THE MYSTERIOUS LAND
(A AND B COMBINED)
I see a girl and her name is Heather. She is an alien that is red and yellow. Then somehow she left her painting and ended up in painting B. Then she started to look around and she was confused because everything was just so colorful. She started to climb all the walls. After Heather saw a pair of steps. The colors were white, green and baby blue. When she got up she started to scream. Heather was screaming because she saw a huge giraffe with big black eyes. Those eyes were staring straight at Heather. Then all of a sudden the giraffe started chasing her and Heather ran straight back to painting A and went straight back to were she started.
MORGAN YOUNG
THE SCRAPING
(B)
One day I asked my mom if I could go out, she said yes. There was really nothing exciting going on in our town so I decided to go out of town to find something…I mean it's not like my mom would ever notice. As I was going, I found these weird objects I had to cross to get where I wanted to go. The textures even felt weird, kind of scraped.
When I finally got there it was like I was in a totally different world. The ground was hard, the stairs were curled and I think I even saw a building with a flag of an eyeball. The bridges were half normal half rectangle. This place was weird enough to be the most exciting place ever, and I made a plan to come here every day after school.
Then one day, all the things were gone. I decided to look around to see if they moved the things. Later I found out that the things I saw were creatures, interesting and unique creatures. They had a group name called The Scraping. Finally I had something new and exciting in my life. This truly was the best thing that's ever happened to me.

Charlotte, Jack, Lisa hurry said Kerri. Run to that studio over their! Hurry said Kerri! When they got inside they were shocked! They had just been here the day before and saw a beautiful art exhibit. Now everything is all black and bloody! Sit down said Kerri. Keep on the lookout for the Robot Destroyer said Lisa.
The robot had a weird shape. It was red, orange, black, blue and green. Shhhhh!!! said Jack! I heard a door creak! CREEEAAAKKK. I heard it again said Charlotte! Finally a shady figure floated in the air and came back down and it turned out to be the Robot Destroyer. Shh! said Kerri. If we stay quite maybe he won't hear us. They hid under the table staying put. The robot walked around for a while. Then he said in his dark deep creepy voice, come out, come out, where ever you are. Then he took his robot hand and lifted up the table the kids were under. I found you. Run!!! said Lisa! Don't have to tell me twice, said Charlotte. The robot chased them down the block to the corner store. Mrs. Waggs we need your help! What is it children? The Robot Destroyer came back from Mars explained Lisa. He's here to haunt us. Mrs. Waggs said, he's back again? Yes! said Kerri. Don't you watch the news? He's right here! Run! The robot chased us until Jack brought it to a stop. He said push the robot onto the street so it could get hit by many cars' Lisa said, so it will no longer be the Robot Destroyer…It will be the Destroyed Robot! I like that idea said Kerri. They hid so the robot could get in front of them….One, Two, Three Jack said, Heave! Ho! Heave! Ho! The robot kept his feet on the ground, trying not to budge. Hey! Jack said, random guy on the street come help us push the robot into the street! He helped and it worked. The robot got hit by the cars and it is no longer the Robot Destroyer. It is the Destroyed Robot!

EGYPTERANG

One day their was an Egyptian and he said, "I wish there was a way to throw something and have it come back to you like a frisbee but a different shape, maybe it could be called a boomerang." It would be shaped like a triangle but he made it a little wrong. One half was right but the other half was like a square. In the painting I see an Egyptian holding a half boomerang and half brick.
