The Ghost of Summer
I'll never forget the day my best friend Luke was murdered. It was the summer of 1994. We were 12 years old and we thought we knew everything. We were never more wrong. We definitely never knew what was in store for us on this hot July day. The day started like any other. Daniel, Jacob, Luke, and myself got together to hang out. We rode our bikes to our tree fort and laughed and made jokes for hours that morning. It was when Daniel asked, "Does anyone want to see a dead body?"

Captain Rydian of the Human Galactic Unit
Chapter 3 I paced the command center of the ship. Alphonse and Vanessa watched. I was once again in brown clothes, though now I wore my red neckerchief. I figured the more klitons ask about it, the more I can tell about being colorblind, and the more the term will spread around. I was hoping that if the term spread out enough, there would be less suspicion.

The Ghost King
“Do you fear death?” I was asked this while I stared a single little jellyfish this massive tank which towered over me. Why was I here? The room was dim yet lit up enough from the neon lights at the base of the tank. The tank was large slab built into the concrete wall, standing at least seven feet tall and 8 foot wide. Obviously, it was the eye catcher of the room. My fingers were painfully tangled around each other the longer the question hovered unanswered. Why the hell was I here? My eyes fell closed when I heard glass gently clinked on glass, suddenly feeling an uninviting presence next to my right shoulder. It wasn’t the warmth that wasn’t, but exactly who is was that was uninviting. I reopened my eyes when he calmly cleared his throat and voice came smooth. “Beautiful, isn’t it?”

CHOCOLATE BIRTHDAY CAKE
"...So, this is going to be for MY party; and it HAS TO BE 'epic'!" Cassie Cline glanced across the lunch table at Catie Caron and Dana Bragg. The trio of ten year olds (with Cassie being the one about to turn eleven) were at their exclusive table in the cafeteria. Even at ten years old, Cassie thought that she deserved the notoriety of such exclusivity.
