Is She Real or Not?

Author’s note: I have had so many fun times with my cousins extremely my cousin named Kimmy.


My cousin and I were really good friends we used to hang out a lot. Even though she lived in Brookfield so we went to different schools. When we would have family events we would always just talk to each other. I felt like she was the reason why I enjoyed going to those family events. Then she had to move to California, and we don’t talk  that much anymore. Although I did go to California and to visit her, we went to the beach a lot. I thought the it was so fun and California is so beautiful.
    This summer I am really excited because she is coming up to Wisconsin and she is going to stay at my grandparents house, they live in Brookfield. We are thinking about going to the Dells with them which would be a blast, we would go to a lot of outdoor water parks. The other times they came, we have gotten together with other family. It is always a joy to see all of our families members and extremely Kimmy.

Make Sure you Are Strapped in All the way.

Author's note: We choose death as our writing circle topic and I didn't really know how to write about someone dieing that was very close to someone so I made it someone that no one knew. Hope you enjoy!

I am so excited, tomorrow my best friend Lily and I are going to six flags it is going to be the time of our lives. Lily and I have been best friends for about 5 years now and we have done everything together. We live in Brookfield Wisconsin, so it might take awhile for us to get down there so we decided to leave early in the morning, We were going to pick up Lily and her mother. I should go to bed though because it is getting late and we have to get up at the crack of dawn.
    “Alice, you have to get up it is time to get ready.” My mother said in a nice peaceful voice. RIght then I got out of bed and rushed to the kitchen to get my breakfast. I saw that there were 5 huge pancakes just for me. I grabbed the syrup and stacked each pancake on each other. Every bite I took was delicious, I couldn’t stop eating then my mom walked over.
    “What do you wanna wear too Great America? It is probably going to be hot.”
    “Um, well will you get the blue shirt, and my jean shorts?” I said while trying to wipe my face.
    “Sounds good, and make sure you wash your face off your as messy as a pig.” She said while giggling. I did as I was told and ran in the bathroom to wipe my face, and brushed my teeth while I was at it. Right when I finished brushing my teeth I dashed to my room and changed immediately. I got out of my room, and looked around to find my dog, Lucky and she was barking away. I am guessing that she just didn’t want me to leave.
    “What should I bring in the car ride?” I asked my mom while I was petting my dog.
    “Well Lily and you could sleep in the car if you guys are still tired.” she said while putting some food in a bag.
    “Okay, I’ll meet you in the car. “ I said while picking up my green blanket. I sat in the middle seat of the van. I feel like I have been sitting in the car forever then finally my mom walks out with a big bag and cooler of food. She sets the stuff in the trunk, and then walks into the front seat and starts the engine.
    “Are you feeling okay or are you just still tired?” she said while pulling out of the drive way.
    “I feel fine, but like you said I am tired.” I said. We were now on our way to pick Lily up and it only takes about 5 minutes to get to her house.
    Finally we got there and they were waiting outside, it seemed like Lily was tired too well it was 6 o’clock in the morning. Neither of us are used to getting up that early.
    “Hi Lily!” I said while she was taking her seat right next to me.
    “Hey Alice, do you know what we are going to do on the ride there?”
    “Well I am sort of tired so do you want to just take a nap?”
    “Sounds great, I am too.”
The car came to a sudden stop and I realized that I have been sleeping for the whole ride. I turned to look at Lily and she was still sleeping.
    “Wow those cars were going slower than molasses.” Mrs. Shock said while she was opening the car door.
    “Are we there mom?” I asked.
    “Yeah do you want to walk up Lily?” I turned a shook Lily lightly and told her that we were here. Her big green eyes got huge once I told her. I was excited myself too. We walked up to the ticketmaster and surprisingly it wasn’t a long line, there wasn’t a lot of people there. Anyway right away we walk over to the best ride superman. We get up to the line and there was not anyone in line. We had to wait for the other ride to come back, and for some odd reason I felt like something bad was going to happen. The people that were just on came back, and we were allowed to go on the ride then. I sat by Lily, and our mothers were right in front of us. We got all strapped in and I couldn’t turn my head to be allowed to see Lily.
    “I feel like I am not strapped in all the way.” Lily said. Right when she said that I freaked out I didn’t want her to get hurt but then again that is how the ride is supposed to feel like.
    “Will someone check our seats again.” I yelled so they could hear me. The man that was working the ride came over and made sure we both were strapped in and he said that we were fine. I felt relieved once he told us that we were fine. Suddenly the ride started to move and we were on our way. The ride was turning so much that I actually felt like I was flying! Lily and I were screaming the whole time then all a sudden there was no noise out of Lily or the person right next to Lily. I wonder what happened, why would they both become silent. Although it did start to rain and seemed like it was going to have a storm pretty soon. The ride was just about over and I was going to ask right away. We came to a complete stop and we were allowed to get off. I noticed that Lily was crying but at least I know she is safe.
“Lily why are you crying?” I said to her while looking sympathetic.
“I saw the person to me fall out of their seat, I don’t know who they are.” she claimed while looking more scared than ever. I didn’t answer, but our moms asked us what happened and she told them right away. We told the man who was working the ride to tell someone about the dead body laying in the middle of the field. We knew we had to leave because all of us were scared to go on to another ride, and it started to downpour really hard. It was very odd that it started to rain because it was suppose to be sunny the whole day but I guess the weather man isn’t always right. I was then on scared always to go on roller coasters and even though we drove for a long time it didn’t matter.

Down Under.

Author's note: I thought that this is one of the most beautiful places and I would like to visit it in my lifetime.

A place that I have always wanted to go to was Austraila. I thought it would be interesting to go there because there are a lot of different animals. One of the animals  that I would mainly like to see would be the Kangaroo because they seem like very kind animals, and it would be very fun to see how it hops around.
Another reason why I would like to go to Australia is because there are many beautiful beaches. It would be extremely amusing to go swimming in the either the Indian or Southern Pacific ocean. Not only would I swim I would also take walks or runs in the morning and sometimes night to see the stunning sunset.
Along with that I would like to go see the Sydney Harbor bridge. Supposedly the highest point is 134 meters it is made out of steel. Which means that there is so many fantastic views, you probably could see the whole city. Also when it is night time there would be so many lights that it would light up the whole city.
    Overall I think that this would a wonderful experience. If I lived there I would feel like I was on vacation all year round. Hopefully sometime in my life I will live there.

Horrifying Nightmare

Author's note: I have seen many scary movies and I thought that this reminded me of many of the ones that I have seen. 


I am exhausted, I have a really bad headache from last night. I was at a party, with really loud music and now I have to go to class. I woke up a little late but that didn’t matter, I have 20 minutes to get to school where I have to turn in my essay. I walk into the hallway of my apartment and I don’t see anyone, then I see a black cat sitting right infront of me, staring at me. I thought it was as weird as someone sitting alone in the corner of a room. I figured no one was home and everyone was out, anyway I walked out to the parking lot where I park my Nissan. There were no cars there, I continued to get in my car.  I pulled out to go to the street, but there was no one driving their cars or there wasn’t even people walking. I figured that I should stop to get some coffee to wake up because maybe I am just imagining this. There is a Dunkin’ Donuts just up the street. 

I take the next turn to get my car into the parking lot, which no one was at. I didn’t know if anyone was even working there, but I figured I might as well go in and try. I get out of my car and grab my purse. I open the door to Dunkin’ Donuts, and there was a man standing with his back turned to me. I was as happy as clam, someone was actually there.

 “Excuse me, can I have a cup of coffee?” I said while pulling out a five dollar bill. The man grabbed the coffee pot and poured a single glass. Once he turned around I noticed that he had a scar on his face, it was on the left side. I felt like I have seen him before, in one of my dreams. 

“That will be $2.34.” He said with an unfriendly voice. I handed him the five that I had in my hand, and he handed me the cup of coffee. Without saying a word he handed me my change. I felt like I have just walked inside a haunted house. I walked out, and into my car and put my coffee down in the cup holder. Suddenly I noticed that the man was watching me, I got so freaked out that I quickly pulled out of the parking lot and now I was on my way for college class.
         
I took a sip of coffee, to see if there really were no cars around. The coffee was so hot that it felt like a fire started in throat. Although it did wake me up and I realized that there was a car behind me. Otherwise there were no cars. I took a left to arrive at my school. Just my luck it starts to rain really hard. 

I gathered my books, then I see the lightning bolt seconds later thunder was heard. I figured  I should run because class started in 4 minutes. The building was close to my parking spot and it wasn’t like anyone was there which was odd. I get into the building and it was as quiet as a mouse. I turn the corner and then again a black cat was sitting there staring at me, I knew if I wasted my time looking at the cat I would be late for class so I continued to walk. Finally I arrive at the door of my classroom, I open it and there was men that was standing in the corner of the room alone with his back turned to the class. It didn’t look like my teacher, so I walk over to the mysterious man.  

“Where is everyone? Who are you?” I asked. The man turned around, he had a scar on the left side of his face, it was the guy from Dunkin’ Donuts. I detected a knife in the man's right hand, I tried to ran but it was too late. His motion of his arm swinging to hit me with the knife was about to hit my neck.

 “Ahhhh! Please don’t!” I yelled with all my might. I was still alive, I opened my eyes and I was laying in bed it was just a terrifying nightmare.
