Just Darkness

A gun went off, disturbing the quietness of the night. Tim stood up on his porch, and

peered into the night. There was no moon, he couldn’t see a thing. He wondered who was

doing the shooting. Then all of a sudden there was a immense brightness that resembled that of the day time.  Since he couldn’t figure out who was shooting, he called the cops. About five minutes later they showed up and there was no one there nothing no trees no people no plants or animals. Just darkness this worried the cops severely. “dun dun”

Then Tim woke up in a strange place with strange beings with tubes sticking out of him.

He  felt a pain he had never felt before, he ached, and felt like his legs were being ripped off slowly. But when he look towards where his feet should be there was nothing; just darkness. then he began to smell an odor that cannot be described other than worse, than a pile of dead rotting skunks. He then slipped out of consciousness. “dun dun”

When he awoke he was in a tunnel with light at one end, and just darkness at the other end so he moved towards the light. He exited the tunnel only to find himself once again in a strange place, but unlike before this strange place had a calming effect he could see women and children with wings he then immediately realised where he was, and what was at the other end of the tunnel. He was very glad he had not gone away from the light.

The police were searching for the man that called 911 because he had heard gunshots. because there was no one where he said he was for that matter there was nothing within a one mile radius of where he said he was it was just darkness. They could not enter the darkness it as as if there was a invisible wall. The darkness was almost glowing as if it were lighting everything around it. So they called in a hazmat team to test it for radiation because no one had ever seen anything like it. When the hazmat team arrived they had radiation testers but they broke as soon as they came close to the darkness. “dun dun”

This made them think that it was emitting radiation

The House

One day someone named Bob was walking in the woods when he came up to a house. The house was old and very cold. It was slowly falling in on itself and was rotting. He decided to enter the house and see what was inside. When he entered the house, the door fell down. The whole house smelled like flowers, this worried Bob. He started to wonder why an old abandoned house would smell like freshly cut flowers.  When he investigated the smell more, he found fresh cut flowers in the basement, but they were not ordinary flowers; they were a rare flower found only in the Egyptian desert. Bob being a botanist;  he very quickly realized this, and they could not grow in Iowa where he was, but they were freshly cut. This did not make sense to him.  So he took the flowers to his lab for testing. The flowers had been cut only 45 five minutes before they were tested, and he had found them exactly forty four and a half minutes before testing. He went back and used his knowledge of criminal investigation to dust for fingerprints. He found absolutely no fingerprints other than his own, despite his search of the entire house. This made him wonder how they ended up there.He then went to the library and did some research on the house. He found out that it had once belonged to a sorcerer. This made him wonder if maybe the sorcerer put some sort of spell on the flowers to cause them to never decay. The library suddenly burst into flames as Bob was running out the back door of the library. He noticed that there was a person with a tall pointy hat. Bob thought this must be the sorcerer.Bob chased the man down the street to find out why he lit the library on fire. But a bus came between them, and he lost the sorcerer. This angered him very much because this very uniquely dressed man just lit a library on fire for no apparent reason, then he some how disappeared in a crowd of people in business suits. He then went home and ordered a pizza. When his pizza arrived, he paid for it. He thanked the delivery man. He sat down on the couch and ate his pizza while watching a show about plants on Netflix. When he woke up the next morning, he noticed that he was using a slice of pizza as a pillow. He turned off the tv and washed his face and brushed his teeth. He continued to research this sorcerer and his home. He found out that he had died in 1901, but his grave bell rang. They dug up the casket, and it was empty of everything, but a small little fly. But the fly was dead, and there was a message that was burned into the lid of the casket that read I will return. It was followed by some strange symbols that looked like this §+†. He needed a drink because while he was reading on the interwebs; he had been eating hot fries, and they were beginning to burn his mouth. He poured himself a glass of  milk. He began to feel hot and smell smoke. He realized that his sweatshirt was on fire. He did the exact thing that we were taught not to do as children and started running around like a mad man. This caused the burning sweatshirt to fall off and ignited his house!

When a large semi came barreling down the street he did not hear it coming because he liked listening to swaggy music while riding his bike. he was hit and sent flying through the air and got hit by a bird in the head. this caused severe brain damage. he became very delusional. he thought he was a superhero named Swagman. his teacher were all the villains in his mind.

The next day he came to school with a pink and green superman costume covered up by a hoodie and sweatpants. then he asked Mr. Ross to go to the restroom where he removed his sweatpants and hoodie and became Swagman. he was determined to fight against all of the evil  doers who ever assigned homework. so of course he ran to mrs hanson's room first were the most illegal items (homework) was given to stop the biggest supplier of this evil (Mrs. Hason).

when he got there he screamed “im here to take you away evil doer.”

the then started to try to ignite the math books using his mind(aka matches). then restrained mrs hanson with paper handcuffs. she then broke the handcuffs and and called the mrs phillips. who sent the janitor to get him and bring him to the office. zach beat up the janitor and then went to mr peterson's room to stop him from giving more assignments. “Don’t give that assignment Mr. P or I’ll have to send u to prison!”  he screamed at the top of his lungs.

“Alex, giving an assignment is not a reason to send someone to prison” Mr. Peterson stated.

“Well I do not care and my name is Swagman and I do not know this Alex you speak of” Zach replied.

Mr. peterson said he would not give the assignment so then our hero went to Mr Ross’s room where he was instructing the seventh graders to “abrir sus libros en la página noventa y seis” ( translation: open your books to page 96)  then he Questioned were Zach had been for the last two class periods.

Zach played dumb and asked “who is this Zach, and why do you never give assignments in english?”

“Because I like speaking in spanish and you owe me a detention where you must skip around for half an hour,” replied Mr. Ross angrily.

    “Hated your class last year because you always talked in spanish and gave like a million homework assignments,” Zach confessed.  

well you were my least favorite student ever even worse than Spring Ring who never ever did any homework. ” replied Mr. Ross.

            When he got there he asked his translator to tell Bob “ i am here to hunt down this evil alien and take it back with me to receive punishment from our king for terrorising the human race here on earth. It is against the treaty of space peace to terrorize any race from another planet.” Bob asked what kind of punishment he would receive. “ his punishment will depend on how well he cooperates,” responded exhjklhg.

“if he goes willingly he will only spend a little time in jail and be released later this year.”
