** A STRANGE DAY IN JULY ** ** He threw with all his might, but the third stone came skipping back. ** When the stone came back Christopher just watched the stone. Then the stone shook. Madeline and Christopher both wiped their eyes and looked at it again. It was still shaking, then this smaller rock just appeared on the stone. Then a hologram came up. Christopher had only seen holograms on his comic books. On the hologram was there father who had gone on a long journey somewhere for a job. The hologram said for them to come with him to space and bring mom. The rock will take them. So they did and loved forever in space. (Written by Karl W.)

There was once a kid named James. He had a best friend named Amy. James had a creek with lots of rocks on the bank by his house. ONe day Amy came over to his house and asked, "Do you want to come to my house, James?" James said, "I'm not allowed to go out of our yard, unless I'm going to school." "Oh," said Amy. "Well then, do you want to go to the creek beside your house?" "Sure," said James. So they went to the creek beside James' house. "So, what do you want to do," asked James. "Skip rocks I guess," said Amy.

So James picked up a flat rock and chucked it as far as he could. It skipped once... twice... three times... and then it sunk. James picked up a second, flat rock and chucked it. This one skipped one time... two times... three times... four times... and then it sunk. James picked up a third rock and chucked it. This one skipped once and then skipped back into his hand. "What in the world," asked James curiously. Amy ducked behind James. Then a fish shot out of where the stone has hit the water. Then an angry serpent came up out of the water and ate James and Amy and they were gone forever. (Written by Dalton S.)
