The Arena
By BJ
One special day at Skyreach center, Jeff and Tyler saw a boy sitting on a hockey bench. Jeff and Tyler went to the hockey bench. The boy was big and strong and looked very good at hockey. He had a scar on his neck and it looked really swollen. Jeff and Tyler decided to ask him to play hockey. They got to the bench from the stairs and asked him and the boy said,
“Yes, as long as there are no pucks, OK?”
“Why?” Tyler asked.
“Because” the boy told them.
“OK” Jeff replied, “Hey, what’s your name?” Jeff asked.
“Bryan, Bryan Jendrick, so are we going to skate or what?”
After an hour, Jeff and Bryan became good friends. So Jeff asked Bryan if he wanted to sleep over.
“You’ll need to ask my mom” Bryan said. “ If I ask her she’ll probably say NO”
Bryan pointed out his mom who was skating in the public skating area. Jeff was really surprised. The woman Bryan pointed to looked really old. She had white hair and wrinkly skin. She was using the boards as she skated around the arena.
“Why is Bryan’s mom so old?” Jeff thought to himself as he skated towards her.
When Jeff asked Bryan’s mother if Bryan could sleep over, Bryan’s mother said with sorrow,
“Bryan’s dead, he died from a puck in the throat 26 years ago.
When Jeff turned around, Bryan was gone.

The Scary House
By C K
I saw something in the trees. So I ran to see where it was going. It went into an old house. I walked to the door. The door opened. I ran and hid. A breeze shaped as a hand took my hand and took me in the house.
It was very dark and I saw a white thing. It was like a person but with white paint. It took me up the stairs and took me in a room. There was a skeleton laying on the floor. I walked up to a skeleton. It moved its hand. I ran out of the room, in fear. When I looked back, it was dancing.
I went into the next room. There were dead people in the room drinking tea. I liked tea and it calms me down so I joined them. We danced and drank tea. Then I went into the next room but all that was in that next room was a little girl crying. So I went in the room. She looked at me and got up and walked up to me and said, “Will you play with me?” So I played with her until it was time for me to go home.
The next day I wanted to play with the little girl again so I went to the place where the old house was. To my surprise, the old house was gone. I looked around and did not see it. All that was left was a tear lying on the ground. An old lady came up to me. I told her about the old house and the little girl inside. The old lady told me that she had known the little girl 20 years ago before she died. The little girl was really a ghost!

I was walking home from school when I saw a girl. She had long blond hair. Her eyes were the colour of the sky. She had big pink lips. Her face was as tanned as my T-shirt. She was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. She looked like she was 16 or 17. I walked over there and said,
“Hello, my name is Lee. What is your name?”
“My name?” she said.
“Yes,”she said, “Your name”.
I said “my name is Isabelle”. “I’m 16”. “How old are you”?
“Maybe you and I can go out sometime”?
“O.K.,” yelled Isabelle. “What time Lee”.
Around 8ish or 9ish Isabelle”.
Isabelle pecked his cheek with a little kiss. When she walked away there was no foot prints in the sand. She was floating and in the air just above the ground.”
Lee ran home and told his sister. He was so excited he passed out. When he woke up it was 7:30 a.m. He jumped out of bed, rushed out of the door and ran to school. All he thought about was Isabelle.

The girl told his brother to take him home.
The next day the brothers ran to the end of the forest. They saw the girl as she dropped a note and ran off the cliff. Sam looked where she jumped but she was not falling she was not even there.

Haunted House
By CM
I could hear the frightening footsteps of the people who lived here and when I turned around there was nobody there except for webs. The broken windows kept on opening and shutting so I crept up the stairs and made this creaking noise. I ran up the stairs and I saw a light in one room. Then I heard some more footsteps in the house again. I heard something calling me,
“You are nice”
“Where are you?” I asked.
“I’m in the room, on the bed” So I went into the bedroom and I saw her. She looked about 13 or 15 and had a nice beautiful dress on.
“ You look pretty in that dress” I said, “Who made it?”
“My mom made it” the girl said.
“Cool, but that must be a lot of knitting,” I replied.
“Why don’t you play on my computer?”
“Okay, but does it work?
“Yes it does”
“Where does your mom live?” I asked.
“I don’t know, I forget my address” the girl said.

We played video games, board games and all that game stuff. Then I went home. My mom asked about my day and I told her about spending time with the girl, playing on her computer. My mom said,
“What was her name?” Then I realized that I did not know her name.
The next morning I went back to the haunted house again and she was still there. So I played with her again.
“Oh, I never got your name?” I said.
“My name is Tiffany.”
“Oh I’ve got to go tell my mom that, I will be right back,” I said.
When I told my mom, she said,
“Oh that girl she sas murdered two years ago in her room on her bed sitting down and nobody knows how she died!”

As Tom was driving home one day, he heard on the radio that there was a girl named Kim trying to buy a house. The radio also said that she didn’t have enough money to buy a house. Tom wanted to help her, so when the radio said where the location of the house was he quickly went there.
When Tom arrived, he saw this old house with broken windows and the whole outside was black. Tom thought to himself,
“No wonder they needed a new house, this one is all broken!”
Tom slowly knocked on the door. An older woman opened it.
The old woman had a wrinkled face with gray hair. She looked like she had a witches face. Kim came to the door to see who it was.
“I am here to buy Kim and you a new house,” said Tom.
“But dad is not here,” said Kim.
“We can’t let Tom wait, that will be rude,” said Kim’s mother.
Kim and Kim’s mother went into Tom’s car and left. While Tom was driving he asked,
“What house do you want,”
Kim answered, “I want a blue and green house just like that one…STOP!!!!!!”
Tom quickly stopped the car and went in the showhome.Tom and Kim and her mother walked around the house to see what is was like. For some reason, Tom couldn’t hear the foot steps of Kim and Kim’s mother while they were walking.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, two hands from the floor grabbed him and Kim’s mother. Tom tried to hold them up but when Tom grabbed Kim’s hand, Kim and her mother both disappeared, and all that was left was mist. Tom quickly went back to Kim’s house.

By H W
I was at the swimming pool and I was practicing swimming under water when a girl walked over and asked if she could swim with me. I said,
“Sure.”
She was wearing an old bathing suit, it was bright green it had lace at the end. It was her turn to swim back and forth. She was a really good swimmer she swam back and forth with out taking a breath. She must have been able to hold her breath for a long time.
“It was kind of weird”, I thought. But I didn’t ask how she can hold her breath so long. She was a really good swimmer. So I asked her if she wanted to go to the deep end but she looked a little uneasy. Then she said,
“My name is Lora Swanson, what is your name?”
“ Kari Finn.” I answered. “ So you want to go to the deep end.”
She said, “ Sure”

She didn’t go in, all she did was sit on the edge. I was the only one who was swimming. No-one was talking and then all of a sudden she said,
“I live on Calamine Street at the flower shop. I live at the flower shop.
“I live downtown.” I replied while floating in the water.

Then all of a sudden I started to go down into the water. I felt a rushing pain in my right knee. It started to bleed then I started to run out of air. I started to go deeper and deeper into the water. Then I saw Lora she grabbed on to me. After a while I woke up and Lora was gone.
The next day my mom toke me to Calamine street to pick up my cousin. I looked across the street and saw the flower shop. I told my mom that I was going to see Lora. She said she go ahead so I did. I opened the door of the flower shop and I saw a tall old lady. I asked if Lora Swanson was there. The lady looked at me like I was asking a bad question. But she answered me even though it looked like she didn’t want to. Then she said,
“Lora Swanson drowned 14 years ago.”

While they were driving, Ben felt a cold breeze on his neck. He thought to himself, “It must be the back window!”
The hitchhiker told Ben about herself. They got to her house and she got out of the car. As Ben was looking the other way, she disappeared into her house.
Ben began driving again. As he was driving, he looked down on his seat and there was a scarf in his car. He stopped his car and turned his car around and drove as fast as he could to the girl’s house. When he got to the girl’s house, he knocked on the door. Her mother came to the door and he said,
“Your daughter left a scarf in my car”
The girl’s mother looked at him as if he had said something wrong. The mother told him that her daughter had died 50 years ago at the same set of lights where they had met. She had been walking along the street, going to a Halloween party. A car hit her into a tree and a sharp branch impaled her.

Once on an acreage lived a girl named Sara. She was ten years old and had light brown hair. Sara loved horses till a month ago but she still likes them a little. She stopped liking horses because her parents died in a horse race. Now she lives with her grandparents who want her to take riding lessons. Sara always said ‘NO WAY’ to them because of what happened.
One day Sara was walking to school and passed the horse academy. She knew that she would be early to school so she went in to see the horse. Next Sara went to the horse ring to see them run. A man came up beside her and said,
“Do you like horses young lady?” Sara turned and thought the man reminded her of her father.
“I don’t talk to strangers” whispered Sara.
“You must be Sara, George the chamipion’s daughter” replied the man.
“Yes I am,” agreed Sara “Did you know him?
“We were the best of friends until he died” replied the man. “Would you like me to teach you how to ride like him? asked the man.
Sara thought to herself, “Should I do it, or not, I know that my grandparents would let me do it”.
“ Yes I will go tell my grandparents after school” decided Sara.
“You have school” exclaimed the man, ”Better hurry and get there”.
Sara couldn’t wait until after schoolto take her first riding lesson. Then all of a sudden she remembered that she never wanted to do it. “Oh well, Sara said happily “I’ll take them anyhow, because the man was so nice”. So after school she went home and asked her grandmother if she could go to the riding academy for lessons.
“Of course, “ her grandmother agreed. Sara went back to the riding academy and saw the man there.
“Hey Mr, I’m here, are you ready to teach me? Sarah said with great enthusiasm, “I’m ready, let’s get started.”
An hour later, they were done and it was time to go home.
“I had a good time” thought Sara, ” I’ll see you tomorrow.”
Sara went to the riding academy twice a week, Tuesdays and Thursdays. After a few weeks, she knew how to ride a horse.
One day, Sara went back to the riding academy after school and she didn’t see the man anywhere. She looked and looked but she just couldn’t find him so Sara asked the manager if he had seen him.
He said, “Do you mean George?”
“I guess,…….. he didn’t tell me his name” said Sara.
“I’m sorry, he died two months ago, he was the champion. You look like his daughter”.
Sara gasped, “My Dad taught me how to ride a horse and he’s dead?

One day I was walking home from school and I saw an old school house. So I decided to go in. There were webs all over. The floorboards sauced. I heard something in the distance cry or moan and in the stairs there was a little girl about my age.
She had long brown hair with black eyes but there was something different about her. When she cried, no water came down on her cheeks and she had a cut right beside her eye.
I asked her if she wanted to come over for a while and she did. My Mom and Dad looked at me weirdly for some reason when I asked my dad to take a picture of us . We played hide and go seek and tag. Then we went to my attic and saw a whole bunch of pictures of my Mom and Dad’s friends. All of a sudden she wanted to go back to the school. I walked her there and she asked if I wanted to come in so I did. We walked up the stairs. There were two boys, they chased us all over the place. One of them pushed me down the stairs and the boys went off running. The girl helped me up. I only had a little scratch by my eye.
We made plans to meet at the schoolhouse the next day but when I went there, the school house was gone.

“No wonder they needed a new house, this one is all broken!”
Tom slowly knocked on the door. An older woman opened it.
The old woman had a wrinkled face with gray hair. She looked like she had a witches face. Kim came to the door to see who it was.
“I am here to buy Kim and you a new house,” said Tom.
“But dad is not here,” said Kim.
“We can’t let Tom wait, that will be rude,” said Kim’s mother.
Kim and Kim’s mother went into Tom’s car and left. While Tom was driving he asked,
“What house do you want,”
Kim answered, “I want a blue and green house just like that one…STOP!!!!!!”
Tom quickly stopped the car and went in the showhome.Tom and Kim and her mother walked around the house to see what is was like. For some reason, Tom couldn’t hear the foot steps of Kim and Kim’s mother while they were walking.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, two hands from the floor grabbed him and Kim’s mother. Tom tried to hold them up but when Tom grabbed Kim’s hand, Kim and her mother both disappeared, and all that was left was mist. Tom quickly went back to Kim’s house. There was a very old man standing at the door. Tom asked,
“Where is Kim and her mother?
The old man looked surprised.
“She died in a blue and green house 20 years ago!”

Swim
By H W
I was at the swimming pool and I was practicing swimming under water when a girl walked over and asked if she could swim with me. I said,
“Sure.”
She was wearing an old bathing suit, it was bright green it had lace at the end. It was her turn to swim back and forth. She was a really good swimmer she swam back and forth with out taking a breath. She must have been able to hold her breath for a long time.
“It was kind of weird”, I thought. But I didn’t ask how she can hold her breath so long. She was a really good swimmer. So I asked her if she wanted to go to the deep end but she looked a little uneasy. Then she said,
“My name is Lora Swanson, what is your name?”
“ Kari Finn.” I answered. “ So you want to go to the deep end.”
She said, “ Sure”

She didn’t go in, all she did was sit on the edge. I was the only one who was swimming. No-one was talking and then all of a sudden she said,
“I live on Calamine Street at the flower shop. I live at the flower shop.
“I live downtown.” I replied while floating in the water.

Then all of a sudden I started to go down into the water. I felt a rushing pain in my right knee. It started to bleed then I started to run out of air. I started to go deeper and deeper into the water. Then I saw Lora she grabbed on to me. After a while I woke up and Lora was gone.
The next day my mom toke me to Calamine street to pick up my cousin. I looked across the street and saw the flower shop. I told my mom that I was going to see Lora. She said she go ahead so I did. I opened the door of the flower shop and I saw a tall old lady. I asked if Lora Swanson was there. The lady looked at me like I was asking a bad question. But she answered me even though it looked like she didn’t want to. Then she said,
“Lora Swanson drowned 14 years ago.”

Ben began driving again. As he was driving, he looked down on his seat and there was a scarf in his car. He stopped his car and turned his car around and drove as fast as he could to the girl’s house. When he got to the girl’s house, he knocked on the door. Her mother came to the door and he said,
“Your daughter left a scarf in my car”
The girl’s mother looked at him as if he had said something wrong. The mother told him that her daughter had died 50 years ago at the same set of lights where they had met. She had been walking along the street, going to a Halloween party. A car hit her into a tree and a sharp branch impaled her.
After that day, Ben never picked up a hitchhiker again.

“Yes I am,” agreed Sara “Did you know him?
“We were the best of friends until he died” replied the man. “Would you like me to teach you how to ride like him? asked the man.

“ Yes I will go tell my grandparents after school” decided Sara.
“You have school” exclaimed the man, ”Better hurry and get there”.
Sara couldn’t wait until after schoolto take her first riding lesson.

“Of course, “ her grandmother agreed. Sara went back to the riding academy and saw the man there.
“Hey Mr, I’m here, are you ready to teach me? Sarah said with great enthusiasm, “I’m ready, let’s get started.”

“How about outside?”
“OK,” he replied.

July’s dad was just about to go down stairs to work but he thought July was talking to herself. He said,
“How are you talking to?”
“Oh sorry Dad, this is Freddy, Freddy this is my Dad.”
The dad thought that July was just playing so he went downstairs to work. He saw that there was a dead body missing. He ran back upstairs and said,

And he was gone.

The schoolhouse
By L S
One day I was walking home from school and I saw an old school house. So I decided to go in. There were webs all over. The floorboards sauced. I heard something in the distance cry or moan and in the stairs there was a little girl about my age.
She had long brown hair with black eyes but there was something different about her. When she cried, no water came down on her cheeks and she had a cut right beside her eye.
I asked her if she wanted to come over for a while and she did. My Mom and Dad looked at me weirdly for some reason when I asked my dad to take a picture of us . We played hide and go seek and tag. Then we went to my attic and saw a whole bunch of pictures of my Mom and Dad’s friends. All of a sudden she wanted to go back to the school. I walked her there and she asked if I wanted to come in so I did. We walked up the stairs. There were two boys, they chased us all over the place. One of them pushed me down the stairs and the boys went off running. The girl helped me up. I only had a little scratch by my eye.
We made plans to meet at the schoolhouse the next day but when I went there, the school house was gone.
