The train pulled into the station on a dark and stormy night. I pulled my overcoat up around my neck as I stepped out, shielding my fae from the rain. As I stepped inside the station sheer panic overtook me... I looked outside and the sky was completely black. I needed to get to my sister's house. The train station was the size of a gas station. And there was nobody there. I was alone in a huge storm. It was nighttime in the desert. What should I do? Then a strange sound came up. It was the tornado sirens. I couldn't stay in this unsturdy thing of a train station. So instead I dashed outside.
It was the worst feeling I had ever felt. The wind whipped my dark black hair. Nighttime reflected in my sky blue eyes. Then the twister took a sudden turn my way. I am so unlucky. I mean a tornado in the middle of nowhere. Welcome to my world. The train driver had left to town. The passengers had scattered and were nowhere in sight. So I took a chance and jumped into an empty boxcar. It sounded like a high speed train was screeching at full speed next to me. The tornado swept up the train, including the boxcar I was in. Luckily, the boxcar took a small flight to only 100 feet away. And even better, the tornado turned away! It was also wearing out! I climbed out of the boxcar unharmed. The twister was nowhere in sight. I found the train station, which I knew is now just a pile of metal and wood. So I turned in the direction of my sister's house and found my way and got home safely. I never thought of a moment scarier. Yet I survived. I survived.

The train pulled into the station on a dark and stormy night. I pulled my over my coat up around my neck as I stepped out shelding my face from the rain. As I stepped into the station sheer panic overtook me... I look and see a guy with with a gun. I see every body on the floor putting thier hands in front of them. I try calling the police but I forgot my phone on the train. "Wait" I whisper afraid to use my normal voice because of the person with the gun. I walk quikley go outside but I was to the train already left. When I turned back with a frightened reaction.
He is right behind me. The gun is pointing right on my forehead.
"Get in side", he said with a scary and mad voice. I ran inside with a shivery reaction. I dropped on the floor face down. Then I flashing red and blue lights. The police rushed in and arrested him. Another cop came in to see if anybody was hurt but everybody was fine.
Sincerely,

The train pulled into the station on a dark and stormy night.I pulled my overcoat up around my neck as I stepped out sheilding my face from the rain.As I stepped into the station sheer panic over took me...The tornado sirens were blazing.I got a hotel room at the station,when I got to my room I turned the TV on and saw it.I was right,there was torndo so I ran outside to see the extreme action in Oklahoma City.The wind whipped my hair every other way.I was so nervous to see the tornado I went right back inside to grt to safety.The tornado came whipping my way and know I was nervous.I think everyone would be nervous when a F3 tornado coming at them.Thank goodness there was an underground shelter.The tornado sounded like a whistle in the trees in South Dakota but LOUD.Finally I heard someone yell "It's over"!When I went back up I was glad I was in shelter because my hometown Oklahoma City just got destroyed by a tornado.I survived."I survived".

The train pulled into the station on a dark and stormy night. I pulled my overcoat up around my neck as I stepped out, shielding my face from the rain. As I stepped into the station sheer panic overtook me as a huge fight rushed right past me.
“Did I just see my very first fight in Albany, New York”, I said to my self with excitement “AWSOME”, I said under my breath. I went to sit and wait for my cousin Arianna to come. One hour went by and I fell fast asleep. After a thirty minute nap Arianna came she walked up to where I was sleeping she taped me on the shoulder and said “ Courtniey wake up let’s go”. Now Arianna said this in a very convincing and calm voice. Ok, ok , ok I should have just woke up and went but I was in New York and who knows it cold have been anyone so I wanted to get up and slap her, but instead I got up and said “ WHO ARE YOU WHAT ARE YOU DOING I CAN’T BELIVE YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO COME UP TO ME RADIMLY LIKE SO RANDOM THE T.V SHOW NOW –“, I paused and saw that it was Arianna and noticed everyone in the train station was stopped dead in there tracks and was staring at me, I had just made a fool of myself and I haven’t even been there for ONE DAY.
The next day I was on the news, I noticed this when I was eating breakfast and watching T.V. So ADMETEATLY I changed the channel to SO RANDOM. “Courtniey your 15 years old and your watching SO RANDOM”, Arianna said while pouring orange juice (100% orange juice). “ Whatever your 26 years old and know what it’s called, and the only reason I watch this is because Brandon Michel Smith is so tute (cute)”. I said loud enough so Arianna could hear me over the T.V. “ I know what it’s called because you yelled it last night do I need to change it to the news, or did you already get it because I am more than happy to if needed”. Arianna said very sarcastically . After two hours we went to the mall to try to get me used to the place I felt so embarrassed every single person would ask me if I was the person on the news . I was like are you serious like come on get a life don’t worry about me who do you think you are. Now how dramatic I am I was going to say that out loud but like I said I’ve already made a fool of myself. I don’t know weather to stay or leave what should I do .” Courtniey let’s go your mom will be calling soon. By: Ragan Bowers

The train pulled into the station on a dark and stormy night.I pulled my over coat up around my neckas i steped out,sheilding my face from the rain.As i stepped into the station sher panic overtook me...As I looked closer into the station everyboby was on the foor,knocked out by a lightning strike,eyes open,all twithcing from the pain.The clerk was still at the counter but all that was left was her bones."What happend here",I whisperd to myself.The TV was on a power shotage but was flashing on and off."Thunder...everyware...USA...is ...biggest...ever,"said the weather man on the TV"What",I whispered to myself again.Soon I realized that every time the TV flashed it skipped a wordand really said"Thunder is everywere in USA it is the biggest sorm ever"."It struck everywere at the same time,wow",I said.
A light wized by the window, blinding my eyes temporaely.It was light blue,just like an alein spachip would have.i went outsideto investigate, Knowing if hoever out there heard me,I would die.My hand shook as I openend the door. I walk outside to see a spachip only about 5 feet off the ground.I decide i should climb aboard.Since I'm the only one alive in the USA what do I have to lose, Ithought.

The train pulled into the station an a dark and stormy night. I pulled my overcoat up around my neck as I stepped out, shielding my face from the rain. As I stepped inside the staion sheer panic overtook me... it was him. The boy who had been following me my whole journey. He stared at me and I stared right back at him. (you know that awkward silence when you look at a person but you don't know what to say, well this is one of those times).
"Line!" Mat yells to the director which is no one.
"Mat first of all there is no director. Second of all it was my turn to say something. Last my camera is almost out of juice and if you yell to much my mom will hear you and trust me, you do not want that." I tell him. I sware sometimes he never listens. So we get onto the next scence when Mat yells "line" again. Thats when my worst nightmare happened.
"Hey everybody, I heard someone yell line and I can help you learn them. Did you know that..." my mom said as she came downstairs. Yes, you have now met my mom.
"Mom we don't need help with our play. The lines are very simple. So if you could go back upstairs that would be great". I say not meaning it to come out snobby but I didn't make sure it came out in the most kind and genorous way as possible. Sadly that didn't work and my mom stayed with us to help us learn our play better. When we finally got done (when my battery ran out) it was horrible. Partly because it was a "rough copy" and partly because my mom was in most of it. I now know that movies, films, videos do not, I repet do not go with my mom at all!

The train pulled into the station on a dark and stormy night. I pulled my overcoat up around my neck as I stepped out, shielding my face from the rain. As I stepped into the station, sheer panic overtook me.
Wait…rewind. Sorry. Let me fill you in. It’s 1945. I’m in Holland. World War II is in full swing. Mine, like most families, are separated or dead. Sorry to tell you, but most of my family is either in hiding, in the camps, or dead. My Mom and Dad, Aunts and Uncles are in the camps. My Gram and Gramps are dead. My brother, sister and I were separated when we went into hiding for a year. We’re Jews. I’m on my own, and I didn’t like what I saw. I saw a camp in the distance – a semi-town. I saw soldiers marching in the distance. I was going to a family that lived on 10th street, the 3rd house on the right. I had to get there quickly. I was already soaked from the storm. Night had fallen, and I didn’t know if I could find my way in the dark. I started to run. That was the wrong idea. Never run away from a soldier.
One soldier saw me running and started to run after me. I was two houses away when he caught up to me. I had to stop. “Little girl, where are you going?” he said. I said, “I’m going to the Parker’s, sir.” He said, “What’s your name?” My name is Mia, but I said, “My name is Lucy Parker. I’m a cousin of the Parker’s sir.” Will he let me go, or capture me and put me in the camps?

"Would you want Fried Dragon"."Eww no". "Do you want"... "No I don't want any thing"! I rudley innterupted. "How do I get home"? I asked."Just wake up!" oh. I said.

laolyeen-I was flying through the air when the wind took me.I was screaming and hoping that it would stop.I got up and was thinking how I got here and why.When I was thinking I saw a little puppy.It was white it was so smart that it took me back home.
The train pulled in the station on a stormy night.I pulled my overcoat up around my neck as I stepped out shielding my face from the rain. As I stepped inside the station sheer panic overtook me...I saw a group of rats running at me and I was running and I turned around and I didn't see the rats anymore. Ad I was walking I started hearing growling noises. Then I turned around and saw zombies. They started chasing me until I saw an open room. I ran inside and locked the door but then it started shaking and I got scared.
I saw a secret door so I went through it. It was a room full of video games, drinks, food, and a tv by a pool. I locked the door and started playing games. I felt I was safe so much that I missed my dog. I turned on the tv and I saw on the news that it's a zombie world. I got hungry and I looked in the fridge and saw ice cream so I started eating it. When I got finished eating I fell asleep. When I woke up it was 10:00 in the morning and I woke up to my mom's voice saying "time for breakfast".
I guess the whole thing was a dream.

The train pulled into the station on a dark and stormy night. I pulled my overcoat up around my neck as I stepped out, shielding my face from the rain. As I stepped into the station sheer panic overtook me. The station was being robbed. I didn't want the robbers to see me so I hid under a bench. There was a newspaper lying on the ground. I covered up with it. Someone was hijacking the train while someone else was asking, rather demanding people to empty their wallets. I didn't know what to do. I only had $20 in my pocket and I needed that to buy my next train ticket. To make matters even worse, the storm was really picking up.
The wind started making a whistling sound between the cars and people were screaming in terror. I continued hiding and didn't make a sound. Suddenly the criminals got scared when they saw a passenger's dog. It looked just like a brown bear. The dog started barking viciously and showing his large teeth. The criminals tried running away, but they fell over the bench that I was hiding under. I crawled out from under the bench and told them to freeze. Just then the cops showed up and thanked me for catching the crooks. They returned all of the passenger's cash. The storm let up and the train station was back in business. Finally I was able to get on my train and head to Alaska.

I was at my house eating breakfast then I had to go to school it was HORRIBLE.That was my third row of horrible days all because I had detention. The next day was Saturday my favorate not because it was a weekend because I had a chance to go to the circus. Well I thought it would be fun I saw the biggest ride ever I was forced to ride it. It was scary I barfed after that. Now I refuse to go to the circus even if theres something I want. I noticed I needed my rain coat because we were going on a train all the way to the station. Well that brings us to today I heard noises my mom told me I was just hearing thing well she was about to but I stopped her from saying anything. Well we have three days until the next train I don't want to go back because its like paradise here.

Joseph-The train pulled into the station on a dark and stormy night.I pulled my overcoat up around my neck as I stepped out,sheilding my face from the rain.As I stepped into the station sheer panic overtook me...Lizards.But not just any lizards,invisible lizards.Wait,I could see them?Im confused.Oh yes,Im dreaming.I pinched myself,didn't work.I tried again harder,still didn't work.Okay so that did not work so I started banging my head against the wall that didn't work either.I sat down and started sucking my thumb.Then I was cast into realization,I sat up in my bed noticing that now there are lizards all over my room!Okay so maybe that was a dream within a dream.But what I still don't know why I woke up by sucking my thumb but not by banging my head against the wall.Well,anyway its over.The first one atleast,I still don't know how Im going to get out of this dream!
the train pulled into the station on a dark and stormy night. I pulled my overcoat up around my neck as I stepped out, shielding my face from the rain. As I stepped inside the station sheer panic overtook me...I went out the front door and I waited until I saw a taxi and I said, "Taxi, taxi." When I got in I said "Take me to the airport." When we got to the airport I got a ticket to go to Chicago. When I got on the plane I sat down and I fell asleep. When I woke up I saw the top of a tornado. We started going faster and the pilot said, "Please stay in your seats for the next 20 minutes. Thank you." When I got to Chicago I thought that I had been spinning for 30 minutes. When I saw my mom I ran towards her and gave her a hug. We went to a dinner. We had a great time.

The train pulled into the station on dark and stormy night. I pulled my overcoat up around my neck as I stepped out, sheer panic overtook me. when my jacket got stuck on the train,the train was going. When the train took off,it dragged me on the track. When it got on a thin track crossing through the water,it had stopped in the middle of the water.When the train stopped,it started to rock back and forth. When it was rocking back and forth,the train started to break down. I tried to get off,but when I was trying to get off,I slipped.
Then when I was falling,I was haif way to the water,but I had to put my hand out and tried to grag something. I grabed the track and started to climb over before the track fell over in the water. When I got to the end of the track,I tried to push myself up, but when I tried I wanted to drop. I started to scream, "HELP!HELP!" ,. I started to scream so louly, my brother had to help me. he thought I was going to get run over. At the end of my adventure, I had to get save.telesa
