The Skinwalker


It was a cold, fall night. I was playing on my Xbox, and my dad had left home for a meeting.

I looked out the window because I heard a weird sound, but what I saw made me so scared I ran upstairs into my room, shut the door, and called my dad.

I saw a weird-looking human thing crawling on all fours with its back bending into its stomach. And it was heading for the front door!

"AAAAAAH!" I screamed as I heard clawing coming from the door.

I risked a peek at the creature from the upstairs window, but what I saw wasn't what I expected. It was a normal wolf.

But then I turned around, and there it was. The creature.

I started to run, but I tripped on a book. It crawled onto me and my last thought was What would happen to my dad?

    The sweet smell of nectar fills the air,

    I swoop down to the flowers,

    I see buds on the trees,

    Maple Syrup


    Maple Syrup

    Sugary water,
    dripping,
    dripping,
    Slowly filling up the buckets,
    Maple boiling,
    Until at last,
    Sugar,
    Slow moving,
    delicious,
    dropping onto your pancakes,
