PART 1 THE PLAN
Tuesday March 14th 2023 10:14 There was 13 cars being delivered to a dealership for a test race on friday: They were: Lamborghini Huracan Performante & Spyder($308,059), Ford Gt($453,750), Ferrari 812 Superfast($315,000), Rolls Royce Phantom($420,325), Bentley Mulsane($307,795), Rolls Royce Dawn($343,875), McLaren Senna($837,000), Lamborghini Aventador($402,995), Pagani Huayra($1,070,500), Koesnigegg Regera,($1,900,000) Bugatti Chiron($2,998,000) Lamborghnin Avenador & LP750 4SV($530,075), Mercedes AMG GT Roadster GT S($113,395). The total money in that is 10,001,370 dollars. And that is a lot of money. And people like money. So it shouldn’t be a surprise that they get stolen. And a car gang of stealing would be exactly the type of people to do something like that. Crusher: “Someone will need to take the Ford. Oliver, you up for it?”
Oliver: “I could. Not much of a ford driver, but I’ll do it. Dragon and Finn, can you train in Darkness on how to drive that truck?” Finn: “I can until Thursday. That’s the day I upgrade those cars. Dragon?” Dragon: “Yes. I am free all day tomorrow and Wednesday. Thursday I will finish projects on my house. Darkness?” Darkness: “I am free tomorrow and until 12:00 Wednesday And Nitrous what happened to your car???” Nitrous: “Well I was drag racing and the tires blew out. It spun and it the wall and flipped over. Hunter was racing me and that didn’t go good for him either. He used his new nissan. That was the only race he won.” Hunter: “I am just frustrated that I crashed my camearo. But I will get a car with a couple million with the mission.” Oliver: “Speaking of, we need to talk about the plan.”
Friday March 17th 2023 11:58
AM
Finn: “Everybody
ready?”
Oliver: “I am.” Nitrous:
“Me too.”
Dragon:
“Same”
Darkness: “Little shaky about the truck, But thinking about the money
takes my mind of that.”
Hunter: “I’m Ready.”
Crusher:
“Lets get That money.”
Oliver Turned down the cameras and Dragon, Darkness, Hunter, and
Finn(with Oliver) left. Hunter and Nitrous left to distract the cops. Dragon
loaded 2 cars. Oliver loaded 2 cars then drove the ford. Finn loaded 2 cars.
Darkness loaded 2 cars. They all left. There was a police roadblock but the trucks
smashed all the police cars. They dropped the cars off. Hunter said he saw a
bunch of good sports cars and Nitrous found a SUV and a truck. So Darkness,
Nitrous, and Oliver got into Smashers truck and Hunter and Finn got into
Dragons truck. Hunter took a Jeep gladiator, Finn found a Dodge durango,
Darkness found a Challenger, Oliver found a Charger, Nitrous found a mustang.
There was cops but the cars lost them and the trucks took an exit and took
quick turns. They got back to the hideout. Later that day… Oliver: “I have been
crunching numbers and after we all of are cars we will have 2M each! Including
the cars we first had, and everything we used for this robbery. Either 1.8M if
we burn them up or 2M if we sell them.” Everybody:
“Sell!!”
Oliver:
“It is decided then. 2M For each!!!”
Everyone: “HORRAY!!!’
SEMI HEIST S01E02

April 5th 2023 12:24 pm
Oliver: “We have a new member coming today, his name is
Jackson. I have notified him about our robbery plan. The semis carrying those
cars with the money. There is 5 cars, so we can load one more. Darkness, Can
you bring Jackson and Dragon to the place with your truck? Then you will get
the other backup truck.”
Darkness: “Sure, But what do you mean “Other”?”
Finn: “I have it. Oliver gave me a job of searching the city for cars
and I found a couple. So he will give me the Colorado.” Oliver:
“That’s what I wanted to talk about. Hunter will go into the city and watch
those cars and update us if better cars come or if the current cars leave. He
gets the mustang. Here comes Jackson!”
Jackson arrived in a big rig. Jackson:
“What’s going on? Anything new? Did you get my text?”
Oliver: “Yes I did, now you will be driving that semi. To get there, you
will be riding in Darkness’ truck with Dragon. When you get there you will load
Darkness into the truck with 2 cars. Finn, Nitrous, Hunter and Crusher, you
guys will grab those cars Hunter found.”
Hunter: “About that, I put the 3 that I first found in to my secret
garage.” Oliver:
“Brilliant! I should’ve thought of that. Crusher, drop off Nitrous if he fines
a car he likes. Then go to the secret garage and have Finn and Hunter grab 2
cars, and I will take it out of the garage then Crusher park your van in the
garage and get into my car and I will find a car you like and you take it back
to the hideout.”
Hunter: “Got it.”
Crusher:
“Ok’.
Oliver:
“This should work. Everything is not too hard. Our next mission is a different
story. But were not there yet.”
Jackson: “What’s are next mission?”
Oliver: “I will tell you after this mission. For now let’s
focus on our current mission. But it’s nice to have something to look forward
to.
Tuesday April 8th 2023 12:30
Oliver: “Darkness, are you in place?”
Darkness: “Yes I am.”
Oliver: “Alright then. Lets go. Crusher, bring the van to the
garage.” The cars were all there. Oliver: “Finn, take that one. Hunter, Take
the left one. Crusher, bring the van into the garage and get in to this car.
Your driving.”
Crusher: “Alright!”
Oliver: “Down the highway is a 2 RVs, I’ll call hunter down
here. Hunter and Jackson, can you come down here?”
Jackson: “Sure, I can do that. I’ll be on my way once I tell
Hunter.”
Finn: “I found a rolls royce Phantom 2009 or 2010 phantom, I
left my other car behind. Nitrous go
with Jackson and Hunter to pick up my car.”
Nitrous: “Sure thing.”
Oliver: “Cops are almost here, I hear sirens everywhere.”
Jackson: “We just left,
can you bring the car to the parking lot?”
Oliver: Sure thing. Darkness, can you come with your upgraded
truck to help us? Cops might recognize us. Jackson, How far away are you?”
Jackson: “1.5 miles at
65mph.”
Oliver: “Don’t wreck
your selves.”
Dragon: “I am have a mile away, I will be there very soon.”
Oliver: “Guys? We are cornered by cops, much needed right now.
Dragon where are you?”
Dragon smashed into the cops. Dragon: “Does that answer you
question?
Oliver: “Yeah, Pretty Much. You can go back to the hideout.
Jackson, Is that you?
Jackson: Yep we are all set now. Nitrous, Where are you?
Nitrous: “I’m Almost
back. We have a successful robbery.”
Oliver: “Yes we did. That’s how it’s done, right there.”
Later that evening…
Oliver: “The reason I had you steal the RV’s is not because we want to sell
them, we will use them. Our next mission is overseas in Italy!!! And if all
goes planned, we will have a couple million each! Group 1 is Jackson, Crusher,
Nitrous, and Dragon. Group 2 is Hunter, Finn, Me, and Darkness. We will leave
in the morning. Leave the cars here.
ITALIAN MOB S01E03
Tuesday April
22nd, 2023 7:46PM
When the RVs arrived in Italy they went to the condo they were
renting. There was semis there. Those were the semis they were using. Oliver:
“This is not an easy mission. I would be shocked if we made this entire mission
without getting anybody getting arrested and getting all of the cars on that
boat. DON’T WRECK THE TRUCKS, these are rentals. The guy will pick them up next
to the boat.”
Hunter: “Who will be driving the trucks?
Oliver: “Jackson, Darkness, Dragon, Finn, and Hunter. Are you
trained Hunter?”
Hunter: “Yes I’m trained, But not too good. I can do it
though. What is the loading process thingy you talked about?”
Oliver: “Oh yes. Truck drivers Load 2 into their own truck
Then get in your truck. One of the car drivers will load one into a truck. All
you guys Do that. I will grab the bugatti in back of it. For now lets go to a
restaurant then 2 people from each group go inside to sleep in the rooms and
the other 2 in the campers. Let’s Get ready for tomorrow. The people who own
the cars are trying to take over our hidouts and cars. Some of the cars we are
stealing use to be our cars, but they stole them. Time for some pay back.
Wednesday April 23 2023 11: 55.
Oliver: “Are
we ready?”
Jackson: “Trucks are ready.”
Oliver: “Time to take back what was ours. GO!”
The trucks loaded 2 cars then got in the drivers seat. The car
drivers loaded 2 then took 1 and went to the boat. Oliver went to the back of
the place and found the golden bugatti. He drove off last. All the cars and
trucks got on to the boat. Oliver saw cops AND the security of the place come
after them. Nitrous and Hunter and Jackson went back to the condo and got the
RVs. They got to the boat with no damage. The semis wrecked the security of the
place and Hunter and Darkness got the upgraded ram and chevy colorado to stop
the police. Then they all got on the boat and drove off. When they got to the
U.S. there was 6 trucks to load all of the cars. Oliver: “Crusher, you will
drive the last truck.”
They all got in the trucks. The security cars were all around
them and the trucks had trouble getting rid of them and the cops.
Oliver: “Let’s try to take different routes. Finn, take the
shortcut, Darkness take the long way, Dragon stay on this road, Hunter take the
other shortcut, Jackson take the Turn up here then go straight to the hideout,
Crusher, Go with Darkness. There is tanks with a roadblock where we usually go
Finn. We need to go around it.”
Oliver was the passenger with Finn and Nitrous was Hunter’s.
They all got to the hideout, within the same 5 minutes, expect for Oliver and
Finn, who had gotten trapped. They went through the roadblock but the truck got
stuck.Nitrous and Hunter were right behind them, so Nitrous took one of the
cars, and Finn and Oliver took the other 2. Nitrous got back 30 min before
Oliver and Finn because Oliver and Finn had cops on them too close to the
hideout. They lost the cops 30 minutes later, and went back.
Oliver: “They had trackers on the bugatti, but we removed them
when the truck crashed. They’ll never find us now. I will take the golden
bugatti in exchange for my other bugatti and 2.5 Million dollars.”
???: “Should we attack them or join them? They are more
powerful than us, and they aren’t going anywhere.”
???: “Nightmare, we should join them, because they could help
us take care of the other gang.”
Nightmare: “Hacker, your probably right, we don’t need 2
enemies. You tell the rest of the gang. But let’s rob that bank Sunday First.
Boss wants us to join that gang, too.”
ISABELL SIDESS
Witness interview’s:
Isabell claimed she saw the truck crash. She said she saw kid and 1 adult hop out of the truck. She
thinks the kid is a 5th grader. After that
a 2nd truck appeared. 1 adult hoped out of the truck. They took 3 cars
and drove away. Those same cars were stolen from Italy 1 day ago. They could definitely
could be robbed by the same people. No clues have been found. Athorities are
still tryng to figure out how a kid can drive a car.

Hacker: “Hello is your name Oliver?”
Oliver: “Yes, are you the boss of the other gang?”
Hacker: “No, I am a Co-Leader kind of thing. Our leader is
robbing the bank and our boss should be here any minute now. Oh he’s right
there.”
Boss: “Is your name Oliver??? Are you the leader or is this
some kind of prank.”
Oliver: “No, I’m the leader. I told my gang to not go for the
bank since you guys are doing it.”
Hacker: “Where are they? Oh here comes The leader.”
Oliver: “Inside, not sure what there doing. Playing games,
watching TV, eating breakfast, That sort of thing.
Guys! Their here!!!”
Dragon: “Uh…Hi?”
Nitrous/Nightmare: “It’s you!!!”
Oliver: “Wait, Nitrous, what’s going on with him?”
Nitrous: “We used to be in the same gang together. Another
gang came and attempted to kill everybody but failed. The gang fell apart after
that. 2 of them were brothers and ran
away to an Island, another 2 stole a Big truck and a fancy car and ran away,
One person got killed, One girl ran away from me and I thought Nightmare got
killed. What happened to you?”
Nightmare: “I found that girls car and drove it away and got
shot by that gang. I went unconscious and got transfered to the ER. I survived,
and Stole a big Semi with a porsche and put my 2 trucks in there and drove off.
I found This gang 2 months ago and have been there leader ever since. Nitrous,
what happened to you?”
Nitrous: “They captured me and took me to their jail. I
escaped, and stole one of their cars. They chased me and crashed me and my car
on fire. I escaped, took a charger, and acted like a normal driver. I sold the
charger, took the money and everything from my house and left. I put explosions
in their lab and killed them all. One person survived and came after me. They
crashed their car caught on fire exploded and ended up in the lake, dead.”
Nightmare: “The girl wondered what happened to her car. She
still survived. She got a new car and lives near the station. She was mad her
car got stolen and crashed but she would be happy to know your alive. She knows
I’m alive and the guy who joined the gang got killed. The truck and audi guys
ran off to different state. The brothers went to some Island. I want to get
that gang back together with us. We need max potential for 2 other gangs.”
Dragon: “1. I was in the gang that was against you guys. 2 Ran off as a couple,
2 ended up in 5 years jail, Our leader quit, and 2 ran off to an Island. For
about a month or so I did the jobs single-handedly but then I threw in the
towel and joined you guys.” Oliver: Well Nitrous and Nightmare is it? You can
work on getting your gang back.” Boss: “I’m also in charge of that. Maybe
Oliver you could work with me on that?” Oliver: “Yes I could. Let’s join gangs
and Nitrous and Nightmare will get their gang back together but with ours.”
Saturday April 26th 2023 12:42
Nightmare: “The girl is back, and like everybody else, she
wants to change her name.”
Boss: “To what?”
Nightmare: “To queen.”
Boss: “I guess that works. Where is Nitrous?”
Nightmare: “With the Brothers. Xaiver and Horns. They will
come back tommorrow. Do you know where Oliver is?”
Boss: “He should be right inside. Playing the tournament of
his baseball game for $500. He already is guaranteed $1000. He probably will
spend it all on gas for his car.”
*LAUGHTER*
Nightmare: Oh, man, haha! I mean he does have that golden
bugatti car, so I wouldn’t be that shocked.”
Oliver: “What just happened out here, you laughing at how ugly
those ‘plants’ are?”
*LAUGHTER*
Nightmare: “No about your tournament and what you were Going
to buy with the money.
Boss: “So far since I have known you, you haven’t been all
that gassy.
*LAUGHTER*
Jackson: “Can you guys keep it down? I’m having trouble
upgrading the cars.”
Nightmare: “If you knew what we were talking about, you would
have second thoughts.”
Jackson: “Like spending all the money Oliver just got on gas?
That makes sense.”
*LAUGHTER*
Oliver: “We laugh way to much.”
Boss: “Well don’t plan on setting limits on that.”
*LAUGHTER*
Monday April 28th 2023 12:00
Boss: “Next time I get to have fun. In the meantime, GO!!!”
Nightmare blocked off the lane for the other gang. They took a
different route. Horns and Xavier blocked off there other lane. They turned
down the road and halted To Dragon and Flatteners semi’s. Rebel, Queen,
Crusher, and Darkness blocked all their lanes so they were trapped. Darkness:
“Please get out of the car and we will put our weapons aside. We mean no harm
for you.”
The drivers stepped out of their cars.
Darkness: “Our boss and leaders want to talk to you.”
Boss: “Hello I’m the boss. We see what you have done and we
want to add you to our gang. Your little gang is getting stronger and stronger
and we want you to be up here with the big gangs. Tank and Boost, is it? Good
choice of names. The rest of your gang can join us too. We can help against
your enemies, because those are our enemies too.”
Tank: “Well we just added more enemies.”
He tried going through the small gap between buildings but
Oliver had put a 5 foot wall up there. Dragon: “Well this is bad for you guys.
It just stinks that nobody can run from us… But you made the mistake of trying
doing it. Flattener, you have a chance live up to your name.”
Flattener:
Flattener Flattened their cars, put them the trailer and drove
to the police station. Ordered them to get in the car with no engine, taped the
doors shut and put the car in front of the station and drove off. The police
found them and arrested them.
Later that night… Oliver: That was a suseccful mission!”
Boss: “Yeah! Now they won’t have there top 2 guys for 15
years!”
Oliver: “We have to take care of the other guys though. We
have to put them in jail in the next week otherwise they can break them out.”
Boss: “We have a plan and it envoles everyone. Hacker is
coming back!”
Hacker: “Hi guys! This is Nathan and Shaker!”
Nathan/Shaker: “Nightmare! Your alive!!!”
Nightmare: “Yes, this is me.”
Nitrous: “The other group is all dead but so is the guy we
started off with.”
Nightmare: The other gang we went after fell apart too, and
one of those guys is with us.”
Shaker: “Who?”
Oliver: “The truck driver,”
Shaker/Dragon: “It’s you!”
Shaker: “Wait, your a kid. You don’t drive cars. Who’s dad
took him here?”
Nitrous: “No he drives cars, and he is the boss. Nobody here
is related to him. He has the golden bugatti.”
Shaker/Nathan/Flattner/Queen/Rebel: “WHAT!?!??!?”
Boss It’s true. Show them what you got.”
Oliver started drifting around in the golden bugatti.

A Night Lost In The North Woods by Fern 16 (Please Identify Yourself -- you forgot to put "by NAME or INITIALS" on your MANUSCRIPT! on 6/30/2023)
I flashed my flashlight down at the ground, making sure when I sat I wouldn't be met with the stinging fury of fire ants on my butt. After a thorough inspection of the ground underfoot I sat down, fear seeping into my veins.
How did I even let this happen?Why did I try to be cool by hanging out with the popular kids in the first place? I ask myself, I told my mom I’d be back at nine and now its–
I looked at the dark black sky.
Well, probably not nine.
I shiver–it's cold in the woods. I take the coat that I wrapped around my waist and slip it on. I guess you're probably wondering how I got here and you know what–I'm not gonna answer that yet because I'm quite embarrassed about it myself, (and I don't feel like being cliche today)
I'm about to completely give up on ever finding my house when I hear a whimper from the shadows. I jolt up and flash my flashlight in the noise direction.
But I'm only met with silence. Well, besides the chitter chatter of various bugs.
I squeeze the moss beneath me, trying to stop my hands from shaking. It feels like I'm trying to tell a snowman that's melting he's not melting, (weird metaphor, right?)
What was that noise though? I wonder. What if it was a wolf, whimpering because it's hungry?
Another whimper, louder than the first one echoes through the woods.
I practically throw up my green eggs and ham right then and there.
The whimpers come repeatedly. Each one is more high pitched than the last. I try to cover my ears and ignore the noise but can't.
I gulp. There's two things I can do: one, I could stay in my huddled nervous state and wait for the noise to go away or two, I could investigate. The ideas teetered in my head for a while before I mustered up the courage to go investigate. After all, I'd made it this far.
I sit up and creep towards the sound– I run into a small bush. Immediately I heard the creature inside start barking, but they sounded more like terror rather than anger. I lift up the bush and find..
A dog. Not some angry wolf proclaiming dominance over the forest or a fox preying on a tasty snack. Surprised, my eyes widened and I reached out to pet the dog. She layed sideways and watched me curiously.
She's a sweet fellow, with glossy black eyes and patchy gray-blue fur. She doesn't even growl once she sees me, doesn't even try to run away. Her hind legs appear to be crippled, which explains why she didn't get up though I'd like to think she stayed because she trusts me.
Who would leave such a sweet dog in the middle of nowhere? I wonder, anger bubbling in my chest, did they hurt the dog? Did they put the dog here because she was unable to walk?
I shuddered at the thought, realizing people actually do that, but why?
Probably the same reason the popular kids left me here. I thought, my shoulders slumping. Because I can't fit into their standards.
The reality hits me like a freight train, and it shouldn't. I already knew this long ago and this was just another painful reminder.
I look side to side. I can't just leave the dog here to rot like wood. I had to save it. I couldn't give up.
Without a moment to waste I hoisted the dog up on my shoulders. I nearly threw the dog in the air, the dog was shockingly light.
The whole time the dog remained quiet, not even a protest coming from her.
“I'm getting you out of here,” I whispered, “now come on, let's go.”
We journeyed for what felt like hours through streams, dense thrush and thorny brambles when I finally saw something: it was a bright light. I honestly hoped I wasn't seeing things or ascending to the above.
I sent a mini thank you prayer to heaven and burst through the thickets. I was met with a fast food joint, thank god.
“CRUSTYS BURGERS AND FRIES” it read. By this point I was too exhausted to even care about where I was going.
It was a shoebox shaped house with a pointed roof and a green and white theme. Some of the paint was chipping at the edges, revealing the goldish brown color of old wood underneath. They had a rug that said, “welcome.” and the building smelled rather of waffles than burgers.
When I was in the fast food joint, the lady at the counter's brown eyes widened in shock.
“Honey!” she said, “you look like you got hit by a woodland tornado is everything alright?”
Then the manager realized the dog, “hey! No dogs allowed in the restaurant, for goodness sake did you read the sign?” he shouted.
I wanted to disappear then and there. No one has ever called me out like that. I felt the panic attack creeping up on me just like a snake slowly circling around one's throat. Despite how irrational it sounded it felt real and knowing it was irrational made it worse.
The lady raised her brow, “So are you going to move or not?”
“Y-yes I'm sorry ma’am. I just need-need your–,”
Stop trembling…I thought, just finish your sentence. Compared to what's happened to you in the past four hours this is extremely small.
I took a deep breath and squared my shoulders. It felt like all those expensive therapy lessons mom paid for finally taught me something.
Emphasize on the word kinda.
“I need your help,'' I started, " I got lost in the woods when I was hanging out with my friends. I wasn't able to get home, so..I went here.”
“What about the mutt?” the lady said, pushing up her classes indignantly.
“Th-the dog was something I found on the way.” I finished, nearly turning to jello when I finished my sentence.
For a second the lady was quiet, then she spoke, “MARK!”
“What is it, Prisha?” Said someone from inside the kitchen, “I'm washing dishes!”
“We have a child and her dog who need help. Can you please assist them? I'm not good with kids and stuff.”
Within the next three hours many, many things happened.
For starters we called my mom and gave her the burger place's address. When my mom arrived we hugged for a good 5 minutes straight, some tears and smiles creeping their way through that time. Then came the backlash.
“You are never allowed to leave the house!” she said, looking me in the eyes. Frankly, I agreed with her. After this eventful night I never wanted to see the woods again.
“Thank you so much for calling me.” my mom said, “I was almost going to call the police.”
“No problem,” Mark said. He ruffled through his curly black hair, “it's kind of my job besides, well, washing dishes.”
“MARK!” yelled the woman whose name was Prisha, “You better get back to scrubbing!”
Mark chuckled a little, “well you better be on your way. Have a good night!”
The second thing that happened was dropping the dog off at the shelter. It was sad saying goodbye to such a sweetie but I knew she was in the right hands.
“Goodbye friend.” I whispered, kissing her on the forehead, “I'll miss you.”
The dog gave me a slobbery goodbye kiss. Then my mom plucked her out of the car. I watched them waddle into the shelter–and disappear behind closed doors.
The last thing I recall from that night was listening to the late night radio with my mom and slowly drifting off to sleep, reconciling all that happened tonight.
I conquered my fears. Learned how strong I was inside and mostly..learned how to channel my inner courage.

The Vengeance of Korren by BE
Korren tried to forget his parents and focus on his own survival but it was difficult for him. He had watched his parents vanish into the wild and his revenge would make the soldiers wish they had never been born…
Perched in trees above the soldier, Korren tried to keep from laughing. “And when I find you, your death will be long!” the soldier panted.
A sheriff appeared and tied a wanted poster to a tree. Korren waited until was alone to gracefully descend the oak tree and cut the poster down. He tore the poster to shreds before he silently vanished into the thicket.
At 5:00 the next morning, it was raining. Korren shivered as the trees rustled. He was grateful that he had time to find shelter. The lightning had forced him to descend from the treetops and on the ground, he knew he was helpless.
He took refuge in a tangle of buckthorn to reduce the chances of being found, but the searchers must have had given up due to the dreary conditions. Korren watched in dismal silence as his clothing began dripping water. The campfire had long gone out. Korren mixed the ashes with a stick. He spotted another wanted poster and picked up his bow. Five seconds later, an arrow sliced through the air and cut the thin string from fifty feet away in the bramble. The poster fluttered to the ground and he grinned as he watched it dissolve in the rain.
Korren’s supplies were running low and he couldn't live on deer. The towns folk were probably sleeping and the guards were likely to be avoiding the rain. He could use the conditions to his advantage.
Korren carefully picked his way out of the buckthorn thicket he had camped in. His footsteps were washed away by the torrents of water and so was the extinguished campfire. All he left behind was one long slender arrow sticking out of a tree in the bramble.
By an old flickering street lamp a guard stood. Or rather snored under a ledge. And above the snoring guard was a slim, agile figure. Korren slipped his hand into the sleeping guard’s pocket and withdrew his loot. Fifteen dollars and a sleek ivory knife. In the next pocket there was nothing but pocket lint. Korren handcuffed the guard with the handcuffs he had found. By the end of his visit to town, he had collected : Two knives, 135$, a flashlight, paracord, matches, and food. He climbed to the roofs and then Korren was gone. Out of the town and into the trees.
The rain had stopped and the townspeople were rioting. Korren knew that they had woken to find their guards stripped of supplies and chained to fence posts or streetlamps.
“That outlaw sure caused a lot of trouble last night.” said a child’s voice below him. Korren looked down. A small girl and boy were walking through the edge of the woods carrying a wicker basket. The children had dark brown hair and darker brown hiking sticks.
“I bet we could fight him!” said the boy.
“No way,” said the other child, “Mom didn't even want us to come near the woods!”
“But how else would we find our acorns?” said the boy.
Korren hung his weapons in the tree. He picked up a stick and dropped to the ground in front of the boy. The boy backed up and then raised his hiking stick,
“Whoa! How did you do that?” he asked.
“Magic,” Korren smiled. “It’s a secret!”
“Teach me NOW!!!” said the girl while the boy brandished his stick threateningly.
“Is that your wand?” the boy asked.
“Here,” said Korren, "let me show you how I use it.” and vanished.
Korren climbed the oak tree and quickly leaped from branch to branch with the stick, knocking down acorns on the children.
“He made it rain acorns for us!” said the girl.
“I did,” said Korren, standing about a foot behind the child. “Did you like it?”
Then Korren collected his weapons and leapt through the canopy into the deepest parts of the woods.
-------------------------
That afternoon was warm and sunny. The air smelled musky, like dirt and grass. A slight breeze kept the mosquitoes away and the soldiers' search efforts intensified. Korren was forced to retreat deeper and deeper into the forest and he knew that he could not hide forever in these woods.
But he had plans. He intended to move northwest and find a forest too large to be mapped. Korren wanted to stay safe in the canopy as long as he could.
So he organized his supplies and dried his equipment in the sun. The next morning he would leave this town in chaos. Korren moved logs and dug pits. He stole ropes and gloves and he set up an exit that the town would never forget… Then he found a tall tree in the middle of the woods, surrounded by thorns and he slept.
The guard tower began to clang. Guards and officers and soldiers poured out of the town and thundered towards the trees in a cloud of dust. A lone figure stood on a rock in front of them. The dust cloud grew nearer and nearer and then stopped…
Korren was gone. The group charged into the woods firing arrows and bullets at random through the trees. They would burn the woods to the ground if it meant killing Korren.
Korren watched calmly as they chased the straw dummy into the woods. He knew that few of the soldiers would come back out. The traps he had set would ensnare them, drive them mad searching for him while he stripped the empty town of all its riches.
He climbed into the town on the rooftops and raced towards the town square.
He broke windows and tipped garbage cans, stole vases then smashed them in the streets. Korren left the town looking similar to a garbage dump. And he never looked back.
When he reached the town square Korren laid the sack of gunpowder by the fountain. He grabbed a match and lit the bag, and then he sprinted as fast as he could out of the ruined town’s square. BOOM!!! Behind him, the guard towers stopped ringing. Chunks of rock and wood smashed holes in walls surrounding the square. The air filled with dust. By the outer edges of the town, garbage and glass covered the ground. Korren climbed the church's spire. Gazing upon the ruins, he ripped the silver cross off the top of the spire. He knew all the townspeople had been locked in the bomb shelter when the bells started to ring. But the silenced bells would draw them back out.
Korren threw the cross to the ground and jogged through the dust, out of the town and into their legends, for the last time.
A FEW DIFFERENT PIECES by VT
school is happy
It’s where you make friends
And fill up your belly
I don’t know what i’d do
Without school, it helps me
Live, learn, & laugh
My favorite subject is math
What about you
Is it reading, science,
Any 2 level + buildings in Plymouth or Maple Grove, beware! Your top floors will turn into trampolines! We know this because: a kid was walking, and out of nowhere he got bounced really high and his head hit the ceiling! If you have 2 or more floors in your house, please don’t go on your highest floor until we stop the trampoline attack. Attics don’t count as the top floor.
The walking computers are still on the loose, yes I said computers, not computer. There have been more cases of walking computers, such as the one at Billy’s house & many others.
So please if you have a computer please lock it up.
Even if it isn't from smart computers, we can't trust computers anymore. The computer revolution will possibly spread to phones, ipads and other devices too.
Now to learn more about this incident we will interview Vihaan
“Hi Vihaan” Bob said
“Hi… Bob” Vihaan said
“Hey don’t read my name tag, my real name is Bobby. Anyway let's get this interview started. First question: what do you feel about this… incident?” Bobby asked
“I feel a little weird that whales are walking on land.”Vihaan said
“Okay, second question, how do you think we can put these whales back in the water?” Bobby asked
“Definitely build the strongest crane ever and then put the whales in the water!” Vihaan blurted out
“I was going to ask you a third question but I think we should stop the interview.” Bobby stated
“ Bye Bob.” Vihaan said gleefully
“ It’s Bobby!” Bobby replied angrily
That was the weirdest interview ever, but try not to get crushed by a giant tail.
Everybody has seen a pencil before, but they haven’t seen a mutant pencil! These pencils are buff, Very pointy, and alive!
These pencils are getting revenge on humans for scratching them on paper, bouncing them around, and hitting them on the table! So don’t use pencils or pens for that matter because they might come alive too! Don’t use computers either because we still haven’t stopped them from growing bodies so no writing or typing.
Your household pencil sharpeners have turned against you, They have turned into pencil dulleners! your pencils won’t be sharpened they will be dullened! Whoever made these “sharpeners” shall be sued! So don’t use “sharpeners” anymore.
Just buy more pencils, it won’t make you go crazy. Relax, pencil sharpeners won’t be real anymore, no biggie!
Your modern day cars need fuel otherwise they will stop, right? Not any more, now the less fuel people have, the better! So don’t fill up fuel! If you have no fuel, you will be driving without filling up fuel! It is amazing!
