Mahal.

India is worth going to just for the architechture alone. The Taj-Mahal is not the only example of amazing architecture in India, my personal favorite is the Golden Temple in Amritsar, India.

Thank you for reading. i hope that this has showed you all the wonderful things that make India worth going to and inspired you and everyone else who reads it to go to India.

     Bridges started out as means to to get from one side of something to another, they are now an art form in their own.

My first example of an amazing bridge is the Si-o-se pol bridge in Iran

    Si-o-se pol is truly amazing. Si-o-se pol means "33" or "bridge of 33 arches". It is a vehicular and a pedestrian bridge meaning that cars and people can go over it. If you happen find yourself there at night you will be amazed at the reflections of the lights bouncing off the water. This is just one of thousands of amazing bridge around the world.

My next example is the Gateshead Millennium Bridge over the river Tyne in England.

     The Gateshead Millennium Bridge is a cyclist and pedestrian tilt bridge. The bridge has earned the nickname "The blinking eye bridge" for the way it tilts. If you find yourself at the bridge at the right time you may be lucky enough to see the bridge tilting upwards to allow small boats to pass through. This bridge is a true sight to see.

My third, and last example is the Rainbow Bridge in Tokyo Japan.

     The rainbow bridge is a links Tokyo with Odaiba. This may seem like a normal bridge by day, but at night you will find yourself in for a surprise. If you are on the bridge at night you will be amazed as the bridge blends with the color of the night sky. If you find yourself in tokyo, this solar-powered bridge is definitely something worth seeing.

     So you've seen some amazing bridges like the Si-o-se pol bridge, the Rainbow Bridge, or the Blinking Eye bridge. I hope to one day be able to see all these amazing bridges.
