Favourite Animal: Squids (obvious by my profile picture xD)
Least Favourite: Toads

The new animal's name is Bufobrach, a combination of Decabrachia and Bufonidae, the scientific names of squids and toads. The Bufobrach is an amphibian with a large, toady body covered in slime and a single eye right at the front of its head. It has four short, smooth legs with suckers on the palms and two slimy tails resembling a squid's two front tentacles. The tails are used to grip and catch hold of prey (mainly large insects and crustaceans) and drag them towards the Bufobrach's mouth, as they are long enough to do so.

The Bufobrach is somewhat passive, not harming anything unless you disturb it first or unless it is looking for food (which are never humans). However, if you manage to interrupt their activities, their tails will latch onto you with surprising speed, dragging itself towards you until it is close enough for its legs to latch onto you too as it climbs swiftly up your body and squirts a particularly smelly slimy chemical out of its mouth into your eyes. This chemical is sticky and thick, forcing your eyes closed as it pushes itself off of you harshly to hide and camouflage.

Usually, they reside in bogs and the shores of lakes and swamps. Some Bufobranches have adapted to live on the floor of deep lakes, where their bodies have become slightly more streamlined to handle the water pressure. Others have migrated to the deep ocean, where they have evolved to be partially bioluminescent, and emit toxic chemicals from spores on their tails. They are mostly found in tropical countries.

Some species of Bufobranch have a toxic variant of its signature spit, which could cause you to go blind and may even damage the other parts of your body connected to your eyes, like your organs (the brain specifically).

Scientists have been studying this animal for decades, but have yet to uncover its origins and some of its secrets. The Bufobranch has even been turned into the subjects folktales in some cases where there is not much knowledge about them. The most popular is the legend of the cryptid Bufobranchius Horror, a very large Bufobranch using its tails as extra legs, and the legs themselves being swollen, round, and “deep as the void”, a mouth wider than its body with human-like gums and an eye that would cause you seizures with a single glance.

This rumour has yet to be proven real.

Laxy's head pounded as they huddled in the farthest corner of their tent, their home. Chief Luna's words rang in their head, and they took a gulp from their flask to calm themself. Working together with the other divisions… they frowned, hands squeezing bunches of their clothes uncertainly. They waggled their toes.

Would it work? they had to ask themself. Working together and trying to unite hadn't worked out for the first Chiefs and Commander, all those years ago before they were even born. Things just got worse. And the three factions had been separated for so long… would anyone even know how to function together?

They took another gulp from their flask.

What if something went wrong? What if they failed and things got violent?

Laxy looked at the slow dawn outside their dimly lit tent. It was hard, not to worry, especially when the things they grew up hearing as kids at the Campsite about the Warriors and Protectors weren't the most flattering. They groaned, flopping over and burying their face in their mattress.

Maybe it was better to get some sleep first before overthinking again. Chief Luna seemed alright with the new arrangement. So it had to be fine, right?

Daily for the 22nd
The dolphake is a water-dwelling creature, and it's a mix of a non-venomous snake and a dolphin. It's the size of a medium-sized cat, with the shape of a garter snake with a dolphin's snout and fins. They are very fast swimmers and like to pray on small fish. They live near the surface, hiding under rocks and in sand. The dolphake has many predators, such as certain birds, larger fish and sometimes even dolphins, but due to their incredible speed, they are very hard to catch. If they are caught, they will often bite their enemies to scare them away or play dead. Dolphakes lay eggs witch can be found in the sand. They prefer saltwater, but can survive for extended periods of time in freshwater areas. They can live long without food and travel alone or in groups of two to five. When baby dolphakes hatch, they are without their parents from the start, they learn to hunt and survive alone or together with other dolphakelets, as the babies are called. As children, dolphakes have softer, almost clear scales that harden with age. A full-grown dolphake has light blue scales, the colour of a dolphin. Oftentimes, they have zig-zagging patterns along their backs. As mentioned earlier, they are quite hard to catch as adults, which is why most of their predators will go for the dolphakelets, who are still learning and therefore slower and less elusive. Their primary habitats are saltwater lakes and oceans, and they are an endangered species. People are working towards reviving this species, and there is a sanctuary for dolphakes in the Little Manitou Lake in Saskatchewan, Canada. There is much folklore surrounding the dolphake, and they are said to bring bad luck, among other things. Despite their temper they are a beautiful sight to see.

‘Mix you fav and least favorite animal’

My least favorite animal is the vulture, and my favorite is the white tiger. The name of my animal is the Catales, coming from the words “Cattus Ales” is latin, meaning winged cat. The features of this unique animal is a long wing protruding from its back, in similar form to a pegasus. The wings are commonly shades of brown or black, but can sometimes also be seen as white when the recessive gene is passed down. The main part of its body looks much like a tiger's, but with thinner claws and a diet of plants and lighter foods. Also, unlike the tiger, this animal is much lighter, and though its wings are the strongest and biggest in the world, it must be much lighter to be able to fly quickly.

The Catales can be found in the wild, but it is usually found in captivity. It lives in Africa, in places with plentiful water and plants, though having hot temperatures. Its white and black stripes paired with the wings do nothing to help the animal with camouflage, but despite that, they can conquer both the sky and land, and are able to easily survive despite the disadvantage.

The Catales behave quite differently than other creatures. Wild Cataless’ live peacefully with most animals, with the exception of tigers. Tigers seem to rile up the creature, sending it into a fight mode, in an attempt to kill it. Vultures have also been seen being killed by the Catales, but in much more rare scenarios. When these creatures are wild, they will not listen to a human and will choose what they want to do. At ties, the Catales will not harm a human, or it will, depending on its thoughts on it. On the other hand, tame Catales offspring are very calm and will not harm anyone, but will still not be ordered around unless it decides too. They have, in rare instances, allowed them to be rided.

ʚ Squitocanine ɞ

go back to my main post

The squitocanine is a terrible creature. It has what seems like the body of a dog, but twisted horribly. It's back legs look like mosquito legs, but they're made out of bone. They're twice as long as it's front legs. It's fur is a sickly yellow. Its teeth are twice as long as a dog's teeth, with stingers like a mosquito. It has two wings like mosquito wings. Instead of flying at the pace of a mosquito though, one mile per hour, unfortunately for anyone who runs into this disgusting creature, it flies at the speed of a dog running. It's hated throughout the world for twisting man's best friend. It is called by most “Man's best enemy”, though it's scientific name really is the squitocanine. It lives in abandoned buildings, feeding off rats and oil. These usually die in these abandoned buildings they find from starvation, having eaten all the rats and oil, or from eating oil. They love the smell of it for some reason, but that doesn't mean their bodies can digest it. Humans have been trying to find a way to create a detector, or a sort of remote, to be able to tell when they were in abandoned buildings. There was no way to know if it was in a building or not. Forty-one deaths had occurred from humans encountering these sickening creatures in the abandoned buildings of their homes. Only one picture had ever been captured of this gross species, and it was very blurry and unfocused. It was the photographer's last photo. Detectives searched through all the photos of the victims of squitocanines to see if any had taken photos, and then when they found one, they handed it over to scientists. Scientists debated if it was real or not, but they knew something had been taking lives in abandoned buildings so it couldn't be anything else.

Axolotl+Tarantula
the Axolantula

In the soggy marshlands surrounding rainforests, a species known as the Axolantula thrives in the moist climate. It has been the subject of folklore in the surrounding areas, claiming that Axolantulas are the children of an ancient guardian of fertile soil that lead the way to usable farmland. The Axolantulas themselves are clearly unaware of the stories that surround them, they only know that the soft soil is comfortable.

An Axolantula can grow to 30-50 centimetres in size. It's pale pink face with some black splotches has a permanent smiling expression to it, and extending from its head on either side are three fuzzy black antennae ringed with orange stripes. These antennae function as gills, but the Axolantula can also breathe in other ways and the antennae are used to signal their emotions. This creature's body is smooth and pink on the back but gradient to a dark grey near the bottom. The Axolantula is eight-legged, and each leg is covered in a layer of fuzzy fur, black with one to two orange stripes on each leg, forming a shape that is not unlike bell-bottomed pants. Some people find it cute while other find it outright horrifying. The Axolantula also has a finned tail that is mostly pink.

The Axolantulas mostly feed on swamp weeds, so they are often seen as a welcome guest in fields. However, sometimes, more aggressive Axolantulas may have a habit of biting people's ankles while they are working in the field- annoying, but generally harmless as this creature does not have sharp teeth. The proximity of this creature will drive away mosquitoes, but it is not because of the Axolotula's eating habits, but rather because they naturally emit a smell similar to citronella, which is a natural mosquito repellant.

Some people like to keep Axolantulas as pets, but the very sight of this creature can also make some people disgusted. It is but a matter of opinion on whether the creature is seen as cute or disgusting.

ACT ONE


The curtain rises to show a MEMBER OF THE ENSEMBLE in therapy-like conversation with the audience.

MEMBER: Hello! We’re so glad you came out today to see Lisa’s Wacky World-Bending Fourth-Wall Smashing Adventures in Time and Friends: The Musical! We ask of course, that you…

A BARBERSHOP QUARTET shows up at midstage.

QUARTET: TURN OFF YOUR PHONES, AND STOP YOUR CONVERSATIONS!

MEMBER: Yes, thank you Barbershop Quartet. The regular rules for watching a musical apply, but this is in no way a regular musical. Let’s send it out to the folks on stage. Ensemble?

The curtain rises, to reveal scattered members of the ENSEMBLE around the stage.

LEFT PERSON: EVERYTIME YOU OPEN A STORY
AND THEN YOU LOOK INSIDE
WHAT’S THOSE FOUR WORDS ALWAYS THERE?

FULL ENSEMBLE: ONCE UPON A TIME.

RIGHT PERSON: ALL IT TAKES IS TO OPEN A BOOK
A BEGINNING, A NEW START
THE FIRST THING THAT YOUR EYES SET ON IS A

FULL ENSEMBLE: ONCE UPON A TIME.

THERE IS NO STORY WITH NO BACKSTORY
NO CANVAS WITHOUT A MIND’S EYE
THERE’S NEVER BEEN A BETTER WAY TO START A STORY
SO THIS STORY BEGINS WITH A ONCE UPON A TIME.

MEMBER: Alright people! Once upon a time there was a sad little fish. This fish would later become a person by the name of Lisa. This fish was flopping around all day hopelessly waiting for something eventful to happen. Oh…. And that’s exactly what happened next!

ENSEMBLE: THERE IS NO STORY WITH NO BACKSTORY
NO CANVAS WITHOUT A MIND’S EYE
THERE’S NEVER BEEN A BETTER WAY TO START A STORY
SO THIS STORY BEGINS WITH A ONCE UPON A TIME.

MEMBER: ONCE UPON A TIME! (high note)

ENSEMBLE: SCAT-BA-DOO-BOP-BA-DOO-BA-DEE-DOO

ENSEMBLE: AND WHAT DO YOU CALL IT WHEN THERE’S NOTHING BELOW
NO JOURNAL ENTRIES TO PEEK THROUGH THE MOLD

MALE ENSEMBLE: I SAY, MR. TOTH WOULD SAY “NO!”

FEMALE ENSEMBLE: EVEN IF HE IS QUITE OLD


ENSEMBLE: HE STILL KNOWS HIS FRANKENSTEIN
(band echoes)

ENSEMBLE: THERE IS NO STORY WITH NO BACKSTORY
NO CANVAS WITHOUT A MIND’S EYE
THERE’S NEVER BEEN A BETTER WAY TO START A STORY
SO THIS STORY BEGINS WITH A ONCE UPON A TIME.

Suddenly, the set and the stage clears, to reveal Lisa flopping around the stage helplessly.
LISA: I’M. A. FISH. I’M A FISH.
WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?
THERE’S NOTHING TO DO
MY TAIL IS TOO COLD
I NEED SOME COMPENSATION IN SEVEN POUNDS OF GOLD
BUT MY FRIEND WILL BE COMING SOON
YES! I KNOW HE’LL BE WALKING DOWN
MY BESTEST FRIEND IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD
AND HIS NAME IS GEORGE NOT…
FOUND

Cuts to a regular suburban neighborhood.


GOGY: Hello there, Lisa!

LISA: Hi George, what’s the news today?

GOGY: Oh not much! Just taking a morning walk.

LISA attempts to get the mail, but alas has no arms.

GOGY: Er, you need some help there?

LISA: Much appreciated.
So, are you leaving town in a few days?

GOGY: Yup! Gotta go see my pal Tommy. He lives in England, y’know. That’s kinda… far.

LISA: Great observation.

LISA goes back inside, GOGY continues along and begins his song.


GOGY: OHHHHHHH, MYYYYYYY
NAME IS GEORGE, THE GOGY NOT FOUND
I’M THE BEST SINGLE PERSON THAT WAS EVER AROUND
DREAM AND TOMMY, SAP AND I
SAVING THE WORLD WITH FRIENDSHIP ON THE SIDE
I WAS NOT FOUND

EVERYONE HERE IN SUBURBIA
BOWS DOWN TO ME, RESPECTS ME, BUT I’M HUMBLE, I STILL LOVE YA
ALL IT TAKES FOR YOU TO KNEEL
ON A MILKED OUT SERVER WITH MASS APPEAL
SIMPLY A LITTLE CRAFTING CAN
ALLOW US TO BEAT DHAR FREAKING MANN
BECAUSE MY NAME’S GOGY AND I’M THE BEST
SO WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I WALK INTO THE ROOOOAAAAA——–

Gogy is run over by a car. He dies and the song ends.
After waiting a few seconds, Lisa re-enters.

LISA: Hey what’s going on out here? I heard a little ruck- OH GOD WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU GOGY!
There’s only one thing this could mean… oh. NO! NOT GOGY WOGY!
(echo)
Well, there’s… there’s not much I- I- I can do ab-bout this and it’s ummmmmmmmm (stuttering throughout)
WAIT! I KNOW WHAT TO DO!

Incantation music (aka timpani rolling and low wind trills) starts.

LISA: Oh how aureate my surroundings are, arsonize and discontinue these unparalleled evils at hand!

Music stops, moment of silence.

LISA: Uh, it’s not worki–

Suddenly, a PORTAL appears at stage right. It is created using projection technology.

LISA: OH MY GOD THAT’S A PORTAL!!!!! IS GOGY IN THERE?

(approaches portal)

LISA: GOOOOOOOGGGGGGGYYYYYYYYYYY!

Lisa trips and falls, and enters the portal, screaming. A trap door + fog is used for special effects.

BLACK OUT (orchestral overture)









Next page



Lights up on a rather familiar looking meeting table. Ensemble members enter stage in Among Us suits. A person in a purple suit (Lisa) falls down from a tube in the sky.

GREEN: WELL EVERYONE, I THINK WE KNOW WHY WE’RE HERE.

ALL AMONG USERS: WHY?

BLUE: SOME SUSSY IMPOSTOR KILLED AND I WAS NEAR!

ALL AMONG USERS: HOW?

PINK: WELL I WAS IN COMMUNICATIONS, IT WASN’T ME

BLUE: YOU SEE I HAVE AN IDEA. WHAT IF WE SKIP?
CALM THE CAMARADERIE AND HAND OUT SOME SLIPS
GREEN, YOU FOLLOW BLACK, AND RED, YOU FOLLOW PURPLE
WE DON’T WANT ANY IMPOSTORS THAT MIGHT CAUSE US TO-

EVERYONE: press the skip button. The table disappears and each member of the Among Us crew goes around to do their tasks. Some go down into the audience as well, including Lisa (Purple), who tries to go down, but is involved in a no-words cat-and-mouse dance with Red.

PURPLE: Red, just please let me get by you.

RED: No! I was told to follow you and I trust the crew. We need to stick together for safety. Let’s go to MedBay to do the scan.

PURPLE looks visibly scared. The two arrive at MEDBAY.

PURPLE: Alright here, Red, you go first.

RED: Fine.

Red scans, he’s alright and confirmed to be a crewmate.

RED: Now you.

PURPLE: Um…. uhhhhhhhhhhhh…….

SUDDENLY, we are whisked away from the scene and into the opposite side of the map, in Communications. ORANGE enters stage, looks around to spy for watchers, and then takes large objects out of his pocket. These are pieces of his broken glass table.

ORANGE: ONE DAY, TWO SCORE YEARS AGO
I BOUGHT YOU FRESH AND NEW
THE FINEST TEMPERED SHEEN, AND ALWAYS OH SO CLEAN
BUT LOVE IS MEANT TO BREAK YOUR HEART TOO
AND ON THAT ONE FATEFUL DAY
MY LIFE CHANGED FOREVER
IT WAS JUST AN INNOCENT GAME
I NEVER MEANT IT TO, I SWEAR NEVER!
JUST PLAYING JENGA ON YOU, MY TABLE
MAYBE I WAS WRONG TO PLAY IT WITH BRICKS
AND JUST ONE FLASH, BEFORE I WAS ABLE
MY LIFE WAS OVER WHEN THE TEMPERED GLASS CLICKED
THE TABLE CRASHED INTO THE GROUND
AND AS ANY STABLE PERSON WHO CARES ABOUT A TABLE WOULD, I
LOUDLY EXCLAIMED, CALLING OUT TO THE GRAVE
*plays the sound effect of “Oh no! Our table! It’s broken*
*Orange continues to cry for a few seconds*
IN SHORT, I’M BROKEN WITHOUT YOU
THE MOMENT I BROKE YOU
OH NO
MY TABLE
IT’S BROKEN.

*waits in silence for 5 seconds, then stares at the audience*

ORANGE: AAAAH! What are you guys doing, get out of here!

ORANGE runs off stage.
Cuts back to Purple and Red in their MedBay confrontation.


RED: What are you waiting for, Purple? SCAN.

PURPLE: Buuuttt, ummmmmmmmmm
HERE, FINE! I’ll do it!

Purple gets on the scanner and waits approximately 5 seconds, before a PORTAL spawns stage right and sucks her in.

PURPLE: Wait, WHAT?!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!


Blackout.

Favorite creature: Falcon
Least Favorite: Leech
File
Creature Name: Leecon (Thank you, Dr. Lucy, for the very original name)
Characteristics: Small in size, roughly the size of a canary. Has a leech-like mouth and head, but the rest of its body resembles that of a Peregrine falcon.
Behavior: Will fly up into the sky then dive down at surprising speeds. It will then latch onto its prey, sucking out 4% of its blood. It afterwards falls off and flies away to later repeat the process.
Population: According to our records, we’ve only found seven of them, and are continuing the search to study this creature further and find more. The creature has no trouble surviving and their reproducing habits are very efficient, but because of its population size, it has been considered nearly extinct for the time being.
Climate: The Leecons prefer warm, humid climates. We’ve found three dead Leecon bodies in the swamps of Florida, and the rest of them have been found in the Amazon rainforest, preying mainly on the wildlife there.



I looked around the board room. Dr. Lucy folded her hands together and calmly said, “Thank you for that information, Lyra. We will continue research on the Leecon. You are free to go.”
I nodded and walked out, my friends and fellow researchers following.
My friend, Callisto, squealed once the door was closed. “You did such a great job, Lyra! Dr. Lucy will definitely promote you after that amazing presentation!”
I rolled my eyes. “It wasn’t that great. I just found Leecons and told her about it. It’s nothing much.”
“Nothing much?! Lyra! You could become head of the research!”
I shook my head. “I’ll always just be another Fear Containment guard, and you know it. Speaking of which, we’re having meals soon, so I’ve got to go.”
I walked towards the fear containments. But, before I could go far, I heard Dr. Lucy say something.
“I can’t wait to see how the Leecon plays out in the future.”

(Also i used my ipad to write this and i have a weird keyboard thing that i bluetooth whenever i want to write,but there wasn`t enough keys i think so it doesn`t include ‘ so i use ` instead of ‘ - wow this is probably going to break the mood isn`t it)

As most stories do,I will start it off with words of power.No financial power, or things like that, but rather the power of knowledge, the feeling of magic that you would feel when your fingers go to open a book you’ve never read before, or, rather, the power of the word.For pens, without powerful words, hold no magic.
Once upon a time, in a prosperous land surrounded by hills with a castle tucked between the middle of two particularly large ones, a girl wanted to die.
Why the girl wanted to die, I have no idea why, and neither did she.The girl had quite a fine life, considering she was a princess, is living in a castle surrounded by hills, flowers, and townspeople (because townspeople definitely belong in that section).Perhaps it was because she was betrothed to a daughter of a duchess.But perhaps there is a different reason, as the girl didn’t have anything against the duchesss girl, no, in fact, they were childhood friends.But the girl simply had no interest in her.Both of the girls had fancied other girls before, yes, but the two girls simply were not compatible together.They were destined to be best friends, nothing less, nothing more.
But I dont think this particular predicament is one that our ‘protagonist’ would want to die over-
Oh,would you look at that.She`s waking up this second.Let`s see what will happen, and maybe uncover some clues about why.
Well, not very much, apparently.She goes to her bathroom with some clothes and a towel ( I will not be watching or describing her in the bathroom because it would be intrusive,creepy,and weird. -Narrator) , and leaves after about fifteen minutes, fully dressed, in a suit (or is that a tuxedo?), walks to her doorway, and slips on fancy-looking blue shoes, as that is one of the blue, pale yellow, and brown that makes up the kingdom`s colors, before opening the door and slamming it shut firmly behind herself.
After walking down the hallway, a large, burly, man with a large tuxedo (or a suit?) joined her in the hall, with his left eyebrow raised.``You don`t usually leave the castle.Where are you heading to, son?``
What an odd nickname.
The girl blinked, ``Oh, you know I`m heading to the village apothecary for something the duchess's daughter wanted,``
``Why does the duchess want something from the apothecary?I mean, she certainly looks the part, but…``
The girl shrugs.``Dunno.Oh, look at the time- welp, gotta go.`
` The girl, after this abrupt ending to the conversation, began to walk fast towards the door.Not even running, just walking at a odd pace, and did the same thing with the door, closing it shut behind herself, instead of turning around. The girl continued with this pace as she walked down the road from her castle down into the village, getting a couple of side-eyes while doing so.
Soon, she had reached the apothecary. The girl, finally, stopped in front of it, as if hesitating, but scrunched together her face stubbornly, and opened the door.
The apothecary was a cramped, one-room (that I know of) building, with multiple shelves, and somehow, even more concoctions.At the back of the shop there was a table, which the girl almost stumbled into when she first walked in, with a short, balding man attending it.
``Um- is this the apothecary?`` She asked, in a somewhat nervous tone.
The man raised a thin, wormy eyebrow.``Do ye got eyes,lad?`` He asked in a thick Scottish accent.How he had the accent, I do not know.The kingdom is nowhere near Scotland. ``Of course it is!And don`t just call it `the apothecary`, it`s Sr Lionel`s. Sir Lionels Apothecary.``
``Er,Okay.Um, do you happen to have- `` The girl leaned in and whispered something in his ear, and the man`s eyes went wide.``Do ye got a death wish, laddie?It`s a type of poison!``
The girl, wordlessly, took her hands into the pocket of her tuxedo (or was it a suit?) and dug out two handfuls of gold coins
``Why of o`course!It`s just somewhere over here…`` The short man got up from behind his table, and began to search the shelves.Rummaging through wildly, he eventually found what the girl wanted for her friend.
``Here ye go, `` he said, after taking the gold pieces.The girl smiled greatfully, before asking ``Um, sorry if this is annoying, but if someone comes by the name of Grace the duchess`s daughter, please give her this.`` The girl reached into her pockets once more, and pulled out a locket attached to a necklace from her left pocket and handed it to him.``It`s my most precious item- please do not let any harm come to it.``
And with that, she left. Somehow, she had spent so much time in the apothe- Pardon me, Sir Lionel`s Apothecary, it had turned to nightfall. The girl gave a bitter smile, and began to walk, much more slowly, towards the hills. And then she walked, and walked, way past the hills, until she came up to a gorge.
She takes the vial of whatever it was she wanted from Sir Lionel`s Apothecary, and pops off the lid.
I have a sickening feeling I know where this is going.Please don`t do it.
The girl looks up, and stares up.``You..You do know I can hear you, right?``
…I beg your pardon?
``I figured you knew.But i guess it`s just protagonist magic-`` she does air quotes in the air -`` and only I could.``
Oh.Well.I`m not sure what exactly that`s supposed to mean, but, please don`t do it.
She threw up her hands, almost dropping the vial over the gorge.``You know how they see me.As a..as a man.It`s horrible, knowing you cannot be who you want to be, and you know that the people you love would not accept you if they really knew you.I..I just-`` she stops, and covers her face with her vial-less hand, to hide a sob,I`m assuming. ``I just can`t do…`` She inhales a shaky breath, `` I just can`t do this.I hate this body,I hate it so much.If God, like all the churches and the bibles say, exists, and is all-knowing, all powerful, why didn`t he make me the way I- I need?``
I don`t have a answer to that.I`m sorry.
``I know you don`t.It`s okay.I just..can`t live in this world anymore.I can`t. Don`t you understand?Wouldn`t you like to change your fate of having to narrate everyone else`s lives, but never getting to live your own?``
I…
She smiles, bittersweet this time, goes to the very end of the gorge, and drinks from the vial, and I am gone, swept by the water, like her body, which toppled over into the gorge.
For narrators hold no power without a protagonist.

Favorite animal: Tiger
Least favorite animal: Mosquito

Like it's sharp words, the tiquito has a sharp, spike-like tail instead of the usual tiger tail. It contains as much venom that if it strikes a person, that person would get a large boil-like spot that is dangerously itchy.
The tiquito was not made by accident, but I'm the only one allowed to question that. You would think that it would be a tiger version of a mosquito, but it's actually vice versa. The tiquito is a tiger-like creature with bug-like eyes that is the same size as normal tiger eyes. It's fur is hard like an exoskeleton, which is able to open up revealing long mosquito-like elytra. They have the same teeth and tongue as as tiger though. They practice hematophagy, in which they feed on blood. They kill prey using the instincts of a tiger, but they only drink the blood. This could be inefficient as blood would easily spill out onto grass as the animal is teared apart. The tiquito lives in humid rainforests where the climates would be suitable for tigers and mosquitoes. As they are very much beast-like creatures, they do not interfere with humans. Which is a surprise. They were created by humans. But I wouldn't say any more than that. They are a able to speak human words, but they're words are sharp and stern. It's actually quite impressive.
I should just stop now; I have something important to say. It comes up whenever I think or talk about the tiquito, but I just need to get this off my chest.
I was observing and comparing the instincts of comparing tigers and mosquitoes.l I guess they were fifty-fifty when it came to that. Then I went to my colleague's lab to share my findings.
Then I saw the tiquito.
I couldn't take back what I said.
It was too late.
My thoughtings came together.
And now I can't tell you any more than that, for the heavy weight of guilt was almost lifted off.
Almost.

Lost in Time (405 words)

“Um, hello?” I called into the empty field, but the only reply was the soft padding of my footsteps on the grass, and the only thing I saw was, well, grass. A week ago, it had been bustling with noise, crowded with people who had come to buy fresh vegetables and honey and other things at the farmers market, going in and out of colorful booths. I had bought a plant at the market then. It was beautiful, and I’d never seen anything like it – long, rainbow-tipped leaves like spikes stuck out from the base of the stem. Each petal looked like it had lava trapped inside, swirling and churning. The petals bent down and were just as spike-like as the leaves. They looked kind of like teeth.

Theeeen, I brought it home and it ate my cat. I’d heard of carnivorous plants before. I was honestly kind of awestruck by them. But they usually eat flies and other small insects, and even the biggest ones can’t eat anything more than a large frog. That’s why I had returned to the market to ask a few follow-up questions on why the plant, which I had been told to ‘just give plenty of sun and water to weekly’, had eaten Cannoli, my beloved 17-pound Maine Coon. I had come home from high-school one day, while my dads were still at work, and my younger sister was still in school, and found his fluffy cream-colored tail hanging limp from its beautiful, terrifying petal-y jaws.

Where was it?? The market was supposed to be here every Saturday between 11 to 4. It was 12:39 on a Saturday, and I would've seen a sign if it was canceled.

I walked up to one of the park signs, where any events were displayed. There was a poster about an Easter-egg-hunt from weeks ago, and one about the upcoming summer-reading program at the library next to the field. Nothing about the farmers market my family and I had been going to for years, which had almost never been canceled.

“Hey, August. What are you looking for?” A friendly voice from behind me asked. I turned and saw it was my favorite librarian, Ms. Briar.

“Oh, hi. I was looking for if the farmers market was happening? It was supposed to start over an hour ago,” I answered.

She frowned at me. “Farmers market? There’s never been a farmers market here.”

1.1 Katty woke up and immediately looked in the window. It was spring, so sun was already up. Katty heard many sounds of spring: sound of cars, children playing on a playground, birds singing. Katty looked at the screen of her phone and realized she was late to school.
She quickly took her bag and went out of her flat. It was warm outside, so Katty felt like it's already summer.
Katty ran very fast into school. There was still ten minutes till lesson. She took off her coat and saw her friend, Caleb. “Let's meet on the fourth floor and talk, after the lesson!” - he suggested.
The first lesson for Katty was literature. “Katty, did you hand in your essay?” - the teacher asked, walking into class. “Y…yes…s, what happened?” - Katty asked quietly and unsure. “Katty, you're lying. I didn't lose any essay, but yours isn't here.” - the teacher said. Katty was angry, but she hid it and did't answer anything. She didn't know what would happen next. “And now please answer…” - and the teacher began asking Katty the easiest questions. “She isn't going to check homework. Teacher is just angry at me.” - Katty thought.
Katty was close to Caleb. They were looking how Katty was playing a videogame. “Please, let me play!” - Caleb asked. “No.” “Why!?” “You can ruin my account!” - Katty was already angry. Caleb started to pull the phone from Katty's hands. The girl also didn't give up. Suddenly the phone fell on the floor and broke its glass. Caleb stepped back and sobbed.
On the next break Katty met Lyn. Lyn was walking somewhere, jumping happily. “Hi, Katty! Are you sad? What happened?” - she asked. “Literature teacher shouted at me.” - Katty answered. “Don't worry. Do you remember that holidays start tomorrow.” - Lyn reassured Katty. Lyn gave her friend chocolate that she bought at school canteen. They sat on a sofa and ate it together.
When Katty came home, she was very sad and annoyed. She got the worst mark for history. Her phone turned off right when she was chatting with Sque from another school. Katty took her schoolbag to her room and started doing homework. Katty's mum understood that she was angry and didn't ask any questions. Katty didn't want to do any homework at all. This day was unlucky, and she didn't know why.
Katty's mum went into the room and asked: “Do you want to go to the cinema with your brother today.” 409 words
1.2 “I would go for a walk with you, but….. You have cat ears and that would be awkward.” - Wave heard her friend talking. She wanted to answer something bad, but just slammed the “end call” button.
Wave was just an ordinary person. She was tall, had long brown hair and blue eyes. But she was a bit different: she had cat ears. That's why others bullied her.
Wave's best friend was Joel. Wave was an artist and Joel delivered her pictures. “Your fluffy cat ears are beautiful. Don't let others question it.” - he often said.
Joel caught Wave doing something in her tablet. “Hiya!” - Wave waved her hand, welcoming Joel to look at her tablet. - “Look, there are tons of orders. But I have one ready. ” - she pulled a piece of paper out of a printer. “Can you please take it to owner now? And I'll finish some other pictures.” - Wave asked. Joel grabbed the paper and ran out of the room.
Wave looked in the window and saw Joel sitting in one of the flyers near the house, smiling. She smiled back.
Wave was shading a drawing very carefully. Suddenly she heard a knock in her door. Wave walked to the door and opened it. There was her “friend”. “Hi, Lina” - Wave greeted sadly. “Can you hide your cat ears? They are so ugly!” - Lina said. “Thanks, good idea.” - Wave answered this only because she wanted to be kind.
Then Joel went into the door. “Hey, bully here again!” - he said. Lina awkwardly went outside. Joel and Wave looked at each other, understanding. Joel took another bunch of drawings and left.
Wave was very sad, so she decided to go for a walk. Many strangers who went past Wave, looked at her hatefully, but she didn't know how to respond. Wave lifted her head and looked at the big skyscrapers. “I'm so small and different in this world.” - she thought. Wave turned left on the street… then she stopped and surprisingly stared on what she saw. There was a group of kids who had cat ears same as Wave's! “Is that a dream?” - Wave thought. Wave didn't stop to check and started walking home very fast. She was panting when she ran inside her flat. “What's the matter?” Joel asked very surprisingly. - “Is there something with your super quick art orders?” “I saw other people with cat ears!” - Wave shouted. 401
2 - 3. Red read a message on the wall: “There is one imposter among you. Vote of the imposter or finish all tasks to win.” There were 6 amogus in the spaceship: Blue, Green, Yellow, Black, Lime and him, Red, and one of them was the imposter.
Right after amogus went into the spaceship, all of them except Red, ran away, maybe to do tasks. Red looked at his tablet. A message popped up on it: “Tasks are shown on the map. Some of them are visual - do in front of other crewmates. Don't show this tablet to anyone.” Red was a bit confused. He looked at the map and saw that the nearest task was still very far. “I'll walk a bit and watch after other crewmates.” - Red thought.
Red was walking to a place called “shields.” All amogus were intensively doing tasks - or faking them. Red saw a yellow light - a task. He nearly reached it when he turned and saw Black right in front of him. Red was very scared. “I'm going to be killed. To early!” - he thought. But black just turned and went away.
Red looked at the wall and saw words on it: “Follow your heart. It will tel you who the killer is with no mistakes.” He got even more scared. Red did a super clear task at shields and calmed down.
A meeting was called after Red did a few tasks. He heard a conversation:
Lime: I saw Blue vent!
Blue: No, Lime is lying!
Green: Let's vote Blue. If he's innocent, vote Lime.
“We can't vote too many amogus!” - Red said, but nobody listened to him.
Red saw a screen on his tablet: “Who is the imposter?” All names of amogus were shown here. Red pit his tablet close to him and clicked Green, then a tick. The meeting ended. Blue had the most votes. Red stared in surprise as Blue faded and finally disappeared. A message appeared on Red's tablet: “Blue was not the imposter.”
All amogus slowly went away for the table, sad and confused.
But after a few seconds, Red's tablet started to beep and its screen turned red. “What's happening?” - Yellow asked, nearly crying. “Comms sabotaged.” - Black said, uninterested. All amogus were running somewhere, and Red went after them. Everyone was hardly trying to fix something, but Red didn't know what to do and stayed asside. Finally, sabotage was fixed. Red looked up - and saw another sentence on the wall: “The worst one is trying to be the best.”
Red went away to do another tasks. Amogus were usually silent during the game, but now he heard a conversation. Yellow was standing near a wire task. “Can someone help me? I can never do it!” - he said annoyingly. Green helpfully took Yellow's hand and connected all the wires. “Thanks” - said Yellow happily.
Red stared around as light was slowly turning off. He saw an arrow on his tablet, pointing somewhere to the middle of the map. Red already wanted to run and fix the light when he heard a loud painful scream. He quickly took his tablet and pressed the red button. Red closed his eyes and then found himself beside the table in the canteen. The light was on again.
Red: please don't be angry that I called a meeting. I heard a scream. Oh, and Yellow is missing. Where is he?
Lime: He's been killed by the imposter.
Red: Ow, that's so sad! We need to find the imposter quickly. Let's everyone prove why they are not the imposter.
Green: I am not the imposter! I helped Yellow to do tasks. I fixed the sabotage first.
Lime: I was away when Yellow was killed.
Red: I was in good relationship with Yellow. Also I don't know anything here, so I can't be the imposter.
Black: I don't know how to prove my innocense. But you'll regret if you'll vote me out.
The voting started. Red silently voted Green, not showing it to anyone. “Green probably started the sabotage, because he wasn't talking at that time. He also killed Yellow, because he was the closest amogus to him.”
But, fortunately or unfortunately, all votes tied up and nobody got ejected.
All amogus stayed in one group. They were scared because the game was probably coming to an end. “Let's look at the stars.” - Lime invited Red. Red and Lime stood at the edge of the canteen. “But how can I be sure that you're not the imposter?” - Red asked. “An imposter wouldn't waste time looking at the stars.” - Lime answered quietly. “I am also innocent because this is a perfect place but I didn't kill you yet.” “I trust you.”
After a long pause, Lime said: “The stars are beautiful, aren't they? Red, let's always stay together because there are a few of us left.”
Suddenly, Red's tablet started to beep again. Unlike other situations, it also had a 60 seconds countdown. Lime and Red ran to the “reactor meltdown” side by side. They pressed the hand on different sides. The sabotage was fixed, but when Red turned around, he didn't see Lime. He saw only Black. Red already wanted to call a meeting, but Black said: “Please, listen till the end. Green is the imposter and I allied with him. He didn't kill me so we can win together.” Red pressed the red button.
Red: Green, you can vote me, but I know you cheated.
Black: Yea, I told him because it was time.
Green: Black, you traitor!
The meeting ended after a few seconds, because everyone voted. Red's heart nearly stopped when he saw everyone voting for him. He sadly looked at Black as wall of the canteen faded. In complete darkness there was just Red and his tablet. There were two buttons on it: “quit game” and “play again”. Red quicky chose “play again” - “My roommates were so kind and Black isn't a traitor.” The ground shook and Red found himself on a seat. He saw Yellow in the middle of the room. Red ran right to Yellow and hugged him: “Hi! You're back! Were you scared?” “Hi, Red! I'm alright!” - Yellow responded happily. There were also all other amogus in the room. “Hey, have you talked enough?” -asked Blue and pressed the starting button. Red got scared when he moved into darkness and there was a word “imposter” in the middle. But he put on a calm face and went into the canteen.“You alright?” - Yellow asked. “I don't want to kill anyone!” - Red thought. He instantly wanted to leave the game. So Red ran to the electrical.
Red ran into electrical and put out his tablet. He tried to click the “leave game” button, but somehow it would't let him. Then Red saw a vent. It pulled him like a magnet. Red jumped inside, it was dark. Soon he fell asleep.
Red didn't know how much time passed when his tablet made sound and he was into a meeting. He tried not to show any signs that he slept.
Green: Red, is everything okay? Are you mad at me for the last game?
Red: No, I forgave you.
Blue: Red, have you done any tasks? You are the last person to do this!
Red: Sorry, I forgot.
Lime: Let's vote Red! He spent time somewhere, while in other game he was always looking and listening.
Red: Wai…
Red didn't have a chance to finish his phrase. He was, scared, in the darkness again. “You were kicked from the game” - a message showed up on Red's tablet. He sat on the floor and thought: “Why would they ban me? The host of the room is Blue. Maybe he is angry that I didn't know anything.” Red took his tablet and clicked “find a game”.
Surprisingly, he was in a noisy room full of different amogus. A tan amogus spoke to Red: - Hey, do you want to join my game?
- Let me think. I was banned from the previous game. - Red responded.
- Banned? What happened?
- That's all because I don't really know how to do tasks.
Red went away from Tan and spoke to a maroon amogus:
- Hello. Can you help me to do tasks?
Bur Maroon just rolled her eyes and went away. Red saw a big group of different coloured amogus running into an empty room. “All of them are friends. They always have someone to help and listen. But I am alone.” - he thought.
Red stared as Blue went into the room, happily chatting with others. Red stepped close to him and spat:
- You banned me! Why? I always kept voting for the imposter! I didn't vote you! Why couldn't you just explain and vote me off?
- C…can I explain? - said Blue shyly.
- Black already explained that you don't play fairly!
- I'll say another thing. We had a friend called Red, who played over a hundred games with us. In his last game, he was the imposter. He didn't kill anyone and crewmates did all tasks. Nobody suspected anyone. But, when we moved to our room again, he wasn't there. We went outside our room to go looking for him. We asked other amogus about him, but they have never heard about Red. Then we saw you. Unluckily, I thought that you were that Red.
- Yeah, that's why you've been acting with me so strange.
- So you're not Red! - Yellow got very sad and didn't speak anymore.
- I'm so sorry. I confused you. Would you like me to leave?
But all his former teammates were already running into a free room.8
Red went to the edge of the room and stayed there a bit, thinking. After this, he turned around - and saw a book called “tasks guide”. He started reading it and discovered some new facts: to fix light sabotage you have to turn all flickers to green, to do storage task you have to run back and fourth, you can use cameras and admin to track down others, at O2 task you have to pull leaves, and many other.
Many other red amogus ran past Red. He wasn't special because he couldn't do tasks. Red was cool because he cared about others, asked them questions, tried not to die, put effort into game, watched others' actions. Red smiled, but nobody invited him into game. 1700

Bat+Panda
Panat
I realize that's a horrible name, but WHATEVER

Panat's rank amongst the rarest species on Earth. It's estimated that only about 10 Panat's are living in the wild. Panat's have evolved from regular panda's, and the only noticeable difference is that they grew bat-like wings. These wings span from tip to tip about 5 feet. This allows the Panat's to soar though the skies.

The reason why Panat's are endangered is because of their habitat. Panat's need a large supply of insects and small rodents in order to survive. Since humans have been killing off insects for several decades now, they have few places where they can live. Panat's have been pushed back into the shadowy parts of the Amazon Rainforest. There, they can duel mostly unharmed since the food supply for them is large enough. But only just. Since humans keep coming and cutting down trees, Panat's are suffering because of it.

Most humans are unaware that Panat's even exist. Since there's so few of them left, almost all the humans on the planet have never even heard of these creatures. Today, that changes. We plan on starting an organisation that will help protect these wonderful creatures. Instead of cutting down trees, why not plant them? Then the Panat's will have enough food to eat.

It's been rumored that Panat's could actually live like the various frogs and birds in the Amazon, because of it's bat wings. Scientists believe that Panat's could actually reside on the trees of the forest and feed on smaller mammals. But, due to the cutting down of trees, this cannot happen. Some scientists also think there's a reason why the Panat's tend to prefer the shadows:

They prefer to stay hidden. Panat's like to sneak up on their prey, and catch them by surprise. Living in the shadowy areas helps the Panat's accomplish just this. Panat's are prone to the sunlight, and tend to avoid it as much as possible. Exposure to the sun may cause Panat's to become very dangerous, so if you ever see a Panat out in the sunlight, run away from it as fast as you can.

Shooting Star (a poem)
I made a wish on a star
That fell out of the sky
What do you do
When you forget how to fly
It's not like riding a bicycle,
Something that stays,
Cause if you don’t use them
Your wings go away.
And now I'm a shooting star
Falling out of the sky
The wish I made
Forgot how to fly,
And as I plummet to Earth
I wonder out loud
“Where did my wings go?”
Are they in someone's garage
Rotting away,
Or is some kid using them
As a prop for their play,
Or are they in a museum
Stuck behind a glass case,
Forming a plan to escape.
And are they waiting for me
To someday return,
Or are they glad that I'm gone?
Cause I'm a shooting star
Who forgot how to fly
What do you do
When you fall from the sky.
I remember a time when
I knew how to soar
But those days are no more.
I would soar to the stars
Up in the pitch black sky
The light of the moon
Showing me where to fly.

Today, we will be diving into the world of Boxelder cats. These creatures are a cross breed between boxelder bugs and cats! Like those disgusting vermin bugs we know and hate, the boxelder cat’s body is oval shaped with a red, arrow-like streak running down its wings. Instead of six thin, stick legs, the boxelder cat has four fluffy black paws. Each one has a red stripe, and the stripe’s placement varies for every boxelder cat. This cozy creature’s normally flat, bug texture is replaced with short kitten hairs. But, the boxelder cat’s head is quite a bit smaller than its own body, and it has two jutting out long black antenna. All boxelder cats are pure black, with acceptions of their wings and paws. And all boxelder cats’ eyes are red. They are about the size of a flat palm when fully grown, and about the size of a finger joint (1/3 of a finger) when born. The scientific name for the boxelder cat is boxeldus feleminus. I know, very fancy. The boxelder cat has flying capabilities, although they are limited and most of the time boxekder cats prefer to stay put in one area, stuck to land. They can be found commonly in northern america, and colder places, or can be seen migrating in fall with their thick and fuzzy coats. As for their diets, boxelder cats eat tiny breeds of minnows, and those only. Boxelder cats are not recommended as a household pet, they are seen as mildly annoying cousin of the common boxelder bug. Boxelder bugs contain no tail whatsoever, as it would get in the way of their precious wings. If you’re having any problems, please call XXX-XXX-XXXX (I used the X on purpose as a joke because of the scratch censorship system lol). This is the head of unusual creatures department, Lemon Cake, and I’ll see you all next week for another strange creature! (Not really tho-)

Song:
Fast paced music that inspired this
“Hurry hurry!,” Amanda Wilkins thought. She leaped out of bed. She glanced at the clock which read 8:00 AM. She rushed into the bathroom and took a shower. After that she thought,“I see why everyone else seems to take their showers at night.” She brushed her hair and picked up her makeup kit and was about to apply some when she thought, “Screw that there is no time” She ran into her room. It was September 1 and it was going to be Amanda's first day of highschool, if she made it on time that is as school started at 8:30. Amanda was looking for what to wear. She wanted to look cool but not too fancy. In the end she chose a pair of jeans, a random t-shirt, her jean jacket, and a beanie. Amanda looked at the time and saw it was 8:20 AM. She got her backpack and put in a couple notebooks and pencils. She shut the door thinking about how she was going to get to school. The school bus had left ages ago and she was going to have to take the public bus. Amanda was not very used to the bus but it was not too bad. She checked her watch. 8:30 AM the first bell had just rung. The way her school worked was that 10 minutes after the first bell had rung was when the second bell rang. Students who came after were officially tardy. The normal bus didn't stop directly in front of the school so she had to walk the rest of the way. She almost got lost but finally at 8:36 she got there. After the first all school assembly school went not as expected because her school was massive and she couldn't find any rooms. She had to find her homeroom class. It was 9-D. You see like I mentioned before this was Amanda's first time in highschool so she was a freshman, which is the 9th grade. Since her last name starts with “W” she's in the 3rd group. She rushed through the halls looking for her room she found a stairwell and realised she should look there. She was walking at first, but then that turned into a jog, and that turned into a run. A teacher saw her and stopped her. He asked why she was running but instead of scolding her he helped her get to her homeroom

Melancholy music equals melancholy story

Sunday March 30th 9am…
Martha Stewart was broken. It had been a week after the death of her father, and it was the day of the funeral. Martha Stewart put on her black gown and was getting ready for the funeral. She felt tired of crying and sobbing. She felt drained. But most of all she felt shocked and saddened she just could not believe that her father was truly gone. Everyone tried to comfort her by saying he died for a good cause or he was in a better place but this just made her feel worse. She could not understand how this could have happened to her father. He was a good person; he even worked for the government as a police officer. So far her mother had not told her the details but she was going to today.

Sunday March 30th 12pm…

“We are gathered here today in honor of Peter Stewart…” Martha tried hard not to fall asleep but at that moment she couldn't feel anything. She felt a deep dark feeling composed of sadness,anger,and regret. Her mother finally came up to the front and was about to start talking about how Martha's father had died. Her mother began,“ As most of you know my husband was a policeman he worked hard for the government and was on a case of a kidnapping that had occured recently. Now my husband was chief police in our city and was in charge of the big situations. Martha’s mom stopped as if she was about to cry. She continued, “Like I said before my husband,Peter, was working on a kidnapping case. The parents had gotten their daughter kidnapped and they were told to deliver $25,000 to a certain place. If not they would kill the child they were told not to tell the police. They called their friend and told them about it telling them to call me. I got the phone and I told my husband. As soon as Peter heard the story he got to work. The police went to the place the couple was supposed to send the money to. It turned out that nearby was a small barn. Now they suspected that the kidnappers would be here but there were only horses. The policeman were about to leave when they heard a shot ring in the air.” My mom looked at me and cried.

Inspiration: a soccer ball on the floor
The score was 2-2 and it was the second 45 minutes. The game was going along well. The fans were cheering loudly. Russell Sprout was called to switch for his best friend on the team Mike. Russel ran onto the field and took his position as striker. It was going well as Russel got open for a pass from the midfielder. He was about to receive it when he felt a pain in his foot and fell to the ground. He woke up again in a white room. There was a nurse with him. “Ahh you’ve finally woken up. Let me explain why you are here. You were at the soccer game and the defender from the other team somehow kicked your foot. The pain was so great you blacked out. You have a major bone fracture.” She handed him a copy of the x-ray. “I am very sorry to say this but you will not be able to play soccer for a long time. It might take months for the bone to heal and you will have to go through physiotherapy after it does heal. Russel was still in shock. He wanted to speak but all that came out of his mouth was, “What?” He tried to move but his leg hurt. The nurse said, ”I understand this is a lot to take in all at once. I am going to leave you now. She turned to leave and then looked back. “Oh, and your parents and team members are here to visit you. Should I let them in?” Russel managed to say, “Yes please, that would be great.” First his parents came in. His mom cried, “Russel you are okay? I have been so worried.” She paused and looked at my face. She said, “I suspect you heard the news.” Russel's father said, “Son I know you are probably not feeling very well. But you must be grateful that you are not hurt any more worse than you already are. Russel said weakly, ”At this point I do not know how I feel. I think the doctors have me on something so I am not feeling too great. Does Abby know?“ Now Abby was Russel's little sister, she was 12 years old and was very close to Russell. His father said, ”She knows, as a matter of fact she is here, but is not allowed to be visiting because only people 13+ can visit.“ Russel replied, ”I have always thought that that visiting age limit was weird. Anyway tell her I am fine and that it is going to be ok.“ Russel's parents left the room and his team came in. Mike walked in first. ”Bro are you okay you seemed to be in terrible pain when J.J. junior somehow smashed your fooT. Russel replied I am alright, even though I am still a little numb. His coach said, “Russel I understand that you are not able to play with us and will not be able to do so for a while, but if you agree once you get better you can return to the team. Russel replied, ”Sir I would be honoured to be considered a part of the team again, at least as soon as I recover. The nurse came in smiled and kindly said, “I am sorry but visiting hours are over you will have to leave now.” The team left the room and the nurse turned to Russell and informed him saying, “Now you are going to get a cast in 2 hours. I suggest you rest some more before the doctor comes.” If you need anything, push the button and I will be there.“ Russel nodded his head and after the nurse left he began to try and remember exactly what had happened. He could recollect being on the stretcher and in the ambulance. He could remember when the coach and the rest of his soccer team first got a good look at him. He heard someone say,”Is Russel going to be ok?“ Russel recognised that voice, it was Abby's voice. ”He was about to fall asleep when he realized something. He did not know which team had won the game.

Part 3
Theme: Coming of age

Amanda, now very out of breath, thanked the teacher saying,“ Thank you so very much for helping me. I probably never would have found my homeroom without your help anyway I must go. The teacher followed her inside the classroom. Amanda was quite surprised and exclaimed, ”Oh I do not need any more additional help.“ The teacher just smiled and said, ” I am Mr.Rockfurst and I will be your homeroom teacher for the rest of your school year as a freshman. Amanda thought, “Score! I bet my homeroom teacher is the coolest and most chill teacher in school. Maybe my luck is not too terrible.” But poor Amanda Wilkins was wrong and would not be able to even begin thinking about the unfathomable things that would happen to her. “Excuse me, hello is everything alright?” Mr.Rockfurst asked. He asked this because Amanda Wilkins had frozen up. She finally got back to her senses and replied, “Oh yes I am fine, sorry to bother you.” Let me tell you about what kind of girl Amanda is. Now, despite her outfit, the jean jacket, jeans, and beanie, she is not one of those girls who says, “I am not like other girls.” Amanda is sweet, kind and funny. She is also super smart and her passions lie in music and literature. She daydreams about everything and everyone. But when she does she tends to freeze up in the real world. Amanda Wilkins had just gotten done with orientation and her first lesson and so far she felt ok. Lunch time came and she was determined to make some friends. She tried sitting down next to a group of girls and asked, “I am sorry but is this seat taken?” One of the girls just rolled her eyes and said, “Yeah it is taken.” Amanda Wilkins sat down at an empty table. Pretty soon another girl came and asked, “Can I sit here?” Amanda replied, “Sure what is your name? I am Amanda Wilkins. The girl replied, I am Patricia but my friends call me Pat. Amanda asked, ”So Pat, which homeroom are you in?“ Patricia replied, ”I am in the same homeroom as you, but you probably did not even notice me. Amanda Wilkins replied, “Oh I am so sorry, when my head is in the clouds it is really hard to get me down. Do you have siblings?”… And so this small talk continued until they traded numbers. Lunch was about to end and Patricia asked, “Do you think we have any classes together other than homeroom?” Amanda replied, “We will just have to find out I guess. Anyway I really enjoyed talking to you. See you later?” Patricia said, “For sure, see ya!” School continued as usual it seemed like for that day Pat and Amanda Wilkins did not have any classes together on Monday. They were going to figure things out by texting each other. As soon as Amanda Wilkins got home, her mom asked her how school had gone. “ Amanda started off by telling her mom all about how she was almost late to school, she could not find her homeroom, and she might have made a new friend. Her mother exclaimed, ” You are very lucky to already have a friend. For some students it takes quite a while for them to make friends. And I would know I am-“ Amanda sighed, ” I know I know you were a school teacher.“ ”Now,now do not say it as if it were bad,“ Amanda Wilkins' mom said. Amanda Wilkins went upstairs to work on her music, she played the guitar, after struggling to learn the ”B“ chord she texted Pat. She wrote, ”Hello Pat, how are you? Are you tired after school?“ Pat replied, ”I am actually a little bit tired because I was so stressed about today but I feel better now.“ Amanda looked at the time it was 10pm. She wrote to Pat, ”I have to go to bed see you tomorrow“ Pat replied, ”Yeah Good night.“ Amanda put on her pink pajamas and was about to go to bed when she thought, ”Wait, I better set my alarm clock before I go to bed or else I will be late, and I do not need that.“ She went to bed and dreamt about school and getting ready for school perfectly with an actual planned outfit and not just a bunch of mismatched clothes. Amanda Wilkins was completely and utterly ready for her new high school life. Or so she thought. Amanda woke up the next morning at 6 AM. Feeling as alive as ever she was singing in the shower, was actually able to put on some makeup and had hash browns for breakfast. To Amanda everything was perfect. And that is exactly what she wanted. Amanda walked up to the school bus excited to see Pat there. Together they talked about their dreams. Patricia said, ”I had a dream that my older brother ran away from my family or was never born and I was a single child. And in my dream I was spoiled like crazy. Sometimes I wish dreams could come true but I would miss my older brother way too much if that became real. Amanda told Pat about her dream of a perfect high school life. “I know it is not possible for me to never have a conflict with another student my whole highschool experience, but imagine wouldn't that be great?” Amanda Wilkins told Patricia. When they got to school they put their stuff in their lockers and headed towards the homeroom when Amanda bumped into a girl and spilled a drink on the student. Amanda Wilkins immediately apologized, but the girl said, “Watch where you are going! You'll pay for this, you ruined my favourite dress!” Amanda kept on apologizing but the girl just snorted and walked away. When Amanda and Patricia arrived at homeroom Pat whispered, “I think that girl is going to be a lot of trouble for us.”

My favourite animal is a dolphin probably, at least that's what I've decided on today, and I don't really have a least favourite so I'm going with human. I'll admit I expected when I started this that maybe one or so other people would have chosen human… but it appears more popular as a least favourite animal than I imagined.
The dolphin and human combination animal is something I'm calling a dolman. It's an incredibly uncreative name, I know, but I'm feeling remarkably uncreative today.
They're basically merpeople, but instead of fish tails they, of course, have dolphin ones. Often both parts of their bodies, the human upper half and dolphin lower half, will also have significant traits taken or at least resemblant of both of the combines species. For example, a bottle nose dolman will still have a nose somewhat resembling a bottle of water, despite it not being placed on the dolphin half.
Most if not all dolmen have the ability to learn and speak human languages, but very few ever do. They live their lives out as dolphins do, living in the water and coming up for air when necessary. They do have societies, governments and different cultures under the water unlike dolphins, but as far as biology, their dolphin parts often take precedence. Most for example sleep with one eye open as dolphins do.
There have been a few rare documented cases of dolmen being born with dolphin upper bodies and human lower bodies. However as time goes on this seems to be growing increasingly uncommon, and only three have been reported in the last decade. These creatures struggle with life underwater and often don't survive very long unfortunately.
Throughout history, there are many examples of people being aware of the existence of dolmen, and there is good evidence leading to this being the source of myths about merpeople, but as time went on they faded into myth and now live lives secluded from all but a few humans entrusted with protecting them from the forces of the outside world. If you're wondering why, just imagine how crazy the world would go if suddenly merpeople were real?

My animals are a cheetah and naked mole rat! I have combined the two to make the Jubalyx, a creature that resembles a little feline. The males being around two feet in length at the most, the females reaching three as their maximum height recorded. Young Jubalyx only weigh a few grams and are hardly a few centimeters long. Jubalyxes travel in packs of anywhere between one family to ten families, meaning around thirty to four hundred at the least. Jubies, as they are often called, are social creatures that resemble the cheetah with fur patterns and looks, but the naked mole rat in its ability to dig and live in exquisite tunnels. Jubies have incredibly large families, and each one of these relatives has their own distinct “name”. At a young age, the Jubie “pup” is taught every single call for these relatives, and Jubalyxes have been known to have incredible memory and facial recognition abilities. Jubie eyes can be described as big, black orbs, and when solidified / frozen, take on the properties of many expensive jewels. This is why many Jubalyx “Irvinns”, or groups, have been over-hunted into extinction. The species is now endangered, and very hard to find, as they have burrowed much deeper in the past few decades due to hunting. They used to be found only in the Asian continent, but a few were taken to Africa, where they flourished. So, there are two types of Jubies today, one, the original and older species, the Asian Jubalyx, with sleeker fur, smaller size, and more varied stripe patterns than its relative in Africa, the African Jubalyx, which is bigger with thinner fur and a set fur pattern for each “Irvinn”, similar to a family name. Many legends have sprung up about them over the decades, including that if one harms or captures a Jubie, their families will not rest until their member is returned. Although this has proven false, many hunters of Jubalyxes for their eyes have always ended up missing, an ominous fact that took part in leading to the banning of poaching and or hunting these beautiful creatures.

Daily (no judge, I was rushing) : So umm.. this animal will be a hybrid of a bunny and a Black Widow spider. It will be in the form of a bunny, but the fur is black and there is no tail. The fur is as soft as a bunny. Okay, this is creepy, but the bunny has 8 eyes. The eyes are in the shape of a bunny. Some red spots of fur will be scattered across the body. It has 8 legs and it walks like a spider. The legs have fur on them though. I really think this animal is getting cursed so um.. yeah. It is as tiny as an average black willow. They can see in the dark. It lives in the same spot as black willows would, so beware! It doesn't spin silk, because it's going to be op if it does. The name is going to be (No comments >;( ) is Bunny Widow. Oh, and also, it eats grass, carrots, and its favorite, hay. Its predators are owls and birds ;p. It will have poison, just like the Black Widow, which is very toxic. It sadly, can't jump because black widows can't jump. They lay eggs, like the spider and like the outdoors. I think I just made the animal really cursed. It lives until 8 or 12 years. Also, it is very hard to kill the bunny widow, because bunnies are hard to kill with only a paper in the first place. It is allergic to bread, pasta, cookies, and crackers like bunnies. It has good hearing. It's very sneaky, so finding one is actually very hard. However, once you find one, you will likely find more because they live in groups like bunnies. And I think, I made the cute bunnies cursed. Oh, rest in peace. At least this animal doesn't exist in real life.

My animal is called a koalaspider: a mix between a spider and a koala. A koalaspider is a creature that would look exactly like a koala, if it weren't for the fact that it has eight big arms and it spins sticky spiderwebs. It is about as big as a normal koala, which makes it extra terrifying. The good news is, it can't bite you. It lives in the treetops, in humid environments, and spins webs there to catch bugs and even birds. The web is strong and sticky, and very big. A koalaspider is unable to wrap humans up in its web, but humans can get stuck badly in it. It eats bugs most of the time, and sometimes it'll climb down to the ground and eat ground bugs. It is very lazy and sleeps 20 hours a day, and when it wakes up it goes straight to eating. They are not too friendly creatures and can be aggressive. The koalaspider can't bite, but it can hit you with its big, hairy arms, and that makes this animal dangerous. They often sleep in leaf nests or on tree branches. They are not a man-made creature, actually. A koala and a spider really did decide to mate themselves. They are not in many zoos, but there are a few out there with the bravery, curiosity, and exploration skills that manage to catch one. This animal is rarely found and is endangered. We can only hope that they don't completely die out, but who knows? They aren't very social animals, even with one another, but they do mate, to keep them going. Baby koalaspiders are very small, but they get big fast. They weigh around twenty pounds, but as a baby they only weigh five! Anyway, in my opinion, koalaspiders would be very interesting animals.
