The Waters of the North Atlantic

By Bennett James Kacenski Clark

Brr! I am scared to go on the Titanic! I am Evan Morrow, a boy that is about to go on a huge ship with my best friend AJ Lawrence, who is a brave person, who is scared of basically nothing. Anyways, I'm at the dock with my Mom, Sarah Morrow, and with my dad, Justin Morrow. I look up at the shiny boat with boldly printed, R.M.S. TITANIC on the side, and a lot of people say this is the unsinkable boat, but I had a different feeling, I had the feeling that the boat was going to sink.

Nick Ganz just gave me his goodbye, when he walked over and we talked for a long time. I tried every calming strategy I had, until I heard the horn of the boat getting ready to go. As we inched closer to the boat, the feeling got worse. Every part of my body was trembling, and I could not believe I agreed to go on with this thing, as I can predict something is going to happen to something or someone.

As we were seventh in line, I said, ”Is it okay if I can stay with Nick for a fun time?”

”No, you will have AJ with you.” My parents happily and calmly responded.

I was trembling, and with all of my heart, I was scared, and at this point, I was as scared as a rat, trying to fight a lion.

As it is our turn to get on the boat, the thoughts keep getting louder, the feelings keep getting worse, and as we get on the boat, and as I look back to land, and the boat starts slowly moving, I kept nervously thinking to myself, what if that was my last time on land. As we start going exploring on this huge ship, me and AJ start to explore by ourselves and we get lost. We asked a worker for help, but they were so mean!

They said, “Should have not done it! I'm not going to help you!”

We find the captain, and he starts to help us, he stops the ship, and we explore to find our parents. I can't remember what room we were in, so it was no help to us. So as we explore, we see the captain rushing back up, because the boat was going off of the course, rushing back. As I remember our room, we are all safe. But what if we thought we were safe, but we weren't, I kept thinking to myself.

As we go to bed, which keeps making me shake and tremble. I kept getting this voice in my head saying You are not safe, run. I eventually go to bed when I hear a very loud crash and boom, and we start to tilt. I was the last one to get out of the room, and all of the women and most of the children were on lifeboats already. As the boat started to tilt more, I wondered if the voice in my head was right.

“Am I really about to die?” I ask myself.

“No,” I responded to myself.

I run to the very edge of the boat seeing the lifeboats below, and I leap off of the third deck of the ship.

Splash! I crash into the ice cold water as it goes at least one hundred feet in the air. As I swim around with the last of my energy, and then a crazy thing happens. Someone seemed to grab me, even though no lifeboats were around. It was AJ. AJ is a brave person, and when I got on the boat, I could not thank him so much. He saved my life! He had sad news for me.

“I'm sorry to say this, but Justin is no longer alive.” AJ sadly said.

“No. How? Why?” I ask.

“When he ran out of the room, he ran down the stairs to the coal area because he thought it was a coal problem, and as you can see over there, it was a giant iceberg.” The shiny iceberg shimmered behind all of the dead bodies laying in the water.

As we row with all of our last power, we can faintly see Nick Ganz in the distance waving towards us, and I was getting ready to tell him all of the stuff that happened. As we touch land again I think to myself, that was not the last time I would see or touch land. As we go and tell Nick the stories that we experienced, whoever gets a hold of this book should go on to tell my stories too. After we were done getting reset, we went to get my dads favorite food, which was chicken and steak, in honor of his passion, hard work, and loyalty.

“He was the best dad ever. Justin Morrow.” I whisper to myself.

The First Day of Freedom

by Sebastian

THWIP went the whip “OW,”!!! said Nat Robinsin “THAT HURT ALLOT,”!!

“I don’t care,” said a White Man. “Go chop some wood”

“OK FINE I’ll go chop some wood,”.

“good cuz if you don’t I’ll whip you again you deserve worse,” said the White Man. "You never get anything done,”.

Nat walked to the woodpile. It was the 1850s in the state of Mississippi. Nat was born there, but he was born a slave. His whole life, he had been bossed and beaten.

His best friend Ravin was at the woodpile. “Uhhhhhhh what a jerk am I right? Meet me at night in my owners cellar. I have a plan to escape. Also make sure no one else follows you there,” said Ravin.

The night, the sky was full of stars. Nat ran to Ravin's owner's cellar.

“Okay you’re here. Did anyone follow you here?" said Ravin

“No,” said Nat.

“ok,” “did you bring any ration’s,”? said Ravin

“yes but just a few potato scraps from my owner's cellar,” Nat said.

STOMP STOMP STOMP “ WHERE  ARE YOU DON'T MAKE ME WHIP YOU,” THWIP went the whip.  Nat knew that sound way too well.

Nat froze like a rock. “then we run ok do it now,” said Nat “go go go now we Escape now,” they both ran like cheetahs catching prey. “THE FOREST IS CLOS ITS RIGHT THERE! GO AS FAST AS YOU CAN,” said Nat

“BE QUIETER” said Ravin.”OR THEY’LL CATCH US”.

Nat and Ravin have had both ran to the forest.“Whoooooooooowy Im tir”—

“SHHHHH Nat be quiet we don’t know if we’re alone out here”.

“Okay okay I’ll be quiet but I really don’t understand what the fuss is”.

“Were miles away from them that's no way they are all the way out here,” said Nat.

“Ok I think it’s safe now,” said Ravin.

SNAP went a twig. “Stay still,” said Ravin.

“Hands up,” said a random voice. Nat and Ravin turned around tarifide. They had stumbled upon a southern workplace.

It had been five minutes since Nat and Ravin had been cough. THWING SOMETHING HAD FLOWN THRU THE. AIR AND HIT A PERSON IN THE HEAD!!! Thankfully Ravin and Nat were ok. Nat and Ravin both though. That who ever threw that stone had great aim. And more and more rocks flew through the air. By the last rock all of the people. That had captured Nat and Ravin. Were knocked out then a person came out of a bush and said “follow me”.

Nat was about to ask something but then the person said “by the way my name is Harriet Tubman. If you were wondering I’ve guided over 1000 people. To freedom so your safe with me”.

It had been a week since Nat and Ravin had joined Harriet. And it was a very starry night all of a sudden Harriet said. “My dad taught me that the brightest. Light in the sky. Points north where everyone is free. And the best part is his dad and his. dads dad taught them that too”.

“Wow that is extraordinary Harriet” said Nat.

“Harriet, your family sounds amazing,” said Ravin.

“Thank you, my family is very appreciative to. And I took that trait to well were here. The Underground Railroad”

Nat and Ravins jaws dropped. When they saw white and black people working all together. Ravin and Nat both thought the same thing I feel super safe here.

The “Unsinkable” ship

By: Alayna Femida Javed

It was my second day on the Titanic and I had been very very bored. Also, a little bit to know about me. My favorite food is caviar and bread, and I’m from Great Britain.

”Daddy why didn’t you take me on a trip somewhere else that’s not on a boat to New York. We have been floating for so long, I can’t take it anymore.”

”Claire, there are many people that have been hoping to get to see the grand reveal

for this “unsinkable” ship with 840 rooms, let alone ride it.”

CRASH!

“Well folks it seems like we hit an iceberg that’s about 400 feet! get on the lifeboats now!” Exclaimed Dave [The first officer].

Me and my dad rushed to the lifeboats but it was already full, not to mention we were running as fast as a cheetah.

“I think there are lifeboats on the other side of the ship!” My dad directed.

When we got to the other lifeboats there was only room for one more and my dad went in the last seat.

“Abandon ship!”screamed my dad.

“ But dad Women and children first!”

But before he could hear me the lifeboats had already floated off in the distance. Suddenly the ship started sinking at a rapid speed.

I panicked and started to get out of the boat. After that I swam as fast as I could, I was running on water. By the time I was a safe distance from the boat, it had fully sunk and I was the only one that wasn’t on the lifeboat. I was used to being indoors and being treated like a princess [Frankly because I am the princess of Great Britain] , but for now I was a stranded person in the ocean. I couldn’t think of a place that was near the North Atlantic Ocean at the time because all of that had happened.

I was so exhausted from swimming until I heard something coming, I prayed that it wasn’t something big coming to crush me, but luckily it was another lifeboat. I quickly hopped on it and thought to myself was this a coincidence or was it for a reason. Either way I was so happy that all of that had ended but, I can’t survive being on a lifeboat for the rest of my life.

I floated for two hours straight and then finally I found a nearby island. Joyful, I hopped out of the boat and swam toward the island. When I reached the island I was greeted so nicely by a young man “Hello!” He exclaimed.

2 Years later…

This is my home Portugal, the Titanic had a big impact on my life but I like this a lot better now. The people are more friendly, the food is better [Not to mention the caviar and bread] Bottom line is the titanic is behind me and I’m a lot happier.

The End!

The Dark Sky

By: Eric Ford

BOOOOOOOOOOM! BOOOOOOOM! BOOOOOOOM!

“Is that the sound of bombs? Sounds like it’s happening near the base of Pearl Harbor!” I said to my friend Soder. We had been playing football near the beach all morning. Soon we learned on the radio that It was the Japanese government who bombed my beloved island.

When we realized they were shooting at us, Soder yelled

"Run, Isroku!"

We needed to find somewhere to hide from the bombs. We ran home to my house as fast as we could. I was really scared.

“Ahhhhhh!” Said Soder Chik chik bam!. Sirens wailing!

“Come on Soder, run”! As we finally made it closer to my beloved childhood home, I realized that no one was there. My stomach was in knots. Where are my parents? What would my father want me to do? Soder and I decided to just hide, we were so afraid and weren’t sure what was happening, or why. I was really scared and it was really dark so we just decided to go to sleep. When we woke up it was really quiet

“Come on Soder, let's go find some food and help.”

“Okay” said Soder so we walked and found my bearded dragon

“Apocalypse!”, high on a palm tree. “

There you are, I thought you were dead” I cried. Apocalypse was dark red and dark black. Of my two pets, and even though I love my dog Coco, admittedly apocalypse is my favorite pet. I’m so glad I found him, I will continue to search for coco, poor girl.  After Soder and I found him food and water to drink, I was thinking about how glad I am that he is okay. I was shivering and scared so we just tried to find help and kept walking. I heard people crying but I don’t know where and it made me believe that I won't find my dad. Five hours later we were exhausted and needed food fast. Soder found a random spear and decided to go spear fishing and caught a few fish.

When we got home we cooked the fish and it  turned out to be really good

“Mmmm” said Soder. 2 days later we were walking in Maui until we found my dad resting under a tree.

“Dad! I can’t believe I found you. I thought I will never find you, how's your leg doing” I said

“oh good I thought I would never find you either but stay quiet. I saw some Japanese soldiers."

"But dad I don’t know what to do” i said

“lets just walk home” said dad. Two hours later we ran into the Japanese soldiers.

“Sutoppu” said the Japanese soldier, in English it means stop, they were pointing big long guns at us

“we are just walking home,” I said.

“Ok we believe you, we will let you pass” I was so scared, when we got home we went to sleep because of how exhausted we were. Seven days later we found my mom and Soder’s family eating fish.

“Mom” I yelled “mom dad” Soder yelled

“I missed you guys so much” Soder yelled. 10 weeks later of depression and anxiety

“Isoroku! we got plane tickets that got delayed” mom yelled “yes yes yes! Let’s go” I yelled.

The Boston Tea Party of 1773

By: Grant H. Ashby

I am walking down the wet cobblestones of Battery Street with my friend, Jimmy Longford. We are headed to work on The Blue Whale, our fishing schooner. We’re 26-year-old patriots getting ready to set sail from Boston Harbor.                       “I wonder why the British are taxing all of the tea so much, Alex!” Says Jimmy. “I don’t like it at all. It’s so expensive we had to skip our morning tea!”

As we got on The Blue Whale I started to think about lunch later that day and what we were going to eat. That’s right I thought, three cups of tea, bread, and  apples. I reminded Jimmy that we were going to have to pay taxes for the tea.

“We’re practically going to sell the fish we catch for the amount of taxes on the tea we're going to have to pay!” I say to Jimmy as we pull our fishing rods out and set sail. Later that night, at the tavern blowing some steam, we overhear a group of men talking about stopping the British so they don’t get any more tax money. I ask them about it and a man says

“We are going to throw tea off of a boat arriving tomorrow morning. We would love to have two young patriots such as yourselves join us.” Jimmy and I looked at each other and immediately said, “Yes!!!”

The next morning, we went to the dock to wait for the group of men to show up. It was 6:00 in the morning and then we saw them. “You ready boys? We have two hours to throw as much over as we can before the unloading crew gets here.” one of them said. Jimmy and I both responded “we certainly are.” Just then the boat pulled into the harbor. We got on a boat called The Dartmouth ready to throw the tea into the harbor.

As soon as we kicked open the cargo hold door, all of us shouted, “Let us throw the tea overboard!” Immediately, Jimmy grabbed one of the boxes of tea and chucked it into the Boston Harbor! Then everybody else on The Dartmouth, even me, followed his lead throwing the tea off the boat. We were still throwing the tea into the harbor and we were running out of time. Jimmy and I thought we weren’t going to make it because we were supposed to go back in 5 minutes and still had 20 boxes of tea left. We threw the tea ferociously into the water. “ONE BOX LEFT!” I shouted. I threw the last box of tea in the water and we ran off the boat!

Later that night, people  were talking all about the tea we threw into the harbor. They called it “The Boston Tea Party.” Everybody in town thought it was crazy to do that and not get caught by the police, or anybody that was going to report them. “Wow. Somebody must have told someone to get the whole town to hear about it.” I said.                                                                                                                         ”Yeah. It’s crazy how fast it happens.” Said Jimmy, “I thought we were going to keep it a secret.”                                                                                                                       “I wonder who did it?” Jimmy said.

5 years, 3 months, and 16 days later, on the battlefield, “I can’t believe we started a war!” Jimmy said,

“Me too!” I said, ducking in the trench. “I wonder when the war will end. We’ve been fighting for four and a half years!” I said, I looked around and saw the guns firing and the men laying on the ground and said “what have we done?”

THE END

Going to Ohio.

By: Paula

Hi my name is Max, I live in the United States of America, with my friend Chase.

There are 300 German soldiers that want to get everybody out of the village. But the one thing that the soldiers want to find is me somehow they saw me and thought that I was going somewhere to hide. I invited my friend Chase to come over and hide with me, and he said yes so we went somewhere where the soldiers couldn’t find us in spain.

One day  3 German soldier came and found us because a man told them where we were. So we went out the back door. The next day we  escaped.

When we expected we went to a boat that took us to Ohio. That was a safe place to live. It took us 13 days to get there. And then we rented a hotel and relaxed.

The next day the war ended and we had an awesome  time in Ohio.

The Ohio story 🐶.

hikken’s story!

by hunter fawcett

In 1492, Hikken was 18 years old.  He lived on an island near North America along with a whole group of Native Americans. The island had sand, trees, and  sun. They also ate animals. He saw a ship in the middle of the day. Hikken saw a big ship with a flag. The people on the ship looked different than us, Hikken thought, Maybe we could be friends.

Hikken thought about why the Europeans are soldiers and have weapons.Then Hikken saw the Europeans bossing everyone.

“Get over here! Dance!!” yelled the captain. Hikken saw them Coming toward him. Hikken runs and the captain yells, “Get him!” Hikken ran like a cheetah but he tripped over a rock. Too late to run from the shoulders, Hikken said. The shoulder says capture him.

The soldiers captured Hikken that night while walking. Hikken saw a Mountain  but there was a secret door that opened. And there were a lot of jails cells with all Native Americans in the jail cells and there was only one left and that was for Hikken.

Hikken escapes from making a key out of wood

Later that morning. Hikken tells the people that there are more people that need help. Hikken showed the Secret door. They let all the people go and they were safe, they hid from the shoulders. They left and they were safe

Hikken learns not everyone can be trusted.

The Day That I’ll Never Forget

By:Leah Ferguson

First, it was a sunny marvelous day with no clouds in the doleful sky and I was listening to the radio with a couple of snacks nearby. Then all of a sudden the radio says that soldiers are coming near the Jews to capture them.I hurried up to close my curtains as soon as I heard it and turned off the lights so no one could see me. I needed to go to my grandparents house so I would have a better place to hide from the soldiers.

Next morning, I made it to my grandparents house. I knocked on the door and hopefully they will answer the door which they did. I came into the house my grandpa said  “What brings you here Rebecca your clothes and hair are a mess”? then I hear my grandma upstairs just waking up from her nap but I say to my grandpa that I was hiding from the soldiers but then my grandpa says back “Nonsense there are no soldiers around here” about to speak I just look down but then my grandpa says again “Come wanna have dinner I’m sure you haven’t ate in a while” so I nod my head and walk to the dinner table. The next morning I wake up and I want to travel to somewhere that is safe for me since I’m Jewish so I write a note that I’m going somewhere far away then put it on the table in my grandparents room.

Later on, when my grandparents woke up and received the note on the table looking sad when reading it my grandma said very despicable  “Rebecca will probably be fine” then my grandpa nodded and agreed. Later on when I was walking carefully down the sidewalk outside where it was very gloomy and gray.  I wonder if this is a good idea to be walking all by myself but then I had to tie my shoe lashes but when I was done when I looked up a huge tall scary man, before I can run away they grabbed me by my arm and said “what you doing here on this road” I was frozen in fear then said “i'm going to my parents” I said that to trick them but this a large truck comes and then everything goes black.

Next, I wake up the truck but then my head hurts a lot as soon as I noticed where I was I grab my book bag but it wasn’t there so I went to the bars on the truck and shouted out for help but nobody was there but later when I arrived at the station when I was waking inside I felt a drop down my cheek. Later when i'm outside with a sharp fence in front of me I came up with a plan so I looked around and found some big rocks and a tree piece I heard one of the soldiers come so I started to hurried I build a little latter up the fence so I climbed up I heard someone pulling the knob on the door so I hid behind a nearby tree I saw a soldier looking around for me but then went back inside disappointed so I ran when .

Finally after 2 months. Eventually I found my mom and dad and  made it without getting caught by the soldiers. We got in the car and drove to Sweden although it was raining so my clothes got a little wet. Now after 3 years the war ended and I was safe in Sweden and I was very delighted.

The Day the Skies Bled

By Mae Murdock

“Mom, look!” I said with excitement as I pointed out the car window. We had completed the drive from Parsippany to New York City. It was busy, as usual, and the Twin Towers looked particularly beautiful today. The car came to a stop at Grandpa’s apartment, and once mom found a place to park, I got out of the car, opened the trunk, and grabbed my backpack and Blizzard’s carrier. My chinchilla looked so happy when we got there. Mom was already outside of the car and waiting for me. I shuffled through the crowd and followed her inside Grandpa’s apartment.

Once we got to his room, he said, “Welcome! Get over here!” Our plans for today were to get breakfast at a bagel place, go to the Bronx park, get some amazing pizza, visit the Statue of Liberty, and go swimming. We dropped our stuff off, like my backpack and Blizzard’s carrier, and they headed out the door. I quickly fed Blizzard a baby carrot from the fridge, and then followed them. I was preparing for a day of excitement and fun. I shuffled down the stairs, towards Mom and Grandpa as we started a relaxing walk to breakfast.

I had a content smile on my face as I thought about the delicious bagels awaiting us when I saw something that looked like a large bird pierce the sky, towards the Twin Towers. When I got a closer look at it, I realized that it wasn’t a bird, it was a plane. It looked like it was either about to land or just took off.

I pointed at the plane that was fast approaching the iconic landmark, saying, “Look! That plane is about to hit the Twin Towers!”

Mom and Grandpa froze in terror as they saw it. I felt like yelling at the plane to alert them, but they, of course, wouldn’t hear me. It hit the north tower, and fiery explosions burst out of the building. The moment felt like it was in slow-motion.

“Patricia!” Mom yelled.

I ran over to her and said, “What’s happening?!”

Instead of answering, she opened her flip phone and dialed 911 immediately. Jet-black smoke poured out of the building and I grabbed mom and grandpa’s hand. I ran as fast as a cheetah. My only goal was to reach the apartment before the smoke got to us. I could barely hear my own thoughts overlapping in my head due to all the shrieking and screaming around us. We had finally reached the apartment and we rushed up to our room as fast as we could and shut the window to prevent toxic smog from getting in. Everything happened at once. Thousands of people died.

Everyone was panting hard, including me, but I was only glad that we survived. I opened Blizzard’s carrier and let her crawl and scurry on my lap. I lightly pet her fuzzy fur coat and lay down in the bed. Mom’s eyes were shockingly wide. Blizzard scurried around the couch, pressing buttons on the remote. She turned on the TV and it showed us a channel of a news reporter crying and talking about how the Twin Towers just crashed. About 20 minutes later, the south tower was hit as well. Mom said, “We’ll be leaving early tomorrow, when the smoke clears out.”

After that day, we returned to New Jersey, safe and sound. Our family already knew about what just happened. They felt so sorry for everyone in those towers when it happened. Mom also gave me a new collar for Blizzard with a heart made of rose quartz on it. She told me, “I was going to give it to you in New York, but I didn’t.” Everybody in my class knew I was there and they thought I was in there when it happened. My best friend, Lilly, was so upset when she found out that it happened, and she was so overjoyed when she found out that I was alive. After that, the horrific event became known as 9/11 because, well, it happened on September 11th, which I’m sure was planned. Even though nobody I knew was in there, I still felt so awful about it happening. It was all so sad, but at least I got my happy ending and survived.

The Day It All Came Falling Down

By: James Clinton Schacht

“Mom, me and Jim are going to McDonalds,” Nico said.

“Okay,” replied his Mom.

The day was September 10th, 2001. Nico, a 12 year old boy, his mom and his dad lived in an apartment building in New York City. Although Nico‘s best friend Jim hung out there a lot. By the time Nico and Jim got to McDonalds it was about 12:45. Nico ordered a Big Mac and for the jokes Jim ordered a Happy Meal.

Nico‘s dad went to work really really early and got home pretty late. He works as a sales clerk at the World Trade Center. On this particular day his dad would not get home at all. The day started out normal. Nico had breakfast, brushed his teeth and got ready for school but this day he would not go to school. Nico goes to P.S. 20 elementary school.

Around 8:15 in the morning Nico heard a really big boom

“WHAT THE  HECK WAS THAT!” yelled Nico

“Good God,” yelled mom “keep it down, some of the neighbors are still sleeping.”

“Not any more,” Replied Nico.

“Turn on the news” said his mom

“okay” replied Nico (on news) This just in, there has been a terrible accident at the north tower (TV shuts off)

Nico and his mom said simultaneously “DAD!”

About two hours later Nico was watching TV still not believing what happened to the north tower, but all of the sudden he heard another giant BOOOOOOOM!!!!!! What the heck, Nico thought was the south tower hit this time. thought Nico, little did he know it was the south tower.

“NEWS” yelled mom

“on it” replied Nico.

He turned on the TV to find that the south tower of the 2 twin towers had been hit. “Mom,” said Nico “this was definitely no accident”

A couple days later Nico was watching TV. He had gotten used to not having his dad around. But sometimes he just thought it wasn’t fair, then he remembered the other stuff that the news said just yesterday that an estimated 2,000+ people died in the attack. Just then he heard a knock on the front door. “Who is it?” shouted Nico.

“NICO LET ME IN”

so he went to the door and found Jim.

“Jim, what are you doing here?” Asked nico.

“I brought you a gift.” replied Jim

“Why?”  asked Nico “it belongs to you” said Jim. What The? Thought Nico “it’s… it’s… your dad” just then Nico’s dad limped out from behind the wall.

“DAD!” Screamed Nico “What, how? I thought you were dead, and mom was worried sick.” Nico’s dad helped him calm down and said “Yeah I was in the hospital and I hurt my left leg, and my right arm but I’m mostly better now.” Later that day about when Nico’s mom was supposed to  get home his dad hid and when his mom got home Nico’s dad came out from behind the chair and his mom was so relieved she could barely speak. And from then on life was okay for the Berg’s. Nico’s dad got a new job. And although they may never be the same again, Nico’s dad was very lucky to survive September 11,  2001.

The “Accident”

By:Eliza N. Erkfritz-Gay

The door flung open at my house

“She’s here!” I screamed at the top of my lungs, then Katie said

“Alexa!” Then she walked to the doormat to take off her shoes

“Katie!” I said, I ran to the door and we hugged each other. “Ready for the best sleepover ” I knew I was ready. I had a whole night planned ahead for us but I knew we couldn’t start the sleepover until she was ready. We raced up to the room, She had never really been in my room before. We usually have sleepovers at her house.

“I never knew you had two loft beds, a pearly white desk and a wall collage,” Katie said

“ You didn’t, ohhh because you have never been in my room since my sister left for college. But on the other hand, do you wanna know why this is gonna be the best sleepover EVER”

“Why?” She asked

“Because we’re HOME ALONE” I said, I thought I was excited but her face lit up when she heard the words ‘HOME ALONE’ it looked like she found gold but then

I asked “You good”

then Katie said “Can I be honest, I have never been home alone. I need to take notes … on September 11, 2001 I was home alone!”  Now I knew it was time, I walked over to grab the list from my white pearly desk and opened the clear drawer.

“Ok first thing on our list is make cupcakes,”  then out of the sudden we heard the TV turn on we went back down stairs we were in fright when we saw the headline.

‘Plane crashes into the Pentagon’ we looked at each other in fright as we sat down on the couch very slowly. The couch was so soft we basically fell into it.

“Many people are injured, please stay safe. We still don’t know what caused the plane to crash, it must have been an accident,” As the News Channel changed the subject and began talking about the weather we started to go to the kitchen. It kinda killed the vibe but we were ok.

“Let’s start the cupcakes ok?” I said trying to bring it back

“Ok,” She said in a reply. We got all the ingredients out and started to work. Then in about 30 mins they were out of the oven. Ok you would think all the drama was done but no the music stopped playing on my phone and we heard a weird beeping sound ‘ER ER ER ER!’ I took one look at it and I thought the world, well New York was gonna end…

‘ER ER ER ER PLANE CRASHED INTO ONE OF THE TWIN TOWERS IF YOU ARE CLOSE PLEASE EVACUATE’

“Alexa, are we gonna be ok?” Katie said, shaking like a leaf on a tree. I didn’t respond all I was thinking about was if my parents are ok; my dad works super close to the twin towers I’m freaking out, then I realized I have to say something,

“We're gonna be fine, we're not really really close, just close.” We just layed on the couch waiting for the cupcakes to cool off so we could ice them then it got even WORSE. We heard the noise again ‘ER ER ER A DIFFERENT PLANE HAS CRASHED TO THE OTHER TWIN TOWER’ why me why New York City!!! “

“CAN THIS JUST STOP!” I cried out loud “Sorry I didn’t mean to raise my voice like that I’m just cheerless.”

“I know especially when your parents are in work,” she said trying to give empathy to me

“Thanks, it helps,” As we continued to freak out and think things couldn’t get any worse, a short time passed by.

“Let’s go outside then if anything else happens we won’t know,” I said but I was gonna still wear my watch because if there's an emergency that involves us I would need to know. Then one of our other best friends, Liz was calling

“OMG girl have you seen the news!? Both of the twin towers collapsed!” She said with both excitement and fear in her tone.

“Wait what!?” I said trying to piece this together. If dad works by the twin towers, what is happening to dad is he ok what if he’s injured? I thought silently, wait a minute I can just call him on my watch, silly me. I put his number in and waited ‘Ring ring’ I waited and you will not believe what happened.

He picked up! “Dad dad are you there dad!”

“Yes sweetheart I’m here…” but as he said that it sounded like he was in pain.

”Dad are you ok you sound hurt, if you are please catch the next train or something out of town,” I said frantically.

“I didn’t want to be dramatic, but I think I twisted my ankle but I am on the train and I should be home in about 15 minutes,” he said.

“Ok, please don’t put pressure on the ankle that hurts it, " I said , asking like I’m a doctor.

“Can do, have to go bye,” he said as I hung up after I said said a quick ‘bye’. 14 minutes passed, the doorbell rang but Katie went to grab it,

“Hi Alexa’s Dad, welcome, we have some ice ready for you. Alexa told me what had happened. I hope you get better. She also texted your wife to make sure her mom came home to help take care of you,”she said nicely, another car pulled up it was my mom she came rushing in.

“I got here as soon as possible, where is your father?” she said out of breath, it was like she had just run a marathon. She went over and looked at his ankle. Good thing she’s a nurse.

“Dad, you never told us how you got hurt?” I said with curiosity in my voice,

“Well when I was trying to get home a block of cement fell but I didn’t notice so while I was running I tripped on it and that's how I twisted my ankle,” Dad said with a bag of ice on his ankle.

“Wow, todays been a day,” Mom said.

“Yup,” Katie and I said at the same time we laughed.

“Let’s see what tomorrow brings!” Dad jokes.

*THE ORDER OF THE EVENTS ARE DIFFERENT THEN IRL

THE PENTAGON GETS HIT AFTER THE TWIN TOWERS

The Depression of Hesitation

By Max Kafel

Boing, boing, boing, the ball bounced around as Miles and his best friend Max played on the boat.

“Come on Max, let's go inside of the boat, it's getting hot.” Miles said.

“Yeah, it is.” Max responded. The boys went inside because of the hot Atlantic Ocean air. Grumble, grumble. Max’s stomach growled.

“I am getting hungry.” Max said.

“Yeah, let’s go eat, I am also really hungry from playing so much, but why are we even going on this boat somewhere?” Miles asked.

“My parents said that it would be a better place to live but it’s very far.” Max responded. The two boys headed down to where their parents were.

“We're really hungry, can you make some food?” Asked the two.

“Sure.” Max’s mom said as the boat swayed in the water as they traveled from Poland to America.

“Finally we’re here!” Miles said with relief.

“We found an apartment, but where will Max’s apartment be?”

“He’s just in the other building next to us, we’ll still see him from time to time.” His dad said. As the three unpacked Miles found his favorite outfit! Then he got on the T-shirt, hoodie, and sweatpants to go over to Max’s place. As Miles marched over to Max’s suddenly a cop shouted.

“Hey!”

“Where are you going?” Then for a moment Miles stood in place thinking what to say but he couldn’t understand what the cop said.

“Why aren’t you in school?”

“What did you say?” Miles asked. He still didn’t understand what the cop said so he just went to Max’s place in confusion.

Then as Miles walked over to Max’s he saw them walking out sadly.

“What happened?” Miles asked confusedly.

“We got kicked out just because we spoke a different language and they were so mean.” Max said sadly.

“Well, maybe you can come over to our place. I'll ask my mom and dad.” Then suddenly Miles saw his mom and dad coming out of the apartment.

“Did you also get kicked out?” Miles asked in worrie.

“Yeah and now we’re homeless” As the day passed it was time for sleep and Miles did. Not like sleeping on the plain ground with no bed.

“Ahhh.” Miles said as woke up.

“Wait, where is Dad!”

“He died,” His mom said sadly…

As Miles and his mom stood there in the cemetery, they could only think about bad thoughts.

“Mom, how did Dad die? You never told me about it and I’m curious.” As Miles waited she didn’t respond and they went grocery shopping. As they got all their stuff Miles felt homesick and asked his mom.

“Can we go home?” Then with a sigh she said yes and they got ready to go on the boat to Poland. As they traveled back his mom told him what had happened to his father.

“It was just a regular day and he was coming back from getting the groceries  back but then suddenly he heard a shot. Boom, Boom, Boom. Then he tried to run away but it was too late. He was shot.” She said in a sad voice but kept in the tears.

“But from who?” Miles asked.

“They didn’t tell me and that's all I Know.” She said

Sizzle, sizzle. The pan sizzled as Miles’s Mom made scrambled eggs. It had been two years since Miles had had eggs which he had in  Chicago.

“Can I go to Max’s for a bit? It’s been a while.” Miles said.

“Sure but come back for lunch at least.” She said, As Miles walked around Kraków, he was thrilled to see Max and then he saw him at the statue of Smok Wawelski so he went over to him.

“Hey long time no see.” Miles said.

“Yeah, do you want to go to the park?” Max Asked.

“Sure, I’d love to.” Miles said with joy.

The Survivors

By: Zoey Clark

8:45 AM -  A few blocks away from the Pentagon, Washington D.C.

“Next up is Kent with traffic on the MIX” the taxi radio continued, “Thank you Vivian. So, we have a little bit of a jam…” it was September 11, 2001. The city around the Pentagon was loud and many civilians acted as usual.

“Maeve?” My best friend Ezra asked.

“Yeah?” I said spaced out looking at the window. I always loved looking at the view of the Pentagon and the city surrounding it. But, this time people seemed to be in a rush and seemed more… frantic.

“We are at the Pentagon Maeve,” Ezra said, trying to bring me back to consciousness.

“Wait!” The taxi driver slowly cranked up the volume to the radio.

“Breaking news: the north Twin Tower  has been hit by a plane. This terrible accident has just recently happened…” Startled, the taxi driver continues,

“That’s scary. You two be careful out there.” The taxi driver unlocks the car doors. Ezra and I step out of the taxi startled with a touch of confusion. I don’t blame us, it was so sudden. It was such a terrible accident.

***********

Our walk to the Pentagon was silent. Most civilians rushed around in shock. Some stayed still. Ezra and I were both so shocked, there was nothing to say. The event kept occupying my mind. Questions boomed over and over throughout my mind. How could this terrible accident happen? Did people know it was coming? Was it….planned? No, it couldn't be. No one would ever do such a terrible thing. When we got to the cross walk, I had this strange feeling come over me. It was such a strong feeling, it made me slightly shiver. Ezra seems to take notice of my weird feeling.

“Hey, are you okay?” Ezra asked with a concerned look on his face.

“Yeah, I mean I think I am. I just had this strange feeling. Almost like something really bad is going to happen.” I say trying to shake off whatever has become of me.

“Oh, I am sure that’s just anxiety. I understand, the plane crash was a terrible accident. I hope everyone is okay,” Ezra says as he goes up the stairs to the front door of the Pentagon. But, it didn’t feel like anxiety. I know what anxiety feels like, and this, this was different. As soon as Ezra reaches for the door, it opens wide with my dad standing right in front of us.

“Dad!” I exclaimed while hugging him.

“Hey Maeve, hey Ezra,” My dad said walking down the steps.

“Hi Mr. Vermont,” said Ezra looking down.

“I was just notified about the crash. I feel terrible for the people and their families that were involved,” My dad said as we walked into the parking lot. All of the sudden, out of the corner of my eye I saw a white bird? No. It had something written on it. It was a plane headed right for the Pentagon.

“Guys look!” I yelled as I pointed at the plane plummeting toward the ground.

“Get away from the building!!” My dad said as he grabbed both of our arms and dragged us across the parking lot. We weren’t able to get far until- BOOM! debris flies everywhere. I covered my eyes. By the time the debris had settled, I lifted my arm from my eyes. It was gone. All gone. The Pentagon was in ruins. At first, I thought I was dreaming, but usually at this point I would wake up. So, I knew it was real.

“Kids, everyone okay?” My dad asked. I’ve never heard him sound this urgent before.

“I am okay, it’s just my arm is so dusty,” I said while looking down.

“Oh my gosh, I am covered in debris!”

“Don’t panic, I am sure the police and medics are coming soon.” Dad says trying to stay calm. Dad is a military pilot and they are trained to deal with scary situations in just under 1 minute. Eventually, the medics and police came. They questioned us, and I saw the medics rush into the ruins of what used to be the Pentagon.

“Well, I hope everyone is okay! We NEED to go home and figure out what just happened.” I said while walking toward our car. One side was dusty, one side was fine.

“I agree. Everyone please get in the car.” Dad said holding the door open. We all step inside and as soon as we get our seatbelts on, dad immediately turns the radio on. “…we just got notice that the south Twin Tower has been hit. The U.S. is under attack…” I was shocked.

“Kids, we are going home and staying inside until tomorrow.” Dad said.

He sounded uneasy, well, we were all uneasy. We almost just died. By the time we got home and put on the news to be alert for any other attacks, that’s when we got notified of the last plane crash. Fortunately, this plane only crashed into a field in Pennsylvania. But, people still think to this day it was headed to the White House. That day, so many passengers died. Family and friends were lost. That day was 3 years ago on this exact day.

“Wow. I can’t believe that was 3 years ago,” Ezra says shocked. Since Ezra was reunited with his parents we have been talking on the phone lately. My dad now has a girlfriend named Maryanne. She’s really kind. And me? I am doing fine, I just enrolled in a high school and will be attending Penn High School this fall. Since the crash, people are rebuilding what was once the Twin Towers, the Pentagon, and have cleaned up the site in that one open field somewhere in Pennsylvania. Now, instead of the Twin Towers, a new project has begun to make the one and only, World Trade Center. This is the same with the Pentagon, still being rebuilt to this day.

The Escape

By: Aliya seals

*BANG!* Chris was out hunting with his friend named Max. “Dang it, I  just missed that deer.” Said Chris. Chris was trying to catch dinner meanwhile Max, Chris’s friend, was trying to catch a trophy.

“I’ll try” said Max also almost catching  a deer

*BOOM!* “You just hit a fox Max!” Exclaimed Chris.

*rustle rustle* “Did you hear that too,Max?”

“Yeah, probably just a fox or a rabbit.”  Said Max with a little fear in his voice. Suddenly there was a *Boom!*

“Was that you Max?” “N-no.” Answered Max with his hands trembling this time.

“Max…?”

“Yes?” Max answered, terrified.

“It's probably just other hunters. Right? But still we should probably go home now it’s getting late.” “Ok?”

“Ok.” Answered Max.

Jumping over roots and dodging bushes they were running home. They were both terrified that it might be Yankee soldiers. But when Max looks behind them he sees blue, then he sees Yankees with rifles.

“Chris! Those gunshots weren’t hunters, they're Yankees and they got rifles!”

“What?!”

“The Yankees have rifles!” yelled Max.

As they ran up to the cabin that Chris  lived in, another gunshot suddenly echoed through the forest. But luckily for them it nearly missed them and shot into a tree. The Yankees reloaded their gun and that gave Chris and Max time to enter the large cabin. When they got inside their home their mom was waiting for them at the front door. With her face pale she told Chris and Max “Yankees are gonna be having a huge battle at Franklin soon. And they are in town right now burning mills, houses and shops. Stealing food and looking for mill workers. You two need to hide.”

She took the two boys into the closet and locked the door. “Mom?” Asked Chris but all he heard was a gunshot and something thud to the ground. His mom was trying to beg for the Yankees not to take her kids to the Yankee mill.

Then they heard rustling Yankees were stealing food and blankets. They also heard banging. Then crackling. The cabin had been set on fire and they were stuck in a closet. You couldn’t see anything except for a shadow of what seemed like a broom. Chris and Max decided to try and kick the door down; they were getting hot and sweaty. As sweat and tears ran down Chris’s and Max’s face Chris counted  “1…2…3… kick!..”

Soon the door to the closet had been kicked down although the door was like a boulder, after a ton of hits it fell to the ground with a thud. Max and Chris ran out the back door down the mountain. Just then another gunshot echoed and Chris screamed. He had gotten shot in the foot. He tripped, he stumbled and he fell down l

the mountain. The only thing he saw before getting knocked out was the dull blue sky filled with smoke from guns, fires and cannons. He also saw trees, bushes and rabbits scattering away from his path.

A few hours later he woke up Chris and Max were in a small cave. Max had dragged Chris behind a tree on the lower part of the mountain and took him here. Chris looked at his foot and there was a bandage around it. Which was really cloth. Chris thanked Max and then told him that they could continue running somewhere so they were not found. Chris was pretty sure the Yankees were looking for mill workers just like his mom had told him.

They were running and running and running. Until they reached a river. “Max, we have to cross this river. Ok?”

“B-but I can't swim!” Max said with a look of fear in his eyes.

“I know but just jump.”

But then there was galloping and gunshots. The Yankees were having a battle at Franklin against the other soldiers. Chris pushed Max in the river when he wasn’t looking. But all he saw his friend do was sink.

“Chris help-” Max’s cry for help was drained out by gunshots, explosions and screaming. Chris jumped in the water afraid he was gonna get shot. As soon as he jumped he realized he  was also not able to swim because of his wounded foot. Both of them were drowning. Someone on the other side of the river saw them. They tried to reach out for them trying not to get shot at. But luckily he caught them.  They were both coughing and gasping for air. Chris had been so scared he couldn’t even thank the person that had saved them.

But later on he and Max brought themselves to thank the man that saved them. Chris reached out and hugged the man wrapping his arms around the man that saved them so tight the man was breathing so heavily after the hug. Then Max also hugged the man but not as tight. The two boys continued their journey to a safer place after the man gave them dry clothes and biscuits.

A few hours later they ran into another town. Lucky for Max he recognized the town. It was his grandma's town. He immediately ran to the house he recognized the most. As the two hugged each other it made Chris feel left out and lonely. His mom just died, his dad died a few years ago and his sister is in a different country. That was his only family left. And Max still had his sister, grandma, and mom and dad.

When Max offered to let Chris stay Chris got so happy that he also hugged Max really tight. Although the war was still going on he felt safe. “Thank you!” Said  Chris. Chris had never been so grateful before. As Chris lay in bed that night he thought about how the war was almost over and how it started. Also how his side of the war the confederates were losing. But now that he kind of had a new family he felt safe.

Towers

By Brooke Stevens

It was a sunny, warm, September day when suddenly,  BOOM!!!!, we all heard a big crash.

“What on earth was that!” Mama cried out.

Me and Annabelle ran outside to see a big dust cloud following people running down the streets, we both looked in shock. Mama turned on the news, and it turns out some terrorist hijacked a plane and crashed right into the twin towers. Annabelle started to cry.

“W-wait, doesn’t p-papa work in the t-towers..”

Then,  mama started to bawl on the flour. I was traumatized, there’s no way he would not die.. right?

Later, I ran upstairs and cried the hardest I have ever cried, I felt like I just got hit by a thousand bricks. Later, I thought I can’t believe someone would do that. We waited for the dust to pass, so we could see if we could find papa but then it happened again, BOOM!! Except this one was louder and sounded worse. We all ran out of the house and ran over to the two fallen towers. Mama grabbed her purse and ran out of the house, more and Annabelle followed. When we got there we saw broken building remains and dead bodies everywhere. This time I was actually traumatized. Mama looked around for papa with tears, sadly shet had no luck. We were swarmed like a gazelle with lions by people sobbing, and one person passed out. I felt so crummy and desperate. Mama ran so fast back to the house I could not catch up with her.

“Brooklyn, Take care of your sister,” she said to me.

“Wait Mama! Where are you going!?”

“To the hospital to look for your father”

Then the taxi drove away. She just left, just like that? Me and Annabelle prayed and prayed, then we heard the door knob twist, “Mom?” I yelled they didn’t respond, I tried again and still no luck, I felt kind of scared, then we heard a voice say,

“Yes darling?”

But it didn’t sound like mama, instead it sounded like our older brother Ben, i know this because it's his funny ‘mom impression’ and mama would never call us darling. Also before he left he stole money from papa and left and never came back. I grabbed my backpack and put in my piggy bank along with me and Annabelle’s clothes and stuffed animals. I also grabbed some lotion and chapstick just in case. Then I opened the window and looked out,

“no I can’t!” She yelled   “I'll go first ok?” I said as I jumped

“You have to jump, Annabelle”Finally, she jumped. We both ran far from the house, the fallen towers and all the horrible things happening. It was about a couple hours later when me and Annabelle got lost.

“sissy? What are we gonna do?”Annabelle asked

“I dunno yet, but I know we will all be safe and have a place to stay tonight.”

I thought about calling mama but i was scared she wouldn’t believe me and go back to the house. Later that afternoon I called the hospital and asked about mama and papa but they said they haven’t heard. I know the hospital is only about 15 minutes away but I had no clue where we are. What if the cops come and find you and take you and Annabelle to foster care? I promised Anna that we would have a place to stay tonight.

Just as I was thinking Annabelle was tapping my shoulder.

“Hey Brooklyn, look at that man, he looks just like bwenny!”

I mean Annabelle’s only 4, she doesn't really understand what happened and how to be polite. But her little thisp is so cute!

“Annabelle it's rude to point”

But as I took a closer look it really looked like Ben. When he started to follow us my heart felt like it dropped to my feet, it really was Ben. We started to run. Suddenly, we pulled into a small alley with bugs and trash all over the place. I saw Ben pass us. It felt like a bolder lifting of my shoulder of relief. Annabelle and I ran down the alley and found a man taking the trash of a local bakery out. It scared me so we hid behind a blue smelly dumpster. Right as he left, I had a marvelous idea!

“hey anna, have you ever been dumpster diving?”

I said as I jumped into the trash “ewww sissy, I am not doing that!”  “Fine, all grab us some food for a couple of hours, hopefully it’s enough” I jumped out of the trash with a useful amount of food. Me and Annabelle were walking down the streets when I saw a woman running towards us with her head turned behind, right when she looked straight, I saw, it was mama! She saw us and ran to us. After a couple minutes I told her everything. She told us that she got kicked out of the hospital because she ran in and started to barge into every room.

“Oh my goodness, you girls are so brave. She said with blissful tears in her eyes, "Wait, is Ben actually here?” She asked “yeah he is, and he is after us”

“ Okay girls, we need to get out of here, now” A few hours later  it felt like we were walking for days when Annabelle fell asleep, I mean I don’t blame her. It was 6:30. “Oh sweet Brooklyn, can you hold your sister?” Mama asked

I nod as she hands me Annabelle. Mama got hungry so I handed her some donuts and stale bread, i mean it's the best we can get right now.

Then it hit me “Wait mama, sense we saw Ben chasing us, doesn't that mean we can go back to the house, because he is out looking for us” I said with a big bright bold smile on my face,”oh yeah…BROOKLYN YOU'RE A GENIUS!” Mama yells.

. We walk back to the house and find papa sitting on the door steps, “Walter? Is that you?” Mama asked.

“Dada!” Anna yells joyfully. Later papa tells us that he was in the second building, and escaped right before the other plane could hit. I was so relieved he was okay. We all went in for a big hug. I was so happy and relieved that he was okay. Not all stories have happy endings, but this one sure does.

The Great Escape

“BOOM BANG!” Guns go off into the air. {five hours before} 1933 January 3:00pm. Young Rossebelle is going to the shops with her best friend Cathrine. They need to get food for Catherines younger brother Ben's birthday so they are getting his favorite food.

Suddenly an older man runs up to them telling them to go home and everyone else. “Hurry everyone go home, the Natzis are coming for war!”

No one believed him. Even Rosebelle and Catherine. “Denmark is in danger! They are taking away all the Jews!” Still no one. But Rosebelle is feeling just a little bit frightened because the problem is that she is Jewish,

“ I don't want German soldiers occupying over Denmark!” Yells a young girl

“What if the rumors are true?!” Rosebelle cry’s.

“They can’t be! And if they are, I will help you fight off all the bad guys!”

Catherine exclaims.

“Haha you still have a little bit of your five year old soul in you don't you Catherine?.”Rosebelle says “Hey I do not!” “Well come on, we still need to get the oat and raisin cookies!” Says Rosebelle. “Mmmm my favorite!” When they get back to the apartment Rosebelle feels like she needs to take off her necklace but then she thinks “That won’t happen, it's just a rumor.” So she keeps it on. Later that night Catherine’s family had  the whole entire apartment come over to Ben’s 3rd birthday party on the roof! Then Catherine’s parents say that Rosebelle can sleepover. Catherine and Rosebelle were so happy! Rosebelle gets ready to sleepover. She puts her stuff in Catherine's room where they both will be sleeping. They are starting to fall asleep when suddenly they hear loud banging at the door.

Cathrine’s mom opens the door and then suddenly comes into eye contact with two Natzi soldiers.

“Why hello! Why would you be knocking at our door late at night, may I ask?” Ms. Maree {Catherines mom} says.

The soldiers ignore her and walk right past her in a house suddenly just messing it up it seems like they are looking for something. Or someone… Once they finally get to Catherine’s bedroom they see Catherine and Rosebelle fast asleep. One of the soldiers wakes them up calmly and then says

“Ohh look what we have here. A Star of David necklace.”

Then Rosebelle comes to realize that they are talking about her! She started to come up with an excuse. “What’s that?” The soldiers point at her necklace. “Oh this? I just found this pretty necklace on the ground and decided to wear it.”

“Great excuse. You’re coming with us.” The soldiers say.

She gets taken out of the door when she is there crying and screaming.

She gets walked out of the apartment with the two soldiers but they can not seem to find her parents. They put her into a car and then they start driving off to the concentration camps. Little do the soldiers know that they left the car door unlocked. Which makes Rosebelle able to escape. But Rosebelle did not know either. She has already been in the car for 10 minutes still kicking, screaming and crying. But then she finally noticed that the door was unlocked! She swung the car door open and ran out of the car. The soldiers had no idea until they got to the camp. Luckily it's 4 hours away.

Rosebelle is running home like a cheetah! She is able to make it home and she finds her parents. “Mom, we have a great problem.” She tells them everything that is going on about the war.

“Oh sweetie we already know!” Rosebelle’s mom says.

“YOU DO?! I thought you were asleep!” “Shhh, they are always listening.” Rosebelle’s dad says in a quiet tone.

Rosebelle’s parents tell her how they have to get to Sweden. So they quietly board the boat and then it takes off going to Sweden. When they got there safely they found food and shelter. Then that is the end where they all reunite together and are in a happy safe place.

The Night The Titanic Sank By:Zazil Doyle This story starts during the year of 1912 on the deck of the Titanic where 10 year old Mary, her friend 10 year old Helen and her sister 7 year old Margaret had sneaked  onto the deck. They had escaped for the 10th time out of their 3rd class room. They had been able to escape because the sister's aunt, cruel and greedy Elizabeth had been taking a nap in her 1st class room before the sun came out. This was the girl’s third day on the Titanic by then the girl’s nerves had either dulled or vanished completely after all they said the Titanic was unsinkable. The three girls were wearing fur coats over their dresses Mary had a  dark purple dress while her friend Helen had a light blue dress on and her sister had a vibrant pink dress on. Mary was shaken, 40 minutes earlier there had been a loud screeching sound that had almost sent the girls into the freezing waters below as they were sneaking on deck. “What was that horrible sound?” Margaret asked for the hundredth time “For the last time we don’t know!” Mary said gritting her teeth “ I Hope we didn’t crash into something.” Helen said biting her lip  “Duck!” Mary said suddenly. The girls ducked right before a guard walked past them hiding behind the railing of the stairs but as the girls looked closer they saw the person was not a guard at all but“The captain!” Helen gasped. They kept  looking as the captain approached a guard and said in a deep voice “The ship is sinking. wake everyone up”.The second Mary processed what the captain said her heart started to beat as fast as a cheetah running at full speed.  The ship was going to sink!Suddenly a voice said angrily “Why are you three not in your room!”.  The girls turned and saw Elizabeth at the bottom of the stairs. After a while the girls were in their room once more, more nervous than ever. “Look! Water on the floor” Margaret exclaimed  The second Helen heard this she ran to the door, legs shaking underneath her dress.“The door is locked!” Helen screamed. All of a sudden a large spurt of water came into the room. The room started to flood fast. In a few minutes the water was up to Margaret's neck, soon enough the girls were desperately kicking the stay afloat.  All of a sudden there was a loud whoosh. The water had burst open the door and flooded out, taking the girls with it.Once the girls had their feet on the ground Mary gasped “we have to get off this ship! Let’s go to the deck.”The girls ran up the stairs drenched in water and onto the deck. The deak was crowded and you could see boats being lowered to the roaring waters from the stairs. The girls headed to the boats, starting to run to the boats. As they got closer the girls saw Elizabeth on the boat being lowered down.“We have to jump on” Helen gasped “it’s the only way to get off the ship” The girl’s were on the edge of the boat. Mary shaking climbed onto the rail then someone bumped into her sending her off the boat.  I am going to die  Mary thought as she fell but She landed on the boat Elizabeth was on safely. A little later  Margaret and Helen were on the boat too. People screamed when they jumped and when they landed on the boat but they were safe.

The Night The Titanic Sank By:Zazil Doyle This story starts during the year of 1912 on the deck of the Titanic where 10 year old Mary, her friend 10 year old Helen and her sister 7 year old Margaret had sneaked  onto the deck. They had escaped for the 10th time out of their 3rd class room. They had been able to escape because the sister's aunt, cruel and greedy Elizabeth had been taking a nap in her 1st class room before the sun came out. This was the girl’s third day on the Titanic by then the girl’s nerves had either dulled or vanished completely after all they said the Titanic was unsinkable. The three girls were wearing fur coats over their dresses Mary had a  dark purple dress while her friend Helen had a light blue dress on and her sister had a vibrant pink dress on. Mary was shaken, 40 minutes earlier there had been a loud screeching sound that had almost sent the girls into the freezing waters below as they were sneaking on deck. “What was that horrible sound?” Margaret asked for the hundredth time “For the last time we don’t know!” Mary said gritting her teeth “ I Hope we didn’t crash into something.” Helen said biting her lip  “Duck!” Mary said suddenly. The girls ducked right before a guard walked past them hiding behind the railing of the stairs but as the girls looked closer they saw the person was not a guard at all but“The captain!” Helen gasped. They kept  looking as the captain approached a guard and said in a deep voice “The ship is sinking. wake everyone up”.The second Mary processed what the captain said her heart started to beat as fast as a cheetah running at full speed.  The ship was going to sink!Suddenly a voice said angrily “Why are you three not in your room!”.  The girls turned and saw Elizabeth at the bottom of the stairs. After a while the girls were in their room once more, more nervous than ever. “Look! Water on the floor” Margaret exclaimed  The second Helen heard this she ran to the door, legs shaking underneath her dress.“The door is locked!” Helen screamed. All of a sudden a large spurt of water came into the room. The room started to flood fast. In a few minutes the water was up to Margaret's neck, soon enough the girls were desperately kicking the stay afloat.  All of a sudden there was a loud whoosh.

                   How I Escaped the Twin TowersBy: Jaxon .H 	BOOM! There was a loud noise and then there was a bang that made the ground rumble. Jason thought that it was normal and so did Liam but when they heard sounds from the north tower they knew something was wrong. Their dad John said “ Boys,  there’s something wrong. I think that a plane got hijacked by terrorists! We need to go now!”Jason and Liam didn’t know what was happening but they Knew they needed  to go because their dad was worried. When Jason was running from the loud noises with his brother and he asked his dad “What’s happening!?! His dad answered "the south tower is collapsing!”                       Suddenly Liam had tripped on a crack in the ground and fell. Liam screamed  “aah” Both his dad and his brother looked back but his dad told Jason “Go, I'll save Liam and we’ll catch up. Run as fast as you can and don’t stop!” 	After Liam heard what his dad said he didn't stop or look back and he just kept on running.                     Surprisingly He didn’t see his brother or dad but he knew that they would catch up. After all, his dad was pretty courageous and was in the army for 10 years and he knew how to deal with this stuff. It took a while for them to catch up. Jason thought  I really hope that they are ok. But what if they  didn’t make it out? Suddenly Jason heard his dad say “Jason!” He responded “Dad!”. He also noticed Liam running and he said “Liam!”.             By the time that they had almost made it out they heard another sound. BOOOOOOOM! Liam and Jason said what was that and their dad said “I don’t know” . Dad hopefully said“Let’s just hope that it wasn’t anything more grueling than what has happened already. when they had finally started to see exit signs they started to feel relieved but when they had actually got to the exit noticed that there was something in the way.               Liam said “ Now what are we going to do?” His dad replied “We have to look for another exit” Jason exclaimed “THERE ARE NO MORE!” Their dad said “You have to believe that we can find” “yea!” Said Liam. They dashed and they ran and they found more exit signs and this time they all crossed their fingers hoping that they had found an exit. When they looked they had seen the exit. The boys both shouted “ YESSSS!” their dad, relieved that they had found an exit said “we can’t stop now. “We have to get away from the building so none of the debris falls on us.”               When they ran from the building they heard something that sounded like it was airborne. Jason asked “What is that?” His brother said, "What the noise?” Their dad exclaimed “IT'S A PLANE! GET DOWN!” 	The last thing that they know there was a plane falling down from the sky and it had crashed into the building that they had just been in.                The boys had stopped to look back at what just happened. Their dad stopped for a second and directed “ Come on. We have no time to waste. We need to get out of here.” 	Their dad grabbed their arms and started to run with them. They heard something else crash but this time they didn’t look back at it.               (One year later)  Been one year since the attack of 9/11.  But Jason and his dad noticed something on the day after the attack. They noticed that Liam had a limp. Then the next time that they went to the doctor they had found out that Liam had a broken leg and that he would have to wear a cast for nine to twelve months.                     In the end Liam Jason and their father ended up to be okay. But they still go to big attractions like the twin towers. Their mother hates them going but she couldn't stop them.

“ Mommy Daddy It is time to wake up. We are late for brunch!”

I ‘m on the Titanic with my family/ the “Unsinkable ship” , best friends' family, And their dog Bastet . “ Okay mommy and daddy we have clothes on but, we have to wake Molly up!”

“Ok Ok” Mommy repeated .

Sadly we are really far away from my friend and it takes a long time for us to get there. You know me, I already have remembered where to go. My uncle Brent lives there, in New York where we are going. . It’s so funny I know how to get there, mom and dad don’t.

Right? Mommy thinks.

“Left.” I say.

Left? Daddy says.

“Right.”

Right? Mommy says.

“Straight.” And here we are.

Nock Nock Nock!

“ Who is it?” Says Molly’s mom

“The Dear’s.”

“ Oh come on in.”

“We can't.”

"Why?”

“We are late for brunch!”

Trust me yesterday we were late for so many things I can’t even count. Just then…

“ICE-BERG” Officer Ben Nick says in a horrified voice!

Ding Ding Ding! Millvian remembers that the first day on the boat Captain called everyone to the deck, and told us all of the safety rules bells, and whistles, and the ring things, is that there would be a ding ding ding run as fast as you can to a height and safe place. It was hard to get to the top of the boat all holding hands because everyone was trying to abandon the ship. Molly and of course basket did not know what was happening and did not take it seriously.

“Jump off the boat and get on the ice-berg it will be really fun.” I said.

Splash!

“Honey!!!!!!!!!!!”

We swam as fast as we could to the ice-berg. It was so cold. When we got to the ice-berg which was outstanding. Basket was already there wagging her tail like nothing happened but I saw her shivering. We all were shivering. We went to the top of the ice-berg and we could see all of the people dying in the cold water.

When the boat was under the water, the small boats did not see us. And the boats are long gone.

“Roof Roof.” I thought that Basket was cold but after a long time I saw a…

BOAT! They were coming for us “Help over here!” I was so cheerful when I saw the boat but at the same time I was as cold as a penguin. I was cold on the white ice-berg, and it was shaped like a mountain but just with cold snow. When we got on the boat they gave us food and blankets. We were safe because of them. For the time we were on their boat we had a really fun time with all of the other people on the boat. And when it was time to go, Me, Molly and even Basket got some tears out of us. “We love you and be safe for the rest of your trip.”

“Thank you.” Said the capital on the boat.

When we got back to New York we stayed there living with Brent because mommy and daddy did not make it but on the bright side I will spend all my life with Molly, Brent, and Basket. In a happy Family.

The End

By Nicholas Chang

I was camping in Yellowstone with my friend Ben when I saw a bright light in the sky.

“Do you know what that light is Timmy?” Ben asked.

“I don’t know what it is, but it is getting brighter.” I said.

Suddenly there was a green light and We started levitating and saw some weird creatures but then, I fell asleep.

I Woke up and saw a light in the sky. I was smaller and had small wings. What am I? I thought. Where am I? Becoming more worried. Then I realized I was in the Jurassic period and was a henkelotherium. But then I wasn’t worried about that because I saw a dinosaur coming towards me, I glided off the tree away from the dinosaur and landed safely. Then I hid behind a big ginkgo tree. The dinosaur looked around. It felt like I was there for ages. Then it Finally left.

I remembered that there was a meteor the size of Mount Everest that made the dinosaurs go extinct. Its name was the Chicxulub Impactor. I knew I had to find food and shelter. I looked for a small strong cave that could survive the impact. Then I hunted for food and some small vertebrates to make a pile. But then when I came back for the last time I saw a shadow in the cave.

The animal came out of the cave and it was a theropod microraptor. I was terrified. I ran but it flew towards me and it didn’t look like it was going to stop. I ran and ran and started to get tired but then, another mammal jumped out and knocked the theropod microraptor out of the air. I slowed down but I still was running to find a hiding spot. After the dinosaur got up it couldn’t find me and I went back to the cave and started to block the entrance.

I left a small hole in the entrance and I checked the meteor. I could see more details on Chicxulub and it was quickly getting bigger. I ran back inside and I blocked all of the entrance. It was as dark as midnight In the cave except that the entrance had tiny holes and light came through. I went deeper into the cave until I reached a cold stone wall. Then I heard a weird noise and the cave entrance lit up then BOOM. My ears hurt and then a shockwave knocked down what I made to block the entrance. I tried to look outside but it was too bright. But then Finally, it stopped. I looked outside and everything was Burnt. There were pieces of stone flying and falling everywhere.

After about 30 minutes I went outside, there were still stones falling but not as many. I decided it was unsafe so I went back in for the rest of the day and occasionally ate food.

The next day I went outside to look at what happend the trees were knocked over and burnt. There were craters everywhere, and the sky was cloudy and dark. But After a year the sky cleared up. Then after millions of years I Finally evolved back into a human.
