Before they were gonna ask for the check, a mysterious figure entered the building. Our duo was quite afraid, because they’ve never really seen anything like this before. The dark figure approached the table, and said: “Hey, I’m Skull Trooper. I’d like to invite you to my tournament.” Ramirez, raising an eyebrow, was interested. “Alright, I’m in. What’s the plan, where do we start?” The dark spooky figure said: “Right here”, and he took out a little snow globe shaped object from his backpack. He shook it, and it summoned a big crack in the sky, and Jonesy and Ramirez teleported out of it. “We’re falling to our death, we need to do something!” said Jonesy, but Ramirez with her quick instincts deployed her and grabbed Jonesy, they flew down to safety. They appeared at an eerie castle, on top of a hill. It had suddenly turned night, and they had no resources to survive. “Ugh, great”, “We’re gonna die” Said Jonesy and Ramirez in horror. All of a sudden, a pillar as dark as night, rose from the center of the castle. Weird zombie looking monsters slowly spawned into the world, and Jonesy and Ramirez had to quickly find shelter within the castle. They found a treasure chest in the main hall, with medical supplies, weapons, and materials. They began building reinforcements, to keep the zombies out, but it was no use. The zombies broke in as one big horde, and our duo was cornered. They took out their guns and began to firing in panic. Zombie by Zombie, they began to fall, and they had seemingly took them all out. However, a new wave of zombies respawned, and they were followed by more and more and more and more waves. “They must be coming from the pillar, it’s their source! We gotta destroy that thing!” Said Jonesy, and they took out their axes and began approaching the pillar. They worked together to break it, while combating the zombies who were opposing their plan. They almost had destroyed it, but one superpowered yellow Zombie brute appeared, and he meant business. He ran towards our duo, and hit by hit, they were losing. “Quick, run!” yelled Ramirez, and they ran behind a wall in the mansion, and applied bandages and med kits. “We aren’t gonna make it, we’re doomed!” screamed Ramirez, but Jonesy looked in her eyes with determination and said: “We can do it, let’s get the #1 Victory Royale!” They charged towards the pillar in unison, and finally broke it down to the last possible bit. The pillar exploded, and all the zombies were destroyed with it. “We did it Jonesy!” Screamed Ramirez, and they celebrated as they exited the castle! They felt accomplished, and they survived a seemingly impossible challenge. But as they began looking for the castle exit, Skull Trooper mysteriously appeared before them. “Congrats, you guys completed my tournament… However there is one last challenge.” said the Trooper. “No, we don’t want to do your stupid challenges, we almost just died!” said the duo. “Heheheh, silly mortals, you don’t have a choice.” And they turned around only to find a purple force coming towards them, it was a storm filled with rapid lightning and toxic rain. Skull Trooper vanished, and our duo had another task on their hands…  RUN!!!

One of the friends Chris, was a bit skeptical about the situation considering the fact that the owner of the house had died 3 weeks ago and no one knew how. Around the house were blood stains, mummies, used syringes, and giant spider webs. As they walked up the steps to the door, Chris stops in his tracks and says “STOP, this isn't a good idea” Nate and Ellis were determined to get Chris over his fears and step into the house. They told him they’d buy him Chick-fil-a if he’d go into the house. As they walked in, the door slammed shut behind them and locked. The kids were freaking out and then they saw a trail of toilet paper with a giant spider on it. They followed the toilet paper down to the basement. There they laid their eyes on a creepy mummy. The mummy then attacked the boys and killed all but one. The brute kid, Nate. The dead spirits of Chris and Ellis encouraged Nate to fight off the wicked mummy. Since Nate is such a brute, of course he avenged his friends and killed the creepy mummy. Nate then found a samurai sword and slayed the rest of the monsters in the house. He sliced the door open and walked through in triumph. When walking down the stairs out of the house in glory, he then died as he fell and broke his neck.]]> 2018-10-31 17:15:32 UTC https://padlet.com/gail_sigelakis/m2az17mq47n5/wish/299092322 The Werewolf https://padlet.com/gail_sigelakis/m2az17mq47n5/wish/299092744 By Gavin,Spencer,Sean

Once upon a time, there was a shunned man from society. This was not because he had bad intent, but because he had a beast no mortal man could control. He was unmatched by any weapon man could make while his hostility was unmatched. He had a monster in his stomach . This monster was a werewolf and enjoyed the spread of blood on his claws.The problem is that the monster only comes out every 29.5 days on the scarcefull one. What really got him shunned was on the elusive blood moon as this creature holds no limits to the blood he spreads killing everything in its sight. ALL JUST FOR FUN.

He secretly did not believe in the afterlife. The pharaoh told his wife that he did not believe in the afterlife so she killed him in secret so she could become pharaoh. Since he did not believe in the afterlife his wife she did not preserve his organs but she did mummify him anyway. She built a small tomb for him because he did not need a big one. Since his organs were still there, due to her lack in experience of mummifying, so was his spirit. So he arose from his tomb and seeked help. Although, it was a bit too hard to do that considering he was a mummy now. He went into the city to go find a friend because he was lonely and was left out in the afterlife. When he got to the city, all the doors were shut and windows clasped, but he didn’t know why. The mummy was banging on the doors like no ones business. One of the Egyptians finally opened the doors, only to find a gruesome figure wrapped in linen pads all around the figure. The mummy opened his arms to the Egyptian to get a hug but the egyptian only cried in disgust. The mummy was really disappointed because he did not mean to scare the Egyptian. Everyone in the town heard the scream. The townspeople locked him up and were in the process of building a prison where he would not see day again. All of this happened because he did not believe in the afterlife.

   He preys at night, on the lonely and weak. The day he preyed on me it was a cold and sorrowful evening. I was on my daily walk home from work, but this walk was different from the others. On this walk home there was a sudden gust of wind on my face and a burst of screams were heard  from behind somewhere in the distance. I turned to look at where it came from, it had disappeared. Then in front of me I saw his eyes glowing red eyes and rounded off teeth and I said,” Not now Jeremiah”. His face turned with downcast, his body shifted farther and then he pounced. As soon as he moved his hind legs I knew it was over that was the most aggressive he had ever become.

The witch loved to play pranks, most horrific of nightmares. But the witch didn’t act without reason, for when she was a little sorcerer, she accidentally cast a spell that turned her parents into bananas. Ever since then she targets only banana lovers and seeks for a spell to be rid of all bananas and restore her parents. Recently, she had figured out a way to turn all bananas into dust. News of the witch’s discovery spread around, even reaching the ears of two, banana loving children by the names of Doris and Boris. They loved bananas more than anyone in Friccleville and just knew that they had to stop the witch from completing her plans. They decided to head towards the local wizard’s shop to find a potion to get rid of the dastardly witch. When they arrived, they found the wizard doing his daily yoga, and so Doris and Boris had to wait a few hours. Afterwards, the wizard agreed the make the potion, for he too loved bananas just as much as the two boys before him. He brewed a potion that would make the witch nauseous and eventually forget how to cast the spell, calling it “B-gon-Witch” and gave it to the children. The kids started on their journey to the witch’s hut that lay on the outskirts of town, in the magical forest for candy, called Yamumgae. As the kids were walking through the forest, they encountered a troll under a bridge who said “To pass this bridge you must answer my riddles 3.” The Doris and Boris went around the bridge as they cared not for riddles but only for bananas. Eventually, they arrived upon the witch’s hut, but the witch had been expecting them and set a trap for them. As they went closer to the hut before them, they fell into a pit and were trapped. The witch laughed, exclaiming, “You really thought you could stop me, The Great Witch Sigelakis, from destroying all bananas?” THe witch cackled. But as the witch was monologing, the kids threw the potion at her! She stumbled backwards, face planted, then passed out. The kids climbed out of the pit and headed back home, the witch woke not remembering how to destroy all bananas but realized how to brew a potion that could bring her parents back. The potion was a success and so with the help of her parents, the little witch continued to terrorize the people of Fricclevile.

~The End~

One day there was a clown named Woowoo  and his 2 friends, Chuck and Larry and they were planning to go to a haunted house later that evening. At about 9:00 they made their way to the haunted house. WooWoo said, “ This is not going to be scary at all!, you guys are wimps! Obviously I’m the bravest one here!!” Ten minutes later they arrived at a suspicious looking haunted house. “ Are you guys sure?”, said Chuck “ Why?, are you scared?” said Woowoo  “ NO WAY!”, repiled Chuck. As they step into the house they hear a door slam, Woowoo jumped a little bit but hoped that no one saw. . When Larry asked Woowoo if he jumped he immediately denied even though he knows that Larry saw him.As they were walking through the house on several occasions they either heard or saw something they could not explain. Meanwhile, Woowoo was still telling them that they were wimps and that he was the best at going through haunted houses. Chuck and Larry knew that he got scared at many things but they played along with it because they didn’t want to hurt his feelings for they knew there was a lot about Woowoo that they did not know. Through the haunted house occasionally people would walk by Woowoo and scream in fear. Chuck and Larry always had a feeling that something or someone was going to come out to scare them. Little to their knowledge Woowoo’s confidence would come with a price. Slowly, throughout the night each of the clown friends started dissapearing into strange rooms one by one . Chuck and Larry were never heard from again and the police never found a trace of anyone else that went missing that night. Whenever any of the other clowns that supposudley worked in the same department were asked about Woowoo they said that he has been dead for 20 years.]]> 2018-10-31 17:28:18 UTC https://padlet.com/gail_sigelakis/m2az17mq47n5/wish/299099445
