The Naughty Elf
by Alexandra Adamoski
Children, children, gather 'round and let me tell you the story
of the naughty old elf. You think elves are Santa's helpers, but some are cruel
and sly, so listen very carefully because maybe an elf will try to trick you
someday.
"Santa, Santa!"
"What is the matter now, Wendell?" Santa was talking
to his trusted and dependable elf.
"Well, the reindeer are bugging Rudolph again like last
year."
"Tell them to stop this minute."
"Yes Santa."
"Oh, and Wendell, get my sleight packed and ready to go
around the world for a test drive."
"Okay!" So off went Wendell, to pack up. Before you
knew it, Santa, his reindeer and Wendell were up in the air. Santa asked Wendell
to signal the reindeer to slow down and turn left. The reindeer turned by didn't
slow down and Wendell flew off the sleigh into the deep darkness.
Santa quickly pulled out his pocket watch cell phone and called
the other elves to meet him at the exact spot where Wendell fell. They searched
and searched but could not find him.
Santa sadly told the elves that they would have to find a
replacement for Wendell, his favorite. So Santa put an ad in the North Pole
News looking for a responsible elf. A couple of days later, Santa got a
reply from a cool little elf named Sam. Santa asked Sam to come and visit for a
while, so he did. Same acted kind and polite to get the job, of course, but he
was really a mischievous elf. Santa was fooled by his act and hired him.
Soon it was time to get ready for Christmas Eve. Santa asked Sam
to wrap the presents, but instead, Sam pulled the wrapping off and took the
presents out of their boxes. Everything Santa asked Sam to do, Sam would not do.
Santa fired him and went back one more time to look for poor Wendell. He went
around and around the spot where Wendell fell. In the fogginess, Santa saw
something small moving in the snow. As Santa got closer and closer, he saw....
WENDELL! Santa helped Wendell into the sleigh because he was near frozen. As
Wendell and Santa went back home, Santa told him, "Next time I'll
drive!"
The Sad Story
by Andrew Brotto
Once there was a little girl named Alyssa.
She lived in an old cabin in B.C. She always wanted to be a knight, but she knew
she would never be able to. One day, a knight came to her house and told
Alyssa's dad that he would have to fight in a battle to save B.C. That same day,
her dad left to begin training.
One afternoon, the family received a
letter that said, "Dear Alyssa, I have been at war for 3 days. It's been
terrible. I've lost 2 of my friends. Well, see you later. Love Dad"
Time passed until they received another
letter which said, "Dear Alyssa and Charlotte, I've got good news and bad
news. The good news is that we won the war against USA. The bad news is that
your father and husband has been killed. From the captain."
"But, but..." Alyssa was
speechless. With tears in her eyes, she ran upstairs to her room.
The next day, they checked the mail and
there was only an invitation to Vanessa's birthday party. Alyssa asked if she
could go to Vanessa's party.
"Your dad's funeral is on Dec. 3, but
I guess you don't have to go. Okay, it's your choice," said Mom.
Alyssa said, "I will think about
it." Alyssa decided that she would go to her dad's funeral and not to
Vanessa's party. The day of the funeral, Alyssa and her mom left early. They
decided to stop at A&W to eat. When they walked up to the door, they saw a
sign that read, "Due to the war, we are not open for the next 2
weeks."
Just the thought of the war brought back
memories for Alyssa and she started to cry. At the funeral, she found a seat in
the pews. The service started and lasted 3 hours. Once it was ended, they had
lunch at the church. Then they returned home and let the dog out to get some
exercise.
That afternoon, Alyssa and her mom sat
down and had a long talk about her father passing away, so that she could
understand what happened.
The Troll
by Alex Geisler
There once was an old Troll, who lived in
a retirement home. The Troll was very wise and smart. But he had a mystery that
not even the wisest could figure out.
It all started when the Troll was hit by a
rock when he had been sitting down minding his own business. "Ouch!"
the Troll yelled. "What was that?" he asked himself. The Troll found a
rock on the ground and looked around to see who or what had thrown it. There was
nothing there.
The next day, Troll sat in the same spot
again. He was hit again by another rock. "Ouch!" the Troll said again.
This time the Troll was suspicious.
He went upstairs where only the staff was
allowed to go to try and find out who kept hitting him with the rock. He walked
down the hallway until he came to a door. The Troll opened the door, walked in
the room, and found some bones sitting on an electric chair. Troll had a heart
attack he was so shocked. Three days later, someone found his body and buried it
under the retirement home.
Some say he haunts the retirement home,
and that it had been another spirit who had dropped the rock on the Troll's
head.
Under the Carpet

7:39 p.m.
Dear Diary,
Tonight it happened again. Papa is going
crazy trying to get rid of it. It all started about a year ago when we moved
here. The house was abandoned and papa said it was a great deal. But people in
our town said there was something strange about the house. They said that
everyone that lived there disappeared on Halloween. Papa told us they were just
fooling us. Papa thinks that it's just some sort of animal that got stuck under
the carpet, but I don't believe him. How could it live down under there? What
would it eat? Mom thinks that the carpet was just not put down properly. But I
think she is just scared. I think it's some sort of demon's head. That
would explain why it roles around. Anyway, mama says its time to go to bed. Good
night Diary.
October 31, 1978
11:58 p.m.
Dear Diary,
I can't fall asleep. I woke up to a
drumming sound coming form the living room. It's probably the demon head. I'll
just go and hit it on the head. That's what papa always does. I'll be right
back, Diary.
I'm back. Something happened. Something
terrible. Every time I hit it on the head it got bigger. I went to find mama and
papa but they weren't in their bed. I have to go diary. I'm scared and I am
going to call the police. I know I'm only supposed to call if it's an emergency
and it is. I can't find mama and papa, it's midnight on Halloween and there is a
demon head in my living room getting bigger by the second. Bye.
October 31, 1978
12:43 a.m.
Diary,
Hellllppppppppp! I called the police but
they said there was no such thing as a demon head! Now the head has grown almost
a full body, I can't find mama and papa and there is no one for miles. Oh my
goodness, I think I hear footsteps! Diary, help me! My door is rattling now!
It's opening! Hhhhhhheeeeeeeeelllllllllllllllllllppppppppppp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's going to eat me!
No one ever saw the family again.
The Polar
Express
by Andrew Brotto
Once there were two
boys and one girl. The girl's name was Hirmine and the boy's names were Harry
and Ron. Harry was the oldest, Ron was the youngest, and Hirmine was in the
middle. They were wizards and lived in the USA. Every summer they caught the
Polar Express.
One morning Harry,
Ron and Hirmine heard the Polar Express.
"Harry, Ron, get
up," yelled Hirmine. She was already dressed and ready to go.
"Quick,"
yelled Hirmine again. Harry and Ron quickly got dressed and went outside and
stood beside her. They waited and waited for one hour and finally the train
picked them up from the train station. Once they got on the train they talked
about spells. Once they finished talking about spells, Harry asked why they had
heard the train, but they had to wait one hour. Ron and Hirmine knew the answer.
"Is this a trick
question?" asked Ron.
"No," said
Harry. "I just wanted to know."
One hour passed by.
then they finally got to the castle. Once they got in the castle they all had to
go to the washroom. So they all went to the washroom and said that they would
meet at the pole. So they all met at the pole and then went to their classes.
The summer passed by
and it was time to go home. So early Saturday morning, Harry, Ron, and Hirmine
caught the train. While they were on the train, they saw a big flash.
"What was
that?" asked Ron.
"I don't
know," said Harry and Hirmine together. Once they got home, they went
outside into the forest nearby. Then Ron saw the flash again.
"See that?"
said Ron.
"Ah," said
Harry and Hirmine.
"But what was
that?" asked Hirmine.
"I don't
know," they said. They followed where the flash went.
"They have been
in the woods for one hour," said their dad.
"I think you
should go and see where they are," said their mom. So their dad went into
the forest. Once he was half way in, he heard something behind him. He turned
around and saw a half lizard/dragon creature. Before he knew it, the
lizard/dragon had eaten him whole and then he flew away.
Harry, Ron, and
Hirmine were walking and they saw their dad's bones on the ground.
"I bet the thing
got him," said Ron. Hirmine just looked at the bones and started to cry.
"It's
okay," said Ron and Harry together. They all heard a sound.
"What was
that?" They all turned around and saw the thing.
"Ah,"
yelled Harry, Ron and Hirmine. "The thing! Let's get it. It won't be hard
with our magic." So they all took their wands and the thing disappeared.
So Harry, Hirmine and
Ron went home and told the story. They all lived happily ever lasting.
When the Lights
Went Out
by April Potier
One odd day, a new
boy moved into the house next door to me. I went over to give a warm welcome. I
knocked on the door and the doorknob started to talk. I started to get freaked
out, so I ran home and locked the door. I looked out my window and saw a strange
kid who had a cape on. I thought to myself, it's close to Halloween, but isn't
it a little early?
The next day, I was
getting ready for school. When I got to school, all the lights were out.
Everybody was trying to put the lights back on. The new boy was the only one not
bumping into things. The principal announced that school was cancelled until
further notice. As I got home, I noticed several pets from the town surrounding
the boy's house. The cats were meowing like a baby's cry and the dogs were
howling. I hurried inside my house and locked the door. I tried to phone my mom,
but the phone was dead. The lights would not go on.
I was curious to see
what was going on in the house next door. I noticed that the pets were no longer
outside. I looked in one of the windows and it was too dark to see. I noticed
the door was open a little as if he was expecting a visitor. I slowly entered
the house. What I saw scared me to death. There were dead cats and dogs all over
the house, and there were traces of blood all over the floor. I walked around
the house and I could sense somebody following me. I turned around and there was
the boy hurt, with blood on the floor.
The next thing I
remember, I woke up in my house, with my parents there. I told them what I had
seen, but they didn't believe me. But who can explain all the pets that went
missing that day?
The Blizzard
by Adrienne Funk
It was a cool, winter
Saturday morning. The snow was fresh and crisp after a heavy snowfall the night
before. The Johnson family got up bright and early. Michael, the little 8 year
old of the Johnson family jumped up on his parents' bed.
"Good
morning!" he screamed.
"Morning
already?" groaned Dad.
"Bombs
away!" 9 year old Lisa yelled as she swooshed down on the bed. "Good
morning," she said.
"We'd better get
read," Mom said, looking out the window. "Hey, I have a great idea!
How about we go tobogganing today? Look outside, the snow is perfect!" Mom
suggested.
"Yippeeeee!"
Michael and Lisa yelled.
"That's a good
idea!" agreed Dad.
The whole family
raced around the house, brushing teeth, preparing breakfast and making beds.
After a successful breakfast and a relaxing cup of coffee, the family was ready
to go to the hill at Rossdale Hills. There is a beautiful view of sloping hills.
Surrounding the hills is a wide ravine with a rocky path leading from the city
to the hills. The Johnson's bumped along the rocky path, admiring the evergreen
trees and lightly falling snow. Michael and Lisa grabbed their sleds and
immediately slid down the hill. Over and over they slid down the hill, laughing
and joking, and racing each other down the hill. But then a huge wind blew
across the hills. It was bitter cold. The wind got more harsh and the snow
seemed to be packing itself down.
"Hurry, let's
all get together and hide under that huge evergreen tree, before we lose sight
of each other!" ordered Dad. The whole family huddled together and swiftly
tried to paw through the snow. Finally, they reached the tree, and they all
huddled together to keep warm. Behind the evergreen tree, it was slightly warmer
and the wind and snow of the harsh blizzard didn't seem so bad.
"Is everyone
alright?" Mom asked.
"The stupid
storm took our sledding away!" exclaimed Michael, who sounded very
disappointed.
"We can go
sledding right after the blizzard is over, but right now it is very important
that we stay together!" said Mom. After chatting about what kind of tricks
they were going to perform on their sleds, the wind and the snow died down. The
family stood up and slowly peeked around the huge tree which had been a very
faithful shelter to them for the past hour. Michael and Lisa yipped with joy and
gleefully ran for the large hills and immediately started sledding again.
The Johnson family
had quite an adventure. Good thing they stuck together!
Van Strikes
by Andrew
Once there was a very
evil vampire. His name is Van. Whoever went on Van's property was never seen
again. Every Halloween Van would go on a vacation. This Halloween, I heard
George say he would sneak in when Van was on vacation. When Van was packing up
to go on vacation, George was packing up to sneak into the Haunted House where
Van lives. Once Van drove away, George went in the Haunted House.
When George got in,
he decided to look around. But what he found was bones, blood, and that kind of
stuff. So he went and found a hiding spot and slept there for 8 days. Then one
morning, very early, he heard the garage door open, and quickly packed up all
the stuff he brought, but not in time. So he ran to his hiding spot.
George got back into
his hiding spot, and immediately started thinking of an escape plan. Then George
got an idea. He was going to wait until Van started to unpack. Then George would
jump out the window, hop over the fence and run home. When Van started to
unpack, George ran to the window and jumped out. While he was dropping, he saw a
medium-size rock and he was going to fall on it. He tried to move but he
couldn't. When he landed, he sprained his ankle. His plan worked, but he didn't
run home, he limped home.
Once George got home
he felt he should celebrate his safe return. So that night George called all of
his friends and had a masquerade party. They ate pizza and had a great time, but
was really weird was that nobody ever saw Van again!
Detention
Is More Than Trouble
by
Arianna Biasini
“Why us?”
groaned Claire.
“Why do we
have to go to detention?” moaned Kasey. Summer,
Clarke, Kasey, James, and Claire today all had to go to detention.
“This is
boring,” sighed Clarke.
CRACK!
“W-w-what was that?” asked Summer.
“Thunder,”
said Clarke. “Oh boy, the power
just went out”.
“This is the
worst!” complained Kasey.
“How come
James hasn’t said anything?” asked Summer.
They all looked where James was sitting.
“He’s
gone!” they all screamed. They
looked back at the board, and written in white chalk was “4 left to go.”
They all looked
out into the hallway, and saw the ghost of one of the teachers Mr. Demon.
He had died a few years ago. The
other day they took his trophy out of the display cabinet, and replaced it with
Clarke’s soccer trophy. “Kasey,
come on!” said Claire.
There was no
response. The ghost looked at them
and said “3 left to go!” and disappeared out of sight. The kids walked around the hallway.
“Everyone
here?” asked Summer.
“Here,” said
Clarke.
“Claire?”
asked Summer.
They both turned
around. “CLAIRE!” they both
screamed together.
RING…”Now
what?” asked Summer.
“Claire’s
cell phone!” yelled Clarke.
“It’s coming
from my locker!” exclaimed Summer. She
opened her locker and answered the phone. “Hello.”
“1 left to
go!” said the ghost.
Summer dropped
the cell phone on the ground. “I’m
the only one left,” she thought to herself.
“The trophy!” she said. She
went around the school and found some keys in the janitor’s closet.
As she approached the trophy cabinet, she heard footsteps in the
distance. Out of the corner of her
eye, Summer saw the ghost moving closer and closer to her.
Summer tried
every key but none of them worked. The
ghost came up to her and gave her a key. It
worked! Summer opened the cabinet
door, removed Clarke’s trophy from the shelf and replaced it with Mr.
Demon’s. “Happy?” she asked.
The ghost smiled and disappeared.
The lights came back
on, the weather changed for the better, and everyone came walking down the
hallway but couldn’t remember a thing about what had just happened.
So, Summer decided to keep it a secret forever.

The
Girls and the Two Fountains
By
Alysia Littke
Once there was a
girl whose name was Sally. Sally
was a nice little girl.
One day the wind
took her brother away from her, so she went and asked a wizard what to do.
The wizard said go and find the peace fountain and give in to the wind.
The next day the
little girl set off on her long journey. On her way she met another little girl who was looking for
the courage fountain. Her wizard
said that hers was beside the peace fountain.
One day they
found a cave so they went inside. Inside
they found two little fountains. They
looked at the names, one said peace, and the other said courage. They both
looked at each other and said, “We found them, we found them.”
Right then and there they started running.
They caught the wind and gave the fountains to it and got their brothers
back. They ran home and lived happily ever after.
Rat
named Raticus
by
Andrea Dunn
“Alexi,”
I called out. I am looking for my
best phantom friend in the whole Notre Dame building. I am having lots of trouble finding Alexi.
Oh well, I think as I float up to the Notre Dam bells.
I sit chanting ghost hymns to myself as I sit on the biggest bell that I
call pumpkin. As I was chanting I
heard a squeak and turned around to see Raticus the worst rat ever. “Hello my ugliness,” I teased.
“Don’t
annoy me,” he says. “ I carry
deadly disease,” he shrieks.
“You’re
forgetting one thing,” I say. “I’m dead.”
“Oh
yes, I forgot, but I’m not here to fight I just came to say that I am going to
Canada for a few weeks vacation,” Raticus said as he scampered off.
“I
tricked him, I am the sneakiest rat in the world,” Raticus laughed.
“Going to Canada for vacation, hah!” he laughed to himself again.
“He will never find out that I am going to take over Canada and then
over the world!” Raticus whistled to a dog that he had found roaming around
the building.
Friscut
came running and asked Raticus “Is it time to leave now?”
Raticus
snarled at him and said, “Now put this backpack on with all my supplies”.
Friscut did as he was told although it took him a long time because it
was very difficult. Once Friscut
got the backpack on Raticus jumped on his back and they were on their way to the
airport. It was a long run but
Friscut held on. When they got to
the airport they sneaked onto a flight that was headed for Ottawa. They found a place to hide in storage.
“Ahh,
just a few more hours and I will be the ruler of Canada,” Raticus said.
“What
will I get after all this hard work Raticus?” Friscut whined as he licked his
very sore paws.
“You
will get to be my body guard,” Raticus sneered. A few hours later the plane landed in Ottawa.
They were almost to their destination.
When they got off the plane, Friscut and Raticus hurried into the
restroom. They made sure no one was
in there. Raticus climbed up onto
Friscut’s nose so he could reach up and lock the door.
The Raticus started fumbling through his bag for a machine the size of a
camera. “ As you know, I am a
great genius,” said Raticus.
“I
didn’t know that,” said Friscut.
Raticus
frowned but went on, “I have made this little gadget that will turn us into
people. Now Friscut I have decided
that you shall be my body guard and I shall change into the Prime Minister.”
The procedure went quickly and so they were in front of the building
where the Prime Minister was. “Now
Friscut, this little machine I have right here will make everyone but the Prime
Minister sleep if I shoot it at the building,” Raticus said.
So that is what Raticus did and soon they were running through the
building looking for the Prime Minister. Finally
they found him. “Hello Mr.
Chretien, my name is Raticus and I am here to take over Canada,” Raticus
roared.
“You
d-definitely will not!” he said scared and startled at the same time.
“Oh yes I will,” Raticus laughed.
“Tie him up and put him in a closet,” Raticus said to Friscut.
Friscut did what he was told. After
standing for a few more minutes Raticus sat down and said gleefully “Canada
will have quite a surprise tomorrow.”
The
Nice but Scary Monster
By
Alysia Littke
Once
upon a time far off in the woods there was a little cabin.
In the cabin there lived a little woman, a little man, two children and a
dog. The little woman was fat and
did lots of chores. The little man
was handsome, tall and thin. The little boy was fat like his mom, was 8 years old and did
lots of chores. The little girl was
beautiful, tall and thin like her dad.
One
day something terrible happened. The
little girl was walking in the woods and a monster popped out of a bush, grabbed
her and took her to his castle. He
put her in a cage.
Now
this wasn’t just any monster, this monster was blue with purple, polka dots on
it. The monster’s name was Bloop.
The little girl always laughed when he said his name.
The monster was also awfully fat and could barely fit through his door.
This was funny to the little girl because she could fit through the door
just fine.
Bloop
loved the little girl, so one day he let her go outside and have some fresh air.
She was so happy she ran all the way home and got her mom, her dad, her
brother, and her dog. They followed
her to a bug castle, where they saw the monster.
When they saw the monster they were terrified!
But the little girl told them it was all right.
After
that the monster let them come in for some tea. They drank their tea, thanked him, and gave him a gift.
“We wish we could stay, it is so cozy here and so cold at our house,
please,” they begged.
Finally
he said, “Yes”.
Right
then and there they started dancing with glee.
After, they were tired and went to bed and lived snug and happy in their
new home.

Horror
at the House
by
Austin Kawa
“What is
that?” said Kyle.
“I don’t
know,” said Austin, “Let’s go in.”
“I’m not
going to go in there.”
“Come on, it
won’t be that bad, it’s just an old house.”
“Still, I’m
not going in there.”
Then Austin said
“Fine, I will go alone.”
“Fine, go.
Let’s see if you come out crying!”
So Austin walked
in with no fear, while Kyle was waiting a big Booooooom happened and he ran into
the house. When he got into the house there was no sign of Austin. Kyle walked
in the living room as quiet as he could. He called “Austin! Austin!”
Then Austin
called back “Kyle, what do you want?” Kyle
called back “Where are you?”
“I’m
downstairs.”
So Kyle ran down
the stairs. When he was down the stairs he saw Austin looking for a way to open
the coffin on the table. Kyle ran to Austin with fear. Austin said, “We should
open it.”
Kyle said, “We
shouldn’t.”
But Austin just
opened it with no care at all! When he opened it there was a dead man with a
note that said whoever opened this coffin would be cursed. They ran as fast as
they could back home. When they got home they told their parents all about it.
They just started laughing at them. After all of that they went to the library
to find a book on vampires. They found one and it said to end the curse you
would have to put a stake through his heart. So that’s what they did. They got
a stake and some onions. They left the house at 6:00, the sun was going down and
it was getting darker and when they got there it was pitch black. They were so
scared. They went into the house. When they were in the house they went down the
stairs and the coffin was opened. They knew that the person in the coffin was
somewhere in the house. They looked around for him. Then a few minutes later the
man grabbed Austin but then Kyle took the stake and stabbed him in the stomach.
They went home and they were happy.

The
Mud Monster
by
Adrienne Funk
Robert
Johnson, age 10 was walking in the ravine behind his house. Robert had a serious
homework problem. He had to write a spooky Halloween story for the next day! He
walked on and on through the ravine. It was late October, almost Halloween
night. It had been a rainy day at school, which made Robert even more
frustrated.
Then
Robert heard a small branch cracking behind him. He whirled around to see a
gigantic brown monster towering above him! The monster seemed to be made of mud!
The mud monster roared and growled. Robert screamed and ran as fast as he could,
getting deeper and deeper into the woods. Then, panting and puffing, Robert felt
a drop of water on his face. A couple seconds later a whole downpour of water
fell from the sky. The mud monster screeched a horrible high-pitched sound!
Robert covered his ears and glanced behind him. There the mud monster lay, in a
large puddle of brown liquid. Robert sighed and sat down, drenched, by a tree to
catch his breath. Robert had never been so terrified in his life.
As
he reached his home he realized that it was getting late and that he had
homework to do. That is when his brilliant idea came to mind!
The
next day at school, Robert received his grade from his teacher, he grinned and
thought to himself, I owe it all to the mud monster!
The
Dark Thing
by Alana Winter
It
all started when I was playing at the park and the dark thing pulled me under…
It
was all muddy and cold down there and I still could not see the dark things face
or body it was all black. It finally spoke, “You must be Charlie. Am I
right?”
“Yes
you are, oh mighty great one,” I never heard myself speak these words but I
just didn’t want to die that day. The Black thing laughed so hard tears
streamed down his face.
“You
are mistaken, little one, I am not mighty at all.”
Of
course he wasn’t mighty, I just happen to be nice and scared.
“So
who are you?”
“I
am someone you know but obviously do not recognize.”
“Who
are you?” I said again.
“Yes,
you must know, child, I am Joe Salinsky,” and he pulled off his disguise.
“What
the Salinsky that lives beside me?”
“Yep
that would be me.”
“So
if you were my neighbor and friend why would you kidnap me?”
“Well,
I didn’t really kidnap you. I need your help. I have been watching you and you
seem to fit the job.”
“What,
why me, what job?”
“Well,
Charlie it isn’t a job it is a mission. I am a secret agent working for the
G.S.A. good spy association. First of all My name is not Joe Salinsky it is
Jemamy Cortez. But you will call by my spy name Augustan Aganorousta, Spanish
for powerful one named after my grandfather Smart man”.
“Powerful
one, do I have some sort of code name? This was exciting and so cool!”
“Yes,
you will go by Artingusta Aganarousta in Spanish for Strong one.”
“I
always got A in gym class.”
“So,
Strong one, you and I are stating the mission of MISSION INPUMKINABLE.”
“Powerful
One, So what exactly do we do?”
“Here
is a database and a locater. If you lose me, locate my beeper and for the
database, it has a picture of the thief and has what crime they did. Locate me
when you have something. The database will tell you the rest.”
“Bye.
If you run into trouble meet back down here in the hole.”
“Bye,
agent powerful one.”
“You
too, strong one. Good luck.”
“I
climbed out of the hole and ran to my house and into my bedroom to learn more
about the database.
Crime:
Spencer Kimball and Louis Thatcher have been blamed for robbery in a store every
Halloween. Agents have been not finished the case.
It
was almost Halloween night. In 2 nights another robbery would begin. I had to
find more about them and solve this case. Where would I begin? I could start by
going to this website I found in the database, ‘gsa.agent3457hkgfjgk5.com’.
This was a big help it had everything-location: Edmonton AB, Canada.
“CCCCCHHHHHAAAARRRRRRRLLLLLIIIIIIEEEEEE!”
screamed my mother. “Time to go pick up Aunt Martha’s birthday present.”
“But
Mom, can I stay home?”
“No!
Hurry.”
When
my mom was in the West Ed mall in some store I saw the Halloween Mission
Impumkinable thieves. They were just like the pictures. I had to follow them. I
first located Powerful one on the database!
“Agent
powerful, I have found the thieves. Meet me in the mall.” I hung up. I still
was on to them. They were in a clothing store and probably searching for
disguises. In about ten minutes, agent powerful with two other men was behind
me.
“Hello!
There, they are.” The two men pushed then to the ground and held them down.
Soon many police officers came and took them away. Agent Powerful came up to me.
“Good
job Agent Strong, mission complete!”
