Part 1: Reunion I was nine when I discovered the man in the well. I’m 24 now and still feel guilty. I was playing with my friends and found a man stuck inside of a well. I don’t know why I didn’t help. I decided it was time to make things right. I made a group call of all my childhood friends and told them to meet back at the well. Wendy was the first to arrive, then Arthur, Aaron, Grace, and Jason. They all had grown up but still had an evil little smirk on each of their faces. Robby was the only one who wasn’t here. He died of cancer when he was 19. “Guys, I think we have to make things right,” I said wearily. “Are you okay?” Wendy asked. Arthur nudged her as if to say, “Stop”. Wendy and Arthur were newlyweds, but Wendy looked unhappy as ever. “I’m going to call the police,” I sta

The Sixth Sense: Dogs and Their "Gut" Instinct (an Article)

By Madalyn P How many senses does a dog have? Well, if you are thinking 5, then you're wrong! Did you know that dogs have six senses? My article is about dogs' most important senses. Their most important senses are smell, hearing and gut instinct. These senses are so important to dogs because they are like superpowers. They use their sense of smell for smelling their owners from over 11 miles away, their hearing is for noticing when somebody is in trouble, and their gut instinct is for detecting if humans are sick or there is a natural disaster. Super Smell! A dog's sense of smell is the most prominent. A dog's smell is its most prominent sense, the one that is the most different from ours. It has been estimated that a dog's sense of smell is 100,000 times more powerful than a human's.

All About Corgis

by Sarah W All about Corgis You probably have seen the GIF of the little swimming Corgi, that’s what most people think of when it comes to Corgis. But Corgis are so much more! Their stubby little legs or puppy eyes will melt your heart! What Corgis Eat- You may think “They’re dogs they eat dog food.” Well here’s a plot twist, not only do they eat dog food, but most the time their owners feed them yogurt or cottage cheese. In fact, it’s good for them because it helps them become stronger. What Corgis Like to Do - Corgis are very easy to train and are very playful. People don’t expect this, but they’re originally herding dogs. Imagine a little Corgi herding up a bunch of goats or sheep. Corgis are really good with kids because they’re so gentle and loving. Just How Stubby Corgis Are- The most common type of Corgi, Pembroke Welsh Corgi, are 10-12 inches tall, and that’s fully grown. If you don’t know how tall that is, a Lab is 22-24 i

SaTuRdaY ScAr3s: a Creepy Short Story

By Alonna A Have you ever had a dream that came true? Well, let me tell you a story about a boy named Benjamin. Benjamin was a 14-year-old boy who always had these weird dreams. When he went to sleep, he had a weird dream, and when he woke up he started to notice everything in his dream was starting to happen in real life. He always thought it was just a coincidence... until one night. On this very night, Thursday, October 28th, he was getting ready for bed and drifted off to sleep like he did every night, but was tonight a good idea to sleep? While Benjamin was asleep, he felt a nudge, and he woke up. Surprised he was in a room where he couldn't see a thing, he crawled around the floor trying to find out where he was. Eventually, he found a flashlight and turned it on. He found a door and opened it. That's when he found out he wasn't in his own house. He crept forward, trying not to make a sound. Suddenly, he heard the nursery rhyme. “Mary had a little lamb,” he said
