The Black Figure Once there was a boy named Cole and he was doing what he usually does at bedtime: reading in his bed. It was a story called The Tales of Three Hares. It was just getting scary because one of the rabbits was trapped in an empty stone house and it was raining. The lights started to flicker in Cole's room. Then they turned off. Cole heard a screeching sound on his window and rain falling. He decided to wait a little bit before he went outside to see what it was. A few minutes later Cole crept down the stairs and put his shoes on and got a flashlight and an umbrella. He went outside and saw his window but he saw nothing on it. He looked around the corner and saw a black figure with a big stick. It stopped raining so Cole put his umbrella out and picked up another big stick. The black figure saw him and they both paused. Then the black figure ran into the woods next to Cole's house. And then Cole ran after him. When he got into the woods Cole saw the black figure again with another black figure. They were talking and Cole did not understand them. It sounded like the screeching sound he heard earlier. Cole got down and tried to blend in with the leaves so the figures wouldn't see him. The first black figure ran back into the woods farther. A few minutes later the black came back with another black figure that was much taller than the others. Now there were three! The tall black figure took his hood off and Cole saw his face which was a sideways oval. Cole saw that the figure didn't have a nose, but two holes in his face. His eyes were glowing green and to Cole they looked like snake eyes. It was an alien! All of a sudden a spaceship appeared and landed by the lights on it. A ramp came down with lights on it. The aliens got into the ship and took off into space. A year passed and Cole never saw the aliens or heard the screeching sound again.

The Water Dragon One stormy day a dragon was in the water. His name was Sharpdan. He was the king of the seas, oceans, and volcanoes. He could go in the lava or fly or go in the water. He had 8,000 scales on his body. He had to save other dragons and get new powers. Jerald Arden Freeman Grade 1 C.S.L.A. Melissa Striker
