The Travelling Ten's Nightmare


As a Ten Dollar Bill I have lived through many experiences. My most recent one though had to have been the most tragic. I was sitting in Aerin’s dark cramped wallet. I then heard my least favorite words “let’s go shopping.” I then felt the wallet being picked up and we were off to some place called South Park. The roar of an engine was soon heard and I knew we had to be in the car. It started to get really hot in the wallet from the car and all the dimes were singing “it’s getting hot in here, “I was quite annoyed. The car came to an abrupt stop and I started hearing words I did not like “Hot Topic, Forever 21, Rue 21, H&M, Wet Seal, Charlotte Russe, and the worst of all STARBUCKS.” Soon we started moving again and I knew my time was coming soon. Throughout the whole trip I heard, “he is cute, they are cute, I want it, I need it, this is perfect, you look fabulous.” Slowly all my friends disappeared to go on their next adventures and then I heard my worst nightmare STARBUCKS. I heard the whole order and the ding of the register. Next thing I knew I was being picked up and placed in a register drawer dealing with my worst nightmare hoping this stop would be over soon.

Extreme Volleyball

You start by getting on to the platform with your one other teammate. Next, you go to one of the three nets, since they are set up in a triangle formation. The other four opponents go to the other two nets. After everyone has made it onto their court; the three referees make sure all three teams are ready to play. Once everyone is clear the platform starts spinning but slow enough for the audience to be able to watch the game. The base ref hands the ball to the starting team which is decided like a regular volleyball game but with a dice instead of a coin. Once the ball is served each side has four hits to get the ball over to another court. To score a point the ball has to land in one of the other two courts inside the boundaries. To win the game you have to have 30 points but if the game is tied you have to win by two. The there are seven individual games in each match and it can end early if one team wins four games. The twist is that every six points the court you are on will disengage from the platform and switch from a different net but the ball will still be in play the whole time.

What the platform would look like:

Shark Camp

                I was on my annual camping trip with my family. We were camping in the same spot we have been since I was 5. I knew this place like the back of my hand, or so I thought I did. I was going on my routine night hike with my cousin Shaye. We were on the paved trail and we turned off onto one of the side trails we always took. Shaye wanted to go to the waterfall and watch the stars. We I knew we just had to go a little further down the trail and then take a right at the old Pine tree. After that we had to take a left at the old Willow. We took a right at the Pine and continued straight but the Willow never came. I looked around to see if I could see it anywhere but it was not in sight. Shaye and I tried our phones for service but did not have any service. Making Shaye and I stranded in the woods at night. A little while later, after shouting for help we heard rustling in the bushes. Since I was the older one I told her to wait where were while I went and checked it out. Once I got over to the bushes it smelt like fish. I was positive there was no water sources this close for it to smell fishy. I was pulled out of my thoughts by a scream which just happened to be the one of Shaye. I turned around with a scream myself. In front of me was a Shark, just floating in the air. At this point I knew it was the end, so I ran. I had a good lead, but when I looked back to see where it was I didn’t realize I was running into another ones mouth and everything went black.
