HALLOWEEN STORY
I am a normal kid. Okay, not totally normal. This is why. Okay, so there is this graveyard that nobody has ever gone in. My friend Harriet said, "I will pay 1,000 dollars to anyone who goes into that graveyard and lives"
I wanted to get that money, so I got my flashlight and headed outside. When I got to the graveyard, it was night. It looked even creepier in the dark. I went in. Something snapped. I turned around. It had sounded like bones. No one was there. I kept walking. I heard another noise, closer this time. I went around a gravestone and everything went black. I could see nothing. I could not speak. I could not move. Then I saw white, like bones. I felt a tug somewhere in my chest. It was a cold hand pulling on my heart. Then I died and something was put in the place where my heart had been. It was round and cold. I was alive, but I felt weird. The next day, I told my mom and she took me to the doctor. In the waiting room, they were showing a horror movie about a graveyard. Weird! Then, the doctor screamed. She ran out of the xray room...because in place of my heart, there was a SKULL!!! Now, I haunt anyone who makes evil dares, especially Harriet. Come into the graveyard sometime and we'll have lunch!

A MAGIC LAND
One day I was having such a bad day, till I had to go to bed. I tried to tell my mom how bad of a day I had, but all she said was, "Get some sleep!" So I went to take my shower, but disaster struck! I slipped and hit my head, then I went to a magical place where everything was candy and sweets and roller coasters. So I went on a roller coaster 12 times. The roller coaster went up, down, all around. Upside down and everywhere! Then I went to Candyland and had a candy apple, then sugar grass, then, last but not least, I drank some of the chocolate river. Then I heard something and it said, "Are you all right?" It sounded like..my mom!? It was my mom! Then I woke up and she said, "You hit your head on the bathtub." I said, "I did?" And she said, "Yeah."
