Out of my slump
Another swing and miss! I gotta hit this one over… swish. Nothing. No hits for the last about 7 or 8 at-bats. You’re probably thinking, “Ouch - no hits for seven at bats in a row.” Yep, ouch.
It was about 4 months ago that I didn’t make contact with the ball at all. When you don’t make contact with the ball for a while you are in a slump. I had been riding in...

My dad said the doctor we were meeting was doctor Faran. The nurse came in and...
Stiches!
The accident happened on Friday, May 14. I was eating breakfast while sitting on a 3ft wooden bar stool when my brother randomly laid his head down on my lap. I grabbed him by the neck and pulled him up. He got really ticked off and pulled my shirt. The bar stool tipped and I fell, trying to brace myself while falling. I struggled to get up with a puddle of blood encircling me. I felt a very, very...
Uninvited Guests
His heart was pounding. He was sure he had seen the doorknob turn.
“Mom?” Jack asked. All he heard was footsteps coming down the hall. Jack skidded quietly to his room upstairs. Jack was frozen solid in terror. He scrambled for his pocket knife. Just then he heard banging on his bedroom door. He thought, “How could I be so stupid to not lock the door?”
He heard one man...

So Jake took his brother’s place as a scientist and went to Pandora to work with the Navi and communicate...
