Clamante
By Kevin
Once upon a time there was a young beggar named Clamante and he was as poor as the birds on the street. One day in Ancient Greece, a civil war broke out between the sides of Greece. The democracy because corrupt, Areas the god of war, wanted to veiw war rage across Athens the city of the goddess of Wisdom and craft, Athena. The town became a battlefield.
Ares found enjoyment in the deaths of hundreds of people. Ares liked darting quickly down from the sky. Ares was doing one of his flying trips to the battlefield, Ares passed a group of Ares made smoke as he dashed across the field of dead bodies. He became so happy that he wanted to take some for display for his celebration, and by chance Clamante was there laying by all the bodies. Sad Clamante had just lost all of his family and wanted to lay with them until he died. Ares is so big compared to humans and for the other gods mistakes he did not see that Clamante was alive. Ares took a bag from a farm and Zoomed down on his chariot and sweeped about 20 dead bodies but one was Clamante and he was not close to dead.
Then, later in the future Ares, when trying to cool the bodies saw the bag moving Ares shoved his a hand into the bag and clinged onto him and pulled out Clamante, Ares laughed. Ares wanted to keep Clamante as his own servant for all the deeds he needed. Clamante was so full of this pain of doing everything for the god of war so he decided to run away as fast as he could but he has gone nowhere because everywhere he went he could of been caught. But by the time he was going to stop trying, he was as mad as a Tsunami crashing down onto a beach with the the strength of the world. Clamante knew he would be looking for him so he ran and ran but by the time he made it past Ares temple he tried to get back to Athens. Clamante los tall his hope to get back home as Ares walked up to his mighty dad Zeus. As he tries to listen behind a pillar, Athena spots Clamante behind the huge white marble pillar, Athena questions herself, should she really give him up.
Athena at that time decided to do one thing that Clamante did not know and as he watched Athena glided straight up to Zeus and passed Ares right up. Clamante, was as frightened as a Antelope inside of a cage of Pumas. He saw Athena come from where he was before. He saw Zeus and Ares walk ferociously behind him to see that they were bigger and taller than he was by a mile and if they saw him they would think he was an ant. Athena on the other hand walked over to where Clamante was and kneeled down but was still taller then him from an apple to an apple tree. She lifted up Clamante with here hand and carried Climate over to where no human has ever used. It was the elevator for good people from the underworld would use to come up and live on Beautiful Olympus. He was dropped by Athena into the cylinder of amazing gold and silvers and beautiful purple chandeliers that hung from the top. Clamante was shocked to see all this gold and wealth in one place . It looked like a king or queen's temple but smaller.
Clamante got more comfortable the doors were slid shut. Clamante felt a burst, as strong as if you got butted by a ram. Right before he got comfortable he heard a burst of sand (Swish) go into the tube. Clamante reached over to the sand and picked up a dust of the mini rocks and yelled, home!!!! With the blink of an eye Clamante went to the door and ripped it open and ran to the world but as he walked up to people, they did not even care. But Clamante felt joy in everything even the birds that people compared him with. It felt like 60 years since he has been away. Now every day he thanks the world for everything and became the happiest man in the world. But as the years went on he gave happiness to everyone. Then Clamante has became older and the time was up, and his happiness was never shown again and every year after year no one has ever has seen and will see happiness again.
Why Did Mt. Vesuvius Erupt?
By: Tyler
Long ago, in ancient Rome, Pompeii, a city at the base of Mt. Vesuvius, its fate was being decided by goddess Tyche, goddess of luck, and lord Zeus, king of the gods, ruler of the sky. Poseidon, god of the oceans, sat nearby listening to Zeus and Tyche fight. Zeus fighting to keep it, because it was his favorite, Tyche fighting to destroy it, because she had a score to settle with Unipedes, a young nymph who beat her in chess. They were fighting over the fate of Pompeii.
The next day, Tyche and Poseidon conspired on a plan on how to destroy the city. Poseidon thought that they should destroy it with an earthquake, being the god of earthquakes. Then, they thought of taking Typhon, a huge monster the size of a skyscraper, bent on destroying everything, and putting him under Mt. Vesuvius, and let him break Vesuvius apart, letting ash, rocks, and magma fall on the city of Pompeii. Then, after the city was covered in ash, Typhon would destroy anything left. Now all Tyche had to do is wait. Typhon agreed, getting into Vesuvius from the inside. During the following day, Tyche kept Zeus busy by arguing with him.
Meanwhile, Poseidon was hidden in a cave near Mt. Vesuvius and had told Typhon he would signal him with an earthquake the day before. Now, sitting in his cave, he gave the signal by creating a medium earthquake. When this was happening, Unipedes, Tyche’s nemesis, felt the quake and knew by instinct that something was wrong. There was no other movement, so she went back to relaxing in her villa. In Poseidon’s cave, he saw Tyche acknowledge his signal when she sent a large four leaf clover that only gods and monsters could see because of the mist, a magical thing that blocked the sight of mortals, created by the goddess of magic, Hecate.
Typhon acknowledged by making Vesuvius smoke a bit. Poseidon gave the final earthquake, meaning Typhon should start. Typhon was Mt. Vesuvius, and all the sudden, he started throwing pieces of rock at Pompeii. Then, ash clouded the city over, covering the streets with three meters of ash, enough to destroy anyone in the streets. They felt like a school bus was on top of them.
Unipedes, in her villa, heard the commotion and smelled the smoke. She looked out the window. She saw people suffering, choking on ash, and dying. Then, out of the corner of her eye, she saw her dog. She knew she couldn’t take him, so she stroked his soft head one last time.
“Good bye dog,” she cried “I will always remember you.”
She knew that she had to get out of there fast. So, she took nothing from her villa, except a steak, and ran south, trying to reach the city of Stabiae, where she had distant family that she knew she could live with.
Zeus, watching from above was furious towards Tyche because he knew that it was Tyche so he decided that he would hunt her down. Poseidon, seeing this decided to take a risk. He took his chariot sped very swiftly towards Tyche, picked her up, and took her back to the cave so they could hide from Zeus. Zeus was hunting Tyche down for five weeks, still with no luck. So, after six weeks, he decided to give up. He made a truce with Tyche, so he could talk to her.
The next afternoon, Tyche cautiously approached Mt Olympus, fearing the worst. But it turned out that Zeus just wanted to have one city of his choice to give peace and prosperity. Tyche agreed under one condition: Zeus did not punish her in any way for the destruction of Pompeii. Zeus complied. He chose Florence, Italy. Florence had been begging for help in their war. Tyche agreed. Therefore, Florence is a very wealthy and peaceful city. After this, Zeus and Tyche were good friends on Mount Olympus for eternity.

Why the Sun Rise and Sets
By Johnny Lu
A long time ago there was a poor person who lived in Ancient Greece, a kingdom that smells like fresh bread. The person's name was Alexander, Alex has curly hair and bright blue eyes, he smells like the forest. Alexander might not look as if he is great, but he is a great poet, and proud of it. One day, when a group of people gathered around to listen and praise Alex's poetry, this made Alex prideful and reckless, which made him think that he is better than anyone else, even the gods.
A day later, when Alex was walking home from the market where he bought stuff, he thought, if he sold his poetry to other people, like the ones that always come to praise him, he could earn lots of money, this thought excited Alex as he ran home to prepare for tomorrow. But Alex didn’t realize that up in Olympus, lived the gods. Apollo is one of the gods on Olympus, he was the god of poetry and music. Apollo was very strong and mighty, he could turn into anything and take form of any shape, he is also immortal but has been punished by his father Zeus times before now. So as time goes on the next day, where Alex is making trillions from selling his
poetry, Apollo watched down from Olympus.
As Alex was selling his poetry, he got more reckless by the second, and eventually he started bragging. “I’m so great,” Alex claimed, “that I don’t thinks the gods could even be as great as me.”
An wise old man looked over at Alex “Don’t anger the gods ,” he said with a worried tone, “bad things tend to happen if you anger the gods.” Alex ignored the old man's advice and continued bragging.
Up on Mount Olympus,What was seen in Apollo eyes was only anger burning like fire.
At once Apollo rode his golden chariot down from Olympus and arrived at Alex’s house, everyone gasped and kneeled down before the god, only Alex remained standing.
Apollo spoke “Alex you had angered me, the god of music and poetry, therefore you will pay.”
And so it began, both of them sat down and started reciting poetry, the people gazed at both of them in awe. Alex’s poetry was truly great but Apollo’s was fantastic. So Apollo won and cursed Alex to only allowed to speak in rhyme for the rest of his life because of his foolish thought of overcoming a god.
Resting on Olympus, Apollo’s problems are far from over, little did he know that his father Zeus, the king of the gods was keeping an eye on him this whole time.
When Apollo returned to Olympus, Zeus looked angrily at him and yelled, “Apollo, I will punish you of what you have done! You will chase the sun across the sky until the end of the world!” And with that, Zeus left.
After Zeus Left, Apollo became depressed, he thought, I need to take responsibility for what I have done, and so he took off to a life long service of chasing the sun across the sky.
This was why the sun travels across the sky everyday, it was because of the incident that took place in ancient greece when Alex challenged Apollo, Which ended up with Alex only allowed to speak in rhyme, and Apollo chasing the sun over the skies.
Ink the hunter
By: Jerry Lu
Once upon a time there lived a hunter named Ink. Ink was a greedy person that has dark hair, jet black eyes, and wants everything for himself. He lived in a town by the ocean in Ancient Greece. It was a insignificant town with old people that came back from war.
One day, Ink, the hunter bolted away again when he was stealing things, he ran as fast as he could, to a mountain far far away. The mountain had green spots on the tops like someone spilled paint over it. All of a sudden, he got teleported to a mysterious place. The place would make out of pure gold and gems that would have cost trillions of dollars. It was Olympus, where the greek gods lived in a life of luxury, there were thrones where the Gods and Goddess would sit, and has the smell of the finest flowers.Then on one of the thrones he saw a golden crown. He decided to take the crown and wear it himself.
Then, Athena, Goddess of Wisdom, noticed that the her crown was gone. She was very furious. She had always liked that crown because it was made of pure gold. She decided that when she finds out who stole the crown, she would punish them harder than how hades punishes awful people.
A few weeks later, Athena still has no luck finding the crown. Feeling down, she had no idea that Ink in the mortal world has taken it and has the idea of melting it into liquid. Then after month and month of looking around, She finally sees it for the first time in three months, the golden crown. It was on a dark haired man that just came out of a old, broken bakery.
Suddenly, anger rose up in Athena, remembering all that she has been through to get the crown, she was even more furious than she first found out that her crown was missing. She rose up to Ink and shouted “ Foolish mortals, you have angered a God!”
“Who do you think you’re talking to,” replied Ink foolishly.
“You dare talk to a God like that!” roared Athena as she quickly flew up in the air.
Ink, seeing that he has no choice, used trickery. He ran very fast past Athena and tried to dash away again. But seconds later, Athena caught up again and formed a deep hole in the ground. Ink couldn't stop in time and fell in. The hole was too deep for Ink to get out and he was cornered.
Athena laughed hard as she got closer to Ink, then she slowly raised her hand and spoke spells that no mortal can cast. Ink can feel that his skin was slowly dissolving into a puddle of stinky goo like the crown he was about to melt. After hours of pain, Ink the hunter was completely goo that tasted of mud and Athena took him and flew back high to Olympius.
A few days later, Athena came to the town again. She spoke, “People of the mortal world, you will forever remember how the foolish Ink had died, for he messed with a Goddess and suffered the outcomes. That will happen to whoever mess with a God or Goddess again.”
For now on no one ever messed with a God because of what happened to Ink. Because of the goddess, everyone have to write with the remains of Ink to remember what happened when Ink took the golden crown. The sticky dark part of the goo is known as Ink’s jet black hair and black eyes.
The Robot
By Cara McGrath
Once upon a time in Modern Ireland there lived a girl named Nicole. She had beautiful long blonde hair and chocolate brown eyes. What she wanted most in life, more than anything else, was to make an invention. Now, she had made plenty of inventions before. But she wanted to make an invention that was greater than the lightbulb, greater than the internet, greater than anything.
Now
she was at a moment in her inventing career were anything she invented was terrible. Her robot server was terrible, the elevator that travels in, out, around, under, through, sideways, slantways, anyways, just not good enough. Just like her inventions, she felt awful. She lived in a place with very little publicity. She lived in Ireland, in the countryside, who knows where, and she had few friends. She had her two triplet sisters, Roisin and Saoirse, and they were the ones to properly test her outstanding inventions. Every morning she would run into the woods to grab some wood and had just enough time to run past the old tree and dip her finger in the sap and devour its amazing taste of nature and tangy sweetness. The place where they lived smelled like fresh grass, and tree bark, and it sounded like the birds having a conversation and the wind whistled in such a calming way. Her sisters liked her robot invention the best, but she disliked it the most.
One day out of nowhere she ran out of her room with her robot and into the woods. It was a rainy day. Her two sisters ran after her, telling her it would ruin her invention. Nicole felt a pounding in her heart half saying it was a wrong thing to do, the other half cheering her on. Her sisters screamed for her to come back. And she did. But without the robot. Meanwhile, in the forest, the robot was having some malfunctions. It suddenly jolted out of the spot that Nicole had thrown him on the deep forest floor. He started to rip through the trees tearing the forest down.
Then she realized what she had done. She sprinted fast into her spot in the forest were she had left the robot but he no longer remained there. Her eyes began tearing up and she grew into depression. She thought she would never be happy again. Her sisters ran into the forest and they found her lying on the ground.
Right after that they heard a noise. Not the normal bird conversation or the wind whistling. It was thumping. And suddenly the robot came crashing through the forest and Nicole woke up.
“Nicole, your alive!” Saoirse wailed with happiness.
Later on, after their parents had soothed Nicole and warmed her up, her dad, a retired mechanical engineer helped her rebuild the robot so he wouldn't be so destructive. It was done.The robot they had worked on for hours on end was done. She was exhausted,and needed some sleep. Suddenly, at about midnight, she woke up where she hadn’t gone to sleep. She woke up with a view of the forest, lying in the robot's arms. She jumped out of his arms and looked around. She wasn’t in their forest.The robot looked different. It wasn’t the latest advanced robot. She was petrified. She ran and she heard the robot chasing after her crunching twigs and leaves. She screamed for her sisters, her parents, her neighbors. Nobody was anywhere.
After a while she stopped and realized she had lost sight of the robot.She felt tired and she was in the middle of a forest next to a pile of moss. She lay down to rest. Soon after she woke up in a glowing white and golden area. After her eyes had adjusted she realized where she was. She was with the gods.She saw a centaur staring right at her and telling the gods how he had found her in the deep woods and how he had carried her cold corpse up to the gods. . Zeus, Aphrodite and Moonlight, the goddess of mythical creatures, were all present at that moment also. They told her what to do. She unlocked the minds of her sisters whilst they slept. The gods lowered her down back down and she lay back in the forest. At last her sisters found her in the woods and they felt joyous that they had finally found their missing sister. They looked around the bright colourful forest that was in the past grey and gloomy. “ I love You”
The End of All Ends
By: Mark Menezes
Her name is Carmen Lyten. She wishes that she had never been born.
Meanwhile, in Mount Olympus, Zeus was not amused with the joker in the palace, Kamisaki. Zeus was so mad that he shot Kamisaki down with a lighting bolt and he crashed down onto earth, in a volcano off the coast of Beijing. The year was 2099 and Beijing was covered in pollution, so the sun wasn't able to get through the clouds, and the temperatures severely plummeted, leaving the city in eternal darkness. But in the sea there was something even more concerning. The volcano’s last explosion was catastrophic. Currently, the city was concerned about another explosion. To try to stop this an American named Carmen Lyten came to study the volcano and try to find the day of the next eruption. Carmen was almost to the point of figuring it all out. For another night she settled down to see of her machines could track any vibrations in the earth. She was about to get a reading, so she decided to get some sleep and record her data the next day to see if her machines had worked.
Crash! She was woken by the rattling of her lamp and the thuds of her stuff falling from their shelves. Immediately she went to go see if she could figure out what was happening. Her machine had collected a reading! But that wasn't the only thing. The reading said twenty years, and there was a giant tremor hitting her at that moment. After being thrown around and her belongings being thrashed, she found her machines smashed against the wall. She ran over to pick them up, and she was stunned at what she saw.
She was sure the tremor had broken her machine. The numbers were running down like crazy. The time until the next eruption was now only 8 hours away. She was too tired for any more, she fainted. When she awakened there was one hour gone.She was woozy but needed to go find out what happened. When she got there something was obviously wrong. The volcano was pulsing with energy and a green glow. The lava hissed with an ominous tone. She could almost make out the shape of a dragon or lizard, but she thought to herself that she was just hallucinating. She got back to her camp as fast as she could and got her thermal scanner that was in tact by a miracle. She could still smell the burnt ash from the volcano, being an omen for her to speed up. She was just leaving when she came back to look at the timer. It was now down to 6 hours. She needed to find out what was happening. She got to the top of the volcano and scanned it. There was immense heat radiating from the mountain- and an emerald looking stone in the middle, creating the green glow I could feel the vibrations of energy.
She didn’t see it till 30 minutes later. There was an outline of heat in the shape of a giant reptile.She got her supplies to the top of the volcano when she checked her machine, she was at 4 hours. She got back to the top of the volcano, but sooned learned she would not need the binoculars for what was happening. The pulsating beast rose out of the volcano with the red eyes of vengeance that were set on Beijing. It was giant and was using the emerald and green liquid to fuel itself. Carmen knew she had to do something. She only had two hours. But now she understood- The timer was for how long she had before Kamisaki reaches Beijing. She had a choice- alert Beijing, or try to destroy the monster myself. There was no time she told herself. She could do this herself. The taste of perseverance filled her mouth as she worked as hard as she could. But Kamisaki wasn't there when she arrived. But then she saw him. He was approaching Beijing at high speeds, ready to destroy the city and make Zeus suffer for his actions. But Carmen saw a way through. It was the emerald, that was it’s power. She only had 30 minutes. She got the mechanical arm as close as she could and snacthed at the emerald. She missed and almost dropped the grabber itself. She tried again and again but missed over and over. She could hear the shoutes of the city. The shouts of the people. Finally she grabbed it, but not in time. She looked over to see a destroyed city, in ashes and terror. Dead and screaming. Why was she so naive? Why was I so naive? Why did I make those mistakes? I had had enough. I wish I had never been born. I would never live again. I closed my eyes forever and committed suicide.
When Kamisaki died, a chemical reaction sparked and the whole sky exploded with color- it had sunsets like a beautiful rainbow, the blue sky as pure as a river, and much more. Now new inhabitants came to live in the beautiful Beijing. From that day on the whole world returned to its cheerful happy place.
The Real Reason Why the Sun Rises and Sets
By: Keegan Milewski
In the small town of Siena, Italy, Jeffy, an intelligent young person, starts to see a problem. The sun never sets nor does it rise, It just s
its there beating down earth. Now the people of Siena are rejoicing and living lavishly, but Jeffy is without a home and isn't as fortunate as the others so he can never sleep because the sun is always beating down on him. So Jeffy wants the sun to have a certain time in which it rises and sets. But changing this will need the power of a god.
Because of this Jeffy begins to plead to Apollo god of the sun. He gets nothing in response. He even sacrificed sheep his only source of food, still nothing in response. One day Apollo comes down to visit Jeffy. He explains to Jeffy that he does not have the power to do so even though he is the god of the sun Zeus will not allow him to have the sun rise and set. Jeffy does not stop at this as he believes that with more people begging the gods may eventually give in do he explains to the town the problem and they agree to beg to the gods with him. So they do and Apollo is listening. Apollo is starting to get annoyed with all of the people begging so he Joins them and begs to Zeus.

A voice thunders “After a year of you guys relentlessly begging I have made a deal with Apollo” “the sun will rise In the early morning and set at night giving you ample daylight to do your jobs but darkness to sleep peacefully”
The people of Italy elated so loud the earth shook.Everyone went back to living joyfully but Jeff still was missing something. A house. Now the problem was it was too frigid at night to sleep.

Elijah
By: Hunter
One blossoming morning in a small town on Easter Island there lived a boy named Elijah, a tall handsome young boy with dirty blond hair and eyes as blue as the ocean itself. Every morning Elijah would work out, and he would start by running a mile around the lake every morning. Now this was no ordinary lake, this is the place Elijah last saw his parents. Elijah miraculously remembers that day clearly. His mind went back to a dark Sunday afternoon. It was about 5:00 when his parents came home. Sheer terror was illustrated in their body language. They said they had to go right away, when they made it to the lake they stopped. A massive thundercloud swirled over them. Elijah's parents suddenly threw tons of jewelry and gold coins at the ground begging for mercy. Elijah recognized this jewelry it was from the temple of Zeus. Then suddenly, a massive thunderbolt shot out of the sky, It reeked of a fire like smell, so hot that it did not leave ash behind of his parents. Another one began to boil ready to unleash its wrath. Then it ceased so abruptly a tremor of fear moved across his body and he never understood who was behind this as he was far too little.
The lake was empty since that day and it was peaceful, so he liked it. Now, one morning, there was an old woman at the edge of the lake gazing into it like she was looking for something. Something that made her get lost in the thoughts of old memories she had here. So, he strode over to her and realized he had never seen her around the lake before. She paused and turned around. She looked old but not too old, and she had a very gentle smile but then it disappeared just as quickly at it as came. She was glaring at him so intensely, into his soul, then a rush of panic came to her eyes.
“I must go.” She stammered,” Zeus would not like me conversing with you.” Still confused she said, “You know what he did to your parents, and he will do the same to me.” Then she was gone just like that like a light switch just shut off.
After all of this, he sat and contemplated this new theory of what happened that day. It blindsided him that he had not thought about this before, he had tied everything together and fists clenched screamed into the sky unleashing a fire inside him. He desired revenge badly. He wanted it so badly he enlisted the help of Dolus, god of trickery, to help construct a marvelous stadium that when Zeus entered it would trap him. Now this took a while since he had to build 900 enormous statues alone. The people of the small village persisted that he would surely die but he did not listen.
A month later, it was complete and Elijah stood alone in the center meditating, nervous but ready. He took a statue of Zeus’ beloved wife Hera which was smooth on the edges and had a cylindrical base and threw it at the ground making a spitting sound that was heard around the world. Even on Mount Olympus. Zeus with sheer frustration came tumbling down like an avalanche appearing at the far end of the stadium fiery eyed.
“Mortal,” he retorted,” how dare you disrespect my wife.”Elijah stood tall not backing down and said, “Just showing the same courtesy you showed my parents.”Looking angrier than ever, Zeus spit and said, “Insolent fool, I should have slain you when I had the chance. Now you will have my wrath.“ Then, with a single thunderbolt Zeus hurled it as hard as he could murdering the ground making thick smoke bursted up in the air. When it cleared all that was left was just dust and the 900 statues surrounding it and the taste of blood. Those very statues that Elijah fought upon are still there, but nonetheless, Elijah was no more.
The Future of Soccer
By Ethan Pham
Shawn Claw was a towering human with big kind brown eyes and black hair. He always wanted to bring back human soccer. Unlike other people, he enjoyed playing soccer and playing with the unbeatable robots. He felt sad because his favorite game was dying because of the stupid robots. Jason, Shaun’s little brother was a lean human ,but one thing about him was extraordinary. He had two eye colors, blue and green and curvy long blonde hair. He also had wanted to bring back human soccer because he felt like he was being treated unfairly. He enjoyed playing soccer with his older brother and singing. They both lived in Technopolis in the year 2164. Everything looked like technology and sounded like hoverboards. Technopolis smelled like cherries because of the overhead air fresheners and the air tasted like kiwis.
One day, Shaun and Jason were effortlessly slowly strolling to the soccer field to practice, but professional robot soccer players were there. They decided to gracefully shove them out of the way, and then the robots challenged the unfamiliar humans to a soccer game, but a special game. If the robots won they get to keep on playing, but if the brothers won, there would be equality and humans could play soccer. So, in response, the brothers agreed to play the robots.
On one sunny day, two young boys, Jason and Shawn decided to gather random humans in the city to play the robots, but in the corner, Jason was nodding his head as fast as a cheetah.
“Why would we do this?” he asked. “We will have no chemistry because we have one day to prepare and we won’t know them well.”
“It is two ordinary people against eight unbeatable robobutts,” Shawn replied, “Do you think we will succeed?�
�
So, the brothers gathered just enough humans participate in the game. The whole team practiced many skills such as juggling. The game had started at three o’ clock. Within the first two minutes of this historic game on the bright green pitch the robots scored and screeched like a thousand vikings. The whole team was devastated. Just before halftime, the robots scored an outstanding header goal. At halftime, everybody was giving up except for Shawn. He invocated to god of soccer, Goalidon. Then he gave a speech.
“Just believe, this game is not over, we are outstanding humans, we are just like sneaky turtles because remember it’s better to go slower than faster,” he said, “ They may be better than us in some areas, but we are smarter and better than them.”
The second half had started and the humans had started greatly by scoring a goal in the first two of the second half. The human defence stood up when the robots had gotten close to the goal. Then, when the humans got the ball, the robots received a crucial penalty in the goalie box. Jason was going to take the penalty kick. He took two breaths and slowly shut his eyes. And then, Pow! He had scored and the whole crowd was cheering and singing like dolphins. He screamed like a thunder cloud.
The next day, there was a parade where the whole city turned all the landmarks back to human style by covering them in grass and hay. The government gave them a national day and the city key to the capital. When the robot soccer player’s owner, John Techfolk heard that the majority of the city appreciated the humans over the robots, he disabled the robots and allowed the humans to play soccer.
From now on, the humans can play and enjoy soccer without any worries. Also, the robots have been working for the elderly. What happened to Jason and Shawn you ask? Well, Shawn became a professional soccer player and Jason became a pop star and was called the two eye colored monster.
Flurry and Snow
By Blue Jay
In a far off valley,there lived a village of fairies and in that village lived a fairy named Flurry. She was very pretty. Her golden hair shone like the sun and her eyes were as beautiful as the river. She was also very playful. Also in that village there lived a beautiful butterfly who loved to get attention from girls two their names May, Ray but when Flurry would come around all they would want to do is play with her so the butterfly was very sad. So one day he decided to trick her into the Forest of Forever Hold Your Peace where an angry bear lived. Anyone who went into the forest never ever came out alive. So the butterfly said one day to the the little fairy, “Do you want to play tag with me?”
“Sure!” said the unsuspecting fairy. So she chased him into the the forest where he flew up, up, and out of sight. Flurry looked around and saw that she was in the forest. She had heard two girls talking about the forest and that you could not get out, but she thought it was a myth. She never thought that it was true so she decided to go back the way she came but no matter how far she walked there were always more trees. So she decided to sit down and see where she was.
Also walking around the forest was Snow she liked to watch the leaves dance. Snow was an average fox with red fur black paws. Snow loved to walk around and smell the perfumey daisies and she liked to hear the creek rustling. Most of all she loved to go out when it was winter, so she could feel the coolness of the sparkling snow under her paws, and taste of the snow in her mouth while she ate it. She wondered what was going on with Flurry who was just there sitting there she so went to see what was wrong. “What’s wrong ?” asked Snow.
I am stuck in this forest and there's a fairy eating bear coming.” said Flurry. “Oh, you must mean Uncle Joe. He doesn’t eat fairies, he only eats humans, but he’s the one who can get you out of here. I can take you take you to him if you make this place forever winter also could you make my fur wight. so she took flurry to go see uncle joe and he got her home. Also she never played with the butterfly again.
The First Ancestor of the Majestic Llama
By:Llama
A long time ago in a distant village dwelling in the peaceful mountain crevices of Peru, where the air smelled of fresh dirt covered in morning dew and the evening fog seemed to give you a damp hug as long as you were outdoors, there lived a young man named Lucio. Lucio had long black hair of a god and was very tall as well as good looking. He lived in a small, stone house on the grassy hillside of the tallest mountain with his mother Rosetta and his father Han where they could hear the stream flowing swiftly down the mountain and see the sun rising over the far hill before anyone else. Every day Lucio worked like an ox alongside his father, the strongest man in the village, harvesting and planting rice and herding sheep while Rosetta sat before her loom and weaved the most elegant designs into her beautiful rugs that made her very well known.
Many people in the village thought that they were the greatest family in all Peru, until one very unfortunate day. Lucio’s father fell incredibly ill with a disease that no one in the village had ever come across before. A very long week later, Han could not take anymore. Lucio held his father’s pale and shriveled hand in his as he said his last goodbye to his beloved friend. His father was gone forever.
After a long month of complete depression inside of Lucio’s heart, his mother asked him in her sweet, soothing voice if he could resume his chores along with all his father’s. Lucio agreed, but only because it was what his father would have desired. This meant that he would have to work like a horse to herd the sheep, retrieve water from the bottom of the mountain, and harvest and plant rice, twice a day. Every day. This was a lot of work for one man to do, but Lucio followed through, even though he went to work with a melancholy look on his disappointed face
Five long years later, Lucio would come home dragging bags of rice behind him as he trudged through the door of his home with an exhausted expression on his face. Every day after he completed his tasks, he was too tired to remain awake for dinner and would take a bowl of moist brown rice to his room instead of staying up with his mother to eat. He wanted to make his father proud, but he was getting overly frustrated with his daily assignments. One day, on his long walk down the mountain, Lucio came across the eldest woman in the village struggling to carry a basket of clothing on her back. “Lucio!” she called in a soft, fading voice. “Will you please help me carry this basket up the mountain?”
“No, you ugly old hag! I have things to haul down the mountain too. I have no time for your games!” he scolded as he passed her swiftly.
Terra, the goddess of the earth and animals, was aware this cruel action and went down to him disguised as a beautiful maiden. She transformed her usual apparel into a dress decorated with a golden trim around the edges and blue diamonds around the collar. She paused in front of Lucio on the dusty trail down the mountain. He was startled, but could not believe his eyes!
“Why did you treat that woman poorly?” she asked. When she spoke, her words were as sweet as the nectar the gods drank. Lucio did not answer. His dark brown eyes were wide with wonder.
“Beautiful maiden! Will you be my bride?” he cried in desperation. Then, to his despair, she disappeared into the morning mountain mist. Terra looked surprised by how a man could be so selfish. She then went to her father Allow, king of the gods and sky, for advice. Allow devised a plan to make him work for all eternity and not have the ability to complain, by turning him into a pack animal.
Terra journeyed back down to Lucio disguised once again as the maiden, and caught his undying attention. She talked with him for a while about his love for her and continually tried to ask him why he was in constant complaint. By noon, she was tired of him and revealed herself as the goddess she truly was.
“You will suffer for your cruel actions and attitude,” she
said, right before transforming him into a llama, an animal that worked all day by carrying heavy loads up and down the mountains. This way, he and all his descendants will have work as pack animals forever, and not of them could complain about their work like Lucio had done for many years before ……. except for spitting.
The Wimpey One
By: Jaiden Wechter
Our story begins long ago, in the forests of Greece, where the wolf feast on the abundant, helpless prey. There was one pack of wolves near a river. They were marked by the primitive pilgrims that roamed the land outside of the wooded forest, as the Argyris Leonidas. The Argyris Leonidas pack was far different from other wolf packs. The wolves that made up the other packs were known as far more fierce predators. Occasionally, one of the people that had overtaken the land from the wildlife had gone and killed off the other pack wolves because they opposed as a threat to the young offspring. However, Argyris Leonidas tribe remained as thriving as ever. They, being less aggressive, did not get wiped out by the indigenous. They rather hunt for themselves, instead as hunting as a pack. They each have their own den at the age of two, and fend for themselves at that young age. This rendering the aggressive pack attribute unnecessary, and therefore the indigenous did not recognize the Argyris Leonidas as a threat to the indigenous tribe. In fact, the inhabitants marked killing a wolf from Argyris Leonidas a crime.
Melpomeni, being the pregnant female wolf, and a honored hunter, was granted the special exception to stay in her den, when others brought her water from the stream, and game from the wood. Melpomeni was the first female in Argyris Leonidas to stay in her den, while others cared for her. Three months later, Melpomeni gave birth to her litter. There were 5 cubs, that were indistinguishable, because they were so early in childhood. But then they were, at least one.
Vlasis, the youngest born out of the five, grew to be lazy. It had taken him six months after his other siblings before he could walk. There were also physical attributes. Vlasis’ fur was soft to the touch, as silk, and his ears were as droopy as a wet leaf. Later in childhood, he was made fun of by the other hunters and boys, because he looked more fragile than a thin glass cup. Later on that year Vlasis was desperate to find some hope to go off of. One day he was hunting, despite his incapabilities, and wandered to the border of the indigenous colony. One group of boys playing ball, kicked the nut out into the forest, where Vlasis stood. Vlasis was curios, and sniffed the ball. The children soon discover where the hard ball has flown to. When the children discovered the ball, they also discovered Vlasis.
Since the indigenous showed no threat to Argyris Leonidas, they showed no threat to Vlasis either. The children stroked his silky fur. They reached out, and touched his floppy ears. Vlasis was admired by the children, and finally he knew what is meant to feel admired and important. The children led Vlasis into the colony. He was led into the main plaza where he saw early humanity working and building. As Vlasis went farther throughout the city, they came to a clay-made hut. He there saw two mature humans and two children. As Vlasis regained his energy from hunting by the fire hearth, he looked out the window, and saw a sculpture by the looks of it of a more significant human . The inhabitants of the colony called her Athea, goddess of admiration. Vlasis went to see this beautiful sculpture, that had almost looked real.
In Argyris Leonidas as a cub Vlasis saw the brave hunters worship these kinds of humans. They looked very important to both species. In Argyris Leonidas the hunters would bring this object a sacrifice from the forest. Not knowing why, Vlasis ran out to the forest, he saw the first rabbit to catch his eye, and charged. After some time, he killed the rabbit. Bringing it back to the sculpture Vlasis wondered why this piece of rock would help him, or even how it could help him. Vlasis made his way back to the sculpture, and laid the rabbit at it’s feet.
A white flash, a feeling of a summer day warmth, the taste of fresh prey, Vlasis was unaware of where he stood, for before him, was Athea, but in human form. Vlasis softly sniffed the goddess, and when she touched his silky fur, she had vanished. Vlasis awoke at the feet of the marble statue of Athea. He pointed his head at where the killed rabbit was, but all he could taste was, nothing.
Vlasis opened his eyes to see a rabbit no more. He walked back to his den in shame, because he had felt he had gained nothing, and had wasted a rabbit, that he would have surely enjoyed, back at his den. He was walking through Argyris Leonidas when he noticed all the other pack members staring as he walked to his den. He had fallen asleep, and awoken to find wolves rubbing against Vlasis as a sign of respect and admiration. It was then he realized that the rabbit, will turn into many more. From that day forward, all of the people who admired him, had hunted for Vlasis, and he could lay back in his den, doing nothing but resting. One day he went back to the city to thank the goddess for answering his wishes. When he was done, he noticed where the children had accepted him as something good and admirable. He decided that he would live there, with the humans. Later, he had a family, with cubs.
These cubs, looked exactly like Vlasis, which the humans had called dogs. One blessing that the Goddess Athea included is that every offspring related to Vlasis, will look like him. Eventually everyone had a dog, and started spreading dogs to other parts of the world. Not only had the city and Argyris Leonidas admired him, now, the whole world admired him.
As these dogs move from different portions of the world, they adapted to the different environments around them. Some had different fur colors, and others had different shapes. There were dogs everywhere, and when Vlasis had passed, the inhabitants of the colony placed Vlasis at the feet of the statue. Vlasis would now be a representative of Athea, and he would sit at her right hand, and serve her for all eternity.
How The Sun Got Its Color and Light
Thomas Weseloh
One day long ago there was no sun there was only a massive dead planet filled with very explosive gasses floating in the space controlled by the god of planets Derv. On earth there was no light and the only creatures that lived there were monkeys and one of these monkeys name was Kong. All of a sudden, while Kong was eating his lunch a banana Kong saw a meteor the size of a chair coming down at him and it cracked open it took a minute for Kong to realize what was in the meteor and then he saw it a golden banana the shiniest thing on earth he touched it thinking it would blow up but it didn’t so he brought it to show his friends and the King.
The King suggested that Kong should bring it to the ritual building, so he did. The king announced that Kong found a golden banana and put it in the ritual building so all the monkeys on earth had to do one hour of praying to the golden banana to let there be a ton of light. Later on the monkeys were all so happy that they had a party and a feast but little did they know that someone or something big was trying to steal the golden banana from the golden ritual building.
The next day the mountain lion decided to attack the monkeys heard the growling of the mountain lions so they were prepared to fight armed with banana rang, they started throwing them at the mountain lion and he started to get mad so he called backup and the other mountain lions that came in were distracting the monkeys while the other one went for the golden banana. All of a sudden all the monkeys went in the temple with Kong charging at the mountain lions the monkeys were hitting the mountain lion throwing banana rangs kong got up close and could smell the bad breath of the blood thirsty mountain lion thinking of what he would taste like if he got eaten. After a long time the monkeys actually won but some of the monkeys including Kong were severely injured by the ferocious mountain lion the king wanted Kong to die in a god like way so he gave the ritualized golden banana to Kong and let him eat it.
Suddenly Kong started to fly and went into space he reached a dead planet and it all happened so fast Kong got close to the very explosive gasses he accidentally took a breath and that was the end for Kong the banana reacted to the gassed and exploded making the dead planet go up in flames which is now called the sun mak
ing the god Derv get happy. Now the earth and all the monkeys had joy in the huge light that kong and the golden banana gave to them and now a ton of different animals are born because of the light it gave, the earth was now finally complete after 3 billion years.
Printing The Sticky Notes
By Sarah
My name is Bill and I travel with this strange man called the Doctor, or as I call him: Doctor What? I have a stunning afro and I like to ask a lot of questions. My job is serving chips (which is as boring as you can imagine), so I decide to travel with this lonely man to have some adventure and keep him company. My friend, the Doctor, is a mysterious Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey in the constellation of Kasterborous, wherever that is. He has a head of curly graying hair that looks like a stormy sky. He is can be deadly serious on moment and then laughing and joking the next. We ramble in a little blue box that is bigger on the inside; this machine is dubbed the TARDIS, by the Doctor, and it can voyage anywhere in time and space.
For another exploit, the kooky Doctor decides that it would be fun to go have a sojourn in Germany, 1440. I ask him what happens in 1440, but he won’t tell. I guess I’m in for a surprise! I feel a faint tingling down my spine, but I know that it’s just the nerves I get when I hear those ancient engines turning.
About five minutes later, we land in a house that smells of dead liver and dirt. There are papers strewn about the grimy floor and they all have what looks like a drawings of the first printing presses on them. Then the thought dawned on me: we were going to meet Johannes Gutenberg, brilliant inventor of the first printing press, the invention that paved the way for printing books today.
I hear the sound of heavy footsteps as the very man I was thinking about emerges from the shadows. He is wearing a musty old coat and a tired expression to match his worn boots. His beard, however, is as white as freshly fallen snow. I think he catches a glimpse of the bright yellow sticky notes that I quickly hide in my soft pocket.
“Who are you and how did you get into my house?” Mr. Gutenberg demands.
“Oh, hello. I’m the Doctor, and this is Bill,” he clarifies in his Scottish accent. “We were wondering if-”
But all of a sudden he is cut off by a loud snapping noise and a supernatural being that looks like the Greek goddess of war and wisdom, Athena, materializes in the blurred smoke. She is dressed in smooth golden and red robes and is wearing an olive branch on top of her carefully styled dark brown, curly locks of hair.
“I am the goddess of sticky things, Glutinosissima!” she announces to us. “You will return to me what you have stolen!” The Doctor looks at me as if to inquire what I stole, and to return it before the terrifying Glutinosissima destroys us all.
“What did I steal?” I ask. But, then I vaguely remember that a nice friend bought these sticky notes for me. Maybe he stole them! I show her half of the sacred sticky notes, because the rest of the notes have writing on them. She nods and I give them to her.
Glutinosissima inspects the sticky notes and she realizes it is only half. The goddess starts to shoot bright, glue-ish lightning as fast as an avalanche, towards us.
We race over into a side room, where the air tastes like dust, while Gutenberg has a look of utter shock mingled with fear on his face. I don’t blame him, that’s how I felt when I first went on an adventure with the Doctor and the Nazi-like Daleks.
I stealthily creep out of the room and lie to a goddess, boldly stating that I don’t know where the rest of the sticky notes are and beg her to leave us in peace. She takes pity on us and floats away on a cloud of foggy sticky notes.
Mr. Gutenberg wants to thank us for saving his life, so with the help of the newly fabricated printing press and the Doctor’s sonic screwdriver, he prints our faces onto the remaining sticky notes.
We say sadly farewell to Johannes and travel back to the future. I leave the sticky notes on a dusty shelf in my room, so that I will always look at and remember this crazy journey to Germany. A few hours later (to non-time travelers), I make copies of the sticky notes and give them out to my friends and family so that they could make more and send them to their friends. That is the origin of the Doctor Who sticky notes.
