Footsteps
By Alyssan Clarke

          People used to think she was a weirdo and they always thought she was not going to be able to follow her dreams. The girl in this story has a name nobody will forget. Her name is Lilly Jackson and she grew up on a small ranch outside of town. Her family owned lots of dogs, but dogs aren’t the only thing she likes. She also liked the wilderness. Her lifetime dream was to live in the wild with the animals. Her parents thought she was crazy and she would just grow out of it but she didn’t. The only thing that kept her parents from sending her to an aid class is, when she was five she would found a wild coyote and started to play with it at first her parents thought it was one of their dogs but they soon found out it wasn’t.

          When Lilly graduated High School she went to school to be a biologist. She was top of the class. When she graduated college she took a job as a wild life expert in a town outside of a city. She had that job for a long time and she loved it. Then it happened the most extraordinary thing.      She was in her way to work when she saw a coyote run on front of her car she STOPPED!!! She looked and saw that that coyote looked like the coyote I played with when I was five!!  She thought they all probably look the same. That’s when all of a sudden her car slides right off the road and into the WOODS!!! Her car crashes into a tree and she turns out ok. So she gets out of the car and she looks to see where she is and sees that she is not far from the town. Then she thought to herself, “I can just walk back to town and get my car pulled out.” Then all of the sudden she sees it the coyote in front of her it stands up and howls as loud as a fire truck siren. Then all of a sudden it runs deep into the woods. She thought “that was weird.” Then she thought “this is it my chance to get into the wild!”

          She took off without looking back. She headed straight after the coyote. It leads her straight into the woods. She all of a sudden felt like she was following the coyote’s exact footsteps. Suddenly the coyote stopped and all of a sudden different kinds of animals ran towards the coyote. She didn’t know what was going on. She thought this wasn’t possible. She looked at the animals and she thought it looked as if they were talking to each other. Then all of a sudden the coyote snapped back towards Lilly. Then he looked like he was going to bite her and then he started barking at her. She thought that if she was going to stay out here for along time she would want to get to know the animals. So she acted all nice and soon became friends with all the wild animals.

          When she woke up she heard someone talking. She thought I it must be someone looking for her. So she got up and she walked around her camp and saw nobody. She listened harder and it turned out to be the animals talking!! She then ran into the woods and she thought she was running really fast then she realized SHE WAS!!! She then could smell food from the diner a couple miles away in town! Then she could hear the cars from the town! She went back to camp and lived there for a few more years. One morning when she woke up she saw that the animals weren’t there so she went looking for them. She soon found people out in the woods that were carrying crates. She looked to see what was in the crates and it was the animals! She ran to take a closer look and it turns out the people are from another country here to steal animals for their fur!! She then howled like a coyote and all the hunters looked her way. While the hunters were looking for what they thought was a coyote she snuck around so that she was looking at the backs of the hunters and she went up to the cages and opened them. While the hunters were still looking the other way she and the animals ran as fast as they could back to their camp. The good thing was that they were all back together again. They lived happily ever after for ever.

Too Fast
by Mackenzie

          One day there was a girl named Cynthia Finkle. Cynthia Finkle was not an ordinary eight year old, she had a special talent. Her special talent was that she could talk fifty words per second. Except she also had a problem, no one could understand her. The only person that could understand Cynthia was her best friend Caroline Pillownowski.

          It was Monday September eighth, the first day of school. Cynthia and Caroline always walk to the bus stop together. Once they got to school, they hung their backpacks in their lockers and went to room 368. Their teacher, Mrs. Ellen said “good morning class.” Then the class said “good morning Mrs. Ellen” Everyone said it except she noticed that somebody said it very fast, but she didn’t really care at that moment. At nine’ o’clock it was time for reading, so Mrs. Ellen called on Cynthia. Cynthia started to read, but when the teacher heard her reading she immediately stopped her because she was reading to fast. So the teacher said, “Cynthia can you come over her really fast?” so Cynthia went over to Mrs. Ellen. Mrs. Ellen said “I think I am going to put you I speech therapy.”

                   When Cynthia got home she did not want to talk to her parents about school. She went up stairs and did her homework. When she was done with her homework she called Caroline to talk to her about the Speech Therapy. Caroline said, “Well maybe we should go to my Uncle Melvin’s house. Meet me at the Library by the Park.”

          Once they arrived at Carlines Uncle Melvin’s house Caroline knocked on the door, but there was no answer. The girls looked at each other. When they looked back to the front they realized that they were falling through a dark hole! After a couple of seconds they hit a lumpy mattress. They wondered around the house and looked at all the inventions. After ten minutes of walking around Uncle Melvin popped up from behind an invention and scared Cynthia and Caroline because he had tidied hair a big goggles on! Uncle Melvin said, “hello Caroline, what brings you her for?” Caroline said, “ well my best friend Cynthia, talks very fast and we were wondering if you could help?” “well I just made a new invention and it slows sown people.” Said Uncle Melvin. “Well let’s give it a try.” Said Caroline.

          When Cynthia came out of the invention Caroline said, “well say something Cynthia.” Cynthia did and she sounded great. Both Caroline and Cynthia gave Uncle Melvin a hug and went back to their houses. When Cynthia got home her parents couldn’t believe how great she sounded, they were shocked. The next morning at school Mrs. Ellen said, “Are you ready for speech therapy Cynthia?” Cynthia said “okay but I don’t think I need it any more.” “wow your voice sounds great, I guess you don’t need to go any more.” That is the story of Cynthia Finckle.

The Fishing story
By Hunter Morley

Once upon a time there was a man called Jon. Everybody  knew him for catching the biggest fish ever in Portage lake. People say it was 100 feet long salmon but we all know it was a 50 inch salmon. He was the top person or top of the food chain. He had the ability to see fish under the water. And the big ones too.      

But one day a strong and muscular man named Hunter came into town. He had it all fish grafts, the newest rods, and tackle. And he was trying to catch the biggest fish ever caught on Portage lake. He came from a little town called Cadillac.

When he got on the lake he immediately started catching fish. After a while he got his limit and went in for dinner. He ate the salmon that he got and went to sleep. When he woke up he had a cup of coffee. Then he ate breakfast and went fishing.

  He got a bite on his pole and set it. It was a monster it fought for an hour and then he got it and it was Portage lakes biggest fish. When Jon found out about it he went out and usted his under water vision and the fish came. He saw the big one and it was another Portage lake record. It stayed that way forever.

Hunter found out and he went back to his normal life in Cadillac. But he will be back looking to brake the record. But Jon knew he would have the record forever.

Caleb replied “who are you and what do you want,”? Jon said “I am Professor Jon Acton and I train superheroes and mutants,” .  “What do you want with me,” he replied. And Jon said “ I have been watching you Caleb and I know something you have only guessed at… you are a superhero Caleb, but I don’t know if you are up to it Caleb,” . but Caleb said “ Try me,”

          Four days after Jon visited, Caleb escaped from prison!!! But not as a villain, he escaped as a hero!!!! He met with Jon and went to super HQ. when they got there Caleb changed his name to Plastic Man!! He also met other mutants like Cowboy Rick, Metal Woman, Laser Beam Brandin, and Kreachure Kyler.

He started training after he was tested for powers. He only had four powers and they were: super jump, huge plastic muscles as hard as rock, eating 10,000 lb of food, and super punch. Three days after Plastic Man started training the Super Mutant Team got a call, someone robbed the national bank!! They geared up and flew to the bank as fast as possible. When they got there Metal Woman said “SUPER MUTANT TEAM GO”!!!! WAM!! POW!! CRASH!!!! They beat up the robbers, but Mr. Villainious came on a floating device and stole the money and said, “You haven’t seen the last of me Super Mutant Team MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA”!!!!!!! Then he flew away!!!
