thank you, To all of my wonderful students, whose incredible imagination and beautiful enthusiasm enabled the success of this class.

And to Linkedkey, for facilitating such a bold and bizarre program

What you are about to read is a living, breathing story that was written by actual students. I provided a setting, they provided the characters.

A group of University students and professors set out on a team building retreat and the end of summer, they found something sinister waiting for them...

This is our story.

Warnings

So, first of all, my name is Lucas, and I have a degree in Gym at Harvard University. So this whole mess started when the professors announced that we were going to go to someplace in the middle of nowhere called Camp WannaGoHome. It sounded kinda fishy but the teachers werent done talking. They said we were going to do a ‘trust’ activity thing that sounded weird and just made the situation all the worse. So we boarded this bus with a crazy bus driver. I began to play Clash Royale on the bus.

As I get on the bus I feel the strange sensation that this is going to be a crazy trip. I get into the cramped bus and I see Gideon walking casually into the bus.

Gideon seems familiar but I can’t remember where I have seen him before.

Gideon and Art get into the bus and Art talks about some stuff that makes us seem as if we are little kids. As we stop on our break I get out and see Lucas go help Gideon pup gas into the bus. I get bored and go back into the cramped bus.

I pull out my phone and after a while I look outside and a bunch of commotion is happening. I stand up to see what is happening just in time to see one of my professors push the gas station owner and run onto the bus. “Get the bus moving” shouts Art as Gideon puts his foot on the gas pedal and drives, definitely over the speed limit. As we leave the gas station I hear the gas station owner shout “GO BACK!!!!!!!!!”. For a few minutes there was awkward silence but I don’t mind it, I enjoy the silence because it means we won’t have to talk. Soon we drive up to a tunnel, Art breaks the silence but it probably only makes everyone want the silence even more. I cringe as Art asks us “Does anyone know what you do when you reach a tunnel?” no one answers. It makes me cringe even more because this situation is getting awkward. Art says “C’mon nobody knows what to do? You hold your breath!”. As we enter the tunnel I hear a few of the kids on the bus inhale slightly, I don’t bother with this because I am too busy looking into my backpack for a snack. As we exit the tunnel I hear a bunch of heavy breathing as my classmates (that aren’t in my class) release their breath they took before entering the tunnel. I am too fixated with the sight before me to even think those breathing sounds are annoying. There is a small, smelly and dirty cabin right in front of us and if you're asking how on earth do I know if it stinks? Well the smell has already penetrated the bus windows. I hear Art say “What a wonderful place to be!” I roll my eyes and get out of the bus. The ground is so soggy I would have given anything just to not step on it. “These are brand new shoes!” I complain as I walk towards the cabin. Art slips a long golden key into the keyhole and turns it.

I expected to hear a creak but the door opened almost silently. We entered with Gideon who was at the back probably to prevent anyone from escaping which I had serious thoughts about. When we walk in Art looks at his watch and says “We probably have time for some social exercises.” I groan, if this is going to be everyday life it would definitely be strange. Art shouts “The floor is lava, get off the floor to the other side of the room!” I was already bored and I haven’t even done anything. I walk right out of the room and from the corner of my eye I see Lucas follow me out too. I stay by the door and watch my fellow classmates (that

aren’t in my class) do the activities. After the trust fall we all got to choose the scariest creatures and of course we didn’t all get the same creature. After that David had to fight the “zombies” which were actually Art and Gideon and all it took was foam balls to kill them. Once we “killed the zombies” Art jumped up and said “Surprise! It was just us” I don’t think he could read face language because we were all giving him disapproving glares and he acted like nothing happened.

“Free time right now!” Gideon says and everyone parts away.

Irene was excited on her first day back at the university. She couldn’t wait to see what would happen that day. When she arrived at the school there was a bus waiting at the front door. All the students and professors were waiting to get on it so Irene decided to get on the bus too. The man that was driving the bus greeted himself and said his name was Gideon.

Halfway through the ride on the bus, the bus stopped to get gas. Everyone then found out that the bus needed 20 litres of gas. While the tank was filling up, some people went to the bathroom but Irene remained on the bus. When the tank was full, she noticed all the professors were standing next to the bus talking to the owner of the place. Irene decided to go and join them to see what was going on. When she joined the group the owner said the gas was 600 dollars. All the professors thought this was a lot so they just ran onto the bus without paying. During the next few minutes, nothing was unusual until the bus approached a tunnel. Irene thought this tunnel was normal but it actually wasn't as soon as the bus went in the tunnel, the road became bumpy and the bus was moving very fast.

Everyone was relieved when the bus came out. Soon Irene realized that the tunnel brought everyone to where they were going to stay. A few minutes later the bus stopped in front of a tiny cabin. Irene thought in her mind that the cabin was way too small to fit everyone in it. She then began to worry.

But when everyone went in the cabin it was bigger than what Ireen anticipated. She was now very excited to see what they would do after unpacking.

Irene Wang -- Part 1 One day I woke up inside a classroom..Remembering that I fell asleep inside the classroom the other day when touring it, I went to the window and opened it. I then Screeched at the top of my lungs like I do every morning. Then I grabbed my bag of Knives and I hopped down the window.I walked over to the bus parking lot where the teachers were and some other students. When everybody arrived the ‘field trip guy’ introduced himself as Art Goodfriend and the driver Gideon. I tried to stab him with a knife but by some power I couldn’t.. We then boarded the bus and took off. A few hours later Gideon stopped at a place to get some gas. I stepped off the bus like everyone else, and we were at a creepy place with a gas pit, and a hotel across the street.. I noticed a figure staring out the window then quickly shut the curtains…”Strange..But I’m strange too sooo...” Then a man came out of the building and went to Gideon to ask him what he needed. And he said he needed to pump the bus and so on and yea… Fast forward the boring details, Gas guy said something to Brianna, Jayden[or maybe Lucas] helped pump the gas,we boarded the bus again,gas guy said something,Burzin shoved him, they ran on the bus and we left. Art was being an awkward idiot when we passed through the tunnel… We arrived at a house and it was...bigger than expected. We went off to explore and then Art made up this ‘Trust Exercise’(Which I enjoyed because I could tackle,Jump on people and give bad advice that they could’ve taken.)Gym guys had to do a floor lava thing..think they failed. The STEM guys had to climb the roof, Which I was in, and I jumped on someone. Theater people had to catch us STEM guys from falling off a roof. I tackled them. And David[the only one in Art/Sci] failed and had to fight a ‘3 creatures’ because we couldn’t just pick the same answer… End of our day.

Spectators-[An eagle crashed into a electric thing and died]

We go to CampWannnaGoHome. Everyone wants to kill the bus driver for who knows why.

People help the bus driver pump gas. Burzin kills the driver. We arrive at the cabin. We do team activities but nobody really acts as a team. People do trust exercises. Burzin does a trust fall and almost doesn’t get caught. People want to kill Burzin cause they think he’s evil

Creative Writing David Shi The beginning of a new year in harvard is starting, freshmen are learning about this school and upper years are learning, the professors are happy to teach their students.

But the school has decided to create a group for unsocial people in the school. The freshmen and upper year were all together in one bus. I rode my bike there and saw everyone. Even a few professors were accompanying us. I was the only one here in art.

As i arrived, I meet a tall man with a big stomach and a shirt written camp wannagohome. He told us that we are getting ready and departing soon. This programs makes us trying to work in teams since we have difficulties with socialism. Before departing, we meet Gideon, the bus driver, he is looking weirdly with odd clothes. He makes a fortnite joke then we hop onto the bus, the trip was awful, Gideon was able to go in every single pothole and he took turns way to tightly. We go to a lovely cabin recently owned by Harvard. But the bus suddenly stops for gas, we are in the middle of nowhere. A few people get off the bus, but i decide to stay. We then levee and arrive at the cabin. After we settle, we do team groups with the same class. Since i was the only art, i did nothing. But i ended up needing to fight a few zombies throwing foam at me.

That was all for the first day.

Day 1 Christina Ye

Rose Byrne was tired. Really tired. And of course, she arrives to see a ragged old bus waiting for her. She just finished an eight hour car ride- and finally arrived at the Harvard courtyard. Lurking around, she carefully shied away from the other students. Let’s get out of third-person, shall we? I’m Rose, and I certainly wasn’t expecting this to happen on my first day.

In the harvard courtyard, you get an old- fashioned but warm look. I wasn’t so sure what to do, so I picked up my book and kept on reading. Eight hours from home, and I miss my dog. HIs name was Chester, and he always greeted me with warm hugs. Just as I am about to enter the building, a burly old man greeted me and dragged me over to the bus. Old, and rusted, I certainly hoped this wasn’t my fate, but of course, I found myself seated inside after a couple of minutes. The man seemed to wear a shirt that read “Camp Wannagohome”, which is a pretty weird name if you ask me. Nevertheless, he lectured me and about 2 dozen students with a good natured voice.

“Hello friends! My name is Art Goodfriend, and I’m going to be your escort for this trip. “ Art Goodfriend? What kind of name is that? He continued speaking, “Look around, and you’ll see professeurs, upperclassmen, and lonely freshmen to accompany you on this long voyage. You’ve been selected for this trip as you are… well, anti-social. Wannagohome is about collaboration, and I know you’ll have fun!”

Great. This already sounded like the worst experience of my life. As we took off, Art talked to the Bus driver, who later introduces himself as Gideon. He’s short, with chain jewelry hanging from his neck and pockets.

We spent about four and a half hours on the bus, nobody daring to ask where we were going. And let me tell you, we didn’t exactly end up in the best place. The

first two hours went swiftly, as I blasted music through my headphones and took a nap. By the third hour, all of our electronics seemed to die and we found ourselves with nothing to do. We finally got to stop, and although it was in the middle of nowhere, I was glad to atleast get a ten minute break. Gideon and one of the professeurs start pumping in gas, as the rest of us are guided to the washroom by a shaggy old man, chewing gum and wearing stained overalls. The gas station looked virtually deserted, with the occasional bird landing on the roof. What happened next was something none of us expected.

A black figure appeared at the top of the gas station, and hid away when we tried to look. Then, Art appeared to become worried about the gas worker, and ushered us all into the bus. The Profs talked to the man, and all of a sudden screaming rose from their lungs. They yelled “Go, Go, Go!” and raced into the bus as the door closed. The gas worker howled from behind, yelling “CoMe BaCk! COME BACK!” with a raspy voice and we launched away at full speed. Inside, none of the professeurs were eager enough to tell us what happened, so we rode in silence with Art giving some bad jokes.

Our group passes a couple tunnels, and finally halted to a stop at what looks like a shaggy cabin. “We’re here! Ah, it looks wonderful!” Art exclaimed. Personally, it looked nothing worth cheering about as we dismounted from the bus. It was old, reflecting a similar air as the ragged bus, with vines growing from the roof. Art called us in for team building exercises, and the next half and hour went by like a blur. We were organized by our majors, so the rest of us had to wait while the others were going. Gideon used broken pylons and rocks to build obstacles, as I watched from the edge of the fence. Fall after fall happens, with Art trying to put on a happy face.

We got various “Team building Penalties” which requires one of us to fight fake monsters that are actually just Gideon. Luckily, it wasn’t me, and I knew I had to stay away from these penalties. Anything to keep away from embarrassment, I figured.

Finally, it came to our group and I did my job. We were supposed to catch someone who was trust falling, and although some of us backed out, me and a couple others caught the teammate and successfully completed the task. Art is eventually cleaned up and we are shown into the cabin, which surprisingly can hold alot of people. Freshmen and Upperclassmen head to the barn, where some of us try to engage in a couple “Never have I ever” games. I chose to stay out, and lay down the hay bale trying to write this right now. There isn’t really much to do, so I took to my journal and wrote about today’s rather odd events. Out of the blue, I hear someone yell “This eagle… It hit something invisible and it died!” I highly doubt it fell from the sky, and it probably just hit the roof of the barn. I settled down and went to sleep, looking at the empty ceiling. Sweet dreams!

Notes of Burzin Today is the day. I am going to a camp with a bunch of students. I don’t know why I got picked to be a part of this camp. After all, I still have to teach the other students at the university.

Oh well, I guess I have to think of this camp as a vacation. And at least I am not alone. It is good that there are 2 other professors coming with me. We can then share the pain that this camp may have in store for us. Just then, this man came up to the students and said that his name was Art GoodFriend. He said that he was the camp counselor. That sounded like a weird name to me but I could not say anything because that would hurt my reputation as a teacher. He started to talk about team building exercises and honestly, I was not paying much attention to him. Just then a bus driver came out of a school bus and told everyone to start loading the luggage. Everyone did so and then we took our seats on the bus. He told us that he was our bus driver and would also stay at the camp to provide any help if needed. This man then told everyone that his name was Gideon. Now, that made me happy. I was ecstatic that we had at least a few people with a normal name. Anyways, after what seemed like hours, we arrived at a pit stop because apparently the bus was out of gas. The gas station started to pump the gas in the school bus. He said that he needed help, however. Lucas Z, who had a gym major began to pump away. Instead of helping Lucas Z, the attendant just left the pump and came to us, the professors. All the other students, the Art CoodFriend, and Gideon were still in the bus waiting.

The gas attendant started to tell us that people who went to the area we were going never came back. While he was blabbering about the random things, that I again weren’t paying attention to, I noticed 2 things. One, that not a single vehicle had passed on the highway that headed and came back from the camp area, during this hour.. Number Two, was that I noticed a strange and shady looking building in the distance. In one of the windows I thought I saw a figure staring at us but when I squinted, the figure was gone. I decided to just ignore the things I noticed and finally, Lucas Z said that the bus tank was full. Lucas Z came to me and the other professors, Angela L and Irene Z. Then the gas station attendant told us that all that gas would cost 500 dollars. I screamed on the inside. The gas attendant then started insulting us about how we did not have that kind of money even though we were professors at a university. I had never been more offended in my life. And for the first time ever, I did something without thinking it over. I punched the gas attendant and told Lucas Z and the other professors to get in the bus.

I got in last and told Gideon to drive, and then he asked me why I was in a big rush. And then I yelled at him, “JUST DRIVE!” He immediately slammed his foot on the gas pedal and we zoomed on the highway. From the distance, we all heard the gas attendant yell something that sounded like “You will be sorry”. And at that point, everyone in the bus was staring at me. I felt so embarrassed and I realized one thing. I just robbed someone. I filled in gas without paying.

Then, I fainted.

When I came to, we were in a tunnel and I felt that something awkward just happened.

Anyways, all my senses kicked in and I was good as new. We finally arrived at the cabin and boy did it look small and old. It looked terrible. It was rusty and dirty. I was not looking forward to sleeping in that thing. Anyways, we all unloaded our luggage and took our things inside the cabin and boy oh boy, were we surprised. The cabin was huge on the inside! It was so clean

and everything looked brand new. I had officially just changed my mind about the cabin. I could not wait to sleep and eat here. This just proves the saying that you can’t judge a book by its cover. We unloaded our things and then Gideon and Ar Good Friend told us it was time for trust building exercises. Everyone had to do them but some people just walked away and therefore got teamwork penalties. In my activity, I had to climb up this huge building. Luckily, the other professors helped me get up. And then, Art GoodFriend said that we were doing trust falls. The teachers would fall from the top of the huge building and then the students would have to catch us. The other professors decided not to do it and they just climbed down. They got teamwork penalties. Now, I was having real stress issues, I did not want to fall down from this huge height and then not have anyone catch me. If that happened, I would die! But if I just climbed down, I would get a teamwork penalty! I thought it over and I decided that since I trust my students, they must trust me. And then, I took a step and I was right at the edge of the building. I took another step forward and I fell and fell and fell. I was about to get a heart attack when I realized I was not falling anymore! My students had caught me! I felt so loved! I then realized I was one of the only ones without a teamwork penalty! Just then, Gideon and Art GoodFriend said that it was late so activities were done for the day. We were all allowed half an hour of free time before we had to go to bed. I don’t know what the students decided to do, but they were all hanging out together so I was okay with it. Me and the other professors, Angela L and Irene Z, were in the dining area sitting together and Angela L and Irene Z were yelling at me for actually falling from that building . I just told them that in the end, my students caught me, I am alive and well, and that I do not have any teamwork penalties. We were all laughing and having fun, but then.....

Somewhere in the distance something was staring at the cabin, a bird to be precise, and something was telling me that things were going to bad.

The trip It was April, the start of the new semester at Harvard. My mom had signed me up for this group trip thing for people that needed to work on their teamwork, which I was included. They told us to walk to a man named Art, I walked across the road and crossed over to a lonely bright yellow school bus. They told us it would be a few days and overnight, I approached a round and cheery man who had a nametag on that showed; ​Art​.

“Um excuse me is this the bus for the “Improvement trip”?” I asked looking around for other people.

“Oho! Of course! Can I ask what your name is?” He answered bouncing up and down.

“Um it’s Brianna, B-R-I-A-” I spell out but end up being interrupted.

“Ah! you must be Brianna With Two N’s!” He said, ticking off a name on his clipboard, “Nice last name! Now head on in, you’re the first one!”

I muttered a reply but he appeared not to hear. I walked into the bus and sat down somewhere in the middle of the bus and took out a book.

After a while many other people started flowing inside the bus, some were freshmen, or upper year’s. There were a few professors too.

We drove for who knows how long, one professor that was once my comrade (you traitor), professor Bruzin was watching the driver rather aggressively. Suddenly a black fraying building comes into view, a man looking like he belonged in a farm stands there chewing something like tobacco.

“Oh a gas station!” Gideon exclaims (the driver). I look and notice the tiny pump protruding beside the man.

“Okay everyone break! Get off the bus and exercise those legs!” Art yells to us. All of us get off at this command.

“Is it gas ye want?” The farmer asks moving his tobacco around.

“Obviously” Gideon says, rolling his eyes.

As the old man prepares the pump he addresses the students, “So what’re ye kiddies doin here?” no one answers.

“We’re being kidnapped.” I answer unconcerned of what might happen.

The old man lifts up his eyebrows and leans in so only I can hear, “Yer the only one I know te figure it out, keep yer eyes peeled if ye wanna live,” he says, and leans back. We all head back onto the bus after stretching a little. Prof. Burzin appears to be in a heated discussion with the farmer.

Everyone except him is on the bus, “What’s that maniac doing?” Gideon grunts, impatient.

We watch as Prof. Burzin shoves the farmer and runs up into the bus, “GO IF YOU VALUE YOUR LIFE,” He yells bounding up the stairs.

Without wasting a second asking, Gideon drives up the road quickly. We pass through a dark tunnel.

Pretty sure we got onto a bus, then went to a gas station, but we left that old dude behind while leaving the gas station. We passed a tunnel and a ravine thing, and we got to the cabin. First thing we did there was the trust exercises, which most of us completely failed. I FORGOT THE EPILOGUE WHATTTTTTT ARRRRGRGGHHGHGHGHHG

In the university of Harvard, a group of students and some professors were asked to go on a secret trip on a program that improves and enhances everyone’s teamwork skills.

So, the group of participants gathers in front of the school, while a tall, fat man named Art Goodfriend greets them and introduces them to the program, Camp WannaGoHome. Soon, another queer, mysterious man named Gideon, who is the bus driver of the bus that will take them to the Camp, arrives and loads everyone up on the bus.

After 4 and a half hours of driving, Gideon makes an announcement that everyone can go on a break while he pumped the gas. Burzin has intentions to stab Gideon, but Gideon noticed. Meanwhile, a couple STEM kids saw a big building, inside with a mysterious figure. Soon, it came out of the door. It was an old man with a blue cloak and short, grey hair. He walked out, chewing tobacco. He demands what the group of campers were doing here. Then, he whispered to Briana something that no one could make out. Later, people noticed that Art was keeping them away from that old man, and loaded them back on the bus. The students looked out of the window, and saw the professors and Lucas having a conversation.

As they watched outside of the window, Burzin pushed the old man on the ground, and ran towards the bus, shouting: “Go! Go! Go!”. After 10 minutes, they arrive at a tunnel.

As they exit the tunnel, they arrive at a big house. After taking a look at the house, Art organized some teamwork exercises. The gym students went first. It was a “Floor is Lava” game. They both walked away. The STEM students went next. Their obstacle was climbing a wall. Irene jumps on Lucas and lands on top of the wall. Then, Angela, Burzin, and Gavin all ask for help to get up. Lastly, the Theater students went. It was a trust fall for them from the STEM students. Only Burzin was willing to trust fall. At the end, Angela Qi, Christina, and Irene managed to catch Burzin.

There was a final task for everyone. It only counts as success if everyone voted for the same answer. Unfortunately, the answers differ, therefore David, who had penalties, had to battle 3 monsters in the arena. However, it was just Art. Therefore, that’s how i\the day ended.

Angela Creative Writing 1

Hi, I’m Professor Angela and it’s s- “IF YOU NEED TO GO TO THE WASHROOM, GO NOW!” screamed Gideon. As I was saying, I’m Professor Angela and this place is absolutely chaotic. I don’t think Gideon knows that these are university students, I think he is absolutely out of his mind! So, we all head onto the bus. We are all going to Camp WannaGoHome. I honestly hope it’s big enough for all of us, I really want it to be comfortable although I doubt it’ll be. We keep on stopping and I’m a Professor so I can’t complain although I really want to SCREAM right now. We stopped again, yes you guessed it, we stopped again. This time we stopped at the gas station, and this gas station was really dirty and gross. We saw the Gas Station Attendant and asked them how much it would cost to get some gas and they said it would cost like 5000 dollars. We passed tunnels and we were finally at the Camp. “What the heck is that? Are you sure we aren’t lost?” said the Freshman. “No, we are here! We have arrived at Camp WannaGoHome! The Camp is small, dirty, and so nasty. “Ugh! I knew it, this trip would be so gross! AHH!” I screamed. Nobody would go in. I finally decided to head in to report to the students how it was. “Woah!” I said as I stepped into what seemed like a gross Cabin. I quickly realized that it was huge inside! It was also very clean and really nice! “Come on, students! It’s really nice!” I said to convince my students. The other Professors went in and let out a sound of amazement. Soon, the students were convinced that the Cabin was nice and decided to go in too. Everyone seemed really pleased with the Cabin. There were dining areas, 7 rooms for sleep, and 6 showers! It was really a nice Cabin. Although we didn’t get much time to enjoy it, the Art Goodfriend said that we had to go out to do bonding exercises. The first group was gym. They had to do some major climbing and only 1 of the 2 gym majors completed it. Lucas was too scared I think. Next, the STEM people had to complete a task to climb and most of us made it up. Finally, we had to do trust falls. I am too old and I don’t trust these children, so I just didn’t do it. I mean, overall, it was a mess today.

“Alrighty the washroom is in that old building.”

We all head back onto the bus after stretching a little and using the washroom. Professor Burzin appears to be in a heated discussion with the farmer.

Everyone except him is on the bus, “What’s that maniac doing?” Gideon grunts, impatient.

We watch as professor Burzin shoves the farmer and runs up into the bus, “GO IF YOU VALUE YOUR LIFE,” He yells bounding up the stairs.

Curiosity

This field trip is just getting worse and worse.

Jayden As we go to our rooms, there is a creepy doll sitting on the table next to Lucas’s bed. Lucas picks it up and we come up with the best idea ever, we arm it with a knife and walk into Bruzin’s room. As we put the doll onto Burzin’s bed, we turn and get ready to run but we see Burzin standing in front of us.

I dash for the window but it is nailed in from the outside. Burzin takes the doll and wacks us in the head with it. “THIS IS CHILD ABUSE” shouts Lucas as he picks up his phone and dials 911. Sadly, there was no service and our call did not work. We walk back to our room and head to the barn where there is a party​. ​We take an old fashioned stereo and turn on old fashion music that sounds horrible but we can’t connect any of our music playlists to the stereo so we are stuck listening to old-fashioned music. In the middle of the party I see Burzin come in and shout “Turn down the music!” Instead, I turn it up and say “WHAT DID YOU SAY?”. He walks forward looking rather grumpy and takes the stereo. I grab it back and hold it above my head making sure Burzin doesn’t get it. Suddenly, there is a mysterious bumping sound and everyone turns to see a mysterious trap door opening on the floor.

We line up to go down but a few people end up staying behind. Everyone else walks down and as I walk down I see a shell and I rush to grab it. I bring it upstairs and say “who wants a shell for $5?” Irene comes up and throws me a $5 bill and I pass the seashell to her. Lucas and I went back to our rooms and Lucas pulled out a locket. As we walk in, there is a giant painting of craziness and I just stare at it. After I stare at if for a few minutes I decide it is not worth my time and I throw it into the trash can. Lucas on the other hand starts prying the locket open with his spork from dinner and inside is a picture of a woman and what looks like a man without his face.

Just as we open the locket, we hear a man screaming then we hear another person screaming and lastly we hear the seashell I took crash to the floor and break.

Assignment 2

After all the horrible activities that everyone had to do, Irene started to unpack her stuff. She was also very excited that she had her own room in the cabin. When Irene was done unpacking, Art Goodfriend told everyone that he was going to the lake to go fishing. Irene thought that was fine so she didn't follow him into the forest. A few moments later there was a party going on in the barn. Irene decided to join the party since it was good to celebrate the first day in the cabin. She was shocked that the other teachers wanted to stop the party. While an argument about the party began, a mysterious trap door appeared in the ground. It was dark and scary Irene went down anyway. When she and some other friends went down, they found a few items that were all unique and mysterious.

Irene decided not to take anything because everything was really scary looking to her. After getting out of the creepy trap door, Irene just started to get ready for bed.

Irene

Irene W We then picked our rooms, me with the STEM kids aka the biggest group had to sleep on a floor mat...Pretty disappointing, I have to actually interact with people and be near people for the whole stay.I would’ve rather stayed in the bathroom but, they didn’t allow me to...

The next thing I knew was that I had heard some of the Theater and Sci/Art talk or scream about a creepy doll and a strange also creepy painting. Since I like creepy sinister things that creep people out I decided that I wanted it. So, I went to their room and asked if I could have it, they didn’t say anything so I took it out of their hands and walked back into my room with it.

Later, we went for dinner in the mess hall and I sat BY MYSELF. Gladly watching everyone else shoot their food at Art and not eating any of the food.After Dinner Art said he was going to go fishing before it gets too dark and I thought about following him but someone [Lucas I think] already decided to go after him. So they left.. We then threw a party in the barn because no one else had any better ideas.

Later he returned and said that Art knows Martial Arts and he didn’t even get hit when he tried to hit him…

It was quite strange but..I am strange so strange is normal to me.

Then the teachers tried to stop the party except Irene Z. So they tried to break up the party but instead we then found a trapdoor.I went down along with most of the people following Flora. Down inside the trapdoor there were some strange things.

The things that stood out were a dusty box, a book,seashell and a ball. Flora took the bax and inside was a music box. Flora then took it out and started to play it, it was a little cranky at first but got better.. I don’t know what was so scary but suddenly Flora threw the music box away and it landed with a crash. Tho, we did manage to see the reflection of Flora in the box as she threw it away.

Next was a book, Burzin took that and started looking at it.He couldn’t read it since the lights were a bit dim and it didn’t seem to be written in a language.

I decided to take the ball since no one else decided to take it and so I did...It had a lot of small holes on it and I went to go back to my room so no one would steal it and so I could investigate it further. Jayden[I think] took the last Item, the seashell, then he went outside the trapdoor and asked if anyone wanted to buy it for 5 bucks. I agreed first and tossed him the money. And he gave the seashell to me.

Then we went back to our rooms to go to sleep and look at our things[Well only me and Burzin].

Burzin went to his room with the book and saw a painting that was the one previously in the Theater room and he just ripped it up. Then he took a closer look at the book…

The Gym guys went to their room and saw the same painting and Jayden stared at it and Lucas stabbed it… It revealed a Sad looking woman and a man looking at each other.

I walked back into my room and Went to Inspect the Items I had obtained, I looked at the ball first and it seemed to be able to move and I just tried to keep testing.

Then I noticed a painting on the wall but I had more important things to do then bother with it.

Midnight.

The man and woman in the gym guys room started to move…

The doll I had taken started to scream...

The music player we had been playing at the party suddenly turned on...

And The dots on the ball I had been fidgeting with had spiked out daggers or spikes piercing my hands. I screamed and I assumed everyone in the house heard me…

I had gotten the lower end of the spectrum with me and the rest of the stem majors having to sleep together on the floor while the other people get to sleep in beds and David gets a personal room, but I was later relieved as the stem room was the only room without a creepy thing in it. In the gym room, there was a creepy doll that they took. Later somehow, I don’t know how, but Irene got the doll. In Davids’s room, there was a picture of a man being pulled apart by wolves and a shadowy man in the background. Art Goodfriend said the place was haunted and I kinda freaked out because there were kinda like creepy stuff in the rooms. Art Goodfriend said he was going fishing and Jayden went to spy on him but he was getting stung so he tried to get Art’s bug spray but he saw him and Jayden attacked him but could never get a hit on him. Everyone had a party in the barn with some old music but the professors came to shut us down except Irene, he partied with us. Burzin got the music disc but Jayden got it from him. Angela persuaded Jayden to give her the disc and then a mysterious trap door opened and it startled us. Almost everyone went down except some people. There was a book, a box, a shell, a ball, and a locket(I didn’t see it but whatever). Flora went to get the box and in it, there was a ballerina that was kinda old but it kept getting faster, so she threw it away. Burzin took the book with some weird language. Someone got the ball with weird dots and someone got the shell but just sold it for 5 dollars to the person with the doll. Jayden and Lucas saw something bright and went down and saw a locket on a mannequin with crosses out eyes with like a knife and a mouth scratched with a knife too. Jayden took the locket and put it on. Every who got one of the things in the basement saw one of the weird paintings with the person getting pulled apart by wolves with the shadowy person. Jayden and Lucas opened the painting to see inside a man with no face and a woman’s head with black hair. Burzin found out that the words in the book were some sort of code and he tried to decode it. The person with the ball found out you can turn it. Then suddenly there were noises and screams outside and then the person with the ball turn the ball more than before and spikes shot out and hit all over his hands and he screamed.

Then the music from the party in the barn started again. I got kinda freaked out and I thought the place was actually cursed.

My story book character(Not me) It all started with a group of students going on a field trip. None of us wanted to, but we had to. We all packed our stuff and got into the bus. I felt mad and weird as I walked to my seat and sat down. The bus driver was a strange looking man with a huge mustache and one arm. After the bus took off, I started to feel sleepy and I dozed off. When I woke up, We had stopped at an old dirty looking gas station and the bus driver told us to have a washroom break. I then started to feel insecure of this guy.

Didn’t he know that we were in university, And for some reason I really wanted to stab him with a knife. A while later, I heard my teachers talking about something, I didn’t hear what it was, but I think I heard a word like stoopid or something. After that, we got onto the bus again and drove off to our destination. When we got to our destination which was a shabby looking house, this fat dude greeted us and said that this was the place we were staying at. I could feel that some of us wanted to shoot him out of a canon, and of course, I did too. After we got inside, we got this long boring lecture about teamwork which is why we were here. I didn’t hear all of it because half way through, I fell asleep.When I woke up, We had already started the first teamwork challenge which required the gym students to play the floor is lava, I had a lot of fun watching. The second challenge required the STEM students to climb up a wall and all of them succeeded. Next was my team’s(the theater team’s)challenge. Our goal is to catch Burzin but I decided that he was too heavy to catch, so I backed off and ended up getting a fail. Lastly was the science/art team’s challenge( I forgot what it was). After the challenges, we met up in the cafeteria and ate lunch. I almost succeeded in stabbing Gideon with my fork, but just then, everyone headed to the barn and I had to follow them.

We then had a party in the barn and Gideon played some weird music that nobody has heard of. After an hour, Art told us it’s time to go to bed.

We got assigned to our rooms and we unpacked our stuff. While I was unpacking, I noticed that our room looked weird and very outdated.

Then, Art said that he would be in the woods if anyone needed him, Jayden thought he was very suspicious so he followed him. When Jayden got back, we discovered a trapped door in the barn and some of us decided to investigate, I was the first one to go down that trap door.

Flora Gu(Pink Fluffy Unicorn Lover)

When I got to the bottom, I saw a blue box, a locket, a seashell and s book, I decided to pick up the box. When I opened it, I discovered that it was a music box, but the music inside didn’t sound right. I suddenly got scared and threw the music box away. Some other students picked up the other things in the basement and we headed back to our rooms.

Creative writing David After all of the teamwork activities, We start settling into our rooms that were assigned to us. Lucky for me, I had a room all for myself. It was small but very comfortable, I wouldn’t want something too big for me. As long as nobody is annoying or disturbing me, I am okay with it. I start unpacking everything I got and decide to charge my phone that is at 56%. After a few tries, I realise that it’s not my charger that is broken but there is no electricity running in this house. Everything I need for now is all prepared and I begin to look around the room. I then see a mirror and just look at it without blinking since I had nothing to do. It seems like someone is watching me through the other side of the mirror because I then hear someone saying we should burn this place up. I giggle a little bit because no one resist their laugh at some unrealisted actions like that. I stop looking at it and start to get ready to meet up with the others. The moment i step my foot out, the theaater group explain that my mirror is a one way mirror and they offer me a aintitng to cover it up. I decline it because it ha a creepy look nd hang a towel on the mirror. I the go with the group to et lunch. After lunch, Gideon tells us that the rest of the night will be ours. Fo the rest of the night, westay in the brn listening to unknown music since spotify doesn’t work. The Angela and Burzin come in telling us to stop listening to that music. But Irene pushes them and starts vibing with the music. Then burzin and Jayden start fighting for the music. I leave and decide to pull a prank. I draw the creep image the theater group offered me and stick it to everyone's room. After sticking it to everyone’s room, I go back to the group and see that they discovered a trapdoor. I decide to go with them and we manage to find a doll and a ball. They take it and we go back upstairs. I decide to try to sleep fo tomorrow morning, but then… I wake up by the sound of a man screaming in the woods followed by Irenes highest scream. Seems like i won’t be able to fall asleep tonight.

The basement of totally normal not cursed things Christina Ye

Today was nothing but weird. We started off with unpacking, as we barely had time to do anything the night before. Nothing was too out of place, except for the worn out furniture and the creaking drawers. As I plugged in my phone, I noticed it wasn’t charging. After having a quick fight with the cable, I finally gave up and glanced at the other students. We all had realized the plugs had no power, so I flopped down on the mattress and stared at the ceiling.

Somebody shuddered at the other side of the room, and I looked around to see Irene scrambling to take the painting off the wall. I'm glad she did, as the sight of a human being ripped apart by dogs isn’t exactly something I would wake up to. As she turned around, Irene met the stone cold gaze of David, who was stalking our dorm like a cat. Turned out there was a piece of one way glass connecting the rooms, so we went over to solve the conflict. We offered him the painting to cover it up, but he quickly ditched it and used a bath towel instead . Now that we had some privacy, we decided to eat dinner and met with the rest of the group in the hall. Our dinner didn’t exactly look appealing, but I figured it was the best I could ask for in this half deserted camp. We had one spork and a paper plate, with the food arranged on a large platter. Everyone ate peacefully at first, but then the topic of stabbing came up. Luckily, it didn’t bloom into anything too crazy, with just a couple flying forks wheezing over our heads. Suddenly, Art speaks up and gives us a run-down of the day. “ Okay guys! Today we can relax a bit more.

For now, you’re on your own. We’ll do some team building exercises at the end of the day, so get ready!” At this point, everyone was glad to get a break after yesterday’s long car ride and odd events.

Out of curiosity, Lucas decided to spy on Art as he left the room. He brought his spork, and chased after the Professeur like a mouse. Some of us tried to look out the windows, but soon they were out of sight and we assumed all was well. When Lucas was back, he told us a couple things about what happened. “Art was fishing, that’s all. But as I punched him, he pulled me into a bear hug, and he's very strong.”

Nothing seemed weird from that statement and we continued with our lunch. Good thing we know how strong Art is, so we won’t engage in any full-blown fights.

Out of the blue, somebody called for a party so we all headed to the barn.

There was no music, though, except for a track of 60’s music we found in a CD player. Everything was fine, and I took my place on a haybale, using sticks to draw on the walls. The song changed to a funky beat, and the Profs recognized the song and immediately stormed over. “ This song is way too loud, and way too old for you guys to listen to. “Hand over the player, and we’ll skip to the next song,” Burzin says. Irene refused to stop Voodoo Child, and the professor threatened to send her to the forest.

In a split second, He lunged over to the music player, which Jayden caught out of the corner of his eye and went for the dive, barely getting it out of Burzin’s grasp. Art ran in, and immediately asked for the player. Reluctantly, Jayden handed it over, and we all stopped confused. Usually, we never cooperated with the teachers, so this was a first time thing.

The party was ruined, and we cleaned up and went back to our dorms.

Halfway through the hallway, someone stepped on a trapdoor, and we decided to go look. Three people stayed while the rest of us went, scavenging around the eerie basement. People start blowing dust and removing blankets, with boxes showing up all over the place. One in particular, thought, was embroidered with rubies and golden ingots, like a treasure chest you would find in disney movies. Flora opened it up to find a ballerina music box, and flipped the switch. At first, it was a melodic and sombre tune, until it got faster and faster. The music began to sound creepy, so Flora

threw it up into the air. She screamed, like she had seen a ghost. Apparently, Flora saw the painting of the dogs, but none of us believed it at first. But then it happened again, and again, with other objects until we couldn’t stand it anymore. A couple things were salvaged from the chamber, such as a locket, which Lucas returned with.

Burzin got a book, while Irene captured a small ball and a shell.

We finally got back to our dorms, but little did we know the day wasn’t over. A series of screams erupted from dorm to dorm, and we realized it was from the people who had the objects. They all saw the dog, again, and as for us, the painting that Irene removed earlier was back on the wall. The ball we discovered earlier shattered to the ground, and the music player creaked open. Voodoo Child has started again.

Notes of Burzin Well, the room arrangements are not that great. Well, actually, the room arrangements were not that great for the students. The STEM kids had to share a room and sleep on mats.

The theater group had to share a room, but they got beds. The 2 gym students had to share a room and they also each got beds. The 1 art/sci kid named David got his own bedroom with his own bed. Us professors were really happy though. Each professor got their own bedroom with their own bed and table. It was quite comfy in my opinion. I tried to get some rest, but then I kept on hearing screams from David and the theater group. I decided to go somewhere else to get some peace and quiet, so I went to the mess hall with a book. 1 hour passed and I decided to go back to my bedroom. And as soon as I opened my bedroom door, I saw students in my bedroom holding a creepy doll. I asked them what they were doing in my bedroom and they said nothing. I put my book down on the table, took the doll from them and started slapping the students with the doll and yelling at them. A few of them got out their phones and I assumed they were trying to call child services but they obviously failed because there was no wifi or internet connection here in the woods. Anyways, the students went to their own bedroom and the other professors and I headed back to the mess hall to chat. 30 minutes later, we started to hear some loud music coming from the barn. We went there to check out and I immediately tried to shut it down. Although it did look pretty nice with all the drinks and the games, I knew it was my responsibility as a professor and temporary guardian to shut this party down. I told them to clean everything up and they all said no several times. I went to grab the music player and smash it, but one of the gym majors grabbed it before me and held it up in the air. Then Irene Z, one of the other professors managed to convince Jayden to give her the music player. All of the other students were yelling at Jayden, and soon it was even louder than when the party was going on. All of a sudden, we heard a creeeeeeek and some tiles on the floor opened. There was a trap door. Many of us decided to go down the stairs and into the dark basement. We used the flashlight application on our phone and a bright light filled the basement. Mostly everything down here was junk, but only 5 things caught our eyes. One was a blue box. It opened and a ballerina popped out and soft music started to play. The music was a little bad since it was really old, and then one of our students just smashed it against the wall. I tried to ignore it but then, I saw a book and I grabbed it. Then the gym students took a locket, and some STEM students took this ball with holes in it. The STEM kids also took a shell. We all climbed back up the stairs with our items and went to our own bedrooms. I began to read and study my book. I thought it was a different language at first but after more studying, I discovered that it was a code! I got a pencil and piece of paper and I started scribbling things down. Then, I heard a scream, and a humming sound. I ignored and continued to crack whatever code was written in this book. Until, I figured it out.

The basement...

We had recently moved into our mouldy yet new cabin with really well oiled doors. It had a courtyard that clashed horribly with the serene background , the inside? Well when you first enter it’s a great hall, or according to Art it was where we will take our classes. And where we will eat lunch. On the other side of the room has another door that leads to a string of rooms where we’ll sleep. Three of the rooms are for the three professors, Burzin (the crazy professor), the second room for Prof. Irene, and Prof. Angela. The other four rooms were bigger, for they were for multiple people. The four rooms were for Art/sci (I wasn’t put there even though I like art), STEM, Gym, and Theater. (I’ll personally murder whoever put me in Theater, did I mention I HATE speaking in front of crowds?) Either way we settled down.

“Ok you guys! Time to move your limbs!” Art yells down from the hall.

Everyone silently walks back into the hall.

After a series of failed attempts at teamwork activities, wall hopping (what ​is ​that?), trust fall from a roof, and the floor is lava, Art gave up on the activities and we retreated back inside. All the students walk back to their own sleeping quarters, I sit down on the bottom of a bunk bed, it’s mouldy looking just like this place. I look around surveying everything carefully, my eyes land on this odd tapestry, it has an illustration of a dying person. Their gender unidentified, my eyes wander around to find more odd things, nothing else other than a view of another room.

I look back at the tapestry on the wall, “Yeah no, that thing doesn’t belong here,” I say to myself as I walk across the room.

I give a tug at the freakish tapestry and it gives a tiny pop and comes down smoothly. I throw it on the floor beside the tiny desk that was standing there in the corner, this was a room for three, why is there one tiny fragile desk? The tapestry crumpled uselessly against a leg of the desk, the desk shakes violently with a jolt for not being touched or moved in a long time. I look back at the window that gives us a clear view of the room beside us. Everyone else in the Theater group was watching me silently, now our eyes were on the window, David was there (0apparently that was his name). He was looking at the window but not noticing us, he was squinting at something in his hair. As a theater group we rarely talked, unlike a theater group. Someone stood up (Christina or Flora)and walked out the door of our room, the other two followed, that person walked into the room David was in. It was the Art/Sci room.

“Um that’s a one way mirror..” the person says.

David looks at the apparent mirror, a stunned expression on his face.

I walked back into the theater room and grabbed a hold of the tapestry, I walked back into the room with everyone.

I thought for a moment on how to explain, I hold the tapestry up to David’s face and say “You can use this creepy tapestry if you want to.”

David just shook his head and pulled out a towel and hung it across the mirror. I shrug and drop the tapestry back on the desk. Suddenly we hear “What ​is ​that?!” Someone had shrieked that from the Gym group’s room. “​That​ is called a creepy ​doll​” A different voice states in a matter-of-fact.

We ignore the yell. A few peaceful minutes later we hear someone else yell, “What are you guys ​doing​?”

We poke our heads to see what the commotion was about this time, we see Burzin, excuse me “Professor” Burzin scolding at two boys from the Gym group that had tried to sneak the doll into Prof. Burzin’s room. ​I w ​ as definitely approving that idea. One of the boys makes a run towards Burzin’s window located above a bed. To his disappointment the window was bolted shut. Burzin snatches the doll from the other boy's hand and smacks the fleeing one with the doll. I reach into my pocket and take out my phone, I dial the child abuse number. No answer. We settle back down, I see a STEM geek walk out of the front door and follows Art. Art had given us instructions to go into the barn and have “a nice time”. Of course we followed these instructions, we’re “obedient” kids. Inside the barn was a party, there was a snack table, a radio with unpopular music by Jimmi or something.

“Ugh can someone ​please​ turn off that horrid music?!” Burzin yells just as I read the artist of the song's name.

Prof. Irene just dances to the music, one of the gym people who snuck into Prof. Burzin’s room yells “Huh? You want the music ​louder?”​ And turns the music louder. Prof. Bruzin and the kid fight for the CD, in the end Bruzin wins. Suddenly we hear a boomf sound, and there’s a trapdoor. A bunch of people head in.

What if my character barely does anything this session?

All I did was: Party NOT go into the trapdoor Stay in a room Hear a sound (or a few sounds) Well anyways, here it is In the party room, there was a radio. It looked kinda old and rusty, and the music it was playing was crazy, insane, silly, berserk, bonkers, daft, deranged, and straight up idiotic. My character didn’t find anything because I never did anything big, I just stood around in a corner being an invisible nobody because I actually wanna survive this, unlike some people I know.

When the teachers came and the trapdoor was revealed, everyone went silent (obviously). Most of my classmates ended up going down the trapdoor because they have no survival instinct whatsoever, but my character decided to be a sensible human being and NOT go down that creepy hole in the ground. My classmates found a ton of very suspicious, sketchy, unusual, doubtable, different, and mistrustful objects that I will refuse to take with me. Despite the name of this assignment, I am surely, positively, definitely, 100% sure there is something wrong with that basement. Burzin and whoever took the box (I think Flora?) are probably gonna die next session thanks to those items. I predict Irene is gonna go into a coma too, she seriously shouldn’t have touched that bowl. We heard a scream from outside, but I honestly, truthfully, genuinely, sincerely don’t know who that was (I’m hoping it’s Art though). We should’ve burned that doll to ruined, burnt, demolished, lost, ravaged, wrecked, incinerated, obliterated ashes when we still could. I swear everyone is going to die because of that mistake. That doll is extremely, absolutely, certainly gonna kill us all. I did not take anything, because my character is not an utterly stupid student, and my character is not at all curious about the basement,

the objects, and everything else inane we’ve had to deal with so far. I’m just trying to write as many words as possible because I really need some words and I really want to finish this because nothing even really happened to me this session so I have nothing to write. At the end, Irene’s bowl literally mutated into a porcupine and started blasting glass at her. I don’t exactly remember what else happened because you might want to know that I don’t have the best memory. DONE

After the students and professors from Harvard finished their teamwork exercises, it was night. Art arranged all the students and professors in the bedrooms. Each different profession got a different room, and each professor got a small room. While Gideon and Art will be sleeping on the bus. As Art settled everyone down, he went fishing. Lucas found him suspicious so he followed him to the pond and spied on him. As he peeked through the bush, Art saw him and was startled. Art asked, “What are you doing here?”. However, Lucas did not answer. Instead, he started trying to beat Art up wrathfully. To Lucas’ surprise, not only did he feel any sensation of Art fear, but Art also quickly dodged every punch that came towards him. Lucas returned to the bedrooms with exhaustion. When Lucas came back, he saw that everyone was in the barn and was having a hard rock party. The professors, Irene, Burzin, and Angela Lu came. Irene decided to join the party with the other students, Burzin wanted to shut down the party. Lastly, Angela Lu persuaded everyone to stop the party. As they were having this discussion, a trap door reveals itself. Inside the basement, there were 4 objects. A dusty box, a blue cover book, a large seashell, and a ball with many dots. Flora picked up the box. As she opened up the box, there was a ballerina spinning, but the music didn't sound right. She threw it to Gideon. Then, Burzin picked up the book. As he opened the book, it was full of a language that he doesn’t recognize. Then, Irene picked up the ball and walked away. Lastly, Jayden picked up the seashell. Then, he sold it to Irene. Irene snuck off with her 2 items. After they went back, Burzin started thinking about the language as a code. While this is happening, Irene starts investigating the ball. She wants to open the ball, and discovers that the ball can turn. Lucas sta

I am honestly so lucky I get my own room, I’m so glad I don’t have to share rooms with the STEM kids or even with my fellow professors. Honestly though, I’m gonna say, this room is cramped! It is so small. But, I could’ve gotten a worse room so I’m sort of thankful. The STEM people got such uncomfortable beds so I’m lucky I got a really comfortable bed. I didn’t really get anything from the room but I’m pretty sure some of the others got some creepy things such as a creepy little doll and a scary painting.. I wonder why these things are in the rooms. Our Art GoodFriend then proceeded to show us a self defense exhibit. And honestly, I sort of forgot what happened but it wasn’t my jam. I didn’t really love it. The students then found this weird music thing and they started to party. My fellow Professor Burzin tried to pick up the radio but I think Jayden is a lot tougher so he took the radio before Professor Burzin could. So… I decided to harness some of my persuasive skills and I actually persuaded Jayden. He gave me the radio and the party stopped! We then found a mysterious trap door and we decided to head down. I wanted to go since I’m In the basement, we found five odd, mysterious, unique and rustic items. It seemed like one was a weird loc- “I WANT IT!” screamed Lucas and Jayden. And within seconds, what seemed like a locket was gone? I’m pretty sure Lucas and Jayden put it somewhere. There was then a book? A rustic looking book which Burzin decided to avenge with. It was old, rusty and the top was cracking into a million little pieces. Once we opened it, we quickly realized that this was a secret language so Burzin decided to try and figure out the code. Good luck Burzin!

We poke our heads to see what the commotion was about this time, we see Burzin, excuse me “Professor” Burzin (he’s a traitor alright?) scolding at two boys from the Gym group that had tried to sneak the doll into professor Burzin’s room. ​I ​was definitely approving that idea. One of the boys makes a run towards Burzin’s window located above a bed. To his disappointment the window was bolted shut. Burzin snatches the doll from the other boy's hand and smacks the fleeing one with the doll. I reach into my pocket and take out my phone, I dial the child abuse number. No answer. We settle back down, I see a STEM geek walk out of the front door and follows Art. Art had given us instructions to go into the barn and have “a nice time” and said he was taking a walk. Of course we followed these instructions, we’re “obedient” kids. Inside the barn was a party, there was a snack table, a radio with unpopular music by Jimmi or something.

“Ugh can someone ​please​ turn off that horrible music?!” Burzin yells just as I read the artist of the song's name.

Professor Irene just dances to the music, one of the gym people who snuck into professor Burzin’s room yells “Huh? You want the music ​louder?”​ And turns the music louder. Professor Bruzin and the kid fight for the CD, in the end Bruzin wins. We headed back because all the fun was gone.

Suddenly we hear a creaking sound, and there’s a trapdoor under a table. A bunch of people looked at it and opened it up. They climbed in slowly without talking.

The basement Ⅲ The weirdo’s had just left the trapdoor with dust storms following them, Professor Burzin was holding something to his back and slinking out of the room “Unnoticed”. Professor Angela had brought some weird thing that I couldn’t get a good look at, some kids who followed the professors in were telling them about a mannequin that had scratched X’s as eyes. Professor Angela took the mysterious object into her room with multiple curious people following, which did not include me. I went back to the theater group’s room. I sat down on the floor, mind you it was equally as ​dusty ​as the people that went in the unknown basement. Just as I was about to get to the best part of the book I was reading, ​The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes (​ Fourth book of the trilogy series ​The hunger games,​ ​not a trilogy anymore), I heard a loud crash from one of the professor’s rooms. Can’t they keep it down? As that happens a chorus of screams follow the crash, really, is ​that ​hard to be quiet?And of course things can’t get worse, ​right?​ Well no, now someone turned on the CD with the Jimmi Hendrake music again, well this time the music was ​unbearably l​ oud.

“Seriously? I’m gonna rip that CD out of the CD player when I get to that wretched barnhouse,” I mutter getting up, placing the book aside.

I walk outside onto the patio not bothered by the fact of walking barefoot over gravel, but as I get closer to the bottom of the stairs I hear more screams, except it was one lonely scream.

“EEEEEEEEEEEEE!” Someone yells oddly high pitched, maybe 10 octaves higher than humans are able to yell.

Now I’m kind of getting annoyed, I’m definitely gonna teach this person a lesson, I pull up my sleeves and march to where the sound came from. It was coming from the bus.

“Can Gideon or Art even yell that high pitched?” I ask myself as I near where Gideon and Art were supposed to be sleeping. I approach the door of the bus without an ounce of fear. I tap the unused emergency lever, it opens the door like it was supposed to, inside was dark. I take a few

Angela Creative Writing 2: ​The Basement of totally normal not cursed things ~ Part 2

You know, after the major basement debris, I was feeling pretty normal.. until I heard some commotions. I was honestly really confused but feeling fine until the STEM bunk started to fight for who knows what reason. So, I just tried to calm them down, didn’t work but oh well, sometimes life doesn’t go the way you want it to. Ugh, these dumb kids, they are still fighting, oh well, I guess I have to plug my ears. This will be a long day, I can already tell. You know, then the gym kids had to do something and I forgot what it was. I am a STEM teacher not a gym so I didn’t really have to supervise them. Then, Gideon proceeded on a bus adventure, I’m not really sure if he was just tired and out of his mind or he was born to be crazy but I can’t do anything about it. I continued to hear odd sounds. Music.. crashes.. I decided to take on my role as a professor to keep the students safe and investigate. I mean, you gotta admit, I’m pretty smart. I then heard music coming from the barn and weird sounds coming from the rusty old bus. I had to make an executive decision since I knew both places were dangerous. After hundreds of quick thoughts, I finally decided to head over to the barn. I wanted to since the music was getting louder and louder. As I entered the rusty old barn, I plugged my ears. The creaky door opened and I was in. I quickly realized what was causing the music and can you guess what it was? It was the radio! Last time, the kids were partying with it and I actually convinced Jayden to give it to me. I thought it had already been thrown out! I guess I was wrong.. “AHH!” I screamed as I realized a trapdoor on the ground. I expeditiously zoomed across the room. Then hearing these lyrics.. "There must be some kind of way outta here. Said the joker to the thief.

There's too much confusion. I can't get no relief." I was immediately bewildered.. What was the meaning behind these lyrics. I honestly had NO idea! I soon found the radio to not be plugged into anything! I realized that the radio was also turned off? I was so confused and honestly concerned for my life. As I thought and thought, it would be the best choice to just kick the radio. As I was kicking the radio, some of my students saw me and gave me a weird look in the eye. I quickly stopped kicking and the radio actually stopped! I was so shocked. I didn’t think I would make it outta that barn. In the meantime, Angela Q had to go on a dark forest adventure and so did Gideon. Burzin was also studying hard on the book in his room. He finally figured it out! But, the book didn’t really make sense.. Anyways, today was chaotic, I seriously thought I was gonna lose my life but I guess I was lucky!

LUCAS ZHANG

To be honest, this field trip actually kinda sucks because well, I guess this place stinks, my phone ran out of battery and there are no power outlets, and me and Jayden were just staring at a locket for no apparent reason. So basically, we were just staring at something for an hour, two hours? I guess we lost track of time. Then me and Jayden looked up from the locket for ​no ​apparent reason, and then we just walked to the lake in the forest without knowing what the heck was going on, and apparently there was this music coming from there. It was really weird. So we found out what was going afterwards, and there was these weird spikeyballs attacking everyone, Burzin was reading this girl named August Tooth’s diary, and Gideon was literally doing nothing, as usual. One of the professors was smashing a radio in the barn (i dont know why) and a buncha other people including the idiot Gideon went on a ​‘dark forest adventure’ ​thing. I have no idea why these spikeyballs were attacking us, but it was probably the bunch of cursed damn stuff we touched, like that stupid spooky-doll thing which me and Jayden tried to put into Burzin’s room, and that stupid locket.

Speaking of which, I haven’t even heard a word from Art. I wonder where we went. That bus driver must have a rotten conspiracy with the spikeyballs or something. I don’t know.

Anyway, at the end of the day, me and Jayden are the only ones with bad luck.

As all the commotion started I was half aware of what was going on I heard all the screaming and saw through the window but I just couldn’t move. I wanted to help badly but I just couldn't move my body. I tried as hard as I could but the more I tried the more tired I got so I just stopped. The more I relaxed the more sleepier I became. I stared straight forward into the locket and it was as if I was hypnotized, Lucas and I both looked at each other, nodded and got up. We walked silently and swiftly through the commotion and somehow everyone barely noticed us, not like they were trying to put out fires and destroy strange robots or anything, we just walked out of the door and we heard a soothing voice coaxing us forward into the forest. We walked forward near the lake and I can hear someone sneaking up behind us but I can’t swivel my head around.

We suddenly stop and just stare a turn using all my might and hear Gideon scream AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Just when Irene was about to go to bed, she heard a loud scream. She was shocked that someone could even scream that loud. After a while Irene started to hear a lot of commotion coming from the barn and the STEM rooms. She decided to stay in her room until everything was over.

During all the commotion, Irene could hear a lot of screaming, and fighting.

She was still wondering what was going on. Soon she decided to try to go to sleep but it was just too loud. A few hours later, the fighting and the commotion finally stopped. Irene decided to go out of her room to explore since she was so curious. When she entered The STEM room, Irene could see blood everywhere.She even saw a pitch fork stuck in the wall. When she explored the barn, there was also a lot of damage and blood. Later into the night Irene decided to go to sleep because she was so freaked out.

Screaming because I just got my hands pierced with multiple spikes the ‘ball’ then split in half. Gavin and Annie came and tried to help me but I think I was a little too concerned with the Broken Seashell so they couldn’t do much. I assume I’m still bleeding. Flora then ran in, I assume she heard me scream or something but that girl has a death wish... She actually went to PICK up the ball with her bare Hands..Like No protection. So, she should’ve seen it coming when she picked up the ball on her shoulder and it spiked it. She screamed but I think most people in the room saw it coming.. She tried to get it off and I worked kinda. She got it off her shoulder but it still caused quite hole.. So, now we hove to people that are bleeding to death..Great. Then the ‘half of a ball 1’ came rushing to Annie and ‘other half of the ball/half of the ball 2’ ran or crawled up to Gavin.Annie got a hammer or some blunt headed object and just whacked the thing and it went “bLaM”.. Gavin I think he threw an oil lamp? At the other half of the ball or maybe it was Lucas L. But, Either way one of them threw the dank oil lamp at the ‘other half of the METAL ball’.To bad they didn’t have a lighter..but there I had one and well it was his idea so why not finish it. And I threw the lighter and the ‘other half of the metal ball [OHotMB]’ caught fire and it continued to run towards Gavin. It climbed on his leg and well he had a fireball on his leg now..I forgot what happened because I was picking up seashells at the time but.. Yeah he got the fireball off. Then I think I heard some random faint noises of something breaking but I shrugged it off. Then Suddenly the door opened. The gym kids were walking in, they entered and walked straight to the back door not saying a word.. I thought it was strange so I grabbed the broken seashell, put it in a pillowcase and tried to go after them but they were too far into the night... Then the ‘HoaB1’ started to function and it started running towards Annie. Apparently Annie has quite some strength and just kicked it flying and it Slammed into the wall. Then she grabbed a spiked shape wood and flung it at the ‘Hoab1’ causing it to get trapped…

Note:The Lyrics in the song..

I think they were trying to say something like, This place will confuse you and make you overthink or get caught up in random things making you think you can’t escape but to escape it’s quite easy...

All you need to do is relax and the exit should be there..

After Irene got pierced a bunch by shards of like metal I went to try to stop him from literally dying from blood loss, nobody else helped except Cristina. Irene kept trying to pick up the shattered seashell and he stuffed it in his pillowcase. I personally thought it was kinda dumb cause he was using that case to sleep on. The ball had rolled to our room and it rolled around and then opened up. Brianna and Flora heard the commotion in our room so they came to check it out. Flora decided to pick up the ball which was not a particularly smart idea because it shot out and stabbed her and some weird crab-like things came out and crawled all over her.

Someone went to check out the scream near the bus and Gideon was there, he didn’t have his flashlight, the person checking outside claimed they saw some weird shadowy figure in it with claws and there were claw marks. Angela went to investigate the strange music from the barn, but I was sort of confused because Angela took the CD so the music shouldn’t have been able to play. I was now certain that this place was cursed, but then I became worse. Angela said that she looked at the battery area and there were no batteries and so it was technically impossible to play but it still did. She said that there was some weird shadow thing that jumped at her or something and she ducked and it went into the forest. I think that the shadowy figure might be the thing that was on the bus, but I’m not sure. For some reason Lucas and Jayden were just walking into the forest to the lake for no reason, I’m not too sure why. Back to me now, so Flora still had those weird things on her but she managed to get it off and it was crawling to Lucas, Angela came back from the barn and saw the weird things and just grabbed a hammer and just completely smashed it. Lucas was really dumb, he crabbed an oil lamp but it wasn’t even lit so it did nothing. He managed to get lighter from like Irene, I didn’t see because I was too distracted from the chaos. He didn’t even hurt it and it crawled on him and ripped his pants. I grabbed a chair and whacked it off him and started hitting it. But then for no reason Lucas just tackled me, and I’m going to get revenge for that, but luckily Angie came and whacked the thing into a wall and it was stuck. Then she grabbed a pitchfork and flung it at it and pierced it straight through its body. Gideon, Flora, and Cristina went to the forest but later they came running back.

Apparently Flora climbed a tree and the shadowy figure came and grabbed Gideon and dragged him away into the forest. I got a little freaked out about it. For the whole time, Burzin was reading his book and he deciphered the code thing. It was a diary of this girl with her family who came here and they had a lot of misfortune and the girl had like a disease and a person came and almost amputated it. Then they started seeing weird sort of demons and ghosts and figures.

I thought it was kinda creepy.

Flora(meh love pink fluffy unicorns and fat pigeons)

My story book character(Not me) It all started with a group of students going on a field trip. None of us wanted to, but we had to. We all packed our stuff and got into the bus. I felt mad and weird as I walked to my seat and sat down. The bus driver was a strange looking man with a huge mustache and one arm. After the bus took off, I started to feel sleepy and I dozed off. When I woke up, We had stopped at an old dirty looking gas station and the bus driver told us to have a washroom break. I then started to feel insecure of this guy.

Didn’t he know that we were in university, And for some reason I really wanted to stab him with a knife. A while later, I heard my teachers talking about something, I didn’t hear what it was, but I think I heard a word like stoopid or something. After that, we got onto the bus again and drove off to our destination. When we got to our destination which was a shabby looking house, this fat dude greeted us and said that this was the place we were staying at. I could feel that some of us wanted to shoot him out of a canon, and of course, I did too. After we got inside, we got this long boring lecture about teamwork which is why we were here. I didn’t hear all of it because half way through, I fell asleep.When I woke up, We had already started the first teamwork challenge which required the gym students to play the floor is lava, I had a lot of fun watching. The second challenge required the STEM students to climb up a wall and all of them succeeded. Next was my team’s(the theater team’s)challenge. Our goal is to catch Burzin but I decided that he was too heavy to catch, so I backed off and ended up getting a fail. Lastly was the science/art team’s challenge( I forgot what it was). After the challenges, we met up in the cafeteria and ate lunch. I almost succeeded in stabbing Gideon with my fork, but just then, everyone headed to the barn and I had to follow them.

We then had a party in the barn and Gideon played some weird music that nobody has heard of. After an hour, Art told us it’s time to go to bed.

We got assigned to our rooms and we unpacked our stuff. While I was unpacking, I noticed that our room looked weird and very outdated.

Then, Art said that he would be in the woods if anyone needed him, Jayden thought he was very suspicious so he followed him. When Jayden got back, we discovered a trapped door in the barn and some of us decided to investigate, I was the first one to go down that trap door.

Flora(meh love pink fluffy unicorns and fat pigeons)

When I got to the bottom, I saw a blue box, a locket, a seashell and a book. I decided to pick up the box. When I opened it, I discovered that it was a music box, but the music inside didn’t sound right. I suddenly got scared and threw the music box away. Some other students picked up the other things in the basement and we headed back to our rooms.

When I got back to my room, I heard a scream coming from one of the private rooms. It turns out Angela had been playing with the ball she got from the basement, and cut herself. She was bleeding really hard but didn’t seem to care much because she was picking pieces of a broken shell off the floor. After Angela dropped the ball(which now has spikes on it), it broke into two. I tried to pick up one of the pieces, but the half started to climb onto me. I started to scream really loud but everyone ignored me. The STEM kids got into a fight, people were helping Angela who refused, I was screaming at the top of my lungs, Lucas was yelling because he solved the code in the book, and the place turned into chaos and Burzin was reading a book. I tried to fight the spike ball and managed to get it off. After that, the place got set on fire and we all escaped And I followed the gym kids into the woods. I climbed onto a tree to get a better view but didn’t get too high.

As the scream continues, some I hear the music playing back on in the barn. I’m now either thinking that some kid didn’t think through about not being caught during night time or that a creature started playing the music.

I’m not too frightened and decide to draw despite the annoying screams.

While I’m searching for my drawing book in my room, all I hear is running, screaming, fighting. A few minutes later, everything goes back to normal with a little noise outside. I believe that they are now celebrating outside but decide to not join. I find my sketchbook and look around the room to see what would be interesting to draw. I then decide to draw a creepy image of a man inside of our bus doing something that we do not know. Took me a while to do this artwork then I heard a weird animal screaming near the barn. I’m thinking that it’s just a raccoon since there’s nothing much scary in the wild. I then go outside to the bathroom and see Flora fighting with something crawling up onto her head. I mind my own business in case the next day she gets mad at me. I can’t stop thinking about the creature crawling onto her, I try to do some research then realise that I have no signal. Instead, I play some non-wifi games trying to forget the traumatizing incident at the barn. Since I only have an Iphone 6, my phone battery was dead in a few minutes. So I decided to take out my homework and start doing it. It wasn’t too hard but it neither was easy. I then try to do some workout but after a few, i was exhausted. So I spent the rest of the night drawing some creepy images coming through my mind since there was too much noise outside. After a few, it became a little more quieter, so I stored all of my drawings in my bag, set my bed up and fell asleep.

The Choice has Been Made Christina Ye

It started with a scream. The entirety of our group stood up, and all our beds creaked. People started running, coming in from different directions to see what was going on. We traced the shouts down to the STEM room, where our classmates seemed to be frantically yelling and shouting. It almost sounded like they found a moldy strawberry on the floor.

“Get it away from me!” One person yelled. “Don’t push it to me. It’s not mine!”

The next said. Our queue to enter was following, as someone said, “Guys? Irene is bleeding!” We knew something was wrong, and the theatre group busted into the dorm. A couple minutes earlier, Brianna went to find a first aid kit in the garage.

“Good thinking,” I muttered, as I saw the scene in front of me. It looked like a half cleaned crime scene, with blood on one side and clean bedsheets on the other.

Irene and Gavin were sitting on a chair, trying to figure out what to use to stop the bleeding. The ball from the basement was shattered in the center of the room, and the rest of the STEM crowd was huddled around. They were arguing, unsure about what to do next. Flora, wanting to settle the fight, reached down to grab the ball. “See guys? It’s fine.” she told us, only realizing a second later that thick, metal spikes were growing onto her arm. She grasped the thorny ball, and attempted to wrestle the ball off of her.

Studying the moment, I decided to help Irene and Gavin at the other end of the room. Remembering a classic trick, I ripped the bedsheets apart and Gavin and I wrapped them around Irene’s cut, which seemed to get bigger by the second. We secured the wound with a hairclip, and replaced the bandage every couple minutes when the blood was fully seeped through. In the meantime, we cleaned the shattered seashell on the floor, and Flora had finally been set free from the spikeball.

As I was about to change the bandage, we realized the bleeding had stopped, and kept it on just in case. We began finding ways to escape, our thoughts becoming more and more rushed when a scream escaped from the bus. Panicking, I ran over to the window and attempted to open it up. Unfortunately, the latch is locked and we were stuck. Flora, running over to the same window, managed to smash it open and we had an exit. Some of us filed out of the dorm, while others stayed behind to cater to the mess. I jumped through the window, and decided to go over to the bus, where we had previously heard screaming. Suddenly, a loud boom erupted from the other side of the cabin, and things were okay. Well, not completely fine, but the chaos died down and we were able to re-gather ourselves. Just as I was about to take off, I heard the faint sound of a loud smash coming from the barn. It was accompanied by some music, which died off shortly after whatever object was thrown to the ground.

It was probably the radio, as it was the only thing that could play music. I wasn’t sure about why it was thrown, but for today’s strange events there probably was a reason.

As I arrived at the bus, our team huddled around and nervously talked. We noticed that Art wasn’t here, and hadn’t been the entire time. It was strange, and Gideon admitted it didn’t make any sense. He was talking like he had seen a ghost, wildy pointing at the edge of the forest. “Did you see it? Come on, if we go quick enough we can catch it! Did you see it?” Gideon repeated over and over again. Our group was confused, and several of us had enough trouble for the day and stayed behind.

I found myself and one other going along with Gideon, and as we passed the cabin windows I could barely see Burzin, who was still reading his book. He had been up there forever, not even caring about what was happening around him. He repeated some words, and we continued further into the darkness. Out of the blue, I heard a muffled scream and turned around to see Burzin had disappeared from his dorm. I started to become more worried, as if this day could only get worse. Gideon was still

frantically pointing at the woods like a madman, so we had no choice but to follow him. As we arrived, Flora climbed up into a tree, and left me alone in this situation. I was scared, and being virtually alone certainly didn’t help.

Through the mossy trees, I could make out a tall figure, with the stature of a stick. He was seven feet tall, albino, and scared the living heck out of me. Oddly, the spikes on his head reminded me of the ball that had pricked Irene. I turned around to tell Gideon, who was ushering for more people to come join us. He was facing the other way, pointing the flashlight at the bushes. Just before the words came out of my mouth, a long arm came out of the forest and pulled him straight in. Great. We have zero instructors, and a group of antisocial people without a clue of what to do next. What could go wrong?

The basement… (#2) The weirdo’s had just left the trapdoor with dust storms following them, Prof.Burzin was holding something to his back and slinking out of the room “Unnoticed”. Prof. Angela had brought some weird thing that I couldn’t get a good look at, some kids who followed the professors in were telling them about a mannequin that was scarred all over. Prof.Angela took the mysterious object into her room with multiple curious people following, which did not include me. I went back to the theater group’s room. I sat down on the floor, mind you it was equally as ​dusty ​as the people that went in the unknown basement. Just as I was about to get to the best part of the book I was reading, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes ​(Fourth book of the trilogy series ​The hunger games​, ​not a trilogy anymore), I heard a loud crash from one of the professor’s rooms. Can’t they keep it down? As that happens a chorus of screams follow the crash, really, is ​that h ​ ard to be quiet?And of course things can’t get worse, ​right​? Well no, now someone turned on the CD with the Jimmi Hendrake music again, well this time the music was ​unbearably ​loud.

“Seriously? I’m gonna smash that CD player when I get to that wretched barnhouse,” I mutter getting up, placing the book aside.

I walk outside onto the patio not bothered by the fact of walking barefoot over gravel, but as I get closer to the bottom of the stairs I hear more screams, except it was one lonely scream.

“EEEEEEEEEEEEE!” Someone yells oddly high pitched, maybe 10 octaves higher than humans are able to yell.

Now I’m kind of getting annoyed, I’m definitely gonna teach this person a lesson, I pull up my sleeves and march to where the sound came from. It was coming from the bus.

“Can Gideon or Art even yell that high pitched?” I ask myself as I near where Gideon and Art were supposed to be sleeping. I approach the door of the bus without an ounce of fear. I tug at the emergency lever, it opens the door like it was supposed to, inside was dark. I take a few stumbling steps on the stairs to the driver's seat, from there I could see someone stumbling backwards, or maybe crab walking?

It was hard to tell, “AH! Oh it’s a student! Please get rid of that!” Gideon says ducking behind the driver’s seat.

“Get rid of wh-, oh…” I say looking at a figure at the back of the bus, it had stunning yellow eyes and claws. “So you want me to get rid of some kid’s feline pet?” I ask, pointing at the giant feline-like animal.

I look at Gideon questionly, but he was no longer listening, he was rummaging through a duffel bag.

“Aha! Found it, move please!” Gideon says pulling out a red flashlight, he turns it on with a flick and aims the beam of light at the creature.

There’s a glint of it’s beautiful yellow eyes and it’s gone. Everything’s quiet., the CD player wasn’t playing the dusty old song anymore.

“Ah finally some peace and quiet,” I say as I take out a mini book that was stashed in my pocket for moments like this. “Gideon, do you mind turning the bus lights on?”

“Huh? Oh um uh alright” He stammers as he tries to find the button.

Just as the lights flicker on a scream issues from the barnhouse.

“Maybe the creature gobbled up a few of my comrades,” I say without looking up. “Well I gotta thank the owner of this feline, even if thanking isn’t my thing,”

Gideon looked worried at the thought of that and fled the bus, “We gotta check them!” He says as he turns off the lights and runs. Well he didn’t give me a choice did he? So I walk outside into the chilly air, barfoot for the whole entire drama scene. Most of the students from Harvard that came were outside in the courtyard. I hung around a sulking willow tree, took out a book and sat on a branch.

“Ah the bus was too stuffy, this place is breezy and nice.” I say to myself. Plus, who needs a light to read when you technically live in the dark?

I really can’t write 400 words. The audio was lagging because the chat was so active and the music was a bit loud, and everything is a bit confusing at the moment. Let me get this straight, Lucas and the other person in gym are heading toward the lake, and the STEM room is chaos, but what’s happening everywhere else? I forgot literally everything. WHAT DARK FOREST ADVENTURE? I DON’T REMEMBER ANY OF IT HELP ME ALREADY PLEASE HELP I NEED HELP I AM UTTERLY CONFUSED. Wasn’t Flora climbing a tree though? And the bus was outside, but I FORGOT WHAT IT WAS DOING THERE, I actually don’t know where anything is. I think a few crabby things came and attacked us, but I impaled one of them? And then Angela came out of the barn, and then I DON’T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO BURZIN. I think Irene’s seashell attacked her.

Okay, so i’m pretty sure my character was in the STEM room when I heard someone shrieking their head off like a little decapitated llama, and at the same time Irene’s stupid cursed seashell started shooting at her. I don’t recall doing anything to help, because the chat was going crazy and my audio was lagging too, but I don’t think I helped out, because THAT SEASHELL IS NOT GOING TO GET ME WHILE I’M TRYING TO PLAY WITH IT. That will never happen. I wish I had cursed at it so it would be sad. So anyways, Gideon had a bus adventure and Angela went to the barn, and Angela went to the forest or something. Angela hears this really weird song, and I think at one point this delusional mermaid comes? Also, the STEM room got attacked by a few really really really crazy crab toy things. I got lucky, and I’m pretty sure I found something to throw at it, and the second time I impaled the poor little cute crabby. Angela also smashes the radio at one point, I just don’t remember when. So the STEM room is obviously not in the best condition, so someone in the room (not me) breaks the window so we can get out. We get out of the house thing, and Angela’s back from the bar, I think. There’s a bus right in front of the big abandoned house thing, and yea. That’s all I could hear today, i’ll try to get better wifi next time :T

In the middle of the night, I feel the need to go to the bathroom, which is extraordinarily far from the camp. After a long time of walking, I return to the barn. However, when I returned, I saw most of the people gathered in the STEM room. Carefully peeking from the opened door of the STEM room, I saw: A flame, Briana smashing a chair, and the rest of the people shouting. I stood frozen in place and frowned queerly. I thought: ​What are they doing? Are they all alright? Whichever game they were playing is undeniably dangerous and weird. ​Just when I was still frowning and stunned by what they were doing, suddenly, someone bumped my shoulder. I rapidly turned around, and saw another rather weird scene; Lucas and Jayden were motionlessly walking in a straight line without any words. They weren’t marching towards their gym room either. ​Suspicious​. I thought, as two people are acting like this in the middle of the night. Out of the suspiciousness, I decided to follow them. After a walk through the forest, they eventually stopped at the pond; but something weird was that there was music. The music was also nice. It sounded like it was coming from the pond. I raised my eyes to Lucas and Jayden; they stopped there motionlessly. Enable to not get found, I stood in place too.

We poke our heads to see what the commotion was about this time, we see Burzin, excuse me “Professor” Burzin (he’s a traitor alright?) scolding at two boys from the Gym group that had tried to sneak the doll into professor Burzin’s room. ​I ​was definitely approving that idea. One of the boys makes a run towards Burzin’s window located above a bed. To his disappointment the window was bolted shut. Burzin snatches the doll from the other boy's hand and smacks the fleeing one with the doll. I reach into my pocket and take out my phone, I dial the child abuse number. No answer. We settle back down, I see a STEM geek walk out of the front door and follows Art. Art had given us instructions to go into the barn and have “a nice time” and said he was taking a walk. Of course we followed these instructions, we’re “obedient” kids. Inside the barn was a party, there was a snack table, a radio with unpopular music by Jimmi or something.

“Ugh can someone ​please​ turn off that horrible music?!” Burzin yells just as I read the artist of the song's name.

Professor Irene just dances to the music, one of the gym people who snuck into professor Burzin’s room yells “Huh? You want the music ​louder?”​ And turns the music louder. Professor Bruzin and the kid fight for the CD, in the end Bruzin wins. We headed back because all the fun was gone.

Suddenly we hear a creaking sound, and there’s a trapdoor under a table. A bunch of people looked at it and opened it up. They climbed in slowly without talking.

The basement Ⅲ The weirdo’s had just left the trapdoor with dust storms following them, Professor Burzin was holding something to his back and slinking out of the room “Unnoticed”. Professor Angela had brought some weird thing that I couldn’t get a good look at, some kids who followed the professors in were telling them about a mannequin that had scratched X’s as eyes. Professor Angela took the mysterious object into her room with multiple curious people following, which did not include me. I went back to the theater group’s room. I sat down on the floor, mind you it was equally as ​dusty ​as the people that went in the unknown basement. Just as I was about to get to the best part of the book I was reading, ​The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes (​ Fourth book of the trilogy series ​The hunger games,​ ​not a trilogy anymore), I heard a loud crash from one of the professor’s rooms. Can’t they keep it down? As that happens a chorus of screams follow the crash, really, is ​that ​hard to be quiet?And of course things can’t get worse, ​right?​ Well no, now someone turned on the CD with the Jimmi Hendrake music again, well this time the music was ​unbearably l​ oud.

“Seriously? I’m gonna rip that CD out of the CD player when I get to that wretched barnhouse,” I mutter getting up, placing the book aside.

I walk outside onto the patio not bothered by the fact of walking barefoot over gravel, but as I get closer to the bottom of the stairs I hear more screams, except it was one lonely scream.

“EEEEEEEEEEEEE!” Someone yells oddly high pitched, maybe 10 octaves higher than humans are able to yell.

Now I’m kind of getting annoyed, I’m definitely gonna teach this person a lesson, I pull up my sleeves and march to where the sound came from. It was coming from the bus.

“Can Gideon or Art even yell that high pitched?” I ask myself as I near where Gideon and Art were supposed to be sleeping. I approach the door of the bus without an ounce of fear. I tap the unused emergency lever, it opens the door like it was supposed to, inside was dark. I take a few

stumbling steps on the stairs to the driver's seat, from there I could see someone stumbling backwards, or maybe crab walking?

It was hard to tell, “AH! Oh it’s a student! Please get rid of that!” Gideon says ducking behind the driver’s seat.

“Get rid of wh-, oh…” I say looking at a figure at the back of the bus, it had stunning yellow eyes and claws. “So you want me to get rid of some kid’s pet?” I ask, pointing at the giant feline-like animal.

I looked at Gideon questionly, but he was no longer listening, he was rummaging through a duffel bag.

“Aha! Found it, move please!” Gideon says, pulling out a red flashlight, he turns it on with a flick and aims the beam of light at the creature.

There’s a glint of it’s beautiful yellow eyes and it’s gone. Everything’s quiet., the CD player wasn’t playing the dusty old song anymore.

“Ah finally some peace and quiet,” I say as I take out a mini book that was stashed in my pocket for moments like this. “Gideon, do you mind turning the bus lights on?”

“Huh? Oh um uh alright” He stammers as he tries to find the button.

Just as the lights flicker on a scream issues from the barnhouse.

“Maybe the creature gobbled up a few of my comrades,” I say without looking up. “Well I gotta thank the owner of this cat, even if thanking isn’t my thing,” Gideon looked worried at the thought of that and fled the bus, “We gotta check them!” He says as he turns off the lights and runs. Well he didn’t give me a choice did he? So I walk outside into the chilly air, barefoot for the whole entire drama scene. Most of the students from Harvard that came were outside in the courtyard. I hung around a sulking willow tree, took out a book and sat on a branch.

“Ah the bus was too stuffy, this place is breezy and nice.” I say to myself. Plus, who needs a light to read when you technically have to live in the dark?

What dangers have we unleashed? Pt.Ⅰ Ⅳ A few professor’s had disappeared, including the traitor Professor Burzin. We had struck up a heavy conversation about what we shall do, some people claimed there were “Pinhead’s” that were looking for their fellow friend (apparently the spikey ball) who was with Professor Angela.

“Steal the bus and illegally drive it?”

“No no, we should smash all those creepy things,” “Are you stupid? We should kidnap Gideon and Art to see what they know!” Were some things people thought about what we should do.

“What about what about fortifying this place?” Someone finally suggested.

“Oh let’s do that!”

Everyone started walking back inside and taking long tables and placing them against the doors, we used all sorts of materials to board up the windows and cracks, especially the basement.

“Ugh what’re you guys doing?” Art says emerging out of the forest with scratches all over with a clear limp. “Wait don’t board up the front door yet!”

“Oh where were you?” I asked Art, raising my eyebrows at the state he was in.

Dangers

Angela Creative Writing 4: What Dangers Have we Unleashed?

“We are leaving, escaping this horrid place.” said David. “No, we are gonna fortify.” argued Brianna. Apparently, the cabin isn’t really safe anymore therefore we have to come up with a plan to stay safe or else we’ll die. And if I’m gonna be honest, this is chaotic. “WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS!!” I screamed on the top of my lungs. I’m supposed to be contributing but honestly I’m just thinking of all the peril I faced last week in the cabin. We finally came to a conclusion, we were going to fortify and protect our whole cabin. We didn’t want to escape since it was dumb and we would probably most likely die even more and the fortify option was only our other option so...“Stop chit chatting, let’s get to work!” I screamed. As we began working our butts off we saw a group of people who looked like ours but we weren’t sure…

“Who the heck are those pe-“ stopped Angie. “Are those our Harvard classmates?” said Brianna as she moved closer to get a closer look. What we saw was not people but, bloody, beaten up people… We also heard very bizzare and horrible sounds. It was almost.. nevermind I can’t explain it. “Is that Jayden?” asked a Harvard classmate. “We didn’t even know if these are actually our classmates, they could be someone else..” I said. After a couple minutes, we were getting a lot of work done, fortifying and securing the walls! We were also surprisingly cheerful.

Listening to music as well as building, wow! I was not expecting we would get this much so fast. We finished doing it all and surprisingly Gideon came. “Let’s go! On this bus my fellow friends.” he said. So, some people decided to stay and some decided to go with him. I was one of those who decided to go, I thought that it couldn’t be that bad, plus our cabin is in even more danger and I’m actually more comfortable going with Gideon. So, we jumped onto Gideon’s rusty old bus and we were off. We weren’t sure where we were going but the rusty old bus hobbled down the grassy road and we were heading down to the tunnel. We realized that we had finally escaped and that we are home free.. As we went through the tunnel we blinked twice just realizing that the tunnel was caving in. Large rocks fell over our heads, dust pieces flying everywhere as we lose our only chance at freedom. Gideon then steps out and we are so worried. We are worried that 1, we won’t even be able to survive and 2, we won’t be able to get freedom. As our lives are hanging down the edge, do you think that we’ll be able to get outta this catastrophe?

A buncha stuff that happened next…..

Name here: _Lucas Zhang _____________ We are literally experiencing misfortune after misfortune at this camp. (when I get home I’ll sue the university). Anyway, we have unleashed this monster fish thingy in the lake. Anyway, me and Jayden were getting closer to the lake thingy (and our demise). Anyways, when we got to the lake we saw this weird person. But then, her smile turned bloody and all that stuff and literally scared the heck out of me. Luckily, I had my trusty spork (I named it Eating Utensil) and stabbed that thing in the eye. (If this gets published, are the creators of Jaws gonna sue us for stealing the idea?). Well, this girl/shark/monster/creepy thing came closer, it bit Jayden’s hand. (is this an IT reference? I dunno Matt) Anyway, I pried that thing off Jayden’s hand and it also bit my fingers. We went all the way back to the camp and found a buncha weirdos (oops i meant the STEM kids) building a fort or something. Apparently they just got assaulted by spikeyballs who tried to commit first-class murder. If I ever get my hands on them, I’m gonna throw them in jail for the rest of their life for attempted murder, assaulting a bunch of people, no legal consent of arms, and having spikes on their body (the last one is a joke). I’d even turn this into a video game or movie if I ever get the heck outta here alive. (really glad you picked such happy music, Matt). And there was a buncha other stuff that happened next, but now I’m really not feeling really good about this. This field trip is REALLY getting out of hand. And I thought my life was already really complicated…….

LUCAS LI BTW BEFORE WE START IT WOULD BE BETTER TO LISTEN TO THIS MUSIC WHILE READING TO GET THE MYSTERY SPOOKY EFFECT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQ_lfG28iZY​.I feel the danger we unleashed was that we might have made a spirit loose onto the world and right now we don't know what the evils/pure intentions are of that spirit or whatever that thing is. I think i'll sabotage the group and drive home myself because i'm old enough apparently and I don't want to stay at camp much longer ;-;. They can call me a coward. I don't care but I have a skill of common sense. I thought on the bus we could just beat the whole thing but apparently not. I think to get out of this I might need a weapon like I got. I’m willing to sacrifice all of the others to get home. I was really angry at lil gideon for not letting us in and I want to kill him. That way I can drive us home and leave the *cough cough* the stay there group stuck there because they aren’t my problem and i'm only helping the kids with ambition who want to go back. To me this really feels like another episode of Gravity Falls and we are Dipper and Mabel, if we kind of are I am definitely Dipper. I think we should drop all of the things we found is the basement since any of them can be cursed with something awful and manipulative that can turn them against us. I want to throw them all back down to where they belong. When Gideon ran into the tunnel I was worried that something bad might be in there and Gideon might conspire with him/her. I wasn’t worried about anything else as much as that thought. When I saw freedom vanish I blamed Gideon Geekful 110% for running into that tunnel. I think not the camp itself but the place it is at is cursed with angry spirits and fancy geegaws. Because who would find all sorts of things like what we saw in an average americans basement (I said americans cause you know why). I think maybe not me but somebody with more experience on driving should drive us back if we know since some of us have google maps we can follow that back to Havard.

Well that's it for now and I think we need to go back!

First thing I feel is the sensation of waking up, then I look up and I freeze in place. There is a creepy woman standing there. I step backwards a few steps and I see Lucas walking right into the lake and staring straight as if he has been brainwashed. How am I here? When did I come? How come there are only 3 of us here? I have billions of questions but I don’t ask them. Not yet. I run into the water, pull Lucas back and shake him awake. Suddenly, without any warning, the weird old lady opens a mouth full of teeth and bite at us. Lucas screams ”THIS IS THE NEW JAWS MOVIE” as he takes his spork and stabs the old ladies mouth.

I, attempting to knock the old lady out, gets bitten by my fist and it hurts more than these words can express. I pull back and forth trying to pry the teeth out but she just bites harder. Lucas, seeing this also tries. To pry my fist out. We end up falling down. The woman dives into the river which looks like she’s swimming.

Lucas and I run up onto shore and run as fast as we can to the cabins. I run into my room, lock the door and fall asleep. I wake up ten seconds later to the sound of a bus driving. I look out the window and I see all my classmates leaving on the bus. Iy know that I need to barricade the room better if I want to stay safe so i get to work.

Creative Writing

Since the cabin began to feel unsafe, everyone who stayed in the cabin decided to make a plan to make the cabin a better place. Everyone in the cabin decided it was a good idea to build walls around the cabin just in case someone tries to sneak into it. A few moments later, the others started to return to the cabin. When they came back, Ireen heard someone scream for help. She was going to help but she couldn’t figure out where it was coming from. Later during the evening, people got to choose weather to go on the bus and leave or to stay in the cabin. Irene decided it was a better idea to stay in the cabin since she had no idea where the bus was going to go.

By: Irene

I thought I heard Gideon yelling, so I decided to why not check it out.I ran over to where the yelling was coming from so I ran over there.. When I arrived I saw Gideon being grabbed by the foot by some tall monster creep... Christina hiding in a bush and Flora fighting the monster. I mean if she's fighting it then why not give her a little challenge I thought. SO why not try to sabotage her, so I tried to sabotage Flora. She succeeded and kicked me..Then the tall thingy aka Pinhead was coming for me. Christina tried to help me. She ran into the forest as a distraction and Pinhead didn’t see where she actually went and ran into the forest looking for her.Flora then decided to go to the lake. Me and Christina went to follow pinhead, Pinhead then stopped at a cave and turned to go the other way.

Chirstina decided to follow Pinhead while I decided to go to the cave... I entered the cave and it was quite small and dark.. As I went further the floor shaked. It opened up and a glass elevator rose.I went inside because why not. It was a free adventure soo yea…

I went down the elevator. When I went down I saw something, it was quite shiny but I couldn’t see it quite clearly. I stepped outside the elevator and in front of me was a werewolf…

So there was a lot of creepy stuff happening so we were deciding between going in the bus and driving away or staying at the cabin and fortifying. I thought we should fortify because if we tried to escape it probably wouldn’t work because the monsters would try to stop us. I though fortifying was good because if we worked together to fight one of them or defend each other we might be able to defeat them and we already defeated the monsters in the ball thing. We all decided it would be best to fortify the cabin to defend from any more monsters. Anyone who went to the forest disappeared except flora, I’m not sure why, so no one wanted to go into the forest to try to save them. Then Gideon was limping and crawling from the forest with a twisted leg and broken nose. He asked us what we were doing so I said we were fortifying. He said that the monster that dragged him away had like horns. He wanted us to just go in the bus and leave. Most of us decided to go on the bus and leave, but some people stayed behind. I’m not sure why some people stayed behind, but I guess they had their reasons. Gideon said to the people staying at the cabin to have fun dying, a little harsh but probably true. I kinda thought if the monsters knew we were escaping they probably wouldn’t let us, but I thought it was worth a try so I went on the bus. We went up the mountain and there wasn’t anything bad happening so I thought we might get out and I was really happy. We had gotten to the tunnel and we started going down, but there was a large boom and we hit something. The tunnel had caved in and we had to go back to camp. The loud beeping of the bus going backward probably told the monsters where we were because when we were going back there were shadows of monsters and I knew we weren’t getting out of this easy.

My story book character(Not me)Flora It all started with a group of students going on a field trip. None of us wanted to, but we had to. We all packed our stuff and got into the bus. I felt mad and weird as I walked to my seat and sat down. The bus driver was a strange looking man with a huge mustache and one arm. After the bus took off, I started to feel sleepy and I dozed off. When I woke up, We had stopped at an old dirty looking gas station and the bus driver told us to have a washroom break. I then started to feel insecure of this guy.

Didn’t he know that we were in university, And for some reason I really wanted to stab him with a knife. A while later, I heard my teachers talking about something, I didn’t hear what it was, but I think I heard a word like stoopid or something. After that, we got onto the bus again and drove off to our destination. When we got to our destination which was a shabby looking house, this fat dude greeted us and said that this was the place we were staying at. I could feel that some of us wanted to shoot him out of a canon, and of course, I did too. After we got inside, we got this long boring lecture about teamwork which is why we were here. I didn’t hear all of it because half way through, I fell asleep.When I woke up, We had already started the first teamwork challenge which required the gym students to play the floor is lava, I had a lot of fun watching. The second challenge required the STEM students to climb up a wall and all of them succeeded. Next was my team’s(the theater team’s)challenge. Our goal is to catch Burzin but I decided that he was too heavy to catch, so I backed off and ended up getting a fail. Lastly was the science/art team’s challenge( I forgot what it was). After the challenges, we met up in the cafeteria and ate lunch. I almost succeeded in stabbing Gideon with my fork, but just then, everyone headed to the barn and I had to follow them.

We then had a party in the barn and Gideon played some weird music that nobody has heard of. After an hour, Art told us it’s time to go to bed.

We got assigned to our rooms and we unpacked our stuff. While I was unpacking, I noticed that our room looked weird and very outdated.

Then, Art said that he would be in the woods if anyone needed him, Jayden thought he was very suspicious so he followed him. When Jayden got back, we discovered a trapped door in the barn and some of us decided to investigate, I was the first one to go down that trap door.

When I got to the bottom, I saw a blue box, a locket, a seashell and a book. I decided to pick up the box. When I opened it, I discovered that it was a music box, but the music inside didn’t sound right. I suddenly got scared and threw the music box away. Some other students picked up the other things in the basement and we headed back to our rooms.

When I got back to my room, I heard a scream coming from one of the private rooms. It turns out Angela had been playing with the ball she got from the basement, and cut herself. She was bleeding really hard but didn’t seem to care much because she was picking pieces of a broken shell off the floor. After Angela dropped the ball(which now has spikes on it), it broke into two. I tried to pick up one of the pieces, but the half started to climb onto me. I started to scream really loud but everyone ignored me. The STEM kids got into a fight, people were helping Angela who refused, I was screaming at the top of my lungs, Lucas was yelling because he solved the code in the book, and the place turned into chaos and Burzin was reading a book. I tried to fight the spike ball and managed to get it off. After that, the place got set on fire and we all escaped And I followed the gym kids into the woods. I climbed onto a tree to get a better view but didn’t get too high. I then saw the ugliest thing on Earth. It was Art possessed by the hulk possessed by Voldemort named Pinhead (I prefere poopy head). Pinhead(poopy head) was dragging Gideon dat fat guy around and around in a circle and we watched as entertainment. Then, I made a stoopid decision to fight dat monster with a stick I broke off a tree. I failed and he started to chase ME in circles around and around. Then, Irene did the most stoopid thing on earth by betraying and got herself into trouble. She first kicked meh but I was waaaaaaaaaaaay stronger than her and I beat her, then, dat pinhead started to chase Irene and I had a run towards the lake. It took a while but I successfully escaped dat crazy pinhead and arrived at dat lake. When I was there, Burzin was making out with a crocodile woman who appeared out of nowhere. I decided to fight dat crocodile woman but for some unknown reason, I failed. Then, all of us made a run back to the shabby hut where the other kids were. They were building a force field around the hut. Then, Gideon came running back and said that he was leaving and me and several other people hopped onto the bus and

drove off. After a little but, we arrived at a tunnel made of rock. We crossed it but the rocks collapsed and we were stuck.

David Creative writing I then wake up in the middle of the night seeing people talking in the courtyard. I go there and we start talking, we realise that some people are missing, that Burzin’s window is smashed, and that we saw some flashlights going around the house before. We start then talking about what should we do. We were saying either fortifying the cabin searching for them or either running away. After a few minutes of talking about our survival plan, we decide to stay and fortify since we don’t have much time and that they can have a place to stay when they come back. In waiting, we can’t help them and they must stay on their own. We start taking all the necessary food in one room and start to nail wood planks onto the windows and wall. We then see Flora running back with some people bleeding coming back to the house. We then hear after a voice screaming for help, I then go out in the dark to see Gideon bleeding with a broken ankle. I bring him back to the cabin and then he asks what are we doing. Gavin then respond in an energetic way that we are fortifying the cabin. Gideon then start screaming at us about how big the beast actually is. He then goes towards the bus saying that he’s getting out of here. I join him with some other people onto the bus. Gideon turns on the engine and we start to leave the area happily and peacefully. We travel through the mountain tunnel as we see animals. As we enter the tunnel, everything around us goes dark. Something wasn’t right, a horrible sound happens then we all get hurt by getting flung onto the seats in front of us. As we look around, Gideon starts getting mad and hitting the steering wheel. As the lights turn on we all see tunnel walls as rocks and realise that the tunnel caved in.

Gideon then puts the bus in reverse and we hear extremely loud sounds of the bus backing up. Almost every deadly object in the valley can hear us backing out of the tunnel. I am not frightened that I may die but, I am frightened that I may never get out of here and be haunted.

What dangers have we unleashed?

Christina Ye

This creature, eight foot and albino, was looming over us. In some ways, he looked like one of those inflatable cheese strings used for marketing. He was as skinny as a stick, with sharp thorns sticking out of his forehead. He made no sounds, but rustled about in the leaves. Pinhead, we called him.

Now that I think about it, the name “Pinhead” is far less menacing than the actual creature. We bounced into action, Flora sliding down the oak tree. Irene came to join us, and soon Pinhead had his gaze fixed on Flora, ready to strike any moment.

She leaped forward, charging at him with a stick she had picked up along the way.

With a yell, Flora attempted to stab him, but the stick broke within contact of his stony legs and she crashed into the bushes.

I was skulking around in the trees, hoping to follow Pinhead, who now has Flora at his feet and Gideon on his arm. Instead of trying to help, Irene launched at Flora and looked like she wanted to stab her, instead missing and landing on the ground beside her. Thank god, because I don’t know what would have happened if we lost another person today. We decided to split up, but before we could carry on with the plan, Flora dashed into the clearing and over to the river. Surprisingly, Pinhead let her go, and turned back to us in a matter of seconds. He started to approach Irene, slowly but carefully making his way out of the trees. Meanwhile, Gideon was moaning in pain, and had several bad bruises across his legs. I knew I had to create some sort of diversion, so I scanned the forest for any ideas.

Just in front of me, there was another bush which would serve as a perfect hiding spot. As I prepared to take off, I made sure PInhead was at the edge of the forest, not too close but not too far. I sprinted out of the bush and ran as fast as I

could to the other side of the clearing, barely missing Pinhead’s long arms. I hid behind the tree trunk and the creature came after me, his stalky feet making large crunching sounds on the ground. I tried my best to blend in, and Pinhead walked right past me. I creeped away and met Irene and Gideon so we could talk about what to do next. Pinhead certainly isn’t smart, and it was pure luck I managed to survive.

We decided to follow him deeper into the forest, maintaining a steady gap in between us and the creature.

He approached a cave covered in moss, and went inside. After a couple of minutes, he returned and we went separate ways. Irene went to explore the cave while I continued following him back to the edge. Once she had gone, I followed Pinhead all the way to the edge of the forest, where he sat down and tried to think. It took him awhile, and gave me extra time to study what was going on at the cabin.

Squinting, I could make out a large portion of the group heading to the bus, loading their stuff onto the bottom compartment.

The others stayed behind, and waved goodby to our other members. Faint music began playing, and the crew began getting to work, fortifying the entire cabin.

They patched up the windows, which was how Burzin was taken, and doubled up on nails where needed. All exits were stable, and I watched as they finished the last part, exhausted and ready to go inside. Suddenly, Pinhead began laughing, but not the nice kind of laugh. His laugh was one you would see in movies, like a deeper witch cackle with a devil’s stare. At first, I nearly screamed when I heard it, and had no choice but to keep my cover.

For the next while, I preoccupied myself with dirt drawings, picking up sticks and stones and carving drawings into the soil. It was a boring passtime, but nonetheless I carried on. After a while, I heard a strange beeping noise and jolted upright to see the latest confusion. It was the bus, backing out of the tunnel. I had no

idea what had happened, and could only make out mere figures from the distance. It certainly wasn’t good news though, and I turned to see what Pinhead was doing.

By accident, I brushed one of the twigs on my hand and made a snapping sound, cringing at the effect. Pinhead twirled to my direction, and I froze in place. He seemed not to notice, and I barely got away. It was a close one, that’s for sure.

Pinhead seemed to scan the woods, as if he knew someone was following him. Once he was finished, he stood up, and walked towards the cabin with a maleficent smile on his face. Why does this trip never end, and how are we still stuck here?

The Aftermath of The basement…

A few professor’s had disappeared, including the traitor Professor Burzin. We had struck up a heavy conversation about what we shall do, some people claimed there were “Pinhead’s” that were looking for their fellow friend (apparently the spikey ball she found) who was with Professor Angela.

“Steal the bus and illegally drive it?”

“No no, we should smash all those creepy things,” “Are you stupid? We should kidnap Gideon and Art to see what they know!” Were some things people suggested.

“What about what about fortifying this place?” Someone said.

“Oh let’s do that!”

Everyone started walking back inside and taking long tables and placing them against the doors, we used all sorts of materials to board up the windows and cracks, especially the basement.

“Ugh what’re you guys doing?” Art says emerging out of the forest with scratches all over with a clear limp. “Wait don’t board up the windows yet!”

“Oh where were you?” I asked Art, raising my eyebrows at the state he was in.

“I-I Got attacked! There were M-Monsters where I was staying!” Art says shuddering at the thought of it. “Are you guys planning on staying? Because if you want to you can come with me onto the bus!”

Everyone went on the bus except for this upper year in the gym group named jayden (also the one who tried to sneak the doll in Prof.Bruzin’s room), Prof.Irene and me.

“I’m gonna die, will I die if I go on the bus?” Flora asked herself while absentmindedly walking onto the bus.

“Are you guys sure about this?” Art asked worriedly, I just noticed he had lost his cheerfulness when he returned from the lake.

“I’m as sure as I can be,” I said sitting down on the patio and taking out my book. “Plus we’ll walk back if we have to.” I add hastily.

“Alright then, no regrets?” Art asked, no one objected. We watched them drive off into the tunnel and disappear the further they went. We went back inside and continued boarding up the only entrance until there wasn’t an entrance nor exit to this cabin.

“Oh no, what if we run out food?’ I ask myself at the last moment. Just as I try to figure out solutions, we hear a distant crash.

“What was that?” someone asked from a different room.

“Probably Gideon freaking out and accidentally crashing the bus,” I say, not a least bit worried, plus I also wanted Art and Gideon dead when I met them. But I never knew how my guess was to the truth.

Angie’s 400 word (precisely) thing about what happened this session We started in the cabin, and David goes after Gideon. Gideon comes back with a broken nose and everything. Gideon is extremely fed up with this cabin and thinks the cabin is crazy and insane, so he decides to get in the bus and go away. My character decides to go on the bus with Gideon, and so do a lot of my other classmates. Only 3 (I think?) classmates stay in the cabin, which we decided to fortify, just in case. We are in the bus, driving through the tunnel, and suddenly we hear a big boom sound, and we realize that the tunnel has caved in, so our path was blocked. Gideon puts the bus into reverse and we back out of the cave. Back over at the cabin, Pinhead does this crazy creepy evil laugh thing, and Pinhead starts walking toward the cabin. Meanwhile, Burzin is stuck in an elevator that feels like it’s going down, and he sees another elevator coming closer to his. In that elevator, there’s a girl dressed as a ballerina, facing away from him. It looks like the girl is kind of crying. Irene is also in an elevator, but not in the exact same elevator as Burzin. Just like Burzin, Irene also sees another elevator right beside hers, and when she looks through the glass, Irene sees something white sitting inside the other elevator. Irene’s just standing there being a normal human being, and a light flicks on. The white furry thing sitting down suddenly stands up and turns around, now facing Irene. It’s a werewolf, and it’s standing there looking like a crazy idiot. Burzin is watching the little girl, then out of curiosity and stupidity, decides to knock on the glass of his elevator, trying to get the girl’s attention. Burzin actually gets the girls attention. She turned around and then she smiled, still half crying. When Burzin looked at her, her teeth were sharp, like, very sharp, and it looked like there was blood dripping down her teeth. At the end of the session, I'm pretty sure my character was still in the bus. My character was feeling extremely cranky and not exactly very happy about the situation. My character just wants to go back to school, and then get memory loss so I can forget about everything.

… As I followed Lucas and Jayden to the lake, I can see that they seemed to be out of sanity. They kept walking towards the lake, and when they were just on the edge of the lake, they still had no intention to stop. My heart sank and fear was in my eyes. I quickly ran towards them and grabbed them by the shirt to prevent them from walking. I saw Jayden shimmer for a second, and looked back. I can tell that he has found his sanity again, and looked a bit confused. However, as I looked at Lucas, he did not turn back like Jayden did, but kept walking towards the middle of the lake. Jayden and I glanced at the middle of the lake; There sat a beautiful woman with a long grey dress and her motion looked like she was singing. However, no sound came out of her mouth. Jayden quickly hugged Lucas’ waist, stopping him from walking further, and he was finally back, too. However, just when everything seemed sane again, I looked back at the woman; Her beautiful lips had widened across the two sides of her face and inside were large fangs! ​That’s why Lucas and Jayden were acting so strangely! They were under a spell cast by her! I​ thought.

Clutch-clutch-clutch. H ​ er gigantic mouth clashed in as she slowly began to move away from the water, and towards Lucas and Jayden. Out of fear, Jayden and Lucas decided to look in the water for weapons. Jayden found a large tree-root of a very old tree, while Lucas came out with nothing in his hands but mud. “Hiyaaa!” As Jayden raised the tree-root above his head and charged furiously towards the woman, the woman did not carry a single wound, but bit harshly into Jayden’s hand. Lucas, with nothing in his hand, pulled out a spork from his pocket and stabbed it in the woman’s eye. However, Lucas also got bit by the woman. I, who witnessed all this, decided to run back to the cabin and ask for help as I had a definite sensation that if I helped them, I would end up in the same situation, while losing the opportunity to ask for help. At last, Lucas and Jayden came back. Then, Gideon returned from the bus with wounds, so most of us decided to investigate the bus. As most of us loaded onto the bus, we found a tunnel cave in! We were trapped in there and home free.

With all of us trapped here, I regretted deeply going onto the bus.

stumbling steps on the stairs to the driver's seat, from there I could see someone stumbling backwards, or maybe crab walking?

It was hard to tell, “AH! Oh it’s a student! Please get rid of that!” Gideon says ducking behind the driver’s seat.

“Get rid of wh-, oh…” I say looking at a figure at the back of the bus, it had stunning yellow eyes and claws. “So you want me to get rid of some kid’s pet?” I ask, pointing at the giant feline-like animal.

I looked at Gideon questionly, but he was no longer listening, he was rummaging through a duffel bag.

“Aha! Found it, move please!” Gideon says, pulling out a red flashlight, he turns it on with a flick and aims the beam of light at the creature.

There’s a glint of it’s beautiful yellow eyes and it’s gone. Everything’s quiet., the CD player wasn’t playing the dusty old song anymore.

“Ah finally some peace and quiet,” I say as I take out a mini book that was stashed in my pocket for moments like this. “Gideon, do you mind turning the bus lights on?”

“Huh? Oh um uh alright” He stammers as he tries to find the button.

Just as the lights flicker on a scream issues from the barnhouse.

“Maybe the creature gobbled up a few of my comrades,” I say without looking up. “Well I gotta thank the owner of this cat, even if thanking isn’t my thing,” Gideon looked worried at the thought of that and fled the bus, “We gotta check them!” He says as he turns off the lights and runs. Well he didn’t give me a choice did he? So I walk outside into the chilly air, barefoot for the whole entire drama scene. Most of the students from Harvard that came were outside in the courtyard. I hung around a sulking willow tree, took out a book and sat on a branch.

“Ah the bus was too stuffy, this place is breezy and nice.” I say to myself. Plus, who needs a light to read when you technically have to live in the dark?

What dangers have we unleashed? Pt.Ⅰ Ⅳ A few professor’s had disappeared, including the traitor Professor Burzin. We had struck up a heavy conversation about what we shall do, some people claimed there were “Pinhead’s” that were looking for their fellow friend (apparently the spikey ball) who was with Professor Angela.

“Steal the bus and illegally drive it?”

“No no, we should smash all those creepy things,” “Are you stupid? We should kidnap Gideon and Art to see what they know!” Were some things people thought about what we should do.

“What about what about fortifying this place?” Someone finally suggested.

“Oh let’s do that!”

Everyone started walking back inside and taking long tables and placing them against the doors, we used all sorts of materials to board up the windows and cracks, especially the basement.

“Ugh what’re you guys doing?” Art says emerging out of the forest with scratches all over with a clear limp. “Wait don’t board up the front door yet!”

“Oh where were you?” I asked Art, raising my eyebrows at the state he was in.

“I-I Got attacked! There were M-Monsters where I was staying!” Art says shuddering at the thought of it. “Are you guys planning on staying? Because if you want to you can come with me onto the bus!”

Everyone went on the bus except for this upper year in the gym group named Jayden (also the one who tried to sneak the doll in Prof.Bruzin’s room), Professor Irene and me.

“I’m gonna die, will I die if I go on the bus?” Flora asked herself while absentmindedly walking onto the bus.

“Are you guys sure about this?” Art asked worriedly, I just noticed he had lost his cheerfulness when he returned from the walk.

“I’m as sure as I can be,” I said sitting down on the patio and taking out my book. “Plus we’ll walk back if we have to.” I add hastily.

“Alright then, no regrets?” Art asked, no one objected. We watched them drive off into the tunnel and disappear the further they went. We went back inside and continued boarding up the only entrance until there wasn’t an entrance nor exit to this cabin.

“Oh no, what if we run out food?’ I ask myself at the last moment. We suddenly hear a distant crash.

“What was that?” someone asked from a different room.

“Probably Gideon freaking out and accidentally crashing the bus,” I say, not a least bit worried, plus I also wanted Art and Gideon dead when I met them. But I never knew how close my guess was to the truth.

What dangers have we unleashed? Pt.Ⅱ Ⅴ As the crashes and echoes stop, Jayden stands up and walks inside the gym groups room and closes the door behind him. I look around the hallway, one of the professor's room door is wide open. There’s a journal no bigger than a small notepad, the pages that were tinted yellow were drifting lazily as if there was a breeze. That had gotten my attention, I walked inside the room towards the desk it was resting on. I pick it up, my eyes transfixed to the front cover, it reads: ​August.T​. I​ decided to leaf through the journal, it was very small and had looked like it had around a hundred pages.

April 15th, 1684 Momma had just contacted Dr. Joseph, he told Momma that Betsie wouldn’t make it.

He had said “Poor poodle has been keeping quiet about this disease for weeks or even months, it’s too late.”

Momma treasured Betsie a lot since Maragaret had left for some grand college, she cried for hours non stop, nothing me and Walter said would calm her down.

April 30th, 1684

Angela Creative Writing 5: What dangers have we unleashed?

So, if you remember, last time we were stuck in the tunnel which basically collapsed on us. We managed to get out of the bus and at least survive. The cabin group is in the cabin doing some random stuff since they really can’t leave. I think they might be playing games but I hope they are reading or doing math. These kids got a lot of time, they better be studying and doing productive things. Anyways, on our end, we attempted to clear the tunnel. It didn’t go our way but we somewhat cleared it? As we took a somewhat relieved breath we saw at the edge of our eye, Gideon jumping? At least it looked like him. We turned around to see Gideon jumping. My heart skipped a beat as he was about to plunge down. Fortunately, he decided to stop.. We were honestly so tired and confused at this point, I mean, my students and my fellow professors might not be but I am so tired and confused. I thought this was all a fever dream but I guess it wasn’t? We then heard a shriek coming from the elevator group? We weren’t there to harness what happened but we were sure it wasn’t something good.. “Woah…” I said very unconsciously and tiredly. Flora then decided to go to the woods and have an adventure. She went solo and although I don’t know the details, I’m sure she was about to die there. I mean, how could you let a child go into the forest solo?!?! She literally probably experienced death for a couple seconds. LIKE LITERAL DEATH. I swear she literally died but she apparently didn’t since we saw her? I pinched myself to make sure this wasn’t all a stupid dumb dream, seems like it isn’t.. Anyways, since Gideon wasn’t gonna be driving the bus, I had to take over. We drove near the cabin and we could finally see the cabin again! The dreaded and scary cabin which we fortified. But, this bus was a lot harder to drive then you thought. As I drove down the bumpy grounds, I felt this little tap on my shoulder. I looked back and there was nothing. I continued to drive and felt a larger tap on my shoulder, I looked back to see AUGUST ROOTH?!?!?!? I was so confused and keep in mind, this chaos happened when I was driving, so I just barely crashed into the cabin and into Jayden. Unfortunately, our bus toppled over and we witnessed bus crash number 2...

After Irene decided to stay in the cabin instead of leaving, she decided to explore it and find some new information. As she was walking around the cabin she noticed something about all the paintings on the walls. All the paintings had a theme of something getting trapped and another thing watching. A few minutes after exploring, Irene heard music playing in the barn. As she continued to listen, the music began to repeat the word eventually until it stopped. A few moments later, she heard footsteps coming in the cabin. Irene was confused since all the doors and windows were blocked. As she turned around to look at who it was, she realised someone was there to warn the people in the cabin that there was someone outside. Irene didn't worry that much because she knew the cabin was safe. But just to be safe she went to her room and relaxed for the rest of the day.

By: Irene

So, apparently I was still inside the elevator and not outside.. I kept moving forward.. The elevator kept moving and on the way I saw a smoke shift shaper thing.. Eventually as the elevator kept moving I saw Burzin, inside an elevator and I think he saw me too. Our elevators met up and went to a direction where we saw a lot of other elevators all filled with some kinda monster creature all going in the same direction as us. I waved at them and a Fire creature waved back.

Nothing that interesting happened and not that much happened so I don’t have much to write..

So after we got to the rocks, Gideon really wanted to get out of here so he told us to try to move some rocks. Me and some other people helped, the others stayed on the bus. Every time we moved a rock more would come down. Everything we tried didn’t work so we went back to the bus to see Gideon on a dirt bike about to ride over the rocks. It seems like he was going to make it but it didn’t work. He hit some sort of hexagonal barrier that like zapped Gideon and he fell into the ravine, probably died. I was kinda freaked out because that meant that we had to go back to the camp because there was no way we were getting past that barrier. Somehow Angela got the keys to the bus somehow and she started driving back to the cabin. There was a light in the cabin and we could hear the boombox in the barn. I was very confused because there were no batteries in it and Angela took the CD and she also smashed it. All we heard was “And so Castles made of sand Fall into the sea Eventually, Eventually, Eventually.” Every time it said eventually it became faster until there was a smash in the garage. We drove down to the cabin and there was a hand tapping on Angela we turn around to see a zombified August Rooth there tapping on Angela. Angela was startled and almost hit the gym room of the cabin. We nearly hit Jayden and if we did he would have probably died, but he got lucky and we didn’t, but we crashed the bus.

My story book character(Not me)Flora It all started with a group of students going on a field trip. None of us wanted to, but we had to. We all packed our stuff and got into the bus. I felt mad and weird as I walked to my seat and sat down. The bus driver was a strange looking man with a huge mustache and one arm. After the bus took off, I started to feel sleepy and I dozed off. When I woke up, We had stopped at an old dirty looking gas station and the bus driver told us to have a washroom break. I then started to feel insecure of this guy.

Didn’t he know that we were in university, And for some reason I really wanted to stab him with a knife. A while later, I heard my teachers talking about something, I didn’t hear what it was, but I think I heard a word like stoopid or something. After that, we got onto the bus again and drove off to our destination. When we got to our destination which was a shabby looking house, this fat dude greeted us and said that this was the place we were staying at. I could feel that some of us wanted to shoot him out of a canon, and of course, I did too. After we got inside, we got this long boring lecture about teamwork which is why we were here. I didn’t hear all of it because half way through, I fell asleep.When I woke up, We had already started the first teamwork challenge which required the gym students to play the floor is lava, I had a lot of fun watching. The second challenge required the STEM students to climb up a wall and all of them succeeded. Next was my team’s(the theater team’s)challenge. Our goal is to catch Burzin but I decided that he was too heavy to catch, so I backed off and ended up getting a fail. Lastly was the science/art team’s challenge( I forgot what it was). After the challenges, we met up in the cafeteria and ate lunch. I almost succeeded in stabbing Gideon with my fork, but just then, everyone headed to the barn and I had to follow them.

We then had a party in the barn and Gideon played some weird music that nobody has heard of. After an hour, Art told us it’s time to go to bed.

We got assigned to our rooms and we unpacked our stuff. While I was unpacking, I noticed that our room looked weird and very outdated.

Then, Art said that he would be in the woods if anyone needed him, Jayden thought he was very suspicious so he followed him. When Jayden got back, we discovered a trapped door in the barn and some of us decided to investigate, I was the first one to go down that trap door.

When I got to the bottom, I saw a blue box, a locket, a seashell and a book. I decided to pick up the box. When I opened it, I discovered that it was a music box, but the music inside didn’t sound right. I suddenly got scared and threw the music box away. Some other students picked up the other things in the basement and we headed back to our rooms.

When I got back to my room, I heard a scream coming from one of the private rooms. It turns out Angela had been playing with the ball she got from the basement, and cut herself. She was bleeding really hard but didn’t seem to care much because she was picking pieces of a broken shell off the floor. After Angela dropped the ball(which now has spikes on it), it broke into two. I tried to pick up one of the pieces, but the half started to climb onto me. I started to scream really loud but everyone ignored me. The STEM kids got into a fight, people were helping Angela who refused, I was screaming at the top of my lungs, Lucas was yelling because he solved the code in the book, and the place turned into chaos and Burzin was reading a book. I tried to fight the spike ball and managed to get it off. After that, the place got set on fire and we all escaped And I followed the gym kids into the woods. I climbed onto a tree to get a better view but didn’t get too high. I then saw the ugliest thing on Earth. It was Art possessed by the hulk possessed by Voldemort named Pinhead (I prefere poopy head). Pinhead(poopy head) was dragging Gideon dat fat guy around and around in a circle and we watched as entertainment. Then, I made a stoopid decision to fight dat monster with a stick I broke off a tree. I failed and he started to chase ME in circles around and around. Then, Irene did the most stoopid thing on earth by betraying and got herself into trouble. She first kicked meh but I was waaaaaaaaaaaay stronger than her and I beat her, then, dat pinhead started to chase Irene and I had a run towards the lake. It took a while but I successfully escaped dat crazy pinhead and arrived at dat lake. When I was there, Burzin was making out with a crocodile woman who appeared out of nowhere. I decided to fight dat crocodile woman but for some unknown reason, I failed. Then, all of us made a run back to the shabby hut where the other kids were. They were building a force field around the hut. Then, Gideon came running back and said that he was leaving and me and several other people hopped onto the bus and

drove off. After a little bit, we arrived at a tunnel made of rock. We crossed it but the rocks collapsed and we were stuck. I then decided to make a run back to the cabin and was lost. After a few minutes I heard a second car crash behind meh. I ignored it and kept running forward and almost got lost in the HUGE forest of death.

Creative writing We then get out of the bus and Gideon is saying to himself that there must be a way. I then say with the idea of digging through the enormous rock blocking the tunnel. Some people decide to come and help me to run away from this mess. We then start talking about what we should do to go through the rock, but nothing ends up working because of conflicts. Gideon then has an idea. He opens the compartment that he never let us touch. He then pulls the drawer and it appears that there is a dirtbike in there. He gets on it and prepares the dirtbike. Every time we take out a boulder from the tunnel, another one comes down. The tunnel ended up being thicker than when we started in the beginning. I then hear Gideon revving the engine of his bike. I get out of the tunnel and see him warming up the engine by cruising around. He then tells us that his goal would be to go across the mountain and get help to clear the tunnel. We believe him and let him do his thing. We all backup and right before Gideon goes flying, he gives Angela the only key to the bus that he almost forgot to give for us to go back to the cabin safely. He starts to do a half circle then drives and does a wheelie, he then drives very fast towards the ravine. The moment he hit the ravine, we all got excited because we knew he had enough speed to jump over it. Gideon started cheering in excitement when he suddenly stopped. It seems that he got electrocuted by some sort of hexagon that wasn’t there. We all take a moment of silence to realise what just happened to Gideon. Then we all scream saying what was it. Someone threw a rock and the same effect happened. He starts thinking that it may be some barrier protecting and making nothing going through the camp site. We all go back in the bus and head back towards the cabin. I still can’t process the image of Gideon’s death and that may be my new nightmare that I can’t stop imagining...

What dangers have we unleashed? : II Christina Ye

It had been a while since I got stuck in the bushes. A long while. At this point, there was nothing for me to do. One move, and my cover would be exposed. At first, I drew in the dirt with my finger, but it became too messy and the dirt got tracked up in my nails. Not to mention, I stepped on a branch and Pinhead heard, looking in my direction. I certainly wasn’t looking forward to doing that again. Sure, I had come up with ideas to pass the time, but none attracted my attention span for more than three minutes. I know you’re thinking, “Rose, Why don’t you just take a nap?” You see, life is far more complicated than that. I had considered this possibility, and the temptation to sleep almost had me tranced. But I couldn’t, and I invite you to consider the following: 1. If Pinhead decides to move, I won’t know where he went.

2. I would have to sleep on the dirt ground with insects everywhere.

3. To get in a comfortable position, I need to move, which could tip Pinhead off.

So, sleeping wasn’t a valid option. In the meantime, I kept my eyes on the cabin and watched as my friends occupied themselves with various tasks. Pinhead has already given me two false alarms. He just stood up, smiled, took a step forward and then sat down again. Is it really that hard? I was hoping that the third time, he would finally walk so I could get out of these bushes. Third time's the charm, right?

Needless to say, Pinhead was the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen. His resemblance to the spikeball was uncanny, and the way he walked sent chills of horror down my spine.

Finally, he stood up and seemed to stare at the cabin. He took a step, and walked towards my friends, which were visible through the windows. Out of instinct,

I knew I had to go to the cabin to warn everybody else before Pinhead arrived. I began to stand up, carefully watching my step for branches and leaves.

Unfortunately, I stumbled on a branch and made a loud snapping sound. I froze, crouching as Pinhead turned to scan the area. Luckily, he looked right past my dirty figure and continued to walk. I sprinted along, and ran over to the barricaded door.

Stressed out, I fired a few karate chops at the door, hoping to attract the attention of at least one of my groupmates. Relieved, Irene must have heard the banging and peered out of the window to find me standing there. Confused, she opened the window and ushered me inside. I could tell she had no idea what was happening, and as I closed the blinds she gave me a slight shrug and took off.

In the meantime, I decided to see if the cabin had changed since I left off.

Things looked mostly the same. Couches and hallways filled with small spider webs, and the creaky old trap door that led to the basement. I went and inspected most of the rooms, and I could certainly tell the maintenance improved. Broken windows were nailed shut with wood, and shards of glass had finally been picked up from the incident with the spikeball. Things seemed pretty peaceful, and through the window I could see the bus parking on the gravel as my teammates dismounted. That’s when the confusion started.

I wasn’t directly involved in this, but the screams and shouts were enough to keep me engaged. From the bus, people seemed to file out like there was a hurricane. A few minutes later, I realized they were fighting a zombie. And it was real, that's for sure. Some stayed to fight, while others desperately made a run for the cabin barricade, which we opened and let them through. I had enough for today, and didn’t feel like engaging with the ongoing messiness. Instead, me and the others inside asked the bus crew what happened, and eventually calmed down. I wish we could have just one day of peace, come on!

What dangers have we unleashed?

As the crashes echos stop Jayden stands up and walks inside the gym groups room and closes the door behind him. I look around the hallway, one of the professor's room door is wide open. There’s a journal no bigger than a small notepad, the pages that were tinted yellow were drifting lazily as if there was a breeze. That had gotten my attention, I walked inside the room towards the desk it was resting on. I pick it up, my eyes transfixed to the front cover, it reads:

August.T​. ​I decided to leaf through the journal, it was very small and had around a hundred pages.

April 15th, 1684 Momma had just contacted Dr. Joseph, he told Momma that Betsie wouldn’t make it.

He had said “Poor poodle has been keeping quiet about this disease for weeks or even months, it’s too late.”

Momma treasured Betsie a lot since Maragaret had left for some grand college, she cried for hours non stop, nothing me and Walter said would calm her down.

April 30th, 1684 Walter had been suspended from school, Poppa gave him a spanking.

I could hear poor Walter’s cries from upstairs.

Momma told me Poppa was acting like that because his shop had been disbanded and he was surprised.

Afterall our shop was flourishing with people before.

That was one of the pages, I skipped a few pages and read;

September 12th, 1691 I hadn’t been able to write in a few days, we had gotten a telegram that Maragaret had passed away recently from a sickness and it included her Will that she had written on the deathbed.

November 3rd, 1691 No one had remembered my birthday, Mayor Joan had died on my birthday.

He was close to Walter and I, 9 years ago when me and Walter were too young for school he would always play with us.

January 29th, 1692 New years weren't so jolly either, there were wolf attacks and Walter was killed when he was working at the Mill. This was on his tombstone, 1678~1692 Walter.T Brother and son, he brought a smile to everyone he knew.

His tombstone was among 14 more, I saw his body, poppa said the doctor looked at it and away he was dead, momma cried for days this time. she said this over and over again. “My poor baby was mauled to death by wild wolves, Oh! And he was about to get married!”

Walter was engaged to this woman a few years older than him, he was fourteen and I believe that his fiancee was around 16.

March 15th, 1692 Momma had started to curse this house whenever something unexpected happened, she refused to sleep inside the house when Isabel died from a thief who encountered her.

We lost most of our money and treasures, all that was left was a necklace and a treasured box, Poppa and Momma were devastated.

But the Grim reaper had visited us again, the very next day Poppa was missing, all that was left was his black top hat he was wearing that night.

May 21st, 1692 Monsters have arrived, they killed many of my kind friends, the remaining ones weren’t anymore.

I had also gotten Pneumonia twice during the time.

Momma homeschooled me, all the other kids my age seemed to hate me, they called me “Witch”, “Death girl”, and “Death’s personal assistant”.

The monsters killed many of those kids too, some claimed they were tall and long with needles poking out of their heads.

May 22nd, 1692 Momma died of a heart attack.

It’s just me and the house left...

“What a depressing journal, the monsters seem quite familiar though.” I say without a second thought.

Music starts to play, the same one from earlier today, seemed like days ago. This time I listened to the lyrics.

“I stand up next to a mountain, and chop it down with the edge of my hand.

There must be some kind of way outta here said the joker to the thief there's too much confusion I can't get no relief.

Anger, he smiles towering in shiny metallic purple armor Queen Jealousy, envy waits behind him her fiery green gown sneers at the grassy ground.

And so Castles made of sand fall into the sea eventually.” It plays. But I’m pretty sure someone said they smashed the CD while I was in the bus. I hear a scream as I remember this paragraph August wrote.

May 27th, 1692 The world is unfair The wife and her lover With a secret affair The world knows The husband with fire The wife arose Though she cruses with her final breath To her cold husband By: Adam Sorias This poem has given me an idea, if I crused the world while I am alive wouldn’t everyone else see what I have gotten through? I have killed their beloved children and family, there’s enough time.

The poem never really rhymed nor was it very creative, August also seemed to gone crazy and was a murderer who has crushed the world.

Angie’s 400 word (precisely) thing about what happened this session and so on Okay, so i’m pretty sure the dudes in the cabin found a journal somewhere, and they were reading it. We were on the bus, and we tried to clear the tunnel, but we clearly failed, as we are not out of this crazy hellscape.

Gideon tried to get past the ravine, I'm pretty sure. He took the dirtbike, got the engine moving, and yeeted himself across the ravine. He was living the life and having fun, all the way until something in the air stopped him, and it sent him crashing into the ravine. Because of that incident, Gideon died, I think. Before Gideon used the dirtbike, my character was most likely already feeling very wrong and I KNEW something was gonna go wrong.

However, Gideon still went for it, so it’s not my fault. Since this is a horror story thing, I honestly cannot say what happened to him, since I have no clue whatsoever. I do know I was feeling hella scared though, and I am definitely not going anywhere near that ravine. Next were the elevator people, and what happened to them was just plain crazy. I don’t really remember what happened, but there were monsters, and the girl started singing or something, and there was a guy in another room, and another room looking like the room August Rooth had described. They read the book, about all the things getting in August’s way, and yea. Flora was inside the forest, when she saw the bus coming toward her. She waved like crazy and got Angela’s attention, and she climbed onto the bus. Just after that, crazy things happened. Don’t ask me how, but August Rooth was suddenly behind Angela, and everyone started screaming like it was the end of the world. Angela started driving hella quick, and luckily she saved the whole cabin from almost crashing down. Instead, the whole bus turned and ended up sliding in front of the cabin, and now the bus is completely ruined and probably can’t be used anymore. During this whole disastrous disaster, my character never did anything really big, because people who do big things usually end up dead. Basically, the incident with Gideon then August Rooth scared the hell outta my character, so now I'm just gonna try to stay alive as long as possible.

As we ended up getting stuck in a tunnel by the collapsed mountains, all of us are currently trying to figure out a plan to get out of the tunnel, and out towards the exit. David, Lucas Z, Gavin, Angela L, and I all proposed to dig a tunnel through the mountains. We grabbed the remaining flashlights, and started to slowly move away the rocks to create a path just wide enough for our bus to pass through. Flora at the side, who’s leg is severely injured, saw that this was going nowhere. So, she started to limp by herself back to the cabin. The rest of us kept digging. However, just as Flora expected, the movement of us moving the rocks just engaged in more rocks falling from the mountain. It would take an extremely long amount of time if we moved the rocks like this. Gideon looked at us. Suddenly, a spark came across his eyes. He raised his eyebrows, and let out a grin. He energetically walked towards the back of the bus and pulled out a bike, or some kind of motorcycle. “This is gonna work, this is gonna work, guys!”. He said, full of inspirations. As he confidently sat on the motorcycle, he twisted the handles, firing it up. ​Hrrrr-rrr-rrrr​. The sound of the engine got louder and louder, and the rest of us began to get excited. We all began to smile enthusiastically, seeing that we finally got help. Before he rode his motorcycle, he passed the bus key to Angela L, the only professor. “I almost forgot to give you this bus key,” he said, “It’s the only key for this bus, so don’t lose it. It will help you guys return safely.” As he finished talking, the motorcycle was fired up enough. With a sudden twist of the handle, the motorcycle charged in the speed of lightning as if it was a bull! The motorcycle went straight towards the edge of the cliff, and with a big limp, it flew upwards towards the sky! The rest of us focused on the motorcycle and screamed! The motorcycle was going very high, it would have no problem reaching the other side. We all cheered with hope! However, just when Gideon was about to reach the other side, something that wasn’t there before hit Gideon. Without a helmet, he screamed with agony and fell down. The rest of us stood there with our jaws dropped. “What was that!?” We shouted. David threw a stone at the exact place where Gideon was hit. And it was clear that we weren’t hallucinating. The place that the stone hit created a rim of hexagon, and when the stone left, the rim slowly faded away. It was an invisible wall that was trying to keep us from going out! Angela L, who held the car key decided to drive back to the cabin.

We loaded onto the bus. After a while of driving, we met Flora. We let her get on the bus.

The bus was very quiet, due to the death of Gideon. Just when we were silent, Angela L saw black fingers placed on her shoulder. She looked back; It was a zombie version of August Rooth!!! It was on the bus! It started attacking us all! We all screamed and the bus was in chaos. Angela L, the driver, who was getting attacked by the zombie severely, wheeled towards the left, and managed to avoid hitting the cabin. However, due to such a big turn, the bus crashed and flipped to the left.

“I-I Got attacked! There were M-Monsters where I was staying!” Art says shuddering at the thought of it. “Are you guys planning on staying? Because if you want to you can come with me onto the bus!”

Everyone went on the bus except for this upper year in the gym group named Jayden (also the one who tried to sneak the doll in Prof.Bruzin’s room), Professor Irene and me.

“I’m gonna die, will I die if I go on the bus?” Flora asked herself while absentmindedly walking onto the bus.

“Are you guys sure about this?” Art asked worriedly, I just noticed he had lost his cheerfulness when he returned from the walk.

“I’m as sure as I can be,” I said sitting down on the patio and taking out my book. “Plus we’ll walk back if we have to.” I add hastily.

“Alright then, no regrets?” Art asked, no one objected. We watched them drive off into the tunnel and disappear the further they went. We went back inside and continued boarding up the only entrance until there wasn’t an entrance nor exit to this cabin.

“Oh no, what if we run out food?’ I ask myself at the last moment. We suddenly hear a distant crash.

“What was that?” someone asked from a different room.

“Probably Gideon freaking out and accidentally crashing the bus,” I say, not a least bit worried, plus I also wanted Art and Gideon dead when I met them. But I never knew how close my guess was to the truth.

What dangers have we unleashed? Pt.Ⅱ Ⅴ As the crashes and echoes stop, Jayden stands up and walks inside the gym groups room and closes the door behind him. I look around the hallway, one of the professor's room door is wide open. There’s a journal no bigger than a small notepad, the pages that were tinted yellow were drifting lazily as if there was a breeze. That had gotten my attention, I walked inside the room towards the desk it was resting on. I pick it up, my eyes transfixed to the front cover, it reads: ​August.T​.

Momma treasured Betsie a lot since Maragaret had left for some grand college, she cried for hours non stop, nothing me and Walter said would calm her down.

April 30th, 1684

Walter had been suspended from school, Poppa gave him a spanking.

I could hear poor Walter’s cries from upstairs.

Momma told me Poppa was acting like that because his shop had been closed and he was upset.

Afterall our shop was flourishing with people before.

That was one of the pages, I skipped a few pages and read;

September 12th, 1691 I hadn’t been able to write in a few days, we had gotten a telegram that Maragaret had passed away recently from a sickness and it included her Will that she had written on the deathbed.

His tombstone was among 14 more. I saw his body, violent slashes were everywhere, poppa said the doctor looked at it and away he was dead, momma cried for days this time. she said this over and over again. “My poor baby was mauled to death by wild wolves, Oh! And he was about to get married!”

Walter was engaged to this woman a few years older than him, he was fourteen and I believe that his fiancee was around 16.

The poem never really rhymed nor was it very creative; it seemed unfinished and unprofessional.

August also seemed odd and...

What lurks below… Ⅵ I look back at the journal, it lies on the desk unmoving. I had just placed it back onto the desk, but I couldn’t stop myself to take another look at the journal. It felt as if it was giving me clues but I just thought it was a red herring. I walked back to the desk and picked up the delicate journal that had turned frail. This time I flip right to the last few pages, it’s like a character information page.

Except it’s of August Rooth’s family:

Cleetus Sr : Uncle Cleetus Rooth on Poppa’s side Cleetus Jr: Cleetus is very annoying, he called momma ugly when he was mad. He also enjoys murdering those poor deers for f​ un​. Can you believe that? My own ​brother ​who’s related to me by blood hunts with long d​ aggers​ to purposely slow animals down with injuries so he can go in for the kill.

March 15th, 1692 Momma had started to curse this house whenever something unexpected happened, she refused to sleep inside the house when Isabel died from a thief who encountered her.

We lost most of our money and treasures, all that was left was a necklace and a treasured box, Poppa and Momma were devastated.

But the Grim reaper had visited us again, the very next day Poppa was missing, all that was left was his black top hat he was wearing that night.

Music starts to play, the same one from earlier today, seemed like days ago. This time I listened to the lyrics.

“I stand up next to a mountain, and chop it down with the edge of my hand.

Anger, he smiles towering in shiny metallic purple armor Queen Jealousy, envy waits behind him her fiery green gown sneers at the grassy ground.

Cleetus Sr helps big brother Cleetus skin the poor animal’s hide, they were unfortunate enough to have gotten caught.

Big brother Walter was nicer…

I feel a cold sensation as if something cold was passing through me, I look up to the cause. I see a shadow at the tightly nailed shut window, I peer between the cracks. The shadow moves past the window, I look up to where it was heading. The bus had come back, Gideon was nowhere to be seen and people had injured or creeped out faces. Another shadow whizzes right to the window and stops. I back up a little, the shadow moves into the morning sunlight that barely made it through the leaves of the trees here. I stood there shocked, it was a man who was wearing something that belonged in the late 1600’s. He’s holding something that looks suspiciously like something you would use to skin an animal. He looks right at me, he lifts up a long pale finger and taps the window three times. ​Tap tap tap​. To add to my uncomfortableness he smiled, exposing his yellow decayed teeth. I walk backwards slowly, but he crawls through the window. He hadn’t gotten through completely yet, so I still have a chance I think to myself. I lunged to grab a hideous lamp nearby, but ​Cleetus Sr had broken through the wooden planks.​ I whip the lamp at his head with all the might I had, Cleetus Sr dodges with unexpected agility and swipes a long nailed hand at me. A searing pain came to my hand, with no time to inspect my hand I dropped the lamp no one wanted and ran to the great hall.

“Oh you guys are alive!” I yelled quickly to my class who were all standing in the great hall.

I stop running and sit down on a table which was being used as a barricade. I try to catch my breath, everyone was doing different things, but the majority of them were poking their head through a door that wasn’t barricaded and had certainly not been there before. I quickly stand up and poke my head through, to my surprise I see Art standing there in the “backyard” pointing at the well.

“It’s an elevator!” he says, “It probably leads somewhere, anywhere that’s not here is safe,” he continues waving at us to get in to the well.

We walk to the well hesitantly, the well surprisingly fits all of us in. Art doesn’t get in, it’s too late, a glass elevator is slowly bringing us down to somewhere.

Art smirks at us, I see Cleetus Jr with a long dagger sneaking up on Art. “Art, there’s an undead sneaking up on you!” Someone yells at him.

Art ignores him and says, “Well I guess this class ​will​ get some teamwork lessons.”

Cleetus Sr and Cleetus Jr walk up behind Art and stand peacefully behind ​their master​.

“Uh I guess I could say ‘​Well c​ ome‘?” I say, “Get it? ​Well​ come instead of ​welcome?​ ” I laugh nervously when no one answers.

The bottom of the place is surprisingly clean, it was pearly white and didn’t have a speck of dust. There were marble pillars with gold outlines on both sides of the elevator, big crystal chandeliers hung majestically on the ceiling. In front of us was a long hallway with many doors...

We all stepped out of the elevator, it took a few moments for our eyes to adjust. Inside a room was one big polished Elder wood desk. How did I know? Because I’m allergic to elder wood and started sneezing (sorry elder wand), did I mention I’m especially allergic to big polished wooden desks after living for two days with frail dusty desks? There was nothing else in the white room, there wasn’t even a chair, there was a pamphlet though. I picked it up, it read: Art Goodfriend, Director of Improvement camp. He certainly improved my chances of being murdered, afterall those were his “humans” attacking us.

What Lurks Below

As soon as Irene heard a sound coming from the barn she decided to hide since she thought it could be a zombie. As Irene was looking for a hiding spot she found the perfect one. Irene hid behind some stools in the kitchen and felt safe after that. Soon after she hid, Art GoodFriend came and joined her. Irene told him to go hide somewhere else since he was talking so loud. A few minutes after Art left, Irene heard him talking to someone else. She ignored him at first but then Irene saw Art and one of her friends walking outside. She decided to follow them since she didn't want to be left in the kitchen alone. When Irene and her two friends were outside, Art said he found an elevator in the well. He stepped forward and an elevator appeared in front of them. Irene decided to ask Art to go in first because she thought it could be a trap. But Art asked her other friend to go in first instead of him. When the elevator came back up, Irene finally decided to go in it. When it stopped in a lobby, Irene saw a desk with a pen and a piece of paper on it. She picked it up but didn't write anything since she was confused. Instead Irene just waited for more people to come down and help.

Since I was on none of the other lucky roll and didn’t remember can't be killed vampires that bite brain. Soooo let's vote kill gideon attacks cause THE ODD1SOUT WHAT I WAS to me and he if we attack and to lead to the guy. working with us well even if it's not big loss for hasn’t helped us maybe kill us. evil dude who just the name RACIST

...I am still stuck in an elevator.Yey.. I suppose I could say I’m playing Rock-Paper-Scissors with myself.

I don’t have anything to write about.. I wonder what’s happening with the rest of the people.I hope they're dead. 0v0

The zombified August Rooth was attacking us, so Lucas Grabbed a lighter and lit her on fire and I was waking her with a fire extinguisher. Lucas lit her even more on fire and August Rooth attacked Lucas but he managed to hold her back. Jayden Pried his window open to come out and help. Nobody helped Lucas who was on the bus and everyone just went out of the bus, but Lucas managed to take down August Rooth by ripping the jaw off, but then these zombified versions of people came with long knives so we all decided to ran into the cabin. Flora ran outside for some reason to try to escape and we didn’t see her again. The zombies had gone through the window Jayden Pried open and was attack Brianna and David, they tried to stop him but he stabbed right through everything, they ran away, but David pushed Brianna to the zombie but she managed to escape. The zombies had gotten in so we fell back to find a small open door. We went through it to see Art and Irene there next to an elevator. Art said this might be a safe area if we went through. Irene went into the elevator and it went down. The Elevator came back up so we all went in. As the elevator went down the zombies burst through and came and stood next to Art, that’s when we knew who the true Art was.

My story book character(Not me)Flora It all started with a group of students going on a field trip. None of us wanted to, but we had to. We all packed our stuff and got into the bus. I felt mad and weird as I walked to my seat and sat down. The bus driver was a strange looking man with a huge mustache and one arm. After the bus took off, I started to feel sleepy and I dozed off. When I woke up, We had stopped at an old dirty looking gas station and the bus driver told us to have a washroom break. I then started to feel insecure of this guy.

Didn’t he know that we were in university, And for some reason I really wanted to stab him with a knife. A while later, I heard my teachers talking about something, I didn’t hear what it was, but I think I heard a word like stoopid or something. After that, we got onto the bus again and drove off to our destination. When we got to our destination which was a shabby looking house, this fat dude greeted us and said that this was the place we were staying at. I could feel that some of us wanted to shoot him out of a canon, and of course, I did too. After we got inside, we got this long boring lecture about teamwork which is why we were here. I didn’t hear all of it because half way through, I fell asleep.When I woke up, We had already started the first teamwork challenge which required the gym students to play the floor is lava, I had a lot of fun watching. The second challenge required the STEM students to climb up a wall and all of them succeeded. Next was my team’s(the theater team’s)challenge. Our goal is to catch Burzin but I decided that he was too heavy to catch, so I backed off and ended up getting a fail. Lastly was the science/art team’s challenge( I forgot what it was). After the challenges, we met up in the cafeteria and ate lunch. I almost succeeded in stabbing Gideon with my fork, but just then, everyone headed to the barn and I had to follow them.

We then had a party in the barn and Gideon played some weird music that nobody has heard of. After an hour, Art told us it’s time to go to bed.

We got assigned to our rooms and we unpacked our stuff. While I was unpacking, I noticed that our room looked weird and very outdated.

Then, Art said that he would be in the woods if anyone needed him, Jayden thought he was very suspicious so he followed him. When Jayden got back, we discovered a trapped door in the barn and some of us decided to investigate, I was the first one to go down that trap door.

When I got to the bottom, I saw a blue box, a locket, a seashell and a book. I decided to pick up the box. When I opened it, I discovered that it was a music box, but the music inside didn’t sound right. I suddenly got scared and threw the music box away. Some other students picked up the other things in the basement and we headed back to our rooms.

When I got back to my room, I heard a scream coming from one of the private rooms. It turns out Angela had been playing with the ball she got from the basement, and cut herself. She was bleeding really hard but didn’t seem to care much because she was picking pieces of a broken shell off the floor. After Angela dropped the ball(which now has spikes on it), it broke into two. I tried to pick up one of the pieces, but the half started to climb onto me. I started to scream really loud but everyone ignored me. The STEM kids got into a fight, people were helping Angela who refused, I was screaming at the top of my lungs, Lucas was yelling because he solved the code in the book, and the place turned into chaos and Burzin was reading a book. I tried to fight the spike ball and managed to get it off. After that, the place got set on fire and we all escaped And I followed the gym kids into the woods. I climbed onto a tree to get a better view but didn’t get too high. I then saw the ugliest thing on Earth. It was Art possessed by the hulk possessed by Voldemort named Pinhead (I prefere poopy head). Pinhead(poopy head) was dragging Gideon dat fat guy around and around in a circle and we watched as entertainment. Then, I made a stoopid decision to fight dat monster with a stick I broke off a tree. I failed and he started to chase ME in circles around and around. Then, Irene did the most stoopid thing on earth by betraying and got herself into trouble. She first kicked meh but I was waaaaaaaaaaaay stronger than her and I beat her, then, dat pinhead started to chase Irene and I had a run towards the lake. It took a while but I successfully escaped dat crazy pinhead and arrived at dat lake. When I was there, Burzin was making out with a crocodile woman who appeared out of nowhere. I decided to fight dat crocodile woman but for some unknown reason, I failed. Then, all of us made a run back to the shabby hut where the other kids were. They were building a force field around the hut. Then, Gideon came running back and said that he was leaving and me and several other people hopped onto the bus and

drove off. After a little bit, we arrived at a tunnel made of rock. We crossed it but the rocks collapsed and we were stuck. I then decided to make a run back to the cabin and was lost. After a few minutes I heard a second car crash behind meh. I ignored it and kept running forward and almost got lost in the HUGE forest of death. After a while, I saw the bus coming towards me again. For some reason, the bus crashed and we got attacked by two zombies. The zombie went straight for Lucas.

Nobody moved as Lucas tried to fight off the zombie on his back, so I decided to throw a ball at the zombie. The ball hit the zombie’s face but also hit Lucas. Then the zombie attacked again but Lucas managed to fight him off. I continued to run back to the cabin with everyone on the bus. When we got back, everyone was in the bedroom area, some of the rooms were locked and I heard screaming and fighting. I decided to make a run to the storage room which was a bad idea. I had just ran into the courtyard when a huge hand grabbed my head and dragged me into the night unconscious. It was pinhead.

Creative writing While we were riding the bus, we crashed onto the cabin and the bus doesn’t work anymore and zombies were with us. Lucas brings one lighter and lights one of the zombie’s arm. Gavin then comes with a fire extinguisher and starts hitting the front of the zombie. Lucas continues to light the zombies on fire then gets grabbed. I then think that he’s doomed until Flora kicks a soccer ball at the zombie, but the tables have turned when it bounced onto Lucas’ head. The zombie continues pulling him in while everyone gets out. Lucas then pulls down the zombie and it collapses to the ground. As soon as I saw that, I got out of the bus and waited for everyone else. I then see Lucas coming out of the bus covered in blood and I almost vomited. We then decide to run into the cabin from the front. I just wander around until I hear a baging sound from Jayden’s room. I immediately runs towards the room and meet up with Angela.We try to budge in but don’t manage to. I then head to the teacher’s room next to Jayden’s room and investigate. I move the wardrobe and end up finding another of one of the two way mirrors. I then see a zombie trying to break the barricades of the door. As I continue to look around, I realised that the zombie climbed through the window that Jayden has just opened. I then continue to watch as the ferocious monster is just baging the door. I call in Angela and she comes out to see the action. Then the zombie comes closer and says that he can smell us. He then tries to punch through the mirror to get into our room. I take the painting of the mysterious man torn from dogs and block the mirror. The zombie then punches through the painting with a knife and puts his eye against the wall and tries to see us.

The mirror then fully breaks and the zombie enters, I take Angela and shoves her towards the door we both run away screaming fall back they’re getting in. We continue running until we see nothing behind us and I realise that i forgot to barricade the door.

What Lurks Below Christina Ye

Crash, whack, thump, bang! Those were the sounds coming from the eerie bus, alongside countless shouts of confusion. The fighting re-erupted, and we had no choice but to watch from the windows. Our guardians- Art and Gideon, were dead for all we knew, and we’re literally about to die! Reinforcements were strengthened even more, and we tried to make the best of this sticky situation. I head back into the main room, and find Irene there as well, sweeping up the mess. Suddenly, a shadow appeared from the corner of the room and we ducked out of sight, as we both knew it belonged to Pinhead. How did he even get in?

I was sure we had covered all the exits. The barricade is strong, and there was no way he could have gotten past while I entered. This is a disaster! Irene ducked behind the serving table, and I glanced around and dashed under the picnic table. It seemed good enough, as the red tablecloth covered my limbs and ankles. Luckily, I am not claustrophobic, so the enclosed space served well for the time being. My curiosity was begging to see what was happening, but a single mistake could cause a whole train of events. My only choice was to stay put, when suddenly a figure stepped into the room.

It was breathing rapidly, and certainly wasn’t pinhead. The person seemed to be running around, searching for an exit. She began kicking at the barricade, and soon I had enough. I peeked from the tablecloth and was surprised to see the sweaty figure of Flora, and turned around to see Irene peeking as well. In a flash, Flora teared through the barricade, and ran off. Well, that’s what was supposed to happen.

As her figure disappeared, a large hand reached out from the darkness and latched on to her arm. With a scream, she was pulled off by Pinhead, guessing from the skinny yet long arm.

I carefully creeped back under the tablecloth, and curled up into a small ball. I was anxious, and slowly rocked back and forth on the tiled flooring. Irene, on the other hand, seemed to be talking to someone with a hushed voice. It was undoubtedly a male, but my poor hearing heard nothing more and I was left with suspense. Slowly, that figure began creeping over to me, and joined me under the table.

“Oh! Good. S-so there’s more of us?” It said, whispering. I finally began to realize it was Art, one of our instructors. But, we had grown suspicious after he immediately disappeared when the chaos started. “ Where is everyone? Where did they go?” He continued.

“We decided to split up,” I told him. “ Some of us are still fighting over at the bus. “ You decided to split up?” he asked. “ That’s the worst thing you could do right now! Listen. I think I found a way out… and I think it’s good if you guys know about it.” He said, gesturing to me. “Follow me over here!”

Reluctantly, I decided to follow him. Shortly after, Irene came with us and I was glad I wasn’t alone with Art. He brought us over to the well, and slid one of the tiles open. As we creeped outside, we saw Flora, who was being dragged by Pinhead.

Art winced, but continued with his project. I was nervous, and had no idea what to expect. Suddenly, a glass elevator appeared in the center of the well, and art began to talk.

“You see this? I think it leads to a way out. I’ve never been down there, but it’s worth a shot, right?” You could tell he was uncertain, and I decided to take a look inside the elevator. ​ ​I went inside, and expected Irene and Art to follow. Sadly, I was ditched and waved bye-bye as the elevator descended. It was several meters

underground, and I got out and looked around. The room was white, with a simple desk and a notepad. More elevators were around it, and it became clear there was more than one way in here. In the front, two beige double doors stood visible, and I opened them up to find a nice 70’s inspired room. There was light music playing in the background, and a fancy chandelier hanging from the ceiling. I was so preoccupied that I didn’t notice the elevator beep shut, and had no choice but to advance further.

I turned into the left hallway, and passed a series of doors. They were mostly for storage, but none stood out from the glimmering gold door at the end of the hallway. I raced toward it, and saw the label “Director” with a million shimmering stars around it. Curious, I creaked open the door to find an old yet creepy office. A book and a golden goblet sat on the table, and the weird dog painting was here as well. On the rather messy desk. There was a box, that said “Camp Wannagohome”.

That wasn’t too odd, as it's literally what the camp is called. Directly below it, there was another label reading, “Director : Art Goodfriend”. What did I get myself into?

What lurks below…

I look back at the journal, it lies on the desk unmoving. I had just placed it back onto the desk, but I couldn’t stop myself to take another look at the journal. It felt as if it was giving me clues but I just thought it was a red herring. I walked back to the desk and picked up the delicate journal that had turned frail. This time I flip right to the last few pages, it’s like a character information page.

Except it’s of August Tooth’s family:

Cleetus Sr : Uncle Cleetus Tooth on Poppa’s side Cleetus Jr: Cleetus is very annoying, he called momma ugly when he was mad. He also enjoys murdering those poor deers for ​fun​. Can you believe that? My own b​ rother ​who’s related to me by blood hunts with long ​daggers​ to purposely slow animals down with injuries so he can go in for the kill.

Cleetus Sr helps big brother Cleetus skin the poor animal’s hide, they were unfortunate enough to have gotten caught.

Big brother Walter was nicer…

I feel a cold sensation as if something cold was passing through me, I look up to the cause. I see a shadow at the tightly nailed shut window, I peer between the cracks. The shadow moves past the window, I look up to where it was heading. The bus had come back, Gideon was nowhere to be seen and people had injured or creeped out faces. Another shadow whizzes right to the window and stops. I back up a little, the shadow moves into the morning sunlight that barely made it through the leaves of the trees here. I stood there shocked, it was a man who was wearing something that belonged in the late 1600’s. He’s holding something that looks suspiciously like something you would use to skin an animal. He looks right at me, he lifts up a long pale finger and taps the window three times. ​Tap tap tap​. To add to my uncomfortableness he smiled, exposing his yellow decayed teeth. I walk backwards slowly, but he crawls through the window. He hadn’t gotten through completely yet, so I still have a chance I think to myself. I lunge to grab a hideous lamp nearby, but ​Cleetus Sr had broken through the wooden planks​. I whip the lamp at his head with all the might I had, Cleetus Sr dodges with unexpected agility and swipes a long nailed hand at me. A searing pain came to my hand, with no time to inspect my hand I dropped the lamp no one wanted and ran to the great hall.

“Oh you guys are alive!” I yelled quickly to my class who were all standing in the great hall.

I stop running and sit down on a table which was being used as a barricade. I try to catch my breath, everyone was doing different things, but the majority of them were poking their head through a door that wasn’t barricaded and had certainly not been there before. I quickly stand up and poke my head through, to my surprise I see Art standing there in the “backyard” pointing at the well.

“It’s an elevator!” he says, “It probably leads to somewhere, anywhere that’s not here is safe,” he continues waving at us to get in to the well.

We walk to the well hesitantly, the well surprisingly fits all of us in. Art doesn’t get in, it’s too late, a glass elevator was slowly bringing us down to somewhere.

Art smirks at us, I see Cleetus Jr with a long dagger sneaking up on Art. “Art, there’s an undead sneaking up on you!” Someone yells at him.

Art ignores him and says, “Well I guess this class ​will​ get some teamwork lessons.”

Cleetus Sr and Cleetus Jr walk up behind Art and stand peacefully behind ​their master​.

“Uh I guess I could say ‘​Well c​ ome to the unknown’ ?” I say, “Get it? ​Well​ come instead of welcome?​ ” I laugh nervously at my own joke, no one answers.

The bottom of the place is surprisingly clean, it was pearly white and didn’t have a speck of dust. There were marble pillars with gold outlines on both sides of the elevator, big crystal chandeliers hung majestically on the ceiling. In front of us was a long hallway with many doors...

We all stepped out of the elevator, it took a few moments for our eyes to adjust. Inside a room was one big polished Elder wood desk. How did I know? Because I’m allergic to elder wood and started sneezing (sorry elder wand), did I mention I’m especially allergic to big polished wooden desks after living for two days with frail dusty desks? There were a lot of things in the white room, there was a pamphlet that stuck out though. I picked it up, it read: Art Goodfriend, Director of Improvement camp. He certainly improved my chances of being murdered, afterall those were his “humans” attacking us.

Angie’s 430 word (precisely) thing about everything crazy that happened this session So last session, we ended when August Rooth put her hand on Angela’s shoulder and Angela freaked out. The bus crashed right in front of Jayden, and then we ended. This time, I’m pretty sure it was Lucas L who fought back? Or was it Lucas Z? I swear it was Lucas L though. So basically, Lucas set the zombie on fire, and the zombie started heading toward him and everything. Most of us got out of the bus, like my character did. I’m pretty sure he just got lucky and killed the zombie, I forgot how, but he was like, drenched in weird zombie mesh. We were all out, but the people who stayed behind in the cabin started hiding, because they didn’t wanna be caught. Then all of a sudden, Cleetus sr. and Cleetus jr. appear at the door in front of Jayden, i’m pretty sure? Then, they spot Jayden and start banging on the window, smiling and holding knives(I think?) Okay, so everyone started tryna protect the cabin and prevent anything from getting in, etc. However, Flora didn’t wanna stay in the bOrinG cabin and wanted to get out. Therefore, she started taking away the barricades, which was not a good move, because Pinhead was literally right outside at the moment. Basically, as she was breaking the barricade apart, a hand grabbed her and dragged her outside. THAT was Pinhead, and she literally just got caught. I think it was Christina who saw Flora being dragged away. Anyways, Florra was unconscious and we don’t know what’s gonna happen to her. Turns out, despite the cabin people’s attempts to barricade and protect the cabin, Cleetus sr. and Cleetus jr. still ended up breaking in, and that forced everyone to retreat backwards. So they fell back, and we suddenly saw Art Goodfriend. He said he had discovered something and no longer wished to keep it a secret. It was an elevator, and we didn’t know where it went. Christina stepped up and went through first. She got down, and there was kind of a hallway, with 2 different passages, 1 going left and 1 going right. She chose the left one, and walked to the “Director’s Office”. She went in, and saw a painting of a human being torn apart by dogs while something was standing there watching. THEN, the rest of us decided to just follow christina and step in. Turns out it was a trap, and this was Art’s scheme all along. THE END

After the zombie version of August Rooth was found on our bus, and our bus flipped, we went to chaos. The zombie was on the 2nd row of seats after the bus flipped with Lucas Li. I looked at the zombie with horror and wanted to get away from it as far as possible. While the rest of the boys volunteered to fight the zombie. They first light the zombie on fire, then Gavin grabs a fire extinguisher and starts to hit it with it. “This is a good chance to run”, I thought. However, since the bus was flipped, there was nowhere to get out of the bus! I couldn’t get out of the door, nor the windows until I glanced at Angela Liu. She climbed onto the roof of the bus. I followed her out. When I looked back into the bus, Lucas Li was still fighting the incendiary zombie. The zombie leaned over to Lucas’ face, just about to gnash Lucas’ head! Lucas, tired out by the zombie, was holding back the zombie with his arms, using all his strengths. At last, Lucas holded the zombie back with one hand only, and with the other hand, grabbed onto the wide-opened jaw of the zombie that was just about to bite his hand. ​Crarrrsh! ​With one firm grip and a sudden pull, the zombie collapsed on the ground with its jaw departed from its mouth. When Lucas looked around the bus and to Angela Liu and I, his whole body was covered with the zombie’s loathful blood. Jayden, on the other hand was inside the house, looking at us through a window the whole time. Seeing that the zombie can propose no threat anymore, he smashed the window and got out. He climbed onto the top of the bus, and started helping the others on. One by one, we were all saved, and we went back to the house. Just when we thought everything was at peace again, we heard a clangorous sound coming from Jayden’s room. Jayden, with a tint of unsecurity, backed off far behind and away from the room. David and I decided to investigate Jayden’s room. At first, we couldn’t see anything. But David, through a one sided mirror, saw that inside Jayden’s room was another zombie that was staring at the mirror! “I can’t sees ya!” the zombie said, “But I can smells ya!”. With a wicked smile on the zombie’s face, and with its arms raised, its fists smashed onto the mirror! ​Craaaash!!!! ​Some marks of the broken mirror started to appear- ​Craaaash!!! ​More marks started forming. The mirror wasn’t going to hold for long! David peared at the painting that we’ve been staring at and had an idea. He covered the mirror with the painting, hoping that the zombie will think it’s a wall and be prevented from travelling further into the cabin. However, finally, the mirror broke. I yelled, “Run!!!!”. The rest of the group behind David and I ran back with us two left in the danger zone. Just when I was about to run back with the others, David stopped, and shoved me back towards the zombie! He was using me as a baiter! All I could feel at the time was anger. But at the end, we all got to safety. Later, we met the most unexpected person; Art Goodfriend! The last time we saw him was at the pond! I was so happy that he never died from those zombies! With a couple of greetings, he informed us about the elevator. He said, “People who went down the elevator never came up, it might lead to somewhere safe.”. We all trusted Art and went down the elevator until we arrived at what seemed to be Art Goodfriend’s office with titles of Camp WannaGoHome. All of us looked at the zombies again, and we saw that the zombies were getting closer and closer towards Art! Just when I wanted to inform Art, the zombie surprisingly stopped. Instead of biting quarrelsome on Art like they did to Lucas, they calmly stood beside him, like waiting for orders from his master.

We finally knew who Art was. He was the bad guy this whole time! We all stood there with our jaws dropped. Art looked at us, and smiled wickedly. “I’m sure we’re all ready for some team building exercises!” he said full of joy.

Angela Creative Writing 6: What lurks below…

“BOOM” the bus was now sideways. As my body was shaking, I struggled to get up. I was sorta stuck in the driver's seat. And heavens knew where the door went, it had to be destroyed by now. As we watched Lucas get attacked by the zombie, we knew we had to do something. I looked to the right to see Jayden, staring down at us. He quickly realized the problem of our crash-zombie apocalypse. He tried climbing out the window but it was stuck so he had to fully break open the window so that he could come and help us. I finally saw the door to get out and I pulled myself up. Then, the other Angela decided to come up too so Jayden and I helped her get out. Angie then successfully came up with our help. Now we were at the top of the bus and we could basically see what was going on in the bus. Lucas was still battling this zombie monster. And everyone else was just there doing nothing. So, eventually Lucas decided to throw something at the zombie… and lemme tell you, it was NOT pretty. Blood everywhere, it seemed as though Lucas was a human covered in blood. Everyone else decided to get outta the bus and Lucas eventually (with a little help) made it out. The people inside the cabin, I think they had to hide so we went in and hid with them. They went to the kitchen. We tried our very best to defend the cabin as there were zombies roaming our territory. We were honestly so scared at this point that I could see my life flashing before my eyes. But, you gotta do what you gotta do and that is to keep everyone safe. I’m sure none of these student’s parents signed them up for this mess.. Anyways, we then saw the return of Art Goodfriend. You remember him, right?

The weird guy who was making us do team building exercises during the first episode? Well, he has returned. Flora was then in some dangerous business, she was in fatal danger. I mean, this was all some type of roller coaster. We then had to split into some groups, some of us went in the elevator (I was included in that group) and some stayed. We entered the elevator and we saw the Art direct the other group for something. I couldn’t see what happened entirely but all I saw was the real side of Art Goodfriend.

Elevators

Fun With Elevators

As Irene walked out of the elevator she saw a notepad sitting on a desk. She decided she would go and open the notebook to see if there was anything in it. But when Irene opened it there was nothing. Irene got a feeling that she should write something in it but she just kept it for later.

Soon after the other students came, Irene saw the word hello appear on the notebook. And then, the notepad responded welcome go camp wannagohome how can i help you. Seconds After words appeared on the notepad, letters spelling pinhead appear on the page in red. Then the words slid off the page and pinhead appeared in the room with flora. This caused a huge fight in the room. Stuff in the room was breaking and people were getting hurt. But half way through this fight, a firefighter monster walked out of the elevator and began to fight pinhead. During this fight, Irene finally decided to leave the room and stay out of trouble.

...Yey... Still stuck in the elevators! [And playing rock paper scissors while frantically waving at monsters..]

After being stuck in the elevator for who knows how long, the fire guy’s elevator started moving.. And a few minutes later coming back down. But not with Fire guy, somehow Lucas gets his way down here..

A ‘little’ while later all of our elevators start moving up and the doors open..

We arrive down after being betrayed by Art Goodfriend as I think to myself that Art Goodfriend was more of a “Bad friend” than a “Good friend”. We come down to see Irene with a notepad in her hands. We stand here looking at this notepad until it said “Pinhead” and then it disappeared into the side and then we started to hear a beeping sound. It was coming from an elevator. The first thing that came to mind was that Art was going to come down and try to kill use but as the elevator kept beeping and the number on the elevator kept going down and down and down, until “Beep!” The elevator now said L. Then the door slowly opened and a giant creature came out dragging flora by the hair. This creature was apparently called pinhead and it wanted us dead. Apparently Christina already encountered this terrible creature. I don’t know how she lived fighting this alone, but I’m not going to question it. Everyone starts attacking Pinhead. Lucas attacks it but Pinhead punches him away. Flora awakes from unconsciousness and grabs a soccer ball from her backpack and threw it at pinhead. The ball hit a spike on Pinhead’s head and it deflated. Pinhead got confused by the sound and we had the opportunity to defeat Pinhead. Jayden attacked pinhead hurting it a bit. Irene started walking away into the hallway and I chased after her thinking I could use the pad to find out how to defeat Pinhead. I ran over and snatched the notebook from Irene. I wrote, “How to kill Pinhead,” but the “How to” disappeared into the notepad but the “Kill Pinhead” turned red and disappeared into the side. In the other room, I could hear the beeping of an elevator and I saw an elevator beeping, but this one was coming from underground and the number kept going up and up and up until it said L, out of the fray a flaming firefighter with an axe came out and started to kill pinhead. Flora decided it was smart to run into a battle of two monsters but came out the other side unharmed and without harming any of the monsters. Lucas ran into the elevator where the firefighter came from and went down. After a while, Pinhead was defeated and he fell to the ground with Lucas killing pinhead with a kick to the head. Flora came over to me and took my notepad and wrote “hi” and it said, “ Welcome to the Specimen Containment Matrix, how may I help you?” Then she wrote: “ Can I Die” and it responded “We wish you would.” and then all the elevators started beeping and the elevators started coming up until “Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!” and all the elevators to see all the monsters in the Containment all come out, and also our missing classmates.

My story book character(Not me)Flora It all started with a group of students going on a field trip. None of us wanted to, but we had to. We all packed our stuff and got into the bus. I felt mad and weird as I walked to my seat and sat down. The bus driver was a strange looking man with a huge mustache and one arm. After the bus took off, I started to feel sleepy and I dozed off. When I woke up, We had stopped at an old dirty looking gas station and the bus driver told us to have a washroom break. I then started to feel insecure of this guy.

Didn’t he know that we were in university, And for some reason I really wanted to stab him with a knife. A while later, I heard my teachers talking about something, I didn’t hear what it was, but I think I heard a word like stoopid or something. After that, we got onto the bus again and drove off to our destination. When we got to our destination which was a shabby looking house, this fat dude greeted us and said that this was the place we were staying at. I could feel that some of us wanted to shoot him out of a canon, and of course, I did too. After we got inside, we got this long boring lecture about teamwork which is why we were here. I didn’t hear all of it because half way through, I fell asleep.When I woke up, We had already started the first teamwork challenge which required the gym students to play the floor is lava, I had a lot of fun watching. The second challenge required the STEM students to climb up a wall and all of them succeeded. Next was my team’s(the theater team’s)challenge. Our goal is to catch Burzin but I decided that he was too heavy to catch, so I backed off and ended up getting a fail. Lastly was the science/art team’s challenge( I forgot what it was). After the challenges, we met up in the cafeteria and ate lunch. I almost succeeded in stabbing Gideon with my fork, but just then, everyone headed to the barn and I had to follow them.

We then had a party in the barn and Gideon played some weird music that nobody has heard of. After an hour, Art told us it’s time to go to bed.

We got assigned to our rooms and we unpacked our stuff. While I was unpacking, I noticed that our room looked weird and very outdated.

Then, Art said that he would be in the woods if anyone needed him, Jayden thought he was very suspicious so he followed him. When Jayden got back, we discovered a trapped door in the barn and some of us decided to investigate, I was the first one to go down that trap door.

When I got to the bottom, I saw a blue box, a locket, a seashell and a book. I decided to pick up the box. When I opened it, I discovered that it was a music box, but the music inside didn’t sound right. I suddenly got scared and threw the music box away. Some other students picked up the other things in the basement and we headed back to our rooms.

When I got back to my room, I heard a scream coming from one of the private rooms. It turns out Angela had been playing with the ball she got from the basement, and cut herself. She was bleeding really hard but didn’t seem to care much because she was picking pieces of a broken shell off the floor. After Angela dropped the ball(which now has spikes on it), it broke into two. I tried to pick up one of the pieces, but the half started to climb onto me. I started to scream really loud but everyone ignored me. The STEM kids got into a fight, people were helping Angela who refused, I was screaming at the top of my lungs, Lucas was yelling because he solved the code in the book, and the place turned into chaos and Burzin was reading a book. I tried to fight the spike ball and managed to get it off. After that, the place got set on fire and we all escaped And I followed the gym kids into the woods. I climbed onto a tree to get a better view but didn’t get too high. I then saw the ugliest thing on Earth. It was Art possessed by the hulk possessed by Voldemort named Pinhead (I prefere poopy head). Pinhead(poopy head) was dragging Gideon dat fat guy around and around in a circle and we watched as entertainment. Then, I made a stoopid decision to fight dat monster with a stick I broke off a tree. I failed and he started to chase ME in circles around and around. Then, Irene did the most stoopid thing on earth by betraying and got herself into trouble. She first kicked meh but I was waaaaaaaaaaaay stronger than her and I beat her, then, dat pinhead started to chase Irene and I had a run towards the lake. It took a while but I successfully escaped dat crazy pinhead and arrived at dat lake. When I was there, Burzin was making out with a crocodile woman who appeared out of nowhere. I decided to fight dat crocodile woman but for some unknown reason, I failed. Then, all of us made a run back to the shabby hut where the other kids were. They were building a force field around the hut. Then, Gideon came running back and said that he was leaving and me and several other people hopped onto the bus and

drove off. After a little bit, we arrived at a tunnel made of rock. We crossed it but the rocks collapsed and we were stuck. I then decided to make a run back to the cabin and was lost. After a few minutes I heard a second car crash behind meh. I ignored it and kept running forward and almost got lost in the HUGE forest of death. After a while, I saw the bus coming towards me again. For some reason, the bus crashed and we got attacked by two zombies. The zombie went straight for Lucas.

Nobody moved as Lucas tried to fight off the zombie on his back, so I decided to throw a ball at the zombie. The ball hit the zombie’s face but also hit Lucas. Then the zombie attacked again but Lucas managed to fight him off. I continued to run back to the cabin with everyone on the bus. When we got back, everyone was in the bedroom area, some of the rooms were locked and I heard screaming and fighting. I decided to make a run to the storage room which was a bad idea. I had just ran into the courtyard when a huge hand grabbed my head and dragged me into the night unconscious. It was pinhead. When I woke up, le pinhead was standing in front of me. (get ready for dat cringy par) I tried to get up but couldn’t because Mah head hurt too much. I tried again and was successful. I then realized I still had my backpack on me so I grabbed my basketball out of my bag and threw it HARD towards pinhead. He turned around and started attacking me. Then, a huge firefighter monster guy appeared out of nowhere and started fighting pinhead. We were all standing there watching and I decided it would be a good time to take a selfie for instagram. I took out my 1% battery left phone and took a selfie in front of the fight, sadly, there was no wifi to post it. Then I had the most “wonderful” idea of jumping into the fight and fighting with them.

Unfortunately, I just came out the other side confused about why nothing happened. Then, the firefighter guy had defeated pinhead and we all ran into the elevators for some reason, I got hold of the magic notepad and decided to ask if there was wifi and the answer was no.

Fun with Elevators Christina Ye

Art did this? The same dude who never stopped smiling? I guess it should have been obvious, from his mysterious disappearance to leading us down the elevator. Lesson learned: never trust an old smiley maniac guy. I continued to look around, and briefly scanned the room for any clues about this place. Along the stone wall, around a dozen paintings of old men were lined up in a horizontal line. They seemed to evolve, as the picture quality got better and better, from black and white to full colour. The men all had similarities, and it occured to me that they were Art’s ancestors.

It was their family business, and was certainly a strange one. Luring kids to a strange camp isn’t something worth smiling about, right? All 12 men were grinning just as huge as Art, and it was a little bit creepy having to scout around with them staring at me. To add to the eeriness, the same dog painting that appeared multiple times already was also hung on the wall. Finally, after the information I gathered, I began to slowly understand the strange centerpiece. The painting consisted of three things: 3 dogs, 1 person, and a shadowy figure in the bushes. The canines were vicious, and they are the mountain monsters coming to kill us. We, on the other hand, are represented by the fleshed-out human, who is torn apart by the dogs. Pretty scary now that you think about it. I identified the shadow man as one of Art’s ancestors from the paintings, so that figure must portray Art and their family business.

Beside the door, a long oak desk lay still. It was a mess, from scattered pencils to crumpled up paper balls. Interestingly enough, a large computer sat in the middle with several sticky notes stuck to the screen. I powered it on, and the screen beeped open. The password was pretty easy to guess, and after typing “

CAMPWANNAGOHOME” into the slot, I got inside the device. A chrome tab pops up, and a large dome appears at the center of the screen. It doesn’t seem to be made out of any actual material, and is rather like an outline. However, my thoughts changed after I saw the rest. The dome was covering our area, which means the cabin and hills, the tunnel, and these elevators. It was large, and soon I understood why the dome was here.

In the past, we saw two inexplicable things happen. On the first day, an eagle flew into nothing. It was like it just hit an invisible line and crashed to the ground. The second thing happened when some of our teammates decided to escape on the bus.

I wasn’t there to see, but they explained with somber faces once they returned. The bus got stuck in a stunnel, and the only way across was to ride through a huge gap.

After running out of ideas, Gideon supposedly used his motorcycle to jump over the gap. Halfway through, the same thing happened and he crashed to the ground. It seemed the dome was some sort of boundary, which prevented us from getting out.

Needless to say, it was going to be hard to dismantle the over complicated code.

I turned around to study the notepad and pen, which were identical as the ones in the lobby. The temptation to write something took over, and I began scribbling on the notepad. I wrote the word “hello” on the paper and more words appeared. “Welcome to the Specimen Containment Matrix.” More words appeared, but they didn’t seem to be from the automated messages.

“Where are we?” it asked.

“Camp Wannagohome” the notepad replied, in a simple manner.

Suddenly, the words “Pinhead” appeared on the paper. It was bold red, and slowly slid off the screen like drops made out of blood. Suddenly, a loud elevator ding rang from the back and chaos began. Luckily for me, I was in Art’s office and was safe from the battle. Meanwhile, I continued asking the notepad questions but

the word “error” appeared over and over again, and soon enough I gave up and sat back down. From the other side, somebody wrote “Who is writing?” I told her it was me and Irene responded back. Now that everything was clear, I decided to do some digging on Harvard, who somehow let us come here. It turns out they were pretty quick in letting us come here, and didn’t do much beforehand studying.

I fired questions in and out of the notepad, and soon we managed to pull up an entire list of monsters. As we analyzed each one, suddenly eight dings erupted in synchronized order from the elevator room. Out of the blue, iti appeared somebody else had gained control of the notepad and the words “Kill pinhead” appeared in the same bloody red. Once they faded away, my curiosity could wait no more. I exited Art’s office and ran back to the center room, where I found Irene and Gavin hovering over their notepad. Together, we asked it a couple more things while the loud crashes from the elevator room continued to blast. What is going on back there?

David Creative writing We end up being in a lobby with almost everyone else with us. We have 8 elevators near us that goes around the room, a pen and a piece of paper that seems more or less like a notepad that Irene is holding, and two long hallways leading to two different directions. Christina went to the left, Jayden heads towards the dark hallway and turns to the right. He sees something spooky and immediately comes back to us. We all think of what we should do then we hear a scratch noise from Irene’s notepad and words appear in red written ​PINHEAD​. Jayden gets scared and immediately goes back down the right hallway… While he was gone we all suddenly heard a big BING sound. We all turn around and see one of the elevators coming up until it reaches our floor. The door then slides open and the pale white skin pinhead standing in front of all of us. He then starts growling and walks towards us in huge stomps. I back up as soon as he enters like everybody else in this room. Pinhead also carries Flora with him and she just starts screaming. We then decide to sign a peace treaty, Lucas goes and tries to negotiate with Pinhead, but instead he knocks Lucas out. The other Lucas tries to punch him but pinhead isn’t really hurt about it. I then see Irene scribbling random stuff on the notepad until it somehow turns on and turns out to be a weird specimen. The notepad is able to help us with almost everything. Pinhead then goes to Angela and she runs as far as possible from him without leaving the group. Flora then stands up throwing a soccer ball onto Pinhead’s head and he’s distracted. I see Angela slowly leaving the room while everyone is trying to beat up Pinhead. Lucas then gets back up and jumps back into the fight and Pinhead falls to the ground. I just stand and watch everyone dealing with their own problems. Irene continues scribbling until a weird giant man on fire comes down from the elevator. He

then takes out his axe and start fighting with Pinhead. We all awkwardly watch the battle of the gods happening until people start doing stuff. I decide to throw a chair. It all continues until someone comes and tells us theres a floor filled with lava and we go into the room to run.

“Fun” with elevators We look around the room, there is ​so ​much to take in. Along the left side of the wall there’s around eight or nine paintings, the last few ones are pictures. All the pictures/paintings have things in common, they are all Art lookalikes, and are all males. I look back at the desk, there's more pamphlets, there was an important looking piece of paper that had something to do with ownership deeds or something. I also found a ripped out piece of paper from August’s Journal on Art’s desk.

May 28th, 1692 I can’t believe it!

I found a giant crystal dome that blended SO well with the valley across from ​our ​my cabin!

Maybe I can keep Melly, Oval, Amber, Spikey, Pokey, Lola, Helene, Mavis, Bob, Leah, Jack, Willy, Joe, Robert, Roberta, Cleetus, Cleetus, Dover, (DOH-VER) Qewer, (Q-WERE) LI, Qua, (Q-AAH) Poppy,

Meadow, George, Harry, Voldermort (jk), DE (DEE), and Tusky there!

Strange.

Everyone else was at the desktop computer that was sitting neatly on the desk. It was turned on and chrome was open, there was a tab called; Electric dome and also: cute cat’s meowing. Suddenly, the sound ​ding​ ends our search abruptly. We all look at the source of the sound; it’s coming from the hall of elevators. We all step out and look, the light above the elevator that’s bright yellow shows this, G...​1...2...3...4...5...L… The door of one of the elevators opens, a figure is standing there.

“Pinhead!” A few people gasp, and sure enough in front of our eyes is a “person” with ​pins poking out of the head.

The creature is built like a human that has no apparent gender, no eyes, nose, or mouth. The skin is pale white with a crispy look to them, it looked like a naked slenderman, except it had a rosy tint to where it’s face was supposed to be, it was tall and naked and had long bony fingers. He was clutching the limp body of Flora, he drops Flora, who appears to be unconscious.

Flora opens one eye and says, “How am I-” but she falls silent upon seeing Pinhead.

Some kid named Lucas says, “Wait-” and Pinhead throws him against the wall.

Another kid named Lucas slaps Pinhead, Pinhead took more damage than how much damage a hand should've caused. Pinhead wobbles and falls against the wall, this was the chance I was waiting for!

I pull out August Tooth’s Journal and yell foolishly, “I am August Tooth! Uh-Please stop right now...Dover!”

Pinhead hesitates for a moment, Pinhead recovers and steps towards us. We all back up, miraculously a weird flaming firefighter shows up, well a firefighter on fire.

“C’mon Spikey or are you Pokey? I get you two mixed up.” The firefighter says.

We all stare in shock as this fiery firefighter takes out an axe and starts to hack off pieces of Pinhead. It was disgusting.We hear eight chimes come from the elevator, two elevator door’s open.

Professor Irene and Professor Burzin stand there. They see Pinhead and the firefighter, a sign of recognition flash across their face.

“Quick! Into the lava room!” Jayden yells.

Somehow that gym kid had gone into a room with lava where a test or something was there. ???

Angie’s 400 (precisely) word thing about what happened last session So basically at the beginning of the session, Christina and I think Irene had notepads? They were just there holding the notepads when the word letters P I N H E A D started appearing on the first page. After they are on the page, the page falls off. Christina writes something, but I don’t exactly remember what she wrote, because 1. This happened a WEEK ago 2. So many people asked so many questions that I don’t even remember who asked what to the notepad.

So they write, and meanwhile the whole class is trapped in a room with Pinhead. We are fighting, and either Jayden or one of the Lucas’s get thrown down, but luckily Flora gets him with a soccer ball or something. So she kicked the soccer ball at Pinhead, and he fell. A firefighter comes in, burning and all, and he teams up with my classmates then starts to completely wreck Pinhead. They literally torture him until one of them kicked him down and he doesn’t stand back up. During the whole event, my character is at the other side of the room, hoping Pinhead wont come for me. Angela is also with me during the fight(we both really don’t wanna die).

Jayden is running down the hall, because he wants to get away, when he enters a room. He hears a loudspeaker, and the loudspeaker says something like, “Hello Jayden, I didn’t expect you to get here this early.”

Then it goes, “The floor is lava!!!!”, and the floor actually becomes lava.

Jayden tries to run, but the opening behind him is suddenly a wall. He gets a sharp check, and reaches toward the wall. The walls disappear, and he gets away. I’m pretty sure he comes back to us, and he’s totally freaked out. I don’t know what you mean about “Storage”, i’m just gonna assume it was the elevators that held Burzin, I think Irene, and some other people? I swear they get out at one point, so.. Anyways, someone (i’m pretty sure Christina), asks the notepad what type of things are in here, and it says this is a “Specimen Containment Matrix”, and it holds a lot of mutant things. I am feeling pretty unsure about what we should do, and I'm also totally freaked out at the same time. I’m scared.

After we have been betrayed by Art Goodfriend, all of us take the elevator up and arrive at a plain white lobby. We can see that Briana was in Art’s office, and on the wall there were many photos of who all looked similar to Art. It was placed in a line and at the very right, was a photo of Art Goodfriend. “It looks like Art’s entire family has been doing this for generations!” I thought to myself. Then, the elevator door opened again. We all gathered in the hallway in front of the elevator. ​Ding-Ding! ​As the elevator door slides open, we see that inside was Pinhead dragging Flora by her foot on the ground. Pinhead looked at us and frowned with anger. All of us were stunned by Pinhead getting in the elevator and somehow dragging Flora this whole time. Seeing that we have nowhere to run, Lucas Z first rushed towards the monster and punched it with all his strength. Surprisingly, the monster did not shake a single bit, instead, Lucas flew backwards and hit the wall due to his strong punch.

Then, Flora, who was finally conscious, sees Lucas fighting the Pinhead monster. Flora quickly grabs a soccer ball from her backpack and kicks it towards Pinhead. However, it landed directly on a pin and deflated although it did knock him on the ground. Pinhead, who was sitting on the ground, was clearly distracted. He turned his head slowly at Flora. Just when he was about to get up, Briana walked in calmly. She stood close to Pinhead and said: “I am your master. I demand you to kill yourself.” Pinhead did not kill himself, but Briana had clearly confused it. It sat on the ground still with a queer look on its face. Then, just when Pinhead had stopped fighting and everything seemed calm again, someone else jumped onto Pinhead and with a fire distinguisher, started stabbing it on the shoulder! Pinhead fell on the ground once more, and raised his hand, trying to fight him off. However, suddenly, with no clue of why, another monster on fire walked out and aimed straight towards Pinhead.

As Pinhead finally got rid of the guy who was stabbing him and stood up, he saw the fire monster. The two monsters faced each other without hesitation, as if waiting for the battle to come. When looked back, Jayden, Angela L, and Angie were all out of sight, they must’ve escaped already. Left with Lucas collapsed on the ground, Flora too, Briana standing there calmly, and the rest of us frozen in place with our jaws dropped.

The end… Ⅷ We all went through a door, you weren’t able to see inside the room, the air was opaque (how?!) yet transparent. As we passed through the door I’m able to see everything, the room was the

size of the floor in my house. We were all on a cliff, on the other side was another ledge we probably should go onto. In between was like a zipline course, except there wasn’t a zipline. There were boards, ropes, wobbly spheres made out of wood-and a giant gap that you (probably) have to jump to a net hanging half a meter away. As if there was no other choice, Flora jumps from the cliff straight into the lava underneath the course. There’s a surprisingly loud sizzle. After we recover from that, a loud rumbling sound starts, a shelf thing appears, it has four jars accompanied with stone statues holding a jar each . I look back to the door hoping we’ll escape from this hell but the door, or floating rectangle of white light that was high up near the ceiling.

“Well that was a start! One sacrifice ​already!​ Three more to go than. Well either way, WELCOME TO THE TEAMWORK IMPROVEMENT CAMP! Oh and you ​don’t ​want a teamwork penalty!” Art yells from somewhere through a speaker.

He sounded unusually happy now. I silently held a funeral for Flora, she fell into lava, no way she’s coming back up alive. We wobble around suspended around 5 meters away from the lava, we all finally manage to make it. As soon as the last person’s toe touched the ground a light appeared in the wall, it gradually became bigger and formed a door shape. Everyone silently stares at it.

Art impatiently says, “Well go on. It’s just a door and LED lights on the doorframe.”

It sounded like he was trying to encourage us through the door but it wasn’t working, we all stepped through though.

The next room was freezing cold, yet there was still lava five meters under our feet. There was an ice pathway that led to a slightly tilted very steep ​ice wall. A ​ t the foot of the wall was a messy clutter of tractions, without question we knew we had to climb the wall, so we walked over and started putting them onto the soles of our shoes.

We all almost expertly climb the wall and we’re halfway up when the ice wall splits in two. It literally splits. As if we didn’t have enough disasters, giant blocks of ice start to fall from somewhere on the wall. Someone fell and is dangling by the tips of their fingers.

“Uh oh,” Art says in a mocking tone, “If you fail to save them then that’ll be a teamwork penalty!”

All of us were still climbing, except those who are dangling, as we got nearer to the top the person who fell got up, we also saw the source of ice. A yeti stands at the top of the wall throwing great big ice chunks down the wall. As we get nearer to the top , the Yeti suddenly becomes protective of the top of the wall.

Professor Burzin looks at the Yeti somehow sympathetically and asks, “Hey there, mind if you only let me pass?”

In response the Yeti holds out his hand, Professor Burzin takes it without wasting a second, but regrets it when the Yeti holds him over the bubbling lava. In one swift motion the Yeti let go of Professor Burzin, and the Professor was never to be seen again (or so we thought). Jayden who was busy rummaging around in his backpack while dangerously balancing on a tiny dent in the ice wall didn’t notice anything.

“Aha!” He says to himself as he pulls out a green sharpie.

Suddenly Jayden lunges himself onto the top of the wall and stuffs the foul smelling sharpie up the Yeti’s nose, the Yeti lies there twitching. Just as Jayden defeats the Yeti Professor Bruzin also pulls himself up, he stands up whilst teetering a little and brushes himself. Quickly Jayden throws himself at Professor Burzin, Professor Burzin sidestepps him, now Jayden was the one plunging to

his death. And like there was some sort of spirit preventing people from falling into the lava (except Flora) Jayden suddenly pulls himself up too.

“Um I don’t need to tell you guys but you people must've gotten a world record of teamwork penalties in one minute. You got like, six penalties.” Art says bewildered.

We all made it up onto the top of the wall, there was another door, without a moment’s hesitation we walked into the next room, I was last.

This room was a little smaller, there was no lava, no Yeti, except there were thousands upon thousands of shards poking out from every direction. I was standing on a ledge, I nervously peered over the ledge and saw down there was an area ​without​ any shards of whatever it was. The boy who stuffed the green sharpie up the Yeti’s nose was standing down on that safe spot. This person named Gavin (we still had name tags on) turns around back facing Jayden in a T pose and jumps down.

Jayden catches him, next goes Irene, who looked uncertain but then shrugged it off. Everyone got down except Professor Angela and Professor Burzin.

Next went Professor Burzin, “Here I goooooooo-” He says as he jumps down.

Jayden ignores Professor Burzin and Professor Burzin says, “Goooo-ooooohhhh noooooo” Professor Burzin unfortunately (unfortunately for us) landed on his feet unharmed.

“Teamwork Penalty!” Art yells, reminding me that we were doing death courses that ​he created. Professor Angela was holding onto the bottom of the ledge for dear life. She was apparently trying to climb down herself, just as she prepared to jump down from there a bridge suddenly appeared. It was connected to where we started from and to the un-sharded platform we were on and at last connected to an unnoticed circular disk across of the starting ledge. Professor Angela pulls herself up from the bottom of the ledge and struts onto the bridge which led downwards to the stunned students below. We all one by one walked onto the bridge and walked onto the disk. There was no door. I look around, there is some sort of mist at the bottom, I shiver as I wonder if there are still pointy shards down there. I look up and notice the stone statues of people holding jars. One of the four statues looks like it was splattered with blood. From the furthest side of the disk I see a figure, as it gets closer I see it’s Art. The word traitor enters my mind.

“Congratulations!” Art says to us happily as he claps his hands slowly for more dramatic results.

In a second Art is giving us a well rehearsed speech.

“My family has had an ancient secret,this is the secret, you are standing in it. This is a true story my family tells. Ahem, ‘In this world there is only something called Hell. Created by an angry and foul creature, everyone who lived on earth knew about it, and they feared it. The creature would rain disasters after disaster on all four corners of earth (I know it’s round ok?). The creature became a monster, it didn’t want ​love​ or ​sympathy​, ​kindness o ​ r ​friends,​ it wanted to be ​feared’​ .” Art paused and looked at us to see if we were on the same page as him. “‘To make sure we feared him he made us sacrifice our relatives, friends and family to himself. But decades later people slowly forgot the monster. The monster thought to himself ‘If people have forgotten me then maybe I’m still not ​frightening enough​. So that day he picked one unfortunate person who would fear him the most and killed every single person. He had chosen my great great grandmother August. She was the happiest person alive until the monster struck. All her relatives started to die off until she was left. He then created other terrifying monsters that would be released into the dying world so they could hunt August down. But he never knew that August had survived with the greatest weapon.’ But of course “the weapon” isn’t with my family anymore. August

had died, but she made a contract with the monsters, she would sacrifice four people to Tusky, the leader of the monsters and the Hell monster’s most prized creation. Every Century we will sacrifice these people in this exact room. The last ritual was in 1920, the year was quite close to the start of the Great Depression. ” Art finishes.

The words start to get to us, every decade a ritual? It’s 2020! The last one was in the 1920’s plus 100 would be 2020! Suddenly so many things happened at once, someone pushed Irene to the bottom of the pit, but apparently Irene had betrayed us.

Suddenly a shatter interrupts us, we all look at the statue, one of the jar had blood pouring out of its mouth, the blood was going into the jar, in the jar was a ghostly figure of Flora. The blood had reached up to Flora’s knees. Suddenly we see the semi transparent form of professor Irene in the second jar with blood pouring into the jar.

“Wow! Just two more sacrifices!.” Art says sounding excited.

In response Jayden and Gavin push Art down into the mist.

Art’s ghostly form appears in the third, “Woah woah woah, crack my jar! It’ll release me! If Tusky gets to taste ​one s​ pirit he’ll come up and go crazy! And I’m the only one who can control him!”

Art exclaims.

At that it concerns us for a moment, until David walks off the disk and plummets to the mist.

Now all four jars have been taken up.

“Ohh noooo- The ritual is complete! Tusky is gonna come out now…” Art groans.

The fog has reached the disk now, something unidentified is now coming out of the mist from both sides, they look like buildings, wait no they’re curvy. But then it hits me, it’s ​Tusks​ that’re coming out of the mist, now I’m just assuming that’s Tusky.

Art continues to plead, “NO he’s gonna devour our souls!” Art yells. “Please release me!”

Not wanting to deal with souk eating tusk things I pull out my useless and not-mom-approved phone, I throw with all my might at Art’s jar. It cracks, but not enough, the tuskes have moved over to Art. They started to pick Art up slowly, and Art glided in smoothly against his wills, his screams were covered by the tusks loud noises. As if the (second) death of Art had awoken her, Flora started ramming the jar, she looked at the jar frustrated.

“Just pretend it’s Art!” Someone yells!

With a lot of determination she cracked open the jar, Professor Irene just stared and waved at us. Flora walked over to Professor Irene’s jar and broke her free too, their bodies have become normal again. We hear thundering footsteps from somewhere below, it sounds as if something gigantic was searching for something, a giant tusk suddenly lurches at us. And we took off running to a door that was kind of blocked by the tusk, we darted around it and found ourselves in a monitor room that had a microphone. It must’ve been where Art was watching us, there was also a button called death ray. Glad we didn’t have to experience it.

There are so many screens showing so many places it was confusing, but we recognized one, it was our cabin. The crystal dome was just visible, and as if we were meant to see it, a giant animal that looked like the cousin of Godzilla came bursting out of the dome. I look around, there’s another familiar place, the elevator place. Monsters are pouring out of there, and I’m pretty sure I saw Spikey and Pokey in there too.

The end.

The elevator doors opened and other than me there were the elevator people and a few other monsters. Then I heard Jayden say that he knew a “safe room” and we all followed him.

Inside was none other than Art ‘goodfriend’. Apparently we were now supposed to play a real version of the “floor is lava”. We attempted to get across but then Flora decided to jump into the lava.. Gavin Tried to help her but failed and she sank.. A moment later a picture filled with a red substance which is probably blood.

And we went to the next room

The moment when all the elevators opened we all thought of the same thing: “RUN!” We all sprinted into the hallway and Jayden told us to follow him and we found ourselves in this obstacle course of some sort. The floor was entirely lava and with these rocks where you can jump on. Then on the speakers, we could hear Art “Goodfriend,” and he started talking about team-building exercises. We jumped onto the first rock and then Flora from the back of the group just leaped into the lava and died instantly and floated down into the lava. This girl like Jar thing filled up with some sort of blood. I tried to save her, but I missed her, so she fell into the lava. I thought we were going to get a teamwork penalty but Art said that it wasn’t a penalty and that it was a good thing and said something about sacrifices. We went into the next room which was much colder than the last room. There was a giant cliff we had to climb and there were these ropes and pickaxes to climb up. Irene took all the Stuff so Burzin tried to grab the stuff but failed and then Irene tackled Burzin and dropped all the stuff. We all grabbed the stuff and started climbing up the hill when we almost got there a crack appeared a giant boulder was falling down and almost knocked Annie of the cliff and she was left dangling on one hand. I went over to her and helped her back up. Then the speakers boomed with Art’s voice. He said that it was great that there were no monsters but then suddenly a yeti from the top came and threw a rock at Jayden. Jayden was also hanging on one hand so, I went to help Jayden back up and, we were almost to the top. Burzin was almost at the top and he tried to convince the yeti for them to team up and the yeti put out his hand to Burzin. I thought Burzin had betrayed us and joined the yeti but the yeti grabbed Burzin and dropped him off the cliff. He managed to stay on the cliff but fell halfway down the mountain. We had gotten to the top and Jayden grabbed a marker from his backpack and stuck it up the yeti’s nose and the yeti fell off the cliff and died.

Burzin climbed up to the top and Jayden grabbed Burzin and threw him off but he quickly landed on the mountain and climbed back up. Art boomed on the speakers and said that we got a lot of teamwork penalties and we had to do trust falls. But these weren’t normal trust falls. These were above a pit of spikes. Jayden went down the rope first and I jumped first because I believed that Jayden would catch me because I helped him and I didn’t attack him. Jayden caught me and we told the rest to jump dow and so they did. They one by one jumped down and we caught them.

When Burzin jumped we all went back and didn’t catch him but he caught the side and managed to survive. Angela was the last one and these ants the size of rats started getting closer to Angela and at the last moment she jumped and we barely managed to catch her. We went to the next room to see Art clapping near a pit separating us and a bridge to cross the pit.

He talks about how we have to sacrifice ourselves to these gods and that there is only hell and no heaven in this world and the gods needs 2 girl sacrifices and 2 boy sacrifices, and in these strange jars there is these blood like things and in the first girl jar there is a transparent sort of flora which I thought was supposed to be her soul. Lucas jumps at Art and Art punches him and, he falls to the ground. Jayden runs over and pushed him to the edge of the pit but manages to stay on the edge. Then Irene, after all this time, decided to join Art, and Art tells her to sacrifice some of us. She leaps at me, attempting to tackle me, but I dodge and grab her and throw her in the pit, and Art just goes, “Eh, I guess that works.” The second girl jar fills up with blood and under it, we see the soul of Irene. Me and Jayden go to Art, which he thinks we are helping him, but instead, we push him into the pit, and we see him appear in the first boy jar. David says he has had enough and jumps into the pit and the final jar fills and David’s soul appears in it.

Jayden throws his bag and misses the jars and then I give him a calculator, and he calculates his trajectory and throws the calculator making a crack in floras jar. Then we stop throwing because we think it will mess with the ritual, and the god that Art talked about might wreak havoc on the world if he was telling the truth. Then the ground shakes, and the ritual to the elder god begins, and it comes out of the pit with these horns that looked like buildings, and it took the jars and started to eat the souls the first is David who gets eaten then Art keeps pleading for us to release him but no one releases him, and so he gets eaten. Someone makes a crack in Irene’s jar, and Irene makes it out, and Flora makes it out too. We go through an emergency exit and into a security room with these computers where we see the monsters still fighting in the lobby, and the elder god comes out angry without getting the souls of Flora and Irene and goes to wreak havoc on the world.

My story book character(Not me)Flora It all started with a group of students going on a field trip. None of us wanted to, but we had to. We all packed our stuff and got into the bus. I felt mad and weird as I walked to my seat and sat down. The bus driver was a strange looking man with a huge mustache and one arm. After the bus took off, I started to feel sleepy and I dozed off. When I woke up, We had stopped at an old dirty looking gas station and the bus driver told us to have a washroom break. I then started to feel insecure of this guy.

Didn’t he know that we were in university, And for some reason I really wanted to stab him with a knife. A while later, I heard my teachers talking about something, I didn’t hear what it was, but I think I heard a word like stoopid or something. After that, we got onto the bus again and drove off to our destination. When we got to our destination which was a shabby looking house, this fat dude greeted us and said that this was the place we were staying at. I could feel that some of us wanted to shoot him out of a canon, and of course, I did too. After we got inside, we got this long boring lecture about teamwork which is why we were here. I didn’t hear all of it because half way through, I fell asleep.When I woke up, We had already started the first teamwork challenge which required the gym students to play the floor is lava, I had a lot of fun watching. The second challenge required the STEM students to climb up a wall and all of them succeeded. Next was my team’s(the theater team’s)challenge. Our goal is to catch Burzin but I decided that he was too heavy to catch, so I backed off and ended up getting a fail. Lastly was the science/art team’s challenge( I forgot what it was). After the challenges, we met up in the cafeteria and ate lunch. I almost succeeded in stabbing Gideon with my fork, but just then, everyone headed to the barn and I had to follow them.

We then had a party in the barn and Gideon played some weird music that nobody has heard of. After an hour, Art told us it’s time to go to bed.

We got assigned to our rooms and we unpacked our stuff. While I was unpacking, I noticed that our room looked weird and very outdated.

Then, Art said that he would be in the woods if anyone needed him, Jayden thought he was very suspicious so he followed him. When Jayden got back, we discovered a trapped door in the barn and some of us decided to investigate, I was the first one to go down that trap door.

When I got to the bottom, I saw a blue box, a locket, a seashell and a book. I decided to pick up the box. When I opened it, I discovered that it was a music box, but the music inside didn’t sound right. I suddenly got scared and threw the music box away. Some other students picked up the other things in the basement and we headed back to our rooms.

When I got back to my room, I heard a scream coming from one of the private rooms. It turns out Angela had been playing with the ball she got from the basement, and cut herself. She was bleeding really hard but didn’t seem to care much because she was picking pieces of a broken shell off the floor. After Angela dropped the ball(which now has spikes on it), it broke into two. I tried to pick up one of the pieces, but the half started to climb onto me. I started to scream really loud but everyone ignored me. The STEM kids got into a fight, people were helping Angela who refused, I was screaming at the top of my lungs, Lucas was yelling because he solved the code in the book, and the place turned into chaos and Burzin was reading a book. I tried to fight the spike ball and managed to get it off. After that, the place got set on fire and we all escaped And I followed the gym kids into the woods. I climbed onto a tree to get a better view but didn’t get too high. I then saw the ugliest thing on Earth. It was Art possessed by the hulk possessed by Voldemort named Pinhead (I prefere poopy head). Pinhead(poopy head) was dragging Gideon dat fat guy around and around in a circle and we watched as entertainment. Then, I made a stoopid decision to fight dat monster with a stick I broke off a tree. I failed and he started to chase ME in circles around and around. Then, Irene did the most stoopid thing on earth by betraying and got herself into trouble. She first kicked meh but I was waaaaaaaaaaaay stronger than her and I beat her, then, dat pinhead started to chase Irene and I had a run towards the lake. It took a while but I successfully escaped dat crazy pinhead and arrived at dat lake. When I was there, Burzin was making out with a crocodile woman who appeared out of nowhere. I decided to fight dat crocodile woman but for some unknown reason, I failed. Then, all of us made a run back to the shabby hut where the other kids were. They were building a force field around the hut. Then, Gideon came running back and said that he was leaving and me and several other people hopped onto the bus and

drove off. After a little bit, we arrived at a tunnel made of rock. We crossed it but the rocks collapsed and we were stuck. I then decided to make a run back to the cabin and was lost. After a few minutes I heard a second car crash behind meh. I ignored it and kept running forward and almost got lost in the HUGE forest of death. After a while, I saw the bus coming towards me again. For some reason, the bus crashed and we got attacked by two zombies. The zombie went straight for Lucas.

Nobody moved as Lucas tried to fight off the zombie on his back, so I decided to throw a ball at the zombie. The ball hit the zombie’s face but also hit Lucas. Then the zombie attacked again but Lucas managed to fight him off. I continued to run back to the cabin with everyone on the bus. When we got back, everyone was in the bedroom area, some of the rooms were locked and I heard screaming and fighting. I decided to make a run to the storage room which was a bad idea. I had just ran into the courtyard when a huge hand grabbed my head and dragged me into the night unconscious. It was pinhead. When I woke up, le pinhead was standing in front of me. (get ready for dat cringy par) I tried to get up but couldn’t because Mah head hurt too much. I tried again and was successful. I then realized I still had my backpack on me so I grabbed my basketball out of my bag and threw it HARD towards pinhead. He turned around and started attacking me. Then, a huge firefighter monster guy appeared out of nowhere and started fighting pinhead. We were all standing there watching and I decided it would be a good time to take a selfie for instagram. I took out my 1% battery left phone and took a selfie in front of the fight, sadly, there was no wifi to post it. Then I had the most “wonderful” idea of jumping into the fight and fighting with them.

Unfortunately, I just came out the other side confused about why nothing happened. Then, the firefighter guy had defeated pinhead and we all ran into the elevators for some reason, I got hold of the magic notepad and decided to ask if there was wifi and the answer was no. The elevator took us to a room full of lava. It was like the room we had done the challenge in. I didn’t want to do the challenge anymore so I jumped into the lava, Gavin tried to stop me but failed and I fell in the lava. I fell into a deep sleep and when I woke up, I thought I was in heaven, but surprisingly, I was in a jar full of this weird blood like liquid with the other

students and Art was in front of me. The other students were fighting Art who was trying to explain something, and succeeded in pushing him down the platform. I then noticed Art and Irene beside me. They were both in jars as well. After that, we heard a giant ROAR and saw a yeti above us. The Yeti was throwing giant snowballs at us and one of them cracked my jar and the liquid started to leak out. I started to break out of my jar and some students helped me and I succeeded. We all rushed to an emergency exit that led to a security room and we knew we were safe.

Suddenly, all the elevators open at once and monsters start fighting each other. Jayden tells us all to go to the lava room since we have no other choice. The room quickly gets filled as we all rush into the room. The floor is full of lava and above it is a few wood planks to stand on. Art then just appears at the other side and tells us about teamwork penalties and we must be on a team. People start working together and gradually go across the room. Flora then suddenly runs and jumps towards the lava.

Our Fate ​ hristina Ye C

“RUN!” a voice said, screaming at the top of it’s lungs. “RUN! TO THE LAVA ROOM!” They barged into the main room where Irene, Gavin and I were, and Jayden led the pack in frantic shouts. Confused, we had no choice but to follow him down the hall. Notepad in hand, the door to the lava room busted open and a series of low ropes dangled from the ceiling. The walls were opaque white, and as the monsters from the elevators got closer and closer we knew we had to get across. The gym students started helping everyone up and about the ropes, and though it was hard to keep my grip, occasionally little grooves in the wall allowed for a rest.

The room was strange, as the wall, made out of a certain indescribable material, didn’t seem to be affected at all by the lava. It attracted no heat, and unlike the walls each and every one of us was sweating. As I got about halfway through the course, Art’s voice boomed through the speaker, “ Ha! Time to do some parkour, shall we? You better not receive any… team penalties.” Suddenly, Flora leapt off the platform and landed straight into the burning lava, and with a sizzle she dissolved out of sight. We certainly aren’t off to a good start. Following her death, a stone panel at the back of the room slid open, and four carvings were engraved into the wall. The first two were women, while the other two carvings were men. Four jars hovered above their heads, which were connected to the carvings with a hollow tube.

As we watched, one of the jars filled with blood, and the first carving of the woman filled with the liquid. This is definitely not how I want to die, so I carefully made it to the next platform. Art spoke again, in a sly voice “Ooh! One down already?

I think you deserve some extra penalties for that, right?” As he spoke, another door slid open, revealing a large hill and a bunch of gear. This time though, there was no

lava, and our team reached for the pickaxes and boots. Certain people didn’t really feel like sharing today, so they started hoarding the stuff. I was lucky enough to receive one of the pickaxes, but the boots were non-existent as I made my climb up the slippery mountain. Halfway up, a huge crack teared through the mountain, and the two parts were separated. The climb was getting more and more intense, and the top of the cliff looked a mile away. Ice came hurling down at us , and Annie barely managed to dodge one of the spikes, which left her dangling with one arm.

Through the microphone, Mr. Badfriend bellowed eagerly, “ I have a lovely surprise for you! What could be better than… a yeti!” Seriously, a YETI? All of us gazed upward, and sure enough, a large, snow-white yeti was staring straight at us. I started to become more and more tense, and as I moved from rock to rock I could feel my legs shaking. Just a couple more rocks … I really don’t want to die today! As we continued to climb, some of us became desperate and used some pretty wild ideas. One of the professors literally asked the yeti for help. “Hey! Over here!” Burzin yelled. “Care to make new friends?” With a smile, the yeti stalkily walked to the edge of the mountain and extended a hand. “Hmmm?” It said, smiling. Burzin grabbed on, and was thrown over the edge by the creature. So much for new friends, huh? With luck, he barely grabbed one of the rocks and was dangling just like Annie.

From the left, Jayden must have hurled a marker with super strength because it knocked the yeti in the forehead and sent him tumbling down the mountain. Finally!

We all made our way up the hill until we were settled on the platform. Now that we cleared this obstacle, Art re-appeared and talked through the speaker, “ Ah, good.

Good. Let’s see, I’ll make that six. Six team penalties,” he said, satisfied with his choice. “ Are you ready for some trust falls? Just like we practiced…” Art finished, and we looked over the cliff to see a stone floor. A rope hung from the ceiling, which acted as a fireman’s pole so we could get down.

We started our descent, slowly but steadily. Jayden went first, and caught the rest of us as we jumped down. From the darkness, a mellow chattering sound seemed to get closer and closer. It was like someone was following us, and we immediately raced across the bridge. Once we got across, we were met by the shadowy figure of Art Goodfriend.

“Congratulations! How do you feel? Do you feel good about yourself? Are you closer to one another? Would you die for eachother? Let me tell you a story. I’m sure you all know the story of heaven and hell, and how the world was created. You see, my family has guarded this secret for centuries. There is no heaven, there is only hell.

There is one god, not two. People in the past have worshipped gods, but never knew there was only one. Ancient Mayans, and other civilisations have all made sacrifices and strange rituals to support these deities. And before I tell you the objective of our mission, I need you to know you chose this fate. You, not me. Since the moment we arrived at ‘Camp Wannagohome’, you did everything in your power to be where you are now. You chose to go into the basement, which you were never supposed to find.

You chose to use my ancestors possessions, and didn’t even return them. You chose to cause mayhem, and chose to go after one of the specimens. You chose to go into the glass elevators, and you chose to find this room. So this is not my fault. You caused this, and I hope you have fun performing my next little ritual.”

Slowly, we began to realize what his next plan was. In front of us was a pit. A pit full of lava. And, I suppose, our job was to sacrifice each other for this elder god.

Previously, Flora sacrificed herself, and the first of four carvings filled in. I guess we need to fill them all in to satisfy the god, which was inside the giant hole. As I looked around, several of us seemed to be in combat stances, with sports rackets and sharp pencils ready to go. Seeing what was happening, Art warned, “Wait, wait! You don’t

understand. You have to do th-” People lunged at art, fighting with limbs, backpacks, and fists. He began to wobble backwards, but easily deflected our attacks. Oddly, Irene asked to join his side, and Art agreed. Scanning the room, she chose to kill Gavin, but as she reached for his arm, he kicked her knees and sent her flying into the lava below. “Oh! Well that worked too, I guess.” Art said, not affected at all. From behind, another jar cracked open and filled the carving of the second woman. This time, though, we could see the faint figures of Irene and Flora, as if they were trapped in the jars. Sure enough, their souls were inside, and we really needed to get them out. After some shoving and David’s sacrifice, all four carvings were filled, and Art was part of them. “ Let me out! Please! You don’t understand!” he shouted.

Sure enough, Brianna kicked the jar open and art frantically tried to get out.

Just before he escaped, an arm reached out from the bottom of the pit and stole the jar. With a splash, art remained trapped and landed in the lava. Suddenly, the words “ Code failed, release enabled” appeared on the notepad and slowly disintegrated.

Meanwhile, Flora managed to escape and was helping Irene out of the jar. Once they got out, they both began to float, and drifted off into the distance as spirits. Sweet dreams to you, I guess. I tried to figure out what the words meant, While Irene Z asked how to release the god. It said “Wait till the ceremony is complete,” and we had no choice but to sit tight. As if anything could get worse, piercing screams began echoing across the room. The Buildings were shaking, and a large hand grasped the top of the mountain. A small piece of stone burst into pieces, and the rumbling began getting more and more intense.

Somebody pointed, “Look, an exit!” and we all started dashing towards the red sign. As we carefully headed toward the door, our notepads beeped “ CRITICAL FAILURE. CRITICAL FAILURE.” over and over again, and burned in our hands. What’s happening? The door busted open, and we entered to see a room full of different

computers. The rumbling had stopped, and we got to see everything that was happening. On the first monitor, we saw the elevator room, where all the specimens were fighting to gain control. Thank goodness we got out of there. On the second monitor, it was monitoring the exits and the giant lava pit, where the rumbling was still happening. Lastly, the third one showed an exterior view of the cabin. Blue sparks and purple lightning roared and blasted inside the dome, until finally it could take no more and the power fried, and the dome was now gone. It looked like a disaster. The cabin was in ruins, and the whole hilltop collapsed in the center. Just as I thought it was over, I heard stomping. It charged passed the dome into the wild, getting further and further away from sight.

The god is gone.

The end…

We all went through a door, you weren’t able to see inside the room, the air was opaque (how?!) yet transparent. As we passed through the door I’m able to see everything, the room was the size of the floor in my house. We were all on a cliff, on the other side was another ledge we probably should go onto. In between was like a zipline course, except there wasn’t a zipline. There were boards, ropes, wobbly spheres made out of wood-and a giant gap that you (probably) have to jump to a net hanging half a meter away. As if there was no other choice, Flora jumps from the cliff straight into the lava underneath the course. There’s a surprisingly loud sizzle. After we recover from that, a loud rumbling sound starts, a shelf thing appears, it has four jars accompanied with stone statues holding a jar each . I look back to the door hoping we’ll escape from this hell but the door, or floating rectangle of white light that was high up near the ceiling.

“Well that was a start! One sacrifice ​already!​ Three more to go than. Well either way, WELCOME TO THE TEAMWORK IMPROVEMENT CAMP! Oh and you ​don’t ​want a teamwork penalty!” Art yells from somewhere through a speaker.

He sounded unusually happy now. I silently held a funeral for Flora, she fell into lava, no way she’s coming back up alive. We wobble around suspended around 5 meters away from the lava, we all finally manage to make it. As soon as the last person’s toe touched the ground a light appeared in the wall, it gradually became bigger and formed a door shape. Everyone silently stares at it.

Art impatiently says, “Well go on. It’s just a door and LED lights on the doorframe.”

It sounded like he was trying to encourage us through the door but it wasn’t working, we all stepped through though.

The next room was freezing cold, yet there was still lava five meters under our feet. There was an ice pathway that led to a slightly tilted very steep ​ice wall. ​At the foot of the wall was a messy clutter of tractions, without question we knew we had to climb the wall, so we walked over and started putting them onto the soles of our shoes.

We all almost expertly climb the wall and we’re halfway up when the ice wall splits in two. It literally splits. As if we didn’t have enough disasters, giant blocks of ice start to fall from somewhere on the wall. Someone fell and is dangling by the tips of their fingers.

“Uh oh,” Art says in a mocking tone, “If you fail to save them then that’ll be a teamwork penalty!”

All of us were still climbing, except those who are dangling, as we got nearer to the top the person who fell got up, we also saw the source of ice. A yeti stands at the top of the wall throwing great big ice chunks down the wall. As we get nearer to the top , the Yeti suddenly becomes protective of the top of the wall.

Professor Burzin looks at the Yeti somehow sympathetically and asks, “Hey there, mind if you only let me pass?”

In response the Yeti holds out his hand, Professor Burzin takes it without wasting a second, but regrets it when the Yeti holds him over the bubbling lava. In one swift motion the Yeti let go of Professor Burzin, and the Professor was never to be seen again (or so we thought). Jayden who was busy rummaging around in his backpack while dangerously balancing on a tiny dent in the ice wall didn’t notice anything.

“Aha!” He says to himself as he pulls out a green sharpie.

Suddenly Jayden lunges himself onto the top of the wall and stuffs the foul smelling sharpie up the Yeti’s nose, the Yeti lies there twitching. Just as Jayden defeats the Yeti Professor Bruzin also pulls himself up, he stands up whilst teetering a little and brushes himself. Quickly Jayden throws himself at Professor Burzin, Professor Burzin sidestepps him, now Jayden was the one plunging to his death. And like there was some sort of spirit preventing people from falling into the lava (except Flora) Jayden suddenly pulls himself up too.

“Um I don’t need to tell you guys but you people must've gotten a world record of teamwork penalties in one minute. You got like, six penalties.” Art says bewildered.

We all made it up onto the top of the wall, there was another door, without a moment’s hesitation we walked into the next room, I was last.

This room was a little smaller, there was no lava, no Yeti, except there were thousands upon thousands of shards poking out from every direction. I was standing on a ledge, I nervously peered over the ledge and saw down there was an area ​without​ any shards of whatever it was. The boy who stuffed the green sharpie up the Yeti’s nose was standing down on that safe spot. This person named Gavin (we still had name tags on) turns around back facing Jayden in a T pose and jumps down.

Jayden catches him, next goes Irene, who looked uncertain but then shrugged it off. Everyone got down except Professor Angela and Professor Burzin.

Next went Professor Burzin, “Here I goooooooo-” He says as he jumps down.

Jayden ignores Professor Burzin and Professor Burzin says, “Goooo-ooooohhhh noooooo” Professor Burzin unfortunately (unfortunately for us) landed on his feet unharmed.

“Teamwork Penalty!” Art yells, reminding me that we were doing death courses that ​he created. Professor Angela was holding onto the bottom of the ledge for dear life. She was apparently trying to climb down herself, just as she prepared to jump down from there a bridge suddenly appeared. It was connected to where we started from and to the un-sharded platform we were on and at last connected to an unnoticed circular disk across of the starting ledge. Professor Angela pulls herself up from the bottom of the ledge and struts onto the bridge which led downwards to the stunned students below. We all one by one walked onto the bridge and walked onto the disk. There was no door. I look around, there is some sort of mist at the bottom, I shiver as I wonder if there are still pointy shards down there. I look up and notice the stone statues of people holding jars. One of the four statues looks like it was splattered with blood. From the furthest side of the disk I see a figure, as it gets closer I see it’s Art. The word traitor enters my mind.

“Congratulations!” Art says to us happily as he claps his hands slowly for more dramatic results.

In a second Art is giving us a well rehearsed speech.

“My family has had an ancient secret,this is the secret, you are standing in it. This is a true story my family tells. Ahem, ‘In this world there is only something called Hell. Created by an angry and foul creature, everyone who lived on earth knew about it, and they feared it. The creature would rain disasters after disaster on all four corners of earth (I know it’s round ok?). The creature became a monster, it didn’t want ​love​ or ​sympathy​, ​kindness o ​ r ​friends​, it wanted to be ​feared​’.” Art paused and looked at us to see if we were on the same page as him. “‘To make sure we feared him he made us sacrifice our relatives, friends and family to himself. But decades later people slowly forgot the monster. The monster thought to himself ‘If people have forgotten me then maybe I’m still not ​frightening enough​. So that day he picked one unfortunate person who would fear him the most and killed every single person. He had chosen my

great great grandmother August. She was the happiest person alive until the monster struck. All her relatives started to die off until she was left. He then created other terrifying monsters that would be released into the dying world so they could hunt August down. But he never knew that August had survived with the greatest weapon.’ But of course “the weapon” isn’t with my family anymore. August had died, but she made a contract with the monsters, she would sacrifice four people to Tusky, the leader of the monsters and the Hell monster’s most prized creation. Every Century we will sacrifice these people in this exact room. The last ritual was in 1920, the year was quite close to the start of the Great Depression. ” Art finishes.

The words start to get to us, every decade a ritual? It’s 2020! The last one was in the 1920’s plus 100 would be 2020! Suddenly so many things happened at once, someone pushed Irene to the bottom of the pit, but apparently Irene had betrayed us.

Suddenly a shatter interrupts us, we all look at the statue, one of the jar had blood pouring out of its mouth, the blood was going into the jar, in the jar was a ghostly figure of Flora. The blood had reached up to Flora’s knees. Suddenly we see the semi transparent form of professor Irene in the second jar with blood pouring into the jar.

“Wow! Just two more sacrifices!.” Art says sounding excited.

In response Jayden and Gavin push Art down into the mist.

Art’s ghostly form appears in the third, “Woah woah woah, crack my jar! It’ll release me! If Tusky gets to taste ​one ​spirit he’ll come up and go crazy! And I’m the only one who can control him!”

Art exclaims.

At that it concerns us for a moment, until David walks off the disk and plummets to the mist.

Now all four jars have been taken up.

“Ohh noooo- The ritual is complete! Tusky is gonna come out now…” Art groans.

The fog has reached the disk now, something unidentified is now coming out of the mist from both sides, they look like buildings, wait no they’re curvy. But then it hits me, it’s ​Tusks​ that’re coming out of the mist, now I’m just assuming that’s Tusky.

Art continues to plead, “NO he’s gonna devour our souls!” Art yells. “Please release me!”

Not wanting to deal with souk eating tusk things I pull out my useless and not-mom-approved phone, I throw with all my might at Art’s jar. It cracks, but not enough, the tuskes have moved over to Art. They started to pick Art up slowly, and Art glided in smoothly against his wills, his screams were covered by the tusks loud noises. As if the (second) death of Art had awoken her, Flora started ramming the jar, she looked at the jar frustrated.

“Just pretend it’s Art!” Someone yells!

With a lot of determination she cracked open the jar, Professor Irene just stared and waved at us. Flora walked over to Professor Irene’s jar and broke her free too, their bodies have become normal again. We hear thundering footsteps from somewhere below, it sounds as if something gigantic was searching for something, a giant tusk suddenly lurches at us. And we took off running to a door that was kind of blocked by the tusk, we darted around it and found ourselves in a monitor room that had a microphone. It must’ve been where Art was watching us, there was also a button called death ray. Glad we didn’t have to experience it.

There are so many screens showing so many places it was confusing, but we recognized one, it was our cabin. The crystal dome was just visible, and as if we were meant to see it, a giant animal that looked like the cousin of Godzilla came bursting out of the dome. I look around, there’s another

familiar place, the elevator place. Monsters are pouring out of there, and I’m pretty sure I saw Spikey and Pokey in there too.

Angie’s 400 word(precisely) thing about what happened this session At the beginning, we’re standing there and all the elevator doors open. A bunch of weird animal-ish things start charging out and fighting each other.

We decide to be smart and make a run for it. Jayden leads us to the lava room, where art is like, “Get ready for some fun trust exercises!!!”. Flora be like, “Hell naw.”, and she jumps into the lava, where she DIES. Art thinks it’s fine, and then a huge wall thing appears. There’s a bit of equipment, which Irene grabs. We start fighting over it. I forgot who got to the top, but we all see this crazy Yeti-ish thing standing at the top. I feel like Burzin was pretty desperate to get up there, so as he was climbing, he told the Yeti about how they could make a deal or something. The Yeti reaches its hand out, Burzin grabs it, and the Yeti YEETS Burzin off the wall. Burzin luckily lands but doesn’t die. There’s a fight at the top, but I don’t really remember it. Art then says that we’re going to start doing Trust Falls. I’m pretty sure that when we first got here, we FAILED them- a few people don’t hesitate and they just jump off, and they’re caught by their classmates. Some people don’t wanna jump, and ants start coming out on the top of the wall, so my character was forced to jump. I landed safely. I don’t know what so.

Many. teamwork penalties. Means, but i’ll just move on. Art starts explaining why this all happened, saying that “we went places we shouldn’t have went”, and pretty much that we were nosy. At one point, I'm pretty sure Jayden has had enough of Art’s “explaining” and just attacks him.

Irene tells Art that she will help him kill us all, and Gavin immediately pushes her off the wall, which she does not survive. I’m pretty sure the jars are leaking some red stuff, and Irene joins Flora in her jar. I DON’T REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENS NEXT. At one point, I swear there’s this huge tusky animal thing that breaks through the barrier thing? We also sacrificed Art, i’m pretty sure. I’m so confused, I literally don’t even know if my character is alive. I’ll need some help understanding the end later. I think it’s over.

...We see that all the elevators arrived at the same time and there were many monsters attacking each other in the elevator. All of us thought we were going to be dead until Jayden yells from a room we never noticed, “Come to the lava room!”. All of us rapidly darted towards the lava room and as we quickly opened the door, we heard chaotic and clangorous noises. As we got in, there was this opaque room. We carefully searched around the darkness until we arrived at a floor made out of rocks. We felt some heat coming from in front of us and as we looked up, we saw a giant pool of lava, sparkling blasts of fire up.

Floating on top of the lava were many wood planks. While we were wondering about this obstacle, Art Goodfriend’s voice was heard. We cautiously looked around and saw a speaker. His voice was coming from the speaker. All of us leaned close to the speaker and listened. “Welcome back to team building exercises!” Art’s wicked voice spoke through the speaker, “Get to know your friends better than you know yourself! But be careful, you don’t want to receive any teamwork penalties now, do you…?” The speaker stopped playing Art’s voice and we started to take actions. First, the gym students who are the strongest among us held the wood planks still while they gestured to the rest of the people to slowly walk across the wood planks. This idea seemed to work as people were walking slowly and steadily across the lava. However, just when everyone was going to successfully get across the lava, Flora suddenly ran towards the edge of the lava and jumped in!!! Gavin ran towards the lava, and was going to grab Flora by the arm, but unfortunately misses. The rest of us stood frozen and stared towards Flora as she hit the surface of the lava and made a gigantic splash. When the waves were gone, we saw Flora slowly sinking below the surface. As Flora sinked into the lava, the ground seemed to shake. Then, a panel moved aside at the back of the room and on the wall under the panel, there were four stone carvings. We saw that in the stone carvings, there were two men and womens. Above each of them stood a massive glass jar. On the very right, there was a glass jar above a woman and it cracked as it started to suck in the lines of the carving and dripped out of sight. However, the liquid that was dripping out of the sight looked queerly a lot like blood. Suddenly, Art’s voice came out of the speaker again and said: “Woah! That was kind of narely! But yeah that’s sort of the idea, that’s what we’re here for! Good job! Keep up everybody! No team penalty, one sacrifice in the bank already, this could be a very productive exercise!” as his clapping sounds came out of the speaker as well and clicked up the speaker. The rest of us, startled by the news, finally made our way across the lava. Without seeing Flora anywhere, we got past a mysterious door that led us to the next room. As we entered the next room, we saw in front of us a steep, vertical wall. What also seemed to bother us was the cold temperature compared to the last room, with the vertical wall made up of ice. At the base of the wall there were a couple pickaxes, some ropes, and crampons. Art’s voice appeared again and said: “Meet you at the top!”. Irene W quickly grabbed all of the gears while the rest of us stared strangely at her. Burzin, who looked frustrated, wanted to steal some gears from Irene. But unfortunately, he failed. Irene saw that Burzin was trying to steal her gears, tackled Burzin while her gears flew everywhere. The rest of us, seeing that the gears were no longer occupied, started fighting for them as fast as possible. When we climbed halfway through the cliff, we felt a large crack in the center of the cliff! This pulled some of us apart from each other from the two sides of the cliff while we were losing our grip. What made it worse was chunks of snow falling from the top of the cliff. Art’s voice was heard again: “Oh this isn’t going so well, but just to note that there are many monsters wandering around here - Oh look! There’s a yeti up there throwing snow chunks!”. Jayden, seeing that people’s lives are

at stake due to the yeti, pulled out a baseball from his backpack and tossed it towards the yeti. The baseball lightly bounced and fell back down. The yeti noticed Jayden’s move and threw a snow chunk directly towards Jayden. Jayden was dangling by one arm now. When everything seemed desperate, we started to get out our energy, held our grip again, and climbed up the mountain as fast as possible. When we were about to hit the top of the cliff, the yeti seemed to have guarded the wall. Burzin, seeing that this is going nowhere, suddenly started to convince the yeti to let him up. “Hey! Yeti! Let me up! Let’s be buddies!”

Yeti, feeling interested, held out his hand towards Burzin to let him up. Burzin, feeling relieved, took his hands without hesitation. However, the Yeti did nothing but pick Burzin up towards the edge of the cliff, and let go. Burzin, who fell about halfway down the cliff, grabbed onto the crack, and started to climb with his own hands. As Yeti leaned on the edge to watch Burzin fall, Jayden creeped behind it with a marker in his hand and jammed it up its nose. Jayden pulled the Yeti on the ground and it fell down the cliff past Burzin. Burzin, at the side, surprisingly pulled himself up and started climbing up the cliff while Jayden tried to push him off the cliff. Burzin successfully got up and pushed Jayden, but at the end, they all got up. Art’s voice came again; “...Um, I don’t need to tell you guys that you got a bunch of teamwork penalties right? Like, you tried to join the yeti and you tried to throw your teammates down the cliff… so, yeah. I’m counting like six. Anyways, it’s trust fall time!”. As the door behind us opened we walked into the next room. On the other side of the wall, there were many sharp stones sticking up from the ground, with one clear area at the bottom.

There was a rope dangling from the side. Jayden first went down the rope, and yelled to the others: “Jump down, and I’ll catch you!”. Gavin seemed to have believed in Jayden, so he jumped down towards Jayden. He successfully catched him. Irene W then slides down into the area and falls down. She was also down successfully. While the rest of us were at the top, we could hear this clicking sound. ​Cling-cling-cling ​- As we looked around us, we saw many red eyes coming from. As Lucas, Burzin, Briana, all got down, the rest of us was at the top, looking at those eyes moving faster and faster towards us. At last, we all went down.

When we arrived at the ground, we saw this bridge. As we slowly walked towards the other side of the bridge, the bridge crumbled to dust behind us. As we walked around the room, we saw the same stone carvings we’ve seen before. From the utter darkness, we also saw a figure walking towards us. As it came closer and closer to us, we recognized that it was Art Goodfriend! ​Clap-clap-clap ​“Congratulations!” He said, “Do we feel closer together? Do we feel like we would...die for one another?”. We all looked at him as he showed a wicked smile.

He continued, “My family has held an ancient secret for generations and generations. This planet was created a long time ago but never by kind and immortal gods with shiny wings and angels. Not like where you’ve heard about having heaven and hell. Unfortunately on this planet, there’s only hell. This planet was created by a cruel, angry, above all else, hungry god. In the dark times, he would make disasters after disasters. All he really wanted was to be loved. We pitiful creatures weren’t capable of loving someone. So instead, it wanted to be feared. In honour of this creature, we sacrificed to it. Many have done this throughout the centuries.” He paused. “I’m sure you’ve seen the painting of my grandfather.” Jayden asked with a rather happy expression, “Are we getting sacrificed?”. “Yes, some of you.” Art replied.

“But I cannot just take some teenagers out into the woods and kill them, that would be barbaric. Instead, you guys have to choose. Choose your fate. You chose to not listen to the old man out there who warned you guys.” As he said so, we all remembered that old man who told us to go back but we did not listen. “You chose to go where you were not invited,

you chose to play where you do not belong, you chose to take what was not yours. You could’ve had a lovely camp and do team building exercises and no matter how scary I make it look, it would’ve been safe. But you stole people’s possessions, you translated and read people’s diaries, smashing their sacred horns. You chose the nature of your fates, and you will also have to choose which of you will pay the bill to keep the rest alive.” The rest of us looked at eachother, while Lucas charged towards the platform and attempted to push Art off. However, Art punched him in the face and landed face flat on the ground. “Whoah whoah whoah wait!” Jayden then threw his backpack at him and Art catched it, but stumbled back. “Whoah Whoah! You don’t understand!” Lucas then stood up and shoved him towards the edge. Art started to fall backwards until he was standing at the edge of the cliff. “Wait wait wait! If you don’t sacrifice it’s gonna come up! It’s going to eat everybody!”. Jayden said angrily, “Then sacrifice yourself!”. Art replied: “No no no, if you sacrifice me, who will do the sacrifice action?”. Burzin then said, “Then sacrifice on the monsters!”. Art started to lose his patience and yelled, “No! Go on and jump in the sacrifice pit for humanity!” Irene, seeing that she wouldn’t want to die, said that in exchange of her being alive, she could help Art kill people! “Yeah! Go ahead! Throw people into the pit!” Irene went on and tried to push Gavin off with all her might, but Gavin instead, threw her off into the pit! As Irene fell into the pit, she yelled, “HIIIII!”. Art stared at Irene with confusion and said, “Well, that works too I guess.” Then, we heard a cracking sound behind Art. We looked back, and saw that another glass jar cracked and another carving of the woman was covered with what seemed like blood. As we looked at something else, we saw something that it was pouring into. And it was a second jar. In it, we saw that it was a ghost-like, transparent version of Flora. As well as Irene in the other jar. In Flora’s jar, the liquid was past her knees while Irene’s jar just had a little bit of it. On the other side, Art kept on convincing Gavin to sacrifice more of our teammates. However, Jayden came ahead with Gavin and at the same time, shoves Art down the pit as well. “WAAAAIT!” he yelled as he fell down into the darkness. Then, we heard another sound of shattering and that red liquid began to fill the jar of the carvings of one of the two men. Jayden then attempts to throw his backpack towards Flora’s jar and misses. Then, Lucas threw his calculator towards Flora’s jar and it slowly began to crack. Art in the other jar, witnessing all this said, “Oh no. No! He wants to eat the souls. Break my jar!

Definitely break my jar!” David, on the other hand, declares that he had enough of these stresses and began walking towards the edge. Finally, he leaped off and fell into the darkness. The same thing happened with the fourth carving. Flora started to attempt to find her way out of the jar while the rest of us were trying to figure out a way out of the room. We didn’t see any doors but Art definitely got here in some way. It was just that we didn’t know…

Until we heard a loud roar that shuddered the entire room and dark smokes began to rise up from the sides of the platform. We all looked at the sides of the platform and we can see that peaks of buildings began to rise up from our left and right. The peak of these buildings were sharp and there were golden rings at the top. However, as it rose higher and higher, it started to curve which made us think that they were tusks. We can hear Art’s intense voice saying, “Break the jar! There’s no time now! Just break the jar!” Briana walked up and reached for her cellphone that had run out of batteries a long time ago. She smashed it towards Art’s jar and it began to crack like Flora’s. “Yes yes yes!” Art said as he also tried to split up the jar. Just when it happened, a large hand grabbed onto Art’s jar and tilted it upside down. Art started struggling to get up the jar, “No no no no no please noooooooo!” as he was down into the darkness. Flora finally broke the jar and started to walk in front of it.

Irene, seeing that Flora already escaped, started to punch from the inside of the jar and it began to crack and shatter. But when Irene was almost out of the jar, the hand came in again and grabbed David’s jar down into the darkness. Irene is almost out of the jar, while Flora decided to smash Irene’s jar and both were out. This time, two hands came from below and they floated away from it. As they floated up towards the roof of the room, they seemed to have seen a spec of light. They slid up towards the light, looking relieved. Meanwhile, we see that a massive body of a massive creature started to climb up the wall after the fleeing form of Irene and Flora and it screamed in anger. It then started shooting rain of rocks down at us. Part of the platform was blasted off by one of the rocks. While we waited for a few moments, we heard some thundering footsteps. While this happened, a metal staircase rose up from the darkness and we saw a little red exit sign above it. We darted up the staircase and rushed into a room filled with computers. It was also white like the lobby and we could see the different monitors. In the first monitor, it showed the lobby and different monsters fighting each other. In the second monitor, we saw that it was monitoring an emergency exit to our left. Then the third monitor showed an exterior view caught by a low flying drone. As we looked at the monitors, we saw these blue lightnings on the roof of the house. We could see our cabin, the mountains that we drove through, our bus… Finally, we saw this electronic blue net flashing and stretching until it broke and shattered. Below, we can see the creature with the tusks stumbling further and further away from where it had been trapped for hundreds and thousands of years through the monitors. We were happy that we could get out, but we weren’t sure where to go after seeing this creature escaping along with us...
