“That's the most insane legendary Pokemon card I have ever seen!” said my friend Riley K.
“I agree,” I said. “How much does it cost?” I gaped, “This must be a fluke,” I said.
Riley K. was stunned. “Only twenty-five cents! Wow!”
On our way back we had two legends in each hand. The clouds started to get dark. I flinched as raindrop fell right in front of my face. “Why now?” Riley K. muttered. Luckily, we made it home before it pored. We headed up to my room.
I heard my older sister, Annabelle, go downstairs. I heard the words …”Riley”… and …”Without permission”.
Then my mom yelled, “Jacob! Always ask me before you bring Riley K.!”
“Sorry Mom!” I yelled. When my sister came upstairs, I glared at her. I closed the door but still heard her snickering, But I didn't care, I was just happy that I had some legendary Pokemon cards.

I remembered fourteen days ago. I had just woken up. I was listening to the sizzle of my bacon on the grill. I took my morning stroll. When I got back, I enjoyed some coffee and my bacon. I saw four planes fly above me. Something fell out of one of the planes. I knew this was not normal. There was something particular and strange about this. My house was blown up by a bomb planted by a terrorist. That's what caused World War lll. The remains were not sparkling. It was May 24th, 2389. I was twenty-seven, and my name was Max. I was not going to surrender. About every four days, the planes came in clusters. The only remains of my house was my diamond and my brand new sweatshirt. (Don't ask me how a sweatshirt survived!) Anyways, they aren't going to win! They want us as slaves, but this war isn't over yet, and I don’t think it will be soon…
World War lll
“GET DOWN!!!” I yelled in a stern voice. A terrorist had found a huge machine gun. They were shooting like forty bullets per second. There was a three foot tall stone wall that we all ducked under. I craned my neck to see through a small hole in the wall. I cringed! So many of my friends and people were lying limp on the ground. I almost cried. Then I was filled with fury. I stood up and shot every one of the terrorists that I could. I didn't really like killing people so I averted my eyes from looking at what I was doing. Luckily, I didn't kill anyone from our side. World War lll was still going on. So far we were winning, but that still didn't stop my mind from trying to make me blame them for the war and try to bring peace. No, I'm not accusing anyone. I knew that I could be dead in four seconds! I wanted to have an interrogation with them to ask why they started this. But no, that wouldn't work. I told myself solemnly, “Calm down, you have this.” Then something flooded my mind: They are NOT going to lose this...

Evil Spirit Cast Out by Jacob Nault
Yesterday, at Capernaum, a freaky event happened. At the synagogue a demon entered a man. While Jesus was talking to the people amazing everyone, a man stood up and said, “I know who You are!” Jesus said, “Be quiet. Get Out!” The demon came out instantly. This event was not expected on this ordinary day. Everyone was astonished by the preacher.
Now the battle was on. It was starting to become fun because we were actually in and part of a video game. I put the virtual reality glasses on. The strap was taut on my head. It was not loose. This was no ordinary videogame. This was virtual reality! I used my lazer gun and zapped some of my opponents. I was in an oasis. I was reluctant to get off. Right at this moment I am in Minecraft so everything was blocky, but I was having fun. I used bedrock to build a quick wall and hid behind it. I now needed time to reload. I untangled my lazer gun’s wires. I heard about zombies that lurked in Minecraft. The wolves’ howls resounded at nighttime. Then six big camouflage trucks pulled up. I got in one. They drove to the main lobby, and I got off. We were no longer in Minecraft, There were a lot of curves. I was in a giant tube. I was inspecting the wall when I had to use my giant laser gun. I saw people fall face first to the ground with no gruesome stuff. I used my cylindrical tool on the ground which caused my rumpled car to appear. I drove it on the race track and used the lasers on my car. I had a sudden surge of relief, we are going to win this! Well, I'm pretty sure we will.
11-12-18 Interview in Nain Jacob Nault
I was very sick. My last memory I recall was sitting in my bed with my mother by my side. My mother was weeping. All of a sudden I felt very tired. I laid down and closed my eyes. All the noise around me got quieter. I knew that was it. Everything was black. Suddenly everything stopped working in me. The next thing I remember is that I woke up lying on a stretcher, staring at a man's face. Everyone around me seemed surprised. I started to talk to them. The man led me to my mother. She ran up to me with happiness on her face and hugged me. Then I realized that man was Jesus! He had just perfromed a miracle! I was very happy to be alive again.

I was still alive (even after a terrible fire)! My house was still smoldering a bit though. The firemen said it was not safe to sort through items that were not burnt. This was treacherous. I walked out of my house. The further I got the more discouraged I felt. Two men started to scoff at me. How rude they were to me! This was drudgery listening to their comments. Then they began to plunge and charge toward me. They began to talk to me in a skeptical way. They were taunting me by saying that I would never have a house to live in again. This horrible fire altered my whole world. Then I heard them stop talking. I turned around. They were gone. I called out for someone. Nobody answered. I was alone.

I was trembling. I was terrified that everything was gone! Occasionally a peculiar noise could be heard. It sounded like a bell ringing. It rang again. I dashed towards where the sound was originating. When I found the source of the noise, it was created by a terrorist. He looked drab and was timid. He was very fascinated with the bell that he was ringing.Then the world altered again, and I was back. There were people all around me. In fact there were a lot of people. I ran inside the terrorist's house where I met a woman . She was a hermit. She appeared to be all by herself and liked it that way. She just stared at me. She must not have liked having company. Then something unexplainable happened.

I had to participate in the Vietnam War when I was drafted into the US Army. I was sure some of my ancestors had been here before in the late 60s. I thought for a minute. If anyone saw me, I could mess up the future. I could cease to exist! I do have a plan. It was not very brilliant , but it had to work so I ran for it. The other veterans were not graceful. They yelled at me as if I had a mischievous plan. There was no way I could escape, even with a exotic plan. Then I heard gunfire...

As a relentless storm was shooting raindrops at the ground, I walked into Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria. There I saw all the animatronics powered off on the stage in the vast party room. The animatronics stature, size, and presence didn't frighten anyone. Kids may even have inadvertently spilled their drinks on them, but they didn’t care. The manager had created many wonderful inventions to entertain and amuse his customers. The animatronics were quite resourceful too while performing. They were quite amusing!
A less than bountiful, small group of security night guards did not provide a safe place when the pizzeria was closed. Strange this would when the place was supposed to be vacant and quiet for the night. I sat down to fall asleep, but a loud noise in the heating vents roused me from my sleep. . .

Last Tuesday I found a… ummmmm “thing”. (He looked like a mix of a shark and a dog.) He was called Max who always insisted for food and gloated about his strength and power. At my younger sister Melissa's birthday he turned a toy lightsaber into a REAL lightsaber! (I have to say It was magnificent) Malissa started running around the yard with a flaming, hot lightsaber cutting gardening tools in half. Suddenly her best friend’s pigtails were lying on the ground, but she didn't care. She anxiously yelled for even more destruction. Then Max asked, “Isn't the smell of burnt hair and treebark great?”
“WHAT!! TREE BARK!!!” I became distressed when I saw her confidently cutting down a tree.
“I’m doing it!” she declared. I was running towards her when I heard the noise of wood breaking in half.

To make a long story short, the tree fell on the house. To save themselves everyone ran out of the house. With all the confusion everywhere Max almost went inside the house to snatch some food, but he got frightened and he ran away. I found him on top of a hill watching cows pridefully grazing in the pasture. He looked at them as if he were going to select a certain one as a pet. He intended to try and eat it, but I told him that cows consist of meat, but aren't fully made of meat. We both just sat there for a while watching the cows. Then he recalled the first time we met.

I was In a foggy, strange swamp, and I didn’t see anyone I knew. Then I heard someone yell, “Help!” I looked around and saw a shadow. I ran toward it. It was Riley. He was fidgeting with his phone trying to call 9-1-1.
He immediately saw me and pathetically yelled again. I replied, “It’s o,k Riley. It's just me.” I asked him if I could use his phone to call my mother but he was stingy and yanked the phone out of my reach. He decided not to be noble. I was resolved to find a way out of this swamp. The closest living thing nearby were a couple of rats scrounging around on the ground. They looked sad, discouraged, and forlorn. Then I heard a ear piercing scream. I turned around, and Riley was gone.

I ran towards the yell. I saw Riley being choked by a remarkable snake. The snake had an advantage because of its massive arms. I managed to extract Riley from the snake’s hand. The snake looked suitable for any weather. It could probably even withstand a hurricane. Riley was being stealthy. He was difficult to be found. Suddenly the monster grabbed us both and pulled us into its nest.

If there is one eerie thing I know about, it is the Demogorgon. (Demo-Gor-Gon) I had a mission to build a contraption that can travel time. If you try what I did, you will come across many obstacles when trying to build this machine. One of these difficulties may be your dog roaming around between the various, dangerous parts of this time traveling machine.
When I finally completed the time machine, it was massive. For me, it is always quite elegant to look at a finished project. It had many complicated parts. I used my machine and came out submerged in a strange, slimy substance. I crawled through it and saw something I wish I never saw. . .

I was in a house, a house that wasn't mine. I was in a room that looked very ancient. The walls glistened as if they were dripping wet. When I peeked out the door, I saw two fat penguins standing at the front door as if they were sentries. I walked toward them and saw that a leaking pipe was eroding away a part of the floor.
I could hear in the distance the sound of water running. In searching through the rooms of the house, I saw a sink embedded in slime. Someone had turned the water on and left the tap running. The water was cascading into the slime covered bowl. Then a penguin ran at me. I was so very weary. I surrendered!

I woke up. I found myself in a colossal box with glass on top. I stood up. I saw a red glowing light. I wasn't sure if it was an illusion or not. There was not fanciful anywhere. Everything was just ordinary: box, red light, glass, the room...just ordinary.
The box suddenly stopped. The ceiling was a trap door. It opened, and boys were all around me. One said, “Welcome to the glade.” I cordially said thanks and got out of the box. The glade was both very scenic and behemoth. Its beautiful huge walls went all around it. The food was pretty hearty. No one went away hungry. A boy came up to me and said,”Our only rule is: Don’t go in the maze, past those walls.”
