Disappearance & Mystery

       HOWDY everyone!! I'm sorry I went M.I.A. for a while there, but life has been so crazy lately. Here's an update in case you were wondering: I finished up July by going to the beach with my cousin, which was super fun! My beloved sunglasses were lost in the ocean, though... bummer. Then, the beginning of August marked the beginning of band camp. Band camp can be summed up in just two words: HOT and TEDIOUS. After band camp, I went straight into school. It is weird to be an upperclassman now, but so far junior year is treating me well.

       As an elective, I am taking Creative Writing with my favorite teacher from last year. It is super fun, and I can already feel myself being challenged and improving in my writing. Last week we worked on a one-hundred word story, which was a challenge, but I kinda like the way mine turned out. It is titled "The Lonesome Scooter, " and I'm gonna share it with you below :-).


Sally’s floral sundress ripped and her pink bow tumbled to the ground as they grabbed her violently and forced her inside, leaving her brand new scooter alone outside. How did I get here? She thought to herself. I was only being friendly. All she did was wave to the new neighbors, a young foreign couple with a baby, when they snatched her up. Her mind was racing, but then she had a burst of adrenaline and punched the man with all her might, throwing him off guard. She scrambled toward the door… toward freedom, when suddenly-- BAM! Everything went black.
