Biting Humor

Posted by Zachary Walls in STORY-001 on
​In 9th grade I ended up staying over a friend's house really late working on a benchmark. When April fools rolled around my parents decided to use this in a prank on my grandma. My dad was in the bedroom playing a board game with my sister and my mom was cooking dinner. Grandma was sitting on the couch when my dad called my phone from the bed room. When I answered I began saying the type of lines my parents told me to say.. which were lines along the lines of "are you sure it's mine?" after about 10 minutes of this I hung up the phone and put on the most sullen look I could muster. My mom asked me what was wrong on cue (my grandma's face was unique by this point) and I said I got a girl pregnant. I started crying and when my grandma came over to hug me i whispered april fools in her ear mid hug..... she bit me on my shoulder.

Dreaming

Posted by Emma Connell in STORY-001 on
Last night as I was sleeping I was dreaming I was sleeping. It was so peaceful. I must have been really tired, which doesn't make any sense because I went to bad at 8 last night and 7 the night before. You would think a dream about dreaming would be quite boring....but it was awesome. I never slept so well in my life.  I hope I dream like that tonight.

Dinner

Posted by Freda Anderson in STORY-001 on
Tonight my brother asked me to go out to dinner with him and a group of his friends, most of which I hadn't met. He said I needed to "get out of the house more," that I "needed to see some real people." He is always under the impression that somehow I don't have any friends and that I never hang out with them. He treats me like Adrian from the first Rocky movie, except for that I am nothing like Adrian from the first Rocky movie. I agreed to go with him mostly because I was bored even though I knew I probably wouldn't like it. That was a mistake. I got to the restaurant and all of my brothers friends and my brother talked about a lot of tv shows I had never watched and laughed about a lot of inside jokes I wasn't there to hear in the first place and therefor didn't understand. Mostly I just sat there, and the few times I did talk my brother kept making stupid comments. I thought maybe he was just acting this way in front of his friends, but then later when he took the el with me he still ignored me the whole ride, even though it was just me and him. I tried to make conversation, he addressed all of my questions with one word answers and then went back to being silent. All in all, it was a horrible dinner.

A Sentence/Story

Posted by Rachel Patterson in STORY-001 on
I was once lost in the darkest, most dangerous forest in the entire world, made up of millions of trees, bushes, flowers, insects, and various animals of all shapes, sizes, and colors; I was unable to receive cell phone service to call for help; therefore, I could not escape such a vast and terrifying area...screeches from lingering animals filled my ears as I watched the tree branches sway with the movement of ferocious, blood-thirsty beasts just waiting to capture me and take me to their lairs; my eyes were fixed on the largest tree in the area, one with a giant hole in the trunk, which I assumed to be home to some sort of horrific creature and it's family...I heard noises coming from within the tree that made me shiver with terror, so I quickly ran behind some bushes to hide from whatever was lurking in the black shadows; my mind racing around the idea of being eaten alive...I wondered whether anyone was searching for me and whether or not I would be saved...I was completely unsure if anyone even realized I was missing...I began to think about what weapons I would use to defend myself against any evil apes or tigers that approached me from the jet-black corners of the woods...All I could find were sticks and sharp rocks that seemed like they would serve no purpose when trying to fight off the teeth and claws of a monster.

ACT

Posted by Morgan Craig-Williams in STORY-001 on
So I'm running around the house like a chicken with its head cut off because I need a calculator for the ACT test tomorrow. I also don't have any pencils, I am so unprepared.  On top of all of that, my admission ticket wouldn't print out. Plus I'm getting distracted by Nicki Minaj and Kid Cudi on my playlist. For some reason, I can already feel that tomorrow is going to be a bad day. Hopefully I can get this text done and over with.

Story #5 Story time in the Hospital

Posted by Zachary Walls in STORY-001 on
​We got to the hospital around 11ish and I signed myself in because i was a big boy. my sister got sent to my uncle's house around 11:30. After about 12:30ish we started reading Harry Potter and we continued this up until the x-rays and then while we were waiting for the results. The reason this stuck with me is because everyone in the room (there were quite a few people in the same room just barely separated by curtains) was into and enjoying the book. We were able to read a solid 2 and a half hours of the book and we got legitimate cries of disappointment when we left. At about 3:00 am we left the hospital and I am informed that i rambled inane and random questions on the way to the car about things that made no sense.

Cold

Posted by Emma Connell in STORY-001 on
The other day when I woke up it was cold. When I went to take out the trash it was cold. When I was waiting for my bus it was cold. While waiting for my other bus it was cold. As I walked into school I was still cold. The room where I had my first class was cold. My second class was cold. The school bathroom was cold. The back stairways were cold, actually they're freezing. When I stepped outside of school to go home it was cold. While I was waiting for my bus it was cold. When I was waiting for my other bus it was cold. When I walked in my house it was warm. I like my house.
