The Lightning Hand

Aaron woke up to a familiar sound. Then it stopped. Thinking it was just part of a dream he quickly dozed off. Then it came again. Except for it was more distinct. It was his mother calling for help.”Why would she need help at this time at night?” He yawed and fell asleep.

“Hello, hello. Can anyone hear me?” Aaron’s mother , who was usually very calm, screamed. A strange blue light suddenly filtered into the unfamiliar room making her skin have a bluish tinge.”Ha, Ha, Ha. I look like an alien.” It was true. Randomly that night she had decided to wear her alien Halloween costume to bed. With the mix of blue light and tangled hair she almost did.

“Beep beep, beep beep.” Aaron’s alarm woke him from a troubled sleep. He had dreamed his mom had been calling for help. Humbug. She was probably lazily sleeping in her double bed waiting for him to bring her breakfast.( Which would never happen). Just to check on her, he crept into her room. Only to find she wasn’t there.”Finally, she’s up before 12 o’clock!” He thought to himself. A strange light filled the room and he was gone.

“Sir, we detect humans on our ship.” A pilot trilled. “Just do the protocol. We don’t want to have those dim-witted humans have more a reason to look for aliens.””Yes sir.” and the alien pressed an outrageously huge button on the wall and kept on working.

“Mom, mom, mom.” Aaron exclaimed in a loud whisper.”Aaron, Aaron, Aaron. See how annoying that is.” she yelled in response. “Sorry, I’m just really scared.”, and it was true.

“Sir, the eject button is stuck!””Then I’ll deal with them.” the king of the Alations concluded.”No humans beam their brainless beings onto my spacecraft!” and out of the control room he marched.

“Shh, I hear someone coming”, Aaron’s mother nervously said. It was true a steady marching beat was coming closer. An unseen door opened and squid like things came into the room. Aaron had a mean streak that he usually kept hidden until now. He knew they were after them and he wouldn’t allow it. In a protectful way he positioned his arm, and with the other he attacked. With each powerful whack he yelled words like, “Die, horrid beasts!”, or, “Take that and that!”, until only one remained who quickly scurried off. Because the alien forgot to shut the door, the abducted duo bravely pranced into the guarded hall.

“I can’t believe they got past the airlock guards.” the Alation leader cried, “We’re going to be ruined!””Oh don’t cry.” and the pilot handed a tissue to the king. Soon they’d find out there would be something to cry about.

Since the first battle with the aliens, Aaron was finally scared. He was surrounded by hundreds of guards. Knowing he couldn’t beat the same way as the others, he used his smarts. First he pushed a button that read, “Emergency Alarm.”, then he pulled out an always handy joy-buzzer. Then he set off to work. He called to one of the alien guards to him. Seeing Aaron had no weapons he bravely came forth.”Shake my hand in agreement to my surrender.” thinking proudly of his victory over the human he quickly agreed. As you all know he swiftly received a short and surprising shock, making him jump back.

“Sir, Sir, the emergency alarm has gone off and the guards claim that this human has lightning in his hands!””Cripes, do you know what that means!” The leader cried sending a spray of spit showering over the pilot. “He could destroy the whole fleet and more! Call all the ships back to alation and make sure this mighty human is taken safely back to earth. Then melodramatically the king left the room.

“Mom, we’re free!” Aaron excitedly yelled.”We scared the socks off of those aliens.””More like tentacles.””Ha, ha.Ya.They are even paying us per hour of not telling anyone about them and not invading their planet. We’re going to be rich!” and they were. Quickly, they became billionaires. Toward fame they flew and lived happily ever after.

If you weren't a bee

Huge,

With small beady eyes

Slashing paws,

Deafening cries,

It bounds towards you,

Demanding the treat you have,

You’d give it to him,

If you weren’t a bee.

So you sting him in the nose,

He yelps,

Sending a shower of slobber on you.

Ain’t that gross!

Finally afraid,

He bounds away,

Into a land of better prey.

Don't play soccer with an ogress

We’re going to play this soccer team,

We march onto the field,

Undefeated, we think we are supreme,

Then when we get there,

A monstrous band,

Wakes us from our fantasy land,

Rotting teeth are in her gums,

Oh, by George here she comes!

Swinging fists and clearly wanting to fight,

I run away soaring like a kite,

Then finally she touches the ball,

And with one swing ten of our players fall,

The coach screams to take her down,

But all our team does is frown,

She kicks again,

A few yards from the half way line,

And it makes it in,

All the goalie can do is take that as a sign,

That this game is not going to be fine.

It’s been about a half an hour,

In order to avoid this demons high kicks,

The crowd watches from a tower,

By this time the coach is croaking,

The defense is dead,

Midfielders are massacred,

The forwards are fighting,

And the goalie is dying,

And the crowd is crying,

And she’s still biting,

By the end of the game I think I’ll say,

Don’t play soccer with an ogress or else you’ll pay.

Of a Wave a boogie boarding tale

I face the wave,

My shield in hand,

It comes closer as big as the sky itself,

Like a knight I stand ready for anything,

It looms over me,

Spurts of sea foam spit on my face as if it mocks me,

Then it collapses,

Only leaving a sea of foam,

I laugh,

Glorifying over a fallen opponent,

Of a wave

The Story of the Ferret

Once upon a time in eastern Wales there lived a commoner with a pet ferret. He harvested grapes. Back in the 1600s nobility was key to money. You could work ten times harder and only get half of their paycheck. He was against this and thought every man should be treated equally. There was only one problem. He was scared of horses. Dark creatures with sharp hooves and red eyes. Oh, he shivered thinking about it. His ferret was even more scared than him. He ran from the most distant carriage. Because of this fear they never got to go to town. He payed people to deliver grapes for him. He also couldn’t talk to anyone that could do anything about it. They always rode horses. But he knew he had to do something about it. One day a beggar passed by. He was wearing fancy clothing. The beggar explained that he had once been a successful business man. The nobles had thought because he was so rich he would overpower them. So they shut down his business and left him in the dust. The man becomes so mad that without a second thought he picked up his faithful ferret and trudged all the way to town. When he arrived there he didn’t even grimace when a carriage passed by. He stormed all the way to town hall and bellowed to the Mayor, “No man should be pushed down mainly because someone of greater power is afraid that he would be overtaken. “The mayor only managed a scarce whisper “I agree but what can we do about it?””I propose, “The man exclaimed, “We make a law. This law will saw that if a business man has a business or a farmer has a farm that only debt to the landlord can deprive someone of their land.” the mayor quickly agreed. Right away people received jobs and the man became famous indeed. The queen invited him to tea and Galileo himself named a constellation for him called “the Ferret”. The best thing was that he was no longer afraid of horses. He even owned one! That man was revolutionary still are in debt to the man who was afraid of horses.

Curious George Goes to the candy shop

“George time to get up.” the man with the yellow hat Yelled. George shot up. This was a big day. Wait, what was the big thing?” the candy shop can’t wait!”The man with the yellow hat exclaimed. George hopped into the car and almost drove away! The man with the yellow hat came bursting through the door saying “wow wow wow don’t burn your tail off I’m coming.”

It seemed like hours and hours of driving before they finally arrived at the candy shop. It was huge .It’s windows were as tall as flagpoles and it shone in the sun like silver. The man in the yellow hat was so amazed he only managed to whisper, “I’m going to get some Kit-Kats, here’s some money, and don’t get into trouble.” George didn’t even wait for him to finish his sentence. He was off. He ate through the candy like a worm. He went floor after floor paying for half of what he had eaten. When one of the workers caught him chewing on Swedish fish on the sixteenth floor, he cried out and tore into an office saying, “Manager” on the door. Not wanting to be massacred by him he sped up two flights of multicolored stairs and burst into a gigantic room containing taffy makers. But he didn’t know that. He was curious. He jumped and snatched keys off the wall and bounded towards the mysterious apparatus, unlocked the door and climbed in. By that time the manager had staggered into the room, and boy was he mad. His face was a dark magenta and he yelled “You bad monkey. Look there’s hair in the taffy!” George wasn’t concerned about the obese wolverine standing before him. He was being pulled in a million directions! The manager shut off the machine and the chase was on. Not wanting to become banana cream pie, George launched himself out the window and swung down the over decorated signs all the way onto the ground. When he was on the ground, He found police officers muttering something about a robbery. then he saw a man in black pop out the window and do the same thing George had done but more clumsily. When he landed on the ground he shouted,”Oops!”And a moment later he was in handcuffs. After that was when the real trouble began. The Man with the yellow hat raced out the door with an antagonized manager just behind. The man with the yellow hat was smiling like he had won a million dollars. He said in a choked up voice “We saw what happened. We are so proud.” A man who resembled a weasel stepped up and nervously explained “When the store manager had been looking for George the robber snuck in. “he adjusted his hat then proceeded, “He came into the room just seconds after the manager and took the brunt of his wrath. He was flung out the window and luckily grabbed hold of one of those signs.””But wait!” the man with the yellow hat exclaimed, “What did the robber want.”I was getting to that” the police officer whispered dangerously.”This candy shop has secret recipes. The keys also belong to the safe that holds them. If you hadn’t have taken those keys off the wall it would have been a disaster.” George was enthralled. He had saved the day once again.

My Visit to katerine's house

“Honk, honk.” I raced to the door. My friend was here to pick me up and bring me to her house! I threw myself into their gray car, but when I touched the door handle I found out it was a white car just covered with a mixture of rotting bugs and dust. Disgusted I sat down only to find that cockroaches had taken that seat. I jumped into the back and tried to ignore the smell of puke engulfing me. By the time I was at Katherine’s I’d wished I had stayed home. Then I looked at her house. It was a sickly shade of green that only could be caused by mold. It stunk like a trash heap and with the mixture of weeds and rusty gardening tools lying about I wasn’t sure how anyone could live there. Katherine’s mother cried out in a scratchy voice like nails on a chalkboard “Come on in.” Grimacing I climbed up the steps of the porch each one screeching. I reached for the door handle one hand on my nose and opened the door. On the other side there stood my clean and well groomed friend. When I looked around she looked like black on white. It was trashed. Old cheesecake hung from the ceiling and the contents of the fridge were out and rotting. My nose was used to smelly (thanks to my brother) but this was worse. I ran up the stairs, but when I put my hand on the rail I found gum blackened with age clinging to a dusty rail. I galloped into a room that was clean as a whistle. Clearly this was my friend’s room. Katherine strode into the room looking as disgusted as I did. We laughed. Katherine gasped “I’m going to warn you the pool’s dirty, but if you want to you can hop on in.” Wanting to become sanitary again I threw on my pink and blue swimsuit and flew out the screen door into the pool area. The pool was literally a trash can. The water was a brownish green from dirt and algae. Dead bugs, lizards and gophers floated. From what my nose was telling me I could have sworn I was being smothered by a million fish heads. Politely I stammered “I-I think I’d rather play in your room please.”

After hours of playing my mom picked me up. That day I promised myself that I would only have play dates at my house.
