I AM A HUMAN BEING
By Noelle C

I am a human being...
                     I am not a possession
I am a human being...
                     I am not a prisoner
I am a human being...
                     I have a right to have friends
I am a human being...
                     I have a right to be HAPPY
I am a human being...
                     I have a right to say NO to abuse
I am a human being...
                     I don't want to live with fear and threats
I am a human being...
                     I don't want to hide to be safe
I am a human being...
                     I have a right to have my feelings heard
I am a human being...
                     I don't want to have my dreams crushed
I am a human being...
                     I have a right for my parakeets to be respected
I am a human being....
                     I don't want to be mistreated when I have done nothing wrong
I am a human being...
                     I don't want to be neglected
I am a human being...
                     I WILL FOLLOW MY DREAMS!!!!!!
I am a human being...
                     I will help and respect others
I am a human being...
                     I will be FREE
I AM HUMAN BEING

The Perfect Shot
By Madison V.
Town Square
     “Hey Marcee! Can I help ya? Please?” my little sister jumped up and down, tugging my elbow.
     “No Michaela, this is big girl stuff.” I sighed, gently pushing her away. Her round eyes continued to gaze at me pleadingly, but she backed off.
     “Can I watch?” Michaela asked sweetly.
     “Fine, but only if you stay out of my way.” I grumbled. I grabbed my camera and went outside, Michaela at my heels.
     My first photo op landed right in front of me, pecking at some crumbs. I held the cameras up, and positioned it just right. My finger reached for the ‘capture’ button…..

The Black Rubber Boots Murder
By: Breanne P
Rio Vista
Chapter 1: The Murderer 

I run into my room and sneak into my closet behind clothes in the darkness. I hear him walk into my room. He killed my parents and now he is after me. He looks under my bed, then glances at the closet. I see his black rubber boots standing in the doorway of my closet. I feel like I am going to scream so I put my hands over my mouth. Tears are gushing out of my eyes.
