But one man named “Thunder Jack”, got to be in a huge race (SO BIG that some people had to wait to start running in the race) to the “Village of the Dark Woods”!

First they had to climb a huge soft wall. The first to be done, was the mysterious “Thunder Jack”!

On the other side of the wall, was the woods. “Thunder Jack” tried to go through the woods. All of the wolves in the forest, tried to kill him, but “Jack” ran into a cave. This cave turned out to be “the Village of the Dark Woods”!

Charlie’s Story...
The Rich Ugly Yellow-toothed Troll


Long, long ago, there was an ugly yellow-toothed troll, living under a broken bridge in the haunted ugly forest.

The troll’s name was “Liger”.

Liger wanted gold…so when people walked on the broken bridge, their golden money fell out of their pretty wallets.

One dark night, Liger went exploring for food. While he was exploring, he found a dead bird. He was so hungry that he ate it. Then he got a huge stomach ache, from eating the dead bird!

He went to go lay in his ugly broken bed, to try and feel better, but it just got worse. He was in so much pain, that he puked! That helped his stomach ache to feel better.

The next morning it started to rain, so Liger went outside to wait for it to stop raining.

When the rain stopped, he saw a rainbow!

He went over his bridge to get to the rainbow and the pot of gold. Liger was running as fast as he could, to get to the end of the rainbow!

Finally, he found the gold! It was in a dark, black pot.

Liger took the gold and he went back to his broken bridge, to plan the shopping trip he was going to have, to spend all his gold on everything he always wanted.

Liger was no more…the mean ugly scary troll. He bought a new house with some of his gold… so he didn’t have to live under the broken bridge anymore!

Haunted by the Bunny


A long, long time ago, in a very, very old school, a kid named Angelo was looking around (when no one was supposed to be there).

Angelo could hear sounds coming from the lunch room. He got so scared…that he ran out of the school.

When he didn’t feel scared anymore…he decided to go back into the old school. He went by the lunch room…and no one was there!

Then Angelo went down the stairs. It was very, very dark downstairs. Luckily, Angelo always carries a little flashlight on his keychain. He turned on the flashlight and saw a man with a scary clown face (it was only a clown made out of cardboard)! Angelo took off running, back up the stairs!!!

Then Angelo heard sounds coming from the storage room. He opened the storage room door and out popped a bunny! That scared him to death…but made him laugh too!

Angelo picked up the bunny and started walking back by the lunch room. He realized the sounds he heard were not the scary clown man…but the bunny!

When Angelo came home with the bunny, his mom and dad told Angelo to let the bunny go back to Mother Nature.

Nobody goes to that very, very old school anymore. Not even ‘monster bunnies’!

Wayne’s Story...
Dawn of the Dead


A long time ago, on my birthday, we went to Texas.

While we were in Texas, we went to the desert that was far, far away, near the “Village of the Dead”.

If you go there, you have to be very careful not to get bitten by a scorpion. When we were there, we caught a scorpion in the desert. This scorpion bit my mom! We had to rush her to the hospital. She almost died!!!

When we got to the hospital, the doctors warned us… “the ZOMBIES are coming out tonight…so it’s a good thing you are here instead of out there in the desert. If they try to come in here…we will shoot them!”

Later that night, as mom was starting to get better from her scorpion bite… some ZOMBIES did try to come into the hospital. They did get shot by the security and this made the 6:00 news in Texas.

We all had a celebration in the hospital.

I will never forget the “Dawn of the Dead!”
