A crashing sound outside made me jump in my seat, but I can't wait any longer, I need to go to the bathroom. I walk all the way to the front bathroom, the plane lightly shaking from the storm outside. I close the door behind me, and look at myself in the mirror. I'm pretty sure the dark circles around my eyes are permanent now, not being able to sleep for the past seven days. I relieve myself and check my phone. There were seven messages from my grandma, saying to call her as soon as I arrived. A loud rumble outside followed by the plane tremor made me hurry up and wash my hands. My hand stopped on the handle when someone urgently knocked on the door. "Mam, we need you to go back to your seat," said a loud high pitched voice, "please, it will be safer if you sit down." I open the door and hurry back to my seat, 7A. I could barely hear the people shouting, demanding to know what was happening, over the sound of my own heart. A few kids were crying and yelling, scared of the thunders and the storm. "Please remain seated and calm. Fasten your-" was all I heard before the lights turned off and I felt like I was flying.]]> 2018-12-17 14:18:14 UTC https://padlet.com/stacydickerson20/6as0ss1619oe/wish/315165371 stacydickerson20 https://padlet.com/stacydickerson20/6as0ss1619oe/wish/315649455 I was around ten years old when this happened. 
I don't remember what day it was. My mom had to work during the night, so I stayed at my aunt's house. A very small house, with a bedroom and a kitchen. I laid down on the mattress near the door and heard my aunt laying down too. She is still a very religious woman, always going to the church and listening to religious songs. She deeply believes in god, the savior. Sometimes it's a little annoying to be honest. I look at the end of the mattress, and saw a shadow. 
A shadow with a resemblance of a human with long hair and wearing a long plain dress. It's not like I could really see any other details, it was dark, just the shape of the shadow. I pull the covers over my nose, the rest of my body under the heavy blankets, not daring to take my eyes off of it, and call for my aunt. "Juliana" I whisper at first, "Juliana" I whisper a bit louder. When she didn't reply, I yelled her name, still not moving my eyes. I heard her getting up to turn on the light, and there was nothing. No shadow. I tell her what happened and she didn't believe me, saying that her house was protected and that it was just my imagination, or maybe a trick of the light. 
She turned the light back off and the bed creaked when she turned around on the mattress. I look where the shadow had stood and there was nothing, not even a hint of light. I let my breath out, not realizing I was holding it. I still felt like something was strange though, my heart beat didn't slow down, my goosebumps didn't stop. I look to the right and there is nothing. I look to my left and freeze. It's by my side.  With a single movement, I bring the covers over my head and endured the heat until I fell asleep.]]> 2018-12-18 18:39:24 UTC https://padlet.com/stacydickerson20/6as0ss1619oe/wish/315649455 stacydickerson20 https://padlet.com/stacydickerson20/6as0ss1619oe/wish/316429501 Callista opened her eyes, and knew where she was. "Morning sunshine!!" the woman sitting on the chair next to her bed said. She was a healer from a few planets away. "Your injuries were worse than it looked, it took over a week to put your bones together, " the healer said. Callista scoffed, "I thought you were the best healer around here," Callista said with a grin. "I am, but you were really beaten up. What happened to you?" The healer walked to the side of the bed, "those injuries were dead serious." ]]> 2018-12-21 16:22:18 UTC https://padlet.com/stacydickerson20/6as0ss1619oe/wish/316429501
