The Haunted House

After a chilly October day in school, me and my dog Midnight were walking home. It was a regular day in school, from playing handball with my friends to almost falling into a coma in Mr. Bore's science class. Little did I know about the adventure that was soon too come. Midnight loves too play fetch so I gave the ball a big toss; it rolled into a Haunted house where no one had lived since the 1700s. Midnight chased the ball inside the house and I uneasily followed him. " Midnight, Midnight, where are you." I called while pushing the door open with a loud CREAK! As soon as I opened the door I fell through a long trapdoor. When I got to the end of the trapdoor a war ghost blocked my path." I am hungry for blood." it moaned as it slowly drifted toward me. I quickly picked up a rusty,old sword that I found in a dark corner. It turned swords worked on war ghosts because when I jabbed at him he vaporized in a flash. I looked at my sword. It had transformed into a lightning bolt. Wow, I thought, why would I need a lightning bolt? Pretty soon, I found out. An army of zombie-chickens started attacking me. It turned out that when you zapped them they turned into chicken wings. After I electrified all the zombie-chickens I ate some chicken wings. Mmm, I thought, these chicken wings are really good. Then I remembered the purpose of why I was here. To get Midnight back, not eat chicken wings. Plus, I remembered that these were one-hundred percent pure zombie-chickens and suddenly they didn't seem so appetizing anymore. I raced down the cobwebbed stairs and  came to a gigantic room. I skidded to a halt and hid behind a dusty rock. Why a rock was there, I don't know. In front of me the most enormous mummy ever was about to cook Midnight for dinner. Conveniently, I knew a trick with mummies. I quietly tiptoed toward him and pulled one of his loose bandages. All of his bandages began to unravel, tripping him while I found a nearby sarcophagus and trapped him in there. Then I took Midnight up the ladder and tore like heck for home. That was some scary experience. It's a coincidence that today is Halloween. 

Space Adventure

Yes! Yes! Yes! My heart leaped with joy! I was chosen to explore the planet Neptune way up in space. I was going to go up in space tomorrow so I slept very early. When I woke up my phone was ringing madly so I said," Who's calling me?" The reply was," Your space shuttle leaves in two hours." Two hours! I brushed my teeth, ate a hasty breakfast, and got in the car. Once I got to the space station, I changed into my space suit and ran into the space shuttle, ignoring all the reporters who were crowded around me. As I got comfy, Mission Control said," 3...2...1...BLAST OFF!" I set my course for Neptune and in a couple of days I was there. As I touched down on Neptune, a small, green figure greeted me. Surprisingly, he spoke English! He said,"Welcome to Neptune. My name is V-30 and I will be your host on Neptune." I told Mission Control about the alien and showed them some rock samples. They told me to leave in 2 days. I made friends with the alien by giving him a poker chip. He returned the favor by letting me stay in his luxury mansion and cooking me whatever I liked ( I bet he could show those MasterChef guys a thing or two). When it was time to leave V-30 accompanied me to my space shuttle but then out of the blue( or should I say black) this happened. A gigantic screen called out ," BWAHAHAHAHA!" I am the alien Destroyer and I have put you in my Course of Craziness and you have 6 hours to get through it otherwise your space shuttle will crumple and you will be marooned on Neptune forever! HAHAHAHAHA!" My heart was pounding like crazy. V-30 said," I know Neptune. I will help you." The first obstacle were "The Scary Spikes". These spikes poked out of Neptune and were metal. V-30 pulled out some metal bottle caps and clogged up the spikes in ten minutes. The next obstacle were the Evil Enemies. We defeated them by blinding them with a flashlight, but there were so many of them it took an hour to defeat them. Next the Creepy Clowns tried to hypnotize us by telling corny jokes. We defeated them by gagging them with handkerchiefs and pushing them into pits. 2 hours were up but we were facing our biggest challenge yet, the Dancing Dinosaurs. The dinosaurs went for for miles, there feet thumping the ground. It was like dodging rapidly shot fireballs. With two minutes left, we were down to the last group of waltzers. They were huge, weighing at least 30 tons each, but I managed to get into the spaceship with thirty seconds to spare. I called Mission Control and then I went back to Earth. Being on Neptune is fun, but it sure has a lot of challenges. I almost got wiped out by Destroyer and his minions. Thank god I got home safe and sound.
