Running

                                                               Running


                                People always run
                                                                no telling why
                                                                maybe to get away
                                                                or to get there   
                                                                I wonder why
                                                                they leave their life behind
                                                                because they never were loved.

Dear diary,

Today,I was carrying a bundle of blankets down the basement stairs when suddenly I heard a sound coming from behind the walls of the basement.I quickly set the bundle down and ran up to get the box of Christmas lights.As I carried them down I saw a door that had NOT been there before.I heard the rattle of chains and a ghostly hand went through the door,I screamed for my father.Moments later he was in the basement looking at the door.He said that nobody would go down to the basement until he called the police.The police came and said that we should call a haunting investigator.They are coming tomorrow to investagate the door.
   
 Goodnight diary.

                      Weird Things Start Happening....          

It was a normal day at my house, just like normal you would see the Martin family out and about either riding bikes or playing catch,and that's what we did.We kids rode are bikes as ma was cooking the most delicious meal on earth,whatever that was.Today seemed perfectly normal,but it wasn't.This was the day everything would change.Today I became the chosen one.It all started when the crows started honking up a storm.All the folk in town didn't seem to notice,even my family was still off doing their little thing.Then cars started whizzing through town.Weird,I thought,just a second ago it was as quiet as the grave itself,now,in a couple of seconds Hills bury drive had practically a traffic jam.I knew that it was all a dream,but I knew it was dream.I sat down on the porch and tried to find out what in the name of tarnishes was going on.Then,out of the blue,the trees started talking about what was going on.They said that I was the "chosen one"well one of em'.Why was I the chosen one?And what did it mean?The trees soon answered,they said that I,and only I,could save the world.What  about the other kids I wondered,then I felt like I was stronger then I really was,The trees told me great forces were entering my body,and I had to keep it away from the world,and I had to use it to save the world on a deadline,too.But how?When?Why?There were to many questions for them to answer.They slowly became trees again,I couldn't think about that now,I had to save the world and faster than a road runner running from a coyote.
