The Journalist Part I

The night was dark and cold as Frederick Burgough walked down the dark and stony streets of Pulkock Town. A faraway church steeple announced the dark hour of four o’clock in the morning. As Frederick approached the corner of Muldeick Street he was stopped by the sound of approaching steps. With precise swiftness he hid behind a mailbox. A shadow stopped inches away from him. “Fred?” A shaky voice asked. Frederick slowly showed himself and gave a sigh of relief. “Thank Heaven it’s you Smith.” He said. “Who were you expecting?” The lad asked looking around suspiciously. “I best not tell you. Now quick, on with the message.” Frederick said turning around making sure nobody was around. He turned to Smith and nodded. Slowly the young man pulled a sheet of paper that glowed in the moonlight. Burgough snatched it and read it with a grunt. Taking a match out of his pocket he burnt it and let the ashes fly in the night breeze. “That bad?” Smith asked. “As I said

Müller’s Mystery

Müller’s Mystery Part III The wind was howling through the trees as Jack and Lindsey walked through the dark forest. “Do you even know where you’re going?” Lindsey asked. “Of course I do. Remember the Old Lady who lives in the small hut at the end of our property? Well, she is the oldest person around here, I bet we can get out information out of her.” “But how do you even know her?” Lindsey asked. “Well, when our parents died there was a lot of time to explore around here. You were just a baby. I guess I was lonely. Anyway, I once found her hut and she became my friend. I call her Aunt Sally.” “How come you never visit her any more?” “Well, one day Uncle Theodore caught me walking towards her house, and he forbid me to go there again.” “Sneaky.” Lindsey whispered. “Yeah, that’s why I think Aunt Sally might now something about this will business.” After a long and silent trek through the thick shrubbery and noisy leaves, Jack and Lindsey final

Müller’s Mystery

Müller’s Mystery Part II The night was dark and cold as the wind rustled outside the windows. Jack had a feeling this was a bad idea. How did Lindsey ever succeed in making him do this kind of stuff? Her plan was to sneak the will out of the parlor and compare the writing with Great Grandfather’s writing. Then she would be able to prove that someone had swapped the will. Jack had been waiting in the dark hallway for hours it seemed. Grandfather was still in the parlor. He could hear him pace around the carpet. It was pointless. Jack was tired. If he stood there another minute he would fall asleep and get caught in the morning. Feeling miserable he was about to turn away when heard steps behind him. He froze in place. The steps where heading down into the basement. Quickly he followed soundlessly. A door squeaked ever so softly. As Jack reached the head of the stairway he saw a shadow creeping along the steps. Suddenly the shadow pulled out a Key and opened the door to Gran

Müller’s Mystery

Müller’s Mystery Part I It all started three weeks before Pavo Day... Leaves were scattered all along Maple Tree Lane. The wind smelled like burnt firewood. Clouds were building up on the dark horizon. A slow and steady step echoed down the halls of Mason Manor. A Shadow creeped along the walls. Slowly making its way towards the basement the Shadow creeped slowly and cautiously. With a bolt towards the door the shadow entered the dark basement, and with lightning speed it made its way out unnoticed by humanity with a large black rustling bag. The Shadow was unaware of two dancing and twinkling eyes spying through a half-closed door. Inside the parlor of Mason Manor sat Mr. Müller slowly rocking back and forth in his rocking chair. A long white shawl served as a blanket as he slowly read the paper he was holding. Impatiently he rubbed his forehead and adjusted his silver spectacles. There was no doubt about it. Great Mr. Müller (Mr. Müller’s father) had made this his

Slime Time!

Yep, the slime frenzy finally hit me. You can stretch it, you can tear it, and put it all together again. How addictive is this thing? I love slime. And after you make it, so will you. Here is one of the most simple and effective recipes: 1 Cup of warm water 1 Tsp borax 1 Bottle of Elmer’s glue Food coloring (optional) Ok, so the first thing you want to do is mix the warm water and borax until the borax is completely dissolved. Then set it aside. Next, pour out your Elmer’s glue and add the food coloring. Little by little, add your activator, but make sure you don’t add too much of the borax solution or else your slime won’t be as stretchy and flexible. The more you play with your slime the more manageable it will become. If it feels too sticky, add more of your solution. That’s how easy it is to make slime! If you want, at this point, you can add glitter to your slime. Be creative and go wild! I do recommend you use Elmers’s glue because other glues are not as stretchy. And a

Not Broken!

Hurricanes have stumbled upon us, earthquakes have shaken our very souls, and fires have burned our hopes. In a time of brokenness and pain, we frantically search for something to hold on to, something to grasp. We are all hanging by threads that become more and more fragile the more we cling to them. Above the uproar of waves of frantic people, and under the terrible skies of darkness and devastation, we still cling to faith, we hope against hope, we triumphantly get up when we fear we have no strength left. We rebuild our walls even if they have been torn down hundreds of times. We persevere even when we can't see our goal. This is the true spirit of faith, hope, and the undying flame of unquenchable joy. Although many of us have suffered many burdensome losses, we know it is not the end. With renewed vigor we will press on, and with help form the One above, we will keep running the good race! We may be shaken, but we are not broken. Keep up the faith!
