"Oh gosh, they're back.."

"Oh gosh, they're back! Everyone quick, go out the back door and go to Melanie's house." I yelled frantically to my friends as my parents pulled into the driveway earlier than expected. I invited a group of friends over to play board games while my parents went to a concert. The one thing my mom had told me not to do while she was gone was to have people over. or I would be grounded. As everyone piled out the back door I rushed around trying to pick up the games scattered across my living room floor.
"Honey, we're home!"
There were still games everywhere, there is no way I am getting away with this one, but I was certainly going to try anyway.
"Why do you have Scrabble, Sorry, Clue, Monopoly, and a deck of cards out and all opened, you know you can only play one game at a time and usually you need more than just one person." My mom had a concerned look on her face and her arms folded.

Running Mindet

I don't want to run

It's good for you

It's cold outside

You have pants

I ran yesterday

Today’s a short run

My shoulder hurts

And that’ll affect your running how?

I'm tired

Running will wake you up

I'm hungry

Then eat something

That will make me sick

Then don't eat anything!

It's too early

It's light out

Uggg! You’re such a pain!

I am you.

The Runaway

The night was dark, the sky was cluttered with clouds. Every now and then the moon would pop out from behind the clouds. This was the night, the night we will escape.I have been anticipating this moment for while now. We have planed for weeks. The guards came buy to give us our food. A cup of water and some bread. as they oppenend the door and she sliped out the gates and began to run.I dont know her name. Neither does she. She sayes that she has been in her for a while. She made it to the fence and began to climb. At that moment I looked over to the side and saw them near the "safe house". I didn't know what to do. I yelled "Stop they're gonna electricute you." Thenshe fell to the ground with a thud. I knew what I had to do.

Philadephia Chase

I had slipped under the gate and ran out of a bush to find a small port. I disided to find out my surroundings because i never been here before. i was locked up in a house to work for six years but that doesn't matter now. I just have to excaped the gaurds. I explore the town and find a market. My stumach had grould time to find some food. I find a food cart and I must find a way to steal the food but first I have to try asking. I asked the worker but he said no so I grabbed a hand full of grapes. Im now running again from both gaurds and and the angry worker. So I desided to run into the forest near by. The gaurds started to search the forest and they found me. I ran back into a town and turned a corner. Someone has yanked me into there hause they said its ok now I wont let them get you.

Young Writers Project Is My World

I have no words for Young Writers Project. It is a world where I can completely let go. It is place where every idea is perfect, and every story is amazing. It is a community where our words weave us together, into a fabric nobody can tear. It's a world where our diversities make us the same. It's not just a place where you can write and read great stories, it's a place where you can be accepted.

It's a world - full of countless writers that find themselves within these very words. It's a world where magic is as real as your hand printed in the dust. It's a world safe from the harsh words around us. It's a world where I can express my ideas without ridicule. It's a world where I can be free from the chains of Society. It's a world where I can.

Why I Like Young Writers Project

Young Writers Project--or YWP--is an amazing place. If you are a writer, painter, or any other kind of creative entrepeneur, this place is a wonderful outlet. In a world where children like me don't have much of a voice or a say in anything, it is so amazing that we can actually state our opinions, be heard, and even published! It gives us a segway into becoming more serious with our writing and it gives us motivation. And not only that, but we have a supportive community where people will actually remark and comment back on your work with feedback that helps.
