The Sciplor by Kimora Negron
Darkness Gives . . . Sciplor Takes. Into the unknown, darkness swallows and this is where the Sciplor makes its home. In water and on land there are two kinds. On land it seeks its home, but in water it feeds on anything that tries to come on land or its territory. Human or animal it will feed on you until you’re no longer to be seen. But all will be seen is ash, darkness. Nothing but air. You will be banished into nothing but darkness where no one can find or see you. There is nowhere to run or hide, just stay away from its territory, come nowhere near not even five feet. If one senses that you are near it will demolish you from inside out and you will be nothing but ash. It will mainly feed on your fears. No matter what, do not show any sense of fear or your death.

Amelia couldn’t wait to get home. She had such great news to tell her family. “Mom! Dad!” Amelia screamed as she walked through the door. “I DID I DID IT I REALLY DID IT!” “Did what dear?” her mom confusingly asked. “I won the science fair finally, all these years and I finally did it!” Amelia exclaimed. “Congratulations,” her dad responded. Amelia Baxter was known for the most outstanding kid in her science class. Amelia loved science. It was her favorite thing and one of her best hobbies that she was good at. Until one day, Amelia and her friend Malarie went camping. They wanted to go camping to explore the wonderful habitat of nature. Malarie wasn’t really into science like Amelia was. Malarie loved art. It was her passion. But she didn’t want to let her friend down. She knew how much Amelia was into science and always wanted to be there for her until the day she succeeds. “We should set up our tents here,” Amelia exclaimed. 139
