The ones who accompanied me to the sea were my mother and sister. They went with me to Whale Park to play there. We could eat hotpot and crab and fish. After eating, me and my mom and my sister went to the guests’ hotel to rest. Tomorrow we will go back. By evening, everyone is going to sleep. In the sea you will be able to hear the sound of the water rushing to the shore and in the morning there will be fewer fish going out to the sea. The sky is very clear and beautiful.

A Weird Presence Once upon a time I was in my bedroom eating cereal. Then felt a weird presence, so I went to check it out. I was in the middle of the woods, but it was only me and my bedroom, because the other half of the house was gone (except my bedroom). It had disappeared out of thin air. I didn’t know it just had, and I needed to figure it out, but first figure out where I was. I looked around for a bit and almost got lost but remembered that I didn’t get lost then started to hear strange noises. It was something like “Mis niños, mis niños,” and I got so scared that I ran back to my bedroom. Then I started hearing noises in my closet, and then I just hid under my bed until I stopped hearing the noises. I got out. Then El Cucuy and La Llorona were there!

The Necklace Chapter 1 (The Beginning) It all started when I was 10 years old. I was always alone and sad. I went to school one day, and it was pretty normal, but then Gerold was bullying me again. But I got used to it by now. He shoved me into a wall and dropped me and a necklace just fell. I don’t know whose it was, but I just took it. Chapter 2 (The Portal) It looked very shiny and it looked like a crystal. It was multicolored. I didn’t really think much of it, but if I knew what it was, I would’ve never taken it. I put it in my backpack and went home. I put it in, and everything started glowing. I saw a big circle in front of me. It had a lot of colors. I didn’t have anything to lose, so I went in. Chapter 3 (A New World)
51
After I went in some portal, I was in a forest. I saw a “fairy,” and it said it was kind and wanted no harm.

Left Behind I’d never ever felt this way until you had to say goodbye. A feeling of loss so intense it’s like I actually might die I can’t eat I can’t sleep your face is all that I see my chest feels so tight sometimes I can’t even Breathe.
