stomping was approaching quickly.

“Doctor!” Annabelle screamed. Suddenly, just as the robot was going to smash the pair, it stopped moving.

“We did it!” Doctor C. happily screamed.

“AHHH!” Annabelle screamed as she was grabbed by the robot. Doctor C. was shocked and then he was also grabbed. A portal opened up and the pair left the world as fast as they arrived.

The Prophecy of Saturn: The Chosen One

CLASS 718 ATCHANNELVIEW SCHOOLFOR RESEARCH

WRITTEN DURING WRITE TOGETHER

On March 7th, 2008, Jackson Michael was born. That day, Saturn experienced a treacherous sandstorm. The God of Saturn was testing one being in particular; the birth of Jackson was a trial to deem his worth of becoming a hero. It had been prophesied many years ago, by the boy Yesh, that every hundred Earth years a storm will test the birth of a hero. This storm tested and created the to-be-hero by the name of Jackson Michael, who will save all of Saturn. Twelve Earth years have passed and Jackson is celebrating another revolution around the Sun. As his

friends gather to celebrate, the air grows still. An ominous silence envelops the town and a sandstorm begins to form. Through the sand, Jackson sees a figure in the distance. As the figure approaches, Jackson hears a whisper in his ear:

“Realize your potential—you hold immense power, do not forget that.”

The storm stops and everything returns to normal.

Suddenly, ships surround the town and troops step out, asking for “the Chosen One.” The troops harass the villagers and say, “We know the hero is here, give them to us or we will destroy this village.”

Jackson remembers the voice they heard earlier and feels a shock throughout his body. Jackson approaches the troops and says, “Leave or else.”

The troops laugh and push him to the ground. “Or else

what, you’ll cry to your mommy?!”

Jackson tries to unleash his power but from his hands the smallest spark comes out. Jackson tries again but this time is shot backward.

The troops are surprised someone has powers and realize that this boy must be from the prophecy. They grab him immediately and haul him onto the ship.

Over comms, the troops say, “We got him.” The ships leave just as quickly as they arrived.

Jackson wakes up, he finds himself tied up and patrolled by the troops.

“Who are you?!” Jackson asks.

“No questions!” The troops respond. Jackson dozes off again and hears a voice from above say:

“Realize your potential.”

The Poison Apple

JASON RIVERS & ISAAC NATIVIDAD RODRIGUEZ

WRITTEN DURING WRITE AFTER SCHOOL

Once upon a time, there was a kid who went to the park, and he saw a shiny red apple. The kid took a bite out of the apple. The apple, which knew it was poisonous, said, “Oh no! You’re gonna get sick!” This wasn’t the first time the shiny apple poisoned a kid just by looking delicious. It’s been on this playground since the 1990s. He just wanted friends and to make the world a better place. He wasn’t always poisonous, and he had some apple friends when he was young, but one day, a mad scientist did experiments on him and made him poisonous. He was also given other powers: he rolled around from playground to playground, attracting unsuspecting eaters. One day, he rolled to the same lab where he was experimented on and made his way to the scientist. The scientist saw him and bit him; this made the apple unpoisoned, but poisoned the scientist.

The apple went looking for friends. He first went back to his old apple friends, who were glad to see that he was no longer poisonous, and then he climbed his way up a tree in the playground, where a farmer could pick him and sell him at the market. A customer, seeing the shiny, delicious apple, bought it and bit into it right away. As soon as he took his first bite, money started falling from the sky and he got extremely lucky. The apple was finally happy. But then, somebody stepped on him, undoing EVERYTHING . . . the man who got lucky had everything taken away and the apple
