The Center of Time by ES

Heather was in the center of time, the line between dreams and reality. A step to the left, she’d be in the past, to the right - future, and forward, the present. Suddenly, a thing moving in the distance scared Heather, and she fell into the present.

World War 3: Germany + Sasquatch = World domination? by MR

Our source informs us that; Hitler’s great great grandson, Matz Hitler, found and trained an army of Sasquatch to obey military commands, Germany plans to use them to take over the world, (aka world war 3) Elomia is first on their list, could the U.S.A be next?

We talked to King Bono, and queen Bo, of Elomia to see what their separate battle plans were.

First king Bono;

Q. Elomia is a small country, how do you plan to beat Germany?
A. We are a small country, Germany will overthrow us in a minute! Then we will take Germany down from the inside! All the other countries will thank us. Elomia will take out Germany on our own.

Next queen Bo:

Q. What is your battle plan?
A. Germany learned it’s lesson long time ago they will not invade Elomia now, or ever.

Clearly these two are very different Strategies but when push comes to shove which do they use?

Then we interviewed President Joe Biden;

Q. If Germany and the Sasquatch, invade the USA next, what is your strategy
A. We will win the battle. The US has never fallen, and I don’t want to be the first president to let that happen.
Q. Are you aware or you might be the last president of the US ever has?
A. No. I was no-

Q. Thank you for your time Mr. President.

Last we sent some questions to President Frank Walker Steinmeier of Germany.

Q. Is it true, that Hitler’s great great grandson, found/trained an army of Sasquatch?
A. Yes, they are now my prides and joys.
Q. How do you plan to use your newly trained Sasquatch?
A. We will use them to benefit the rest of the world.

Does he think taking over the world would “benefit it?” Join us next week to find out.

War by MR

 War is a plague 

It’s like a bomb went off on my heart

Some think hurting others is success 

Others don’t agree that its for the best

Death is silencing

Like a cloud wrapped around my soul

The fighting rages on

it’s the only con

Of human life

Smoke, fire, and soot

Strip the earth

Of its natural

Beauty

Throw a grenade

Shoot a gun

Will it ever be done?

Everything about this

Lacks

Sanity

When all we need is a little 

Humanity

But in the end

Through the morning light

You can tell

The future is bright

But still I think

War is a plague

Short story Flash Fiction Entry #5

“Why do we have to go through a caaaveeeeee” Katie moaned for the thousandth time.  

I sighed “I already told you, mom can’t pick us up, and this is a shortcut, and if you stop whining and start walking, we’ll get there before midnight.” 

Katie replied, “we won’t get there before midnight, we’ll get lost, then die, then our corpses will be eaten by bats."

I said back, “that’s not going to happen, we’ll go home, have some dinner and in the morning, dad will be home to take us to school.” 

Katie rolled her eyes and we kept on walking.  

After a bit of silence, I noticed something glowing to my left, I stopped and turned.  

“Hey, Katie,” I called “there’s something in the rocks.” 

She ran over but I was closer and got there first. Quickly I picked up the rocks and pushed them to the side. When I was finally face to face with the source of the light, I covered my eyes because It was so bright. When I opened them again, the light became a soft glow in the dark, and pink. 

“Oh my gosh!” Katie squealed, “let me feel it!” 

Instinctively, I pushed the thing to my stomach, then looked at it. It was pinkish and had round eyes too big for its body. It also had a big goofy grin that would make your face melt. Foer some reason I squished it and it’s laugh sounded like a little kid trying to imitate Santa Claus.  

Katie looked over my shoulder. “What is it?” She asked. 

“I don’t know” I replied 

I handed the thing to Katie, who then ran around the room hugging it and saying “It’s so cute” repeatedly  

“Katie,” I sighed “If you can’t carry it and walk, I would prefer you leaving it here.” 

Katie moaned again, “we’re not getting out of this stupid cave, so this is how I’m spending my last moments.”  

“we’re not going to die!” I shouted, “And if you’re just going to stand here, I’ll go so at least one of us survives!” 

I started walking out of the part of the cave I was when and moved forward, choosing the next tunnels at random, and before I calmed down and thought things through, I was too far away to hear my sister say anything, or see the thing’s soft glow. I was alone, lots, and terrible.  

“I’m going to die here.” I told myself “I shouldn’t get more lost.”  

I wanted to find Katie, and apologize, and maybe that overcame whatever I called reason and started running, I ran until there was two pathways, left and straight. 

“there’s no way to figure out which way to go,” I told myself, “But wait, why was the left side glowing? Could it be the thing?”  

I took my chances and ran left, and any tunnel that was glowing, until I found the part of the cave where Katie was. She turned toward me.  

“Katie, I’m sorry.” I said, nearly crying. 

“Beca,” she asked. “How did you get back”  

“the thing,’ I said, pointing to the thing, “it made the tunnels I should go through glow, I think I can get us out of here.”  

Katie rolled her eyes, but she smiled and pet the things head. “We can try,” she replied.

            “Azealia, this is an invitation to the royal ball!” She exclaims 

            “May I go? Please?” 

            “Well, I don’t like the Idea of you going unsupervised, but how can you say now to royalty?!”

            “Oh! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!”

             “Guess what everyone!”  Azealia says as she skips into her classroom, invitation in hand.  “I’m invited to the royal ball!”

            A group of girls in the back of the room start laughing.

            “Sure you did!”  One says, “and so did my pet cat!”

            “It’s true!” Azealia says as she holds up the invitation.

            All of a sudden the teacher walks in.  “Please take your seats!” She says.

            Azealia skips to her seat.

            A girl in the back turns and whispers to another, “the fish took the bait!”  They share a devious grin, then turn their attention to the teacher.

            “you didn’t need too do that.” Azealia says, when their past the guard.

            “Nonsense!” The woman says, “by the way, I’m Mrs. Vanhovan”

            “I’m Azealia, and thanks!”

            “No problem!"

————The Next Day At School————

            Azealia walks into her classroom, half happy half sad.

            “Ok,” she says, “which one of you put a fake invitation into my mailbox?”

            “What’s the matter?”  A girl in the back asks “did the little baby get her dreams crushed?”

            “Alyssa?  It was you?”  Azealia asks sadly.

            All the girls in the back burst out laughing

            “How did she not suspect?” One asks.

            “Alyssa, is your last name Vanhovan?”  Azealia asks.

            Alyssa stops laughing “um, yeah?” She says.

            “Well your mom, Mrs. Vanhovan, took me as her plus one!” Azealia says laughing.

            “no she didn’t,”  Alyssa says nervously.

            “You better believe it! Because thanks to you, and your mom, I had the time of my life last night!” Azealia laughs so hard tears are brought to her eyes.

MR LINDEN’S LIBRARY Flash Fiction Entry #2

Book of spells. Introduction
(Written by John Kennedy) 60 years old

100. When you open this book, you will be possessed with a ticking time bomb. After 1 min you will fall asleep forever and nothing will be able to save you. This act will start when I say the word “book”. After I say the word “book” nobody will be able to see my deepest darkest secrets. I will hide this in one of the apartments near me.

THE END

John puts the book in the bookshelf in an empty house hoping that nobody will find the book, but he does not know that in 40 years there will be a nice surprise to await him……

This was the last book left from the linden library. Linden was John's best friend and wanted John to take care of all the books. But in 1990 there was a big robbery where all the books were stolen and only one was left. John added to the book so that nobody was going to be able to steal it.
40 years later

John noticed that a car had pulled up to his house on a Monday morning. He had no clue who it was he had a suspicion it was the owner telling him to cut the grass because its ugly. But instead, it was a beautiful girl with long hair and pretty high heels. He came out to say hi because he still did not know why she was here. But all he knew was that there was no way that she would move in, especially in the house next to him. John approached her with caution and said

‘Hello, my name is John and I live in the big house’ John points to his house.

The girl replied, “Hi my name is Emily I will be your new neighbor”

“Great” John said under his breath “I would not live there if I was you, it's very spooky you won’t like it.” Emily replied with

“I am sure that that's not true. I mean you're just too old to understand. ''You look like you are a million years old so stop talking and leave oldy. John's face went crazy red and said “I don't want you in my neighborhood. I will make sure that you will not be here long”

“Don’t touch the book.” John said. Once John walked away Emily said

“Yeah right, like an old man will know what he is talking about. “Now let me find my room and see what book this oldy is talking about.”

As Emily walked into her room she tripped on a water bottle on the floor then a bucket of ice-cold water was dumped on her head and then words appeared on the TV saying “don’t disrespect me or else” Emily was cold and scared and did not want anything to do with that oldy. Emily said, “be quiet or you will hear a piece of my mind.”

Then after she went to go take a long warm shower. She turned on the shower and cockroaches started coming out instead. She screamed so loud that almost everyone from Japan and Italy could hear her scream. And then she could hear the TV say “I have been here for 40 years, and I deserve respect. I promise the owner knows me and he will hear a piece of my mind about you. “After that she did not say anything. She turned off the shower and turned it back on and said “WARM WATER” she took a nice long shower and got her towel out, dried herself off and curled her hair. She went around the house putting food in the cabinets, putting new furniture in its spot, and then eating really hot soup. After that she went to the store to buy herself a TV and found one for a sweet price she went grocery shopping and shopping for some new clothes she bought a dress and some really pretty high heels she was ready to come home after her shopping spree, and her car did not want to start she tried and tried again but then she realized that she did not fill up the gas she called her insurance company's roadside assistance. And she got her car working in 2 hours..

After she got to her new TV she figured out that there was no TV in the box! She decided that she would buy the TV tomorrow and today she would organize her new bookshelf and also see what the oldy was talking about.

She was walking with 5 books in her hands and putting books in the bookshelf when she noticed a book that she did not bring from home. She said, “This must be what the oldy was talking about” She changed into a pair of PJs and decided that she would look at the book before bed. But she did not know what was going to happen at first she was scared that something bad would happen and had doubts upon opening the book but then she realized that an old man told her not to open the book and then said “oh right he is 100 years old I forgot. She took vitamins and was ready to open the book. Gathering all her stuff she collected her worries. “Like anything is going to happen” she said.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When she changed into PJs and got ready to go to bed she grabbed the book and put it on the bed she started reading and after a min passed she felt herself getting really tired she felt her body drifting to her pillow and her eyelids getting heavier and heavier every second she felt very sleepy, and she felt weird plants pricking her arm in that second she knew she stuffed up.
