         <description><![CDATA[<div>One day a man fell asleep while working at a construction site. As he slept on a big pile of wood, a big slimy gross termite crawled into his ear. He awoke with a shout! "Ouch! What was that!?". Then, he felt it--the incredible pain--the termite was chewing into his head!<br><br>The man rushed to the doctor, but by the time that he got there, it was too late.<br><br>"I can't get it out! It's too far in there! If I try I could hurt you", said the doctor.<br><br>"Well? What can I do?" the man winced.<br><br>"The way I see it, the only thing you can do is let that thing finish doing what it's doing and crawl through the other side of your head!"<br><br>Horrified and in agony, the man went back home. Over the next few weeks he felt every bite as the termite crawled its way through his head. Finally, after months, it wriggled out the other side. He captured the termite, wrapped a bandage around his swollen head, and rushed to the doctor to show him the creature.<br><br>When he arrived and showed the doctor the insect, the doctor's face turned pale white.<br><br>"What? What's the matter?" the man asked, still in agony.<br><br>"Well," said the doctor, "there's good news and there's bad news... the good news is, the termite is out of your head and it looks like by itself it didn't do too much damage." The doctor frowned as he shined his light in the man's ear.<br><br>"Yeah...", his gut-churning, "and what's the bad news?" the man asked.<br><br>"The bad news is that termite is female, and she just laid her eggs."<br><br>-Joseph</div>]]></description>

         <title>The little green bird</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Once upon a time, there was a little boy, who lived in the middle of a dark forest. He lived with an ugly old witch, who was like a mother to him... well, not a really nice mother. She was always telling him what to do and gave him no liberty to enjoy his life. He was a sad little boy, always oppressed and could never play. The witch controlled his whole life and everything he did. One day, when the little boy turned 11, he decided to go out into the forest to play, while the witch fell a sleep during the day. Sam, the boy, saw a beautiful green bird, which he had never seen before. There were only black birds around his little house. Sam decided to follow the bird so he could maybe find more of them. As Sam went deep into the forest, we was very afraid and darkness arrived with no moon. The poor powerless witch did not fly her broom on dark moonless nights. Sam had very little hope and was scared of the wolves howling. The little green bird could not be seen in the dark anymore, and the wolves were approaching. Sam found a river and decided to follow it. He did not learn how to swim, so he could not cross it. After hours walking deeper and deeper into the forest, 13 hungry wolves surrounded him. He could have cried and given up, but there was something about that bird that still gave him hope. As the wolves approached, Sam, scared, had no other option but to jump in the river. However, one of the wolves grabbed his shoe and pulled him back. Completely trapped with nowhere to go, Sam stood up so he could die fighting. This was the end for him. But, at that moment, the little bird showed up and suddenly, it turned into a beautiful princess, who, with her caring touch,  managed to get the wolves to back off. She had a bag of treats for them and while they ate, she helped Sam cross the shallow river and to a small town nearby. The princess vanished and Sam was alone in this town full of kids, with no adults. There, Sam met Ana, who was also 11 years old and he learned that the scariest witch of the forest had died that afternoon, which meant that her prisoner, a lost kid, would be set free by a fairy. Sam finally found a home and made friends and lived with many other kids who had also been found in the dark woods. Liberty had been found and Sam was very happy in his new home.  <br>- Bernard</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The boys of the neighborhood used to play soccer on the front yard of an abandoned house. The games lasted all afternoon and into the early night. After a long day of playing, they were regularly called to return home at sunset, but one Saturday night the parents let them enjoy themselves a little more past the setting of the sun, since the neighbors were having  a nice get together.</div><div> </div><div>The ball came and went from one side of the yard to the other, from where it was recovered without much trouble, until one of the kids kicked it through the window of the second floor of the dirty old house.</div><div> </div><div>As soon as they were preparing to climb a tree to go and look for it, the ball was thrown and returned from the inside.  “Is there anyone there?” Daniel asked with some caution, to which a shy, childish voice replied: "Yes! And I want to play with you!” All the kids were amazed but cautious and a bit scared,  and after a quick chat with the child, they decided to go up and play hide and seek with their new friend, from whom they could only see the shadow leaning out of the window. One of the girls counted to 100 and everyone hid, and after searching and searching, it became impossible for them to find the unknown child before they were called back their homes. </div><div> </div><div>Several days passed without news or contact with the unknown kid, it probably had to do that all the kids would have to return home before night fall.  At last one day, all of the neighborhood parents allowed the kids to stay out late to play again, and  when they peeked into the old house the unknown kid’s shadow appeared in the window inviting them to continue the game and find him.</div><div> </div><div>The kids refused immediately, because it seemed so tedious to have to look for him amongst an abandon old house, and because he was too good to at hiding, so they insisted that he go down to play soccer with them. The boy refused to play that game, and replied  negatively in a very sad tone. Noticing his mood change, the kids asked the mysterious boy. “Why don’t you want to play with us?”. “Because… I can’t ...” answered the boy, as if he had a knot in his throat, “the reason I can’t play is that the ghosts don’t have feet!” He added, and floated down from the second floor, before the incredulous glances of the kids, who dashed quickly and terrified to their homes.</div><div> </div><div> </div><div>By: Jackie Tequila</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>One dark night, there was a little girl. She heard a sound behind her closet door. She walked toward her closet, but she was too scared to open it! After school, she opened the door and she saw a big puddle of slime on the ground. It was a little dry so it couldn´t be alive. When she went to sleep that night, she heard a sound behind her closet door again. She thought that it was a ghost. She was scared! She opened the closet door. "Oh my!" she said. There was a shadow coming out the door. She slammed the door! On her way to school, she thought what could be back there. She thought and thought. The next day, she had a great idea, but she was going to get her stuff, she hear a bang bang bang. She was so frightened she even screamed. After she hear the bang, she went right under her bed. She thought that the bang was coming from the closet door. She opened the closet door and she saw.... a big shadow. But this time she didn't slam the door. She just looked at it. She was scared. out came her missing cat. His name was Titi. After all that happened, she opened her closet door but she was still scared of the dry slime on the ground. Every time she went inside and saw the puddle of dry slime, she would go around it. But she was still scared. The end.<br><br>By: Camille (9 years old)</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Based on a true story.<br><br>One late October night, two people were working in a great English school. Mr. Rey noticed someone outside the school, laying in front of the entrance. This person seemed very strange. He just laid there by the entrance, halfway on the sidewalk and half way on the road. Mr. Joe decided to call an officer, who took forever to arrive. The scary person just laid there... then he sat... and then he laid again. People walked by and were scared to approach this person. 45 minutes passed. When the officer finally arrived, the scary person was on his feet and walking away. The officer came in and told Mr. Rey and Mr. Joe that it was just a person who was very tired who had a long flight in. Seconds later, a loud scream came from the office next door. As the officer, Mr. Rey and Mr. Joe ran out, they saw a bat flying away. The officer ran away, back to the police station, terrified. No one was to be found in the office next door. Mr. Rey and Mr. Joe then knew who that scary person was! It was <strong>Vlad Draquili</strong>, an former student at the school, who could only study at night. Vlad was a great student and had learned English in only 3 months. On his last night at the school he said he had to fly out and would be back every October for more Florida juice. Mr. Rey and Mr. Joe were just happy Vlad was one of the teacher's brother for centuries.  <br><br>Small details have been modified in order to preserve the school's and employee's identities. <br><br>By: Bernard</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>It was a Saturday night ... The prom would start at 11:00 PM. All chic, neat, dressed for a gala night. Beautiful women, charming men.<br>Charles had gone to the ball alone. He had no girlfriend, though he was very handsome. At the dance he met a very pretty girl who was alone and was looking for someone to dance with.<br>Richard danced with her all night, and they talked for a long time. They ended up falling in love that night, but all that remained was conversation and romanticism. At the end of the prom, Charles promised he would take the girl away, but suddenly she disappeared. He searched her around the room for a long time. When he did not find it, he gave up and left.<br>On the way to his house, still very sad, he passed the graveyard and saw the girl entering there. He suspected what he had seen-suspected he was tired and dreaming.<br>When Charles got home, he could not sleep, nor did he stop thinking about the scene he had seen of the girl entering the graveyard.<br>When the day dawned, Charles could not stop himself and went to the graveyard. It was empty and he found no one. Passing one of the tombs, he found the girl's picture, dressed as in the ballroom. And there it was recorded that she had died ten years ago.<br>And one detail: No one saw the girl with whom Richard danced all night except him. No one else saw such a woman coming in or going out.<br>    Midnight, tired and sleepy, there I was, walking through the dirty, deserted streets of this city. My only companies were the Moon and some nocturnal animals. In one corner was a dog and a cat trying to find food, tossing trash cans. Elsewhere on the street, rats would come in and out of a sewer near the corner bakery. I was trying to remember why I was so late from work when I heard footsteps behind me.<br>                   ...<br>   I walked faster, without looking back. I began to shake and to sweat cold. Accelerated heart. Those steps kept chasing me. I'll be right over. There was nothing but shadows. Fear increased. Either I was going crazy, or I was being followed by something supernatural.<br>I ran desperately. I stopped at the first corner, panting. I looked again. Anything! I kept walking, trying to stay calm. It was not long before I got home.<br>Calm down, I finally stopped at my door. I took the knob, still a little shaken from the scare and the run. When I turned it on, the door did not open. My parents were probably asleep by now. I searched for my keys in every pocket I had. I did not find it.<br>The steps resumed. Fear doubled. He was kind of dizzy. I could not stand. The world was spinning. I tried to scream, but the voice did not come. That sound came closer and closer. There was no way out. I gathered all my strength and, in a sudden movement ... I fell out of bed and woke up<br><br>By<br><br>Hebert MM<br><br></div>]]></description>
