Help I screamed as they pulled me away in the bag. I knew that nobody could hear me because it seems as if I have been screaming for hours. I was guessing that I had been out for about 3 hours, as I feel the distorted lump on my temple. Then out of nowhere somebody says my name and I feel the bag loosening. As I roll out I automatically spring up and run because of my training in the military. The man that called my name does not chase me or move he just watches me run. As I round the corner I come to a 2 way stop. I choose the right path but before I get two feet in I hit something, it feels cold and I realize it is glass I quickly turn around and the man is there. I look at him and I realize I know him but I can’t quite figure out who it is. As he pulls out a gun from his side I spin into the other hallway and come to a dead halt once again hitting glass. I quickly spin around I expect him to shoot but instead I find a small bag lying on the ground with a note in on top.

After I read the note I decide not to do what it said and look for a way out of this. After countless lefts and rights I sit down and eat the clam chowder that is in the bag and I give in and do what the note said to do. I empty the can and start banging it on the metal walls and ground. Seconds later everything goes black and I feel a small sting in my neck, I start to feel woozy a minute later I collapse. When I wake up there is a dim light and i am sitting at a table but not alone. The man across from me gives the baggie back. I ask him where am I what am I doing here, he answers me with silence he say i will be part of a game, his game. Then the ground disappears and I am alone again. I look through my bag and find a rubber band a stick the size of my arm, rope some cotton balls, a battery, a laundry clip and a cue tip. I almost leave them there but I keep them just in case. As I am wondering around I notice that this building is a giant maze. I try to climb the walls by attaching the stick to the end of rope and throwing it in the air hooking it on the edge of the wall I climb up finding a person walking on the other side I jump on him knock him down hit him in the temple with the stick. I search his body and find a small delicate 6 shot revolver. I find six bullets in it I drop the rope and stick and run afraid that the man would wake up and call for others. Again I see another man except this time he sees me it’s a draw but I have my gun out already I shoot. As it flies through his heart another man comes I roll shoot and miss. The man shoots and missies me by centimeters. I get up take aim and I knock the man’s gun out of his hand. Behind him two more men show up toss him a gun before he can grab it there is a whole in his head. As soon as my shot hit they open fire on me one shot hit my right shoulder the other misses me. I lay flat on the ground face down they come up to me and turn me over, as I’m rolling I shoot and they both fall limp. I stand up but I fall back down I look to my heart and I see the tip of a sword I look to see who it is then it all comes back the man who shouted my name was my comrade in Iraq he was supposedly going to die so we left him but this was his revenge. And I was just the first….

ESSAY

Deep in the dark forest of old England he sat ready to pounce. The Short story “The Hundredth” dove by Jane Yolen is a very enticing, but confusing book. During this book the author takes you to a small kingdom in a castle, where when the king is about to marry, the author does this through the eyes of a fowler. Even though this book was a bit confusing and felt like it was all gibberish the author wrapped it up quite nicely in the end.

The end was nice but the end would have been nothing if it was not for the setup that the author used in the beginning to pull the whole thing together. The first thing Yolan did was make it clear that the fowlers motto was serve and that nothing could stop him from disobeying it. The second reason I say that the begging set it up is because on the first page about ¾ down the page it says that he only dared to kiss the ladies ring. Later in this story the ring and his motto badge would be the whole key to this story. First the ring when he finally caught the white bird with his net and hand he saw the ring on the bird’s foot. Then the bird started to talk this is when the motto badge came to play. The bird tried to barging and persuade with the fowler twice but he refused, then the fowler showed the dove his motto badge. The dove tried one more time telling him that he would be able to marry the soon to be kings wife. As seconds went by he said yes and ripped off his badge agreeing. But in the end there was no marriage for the king or the fowler.

I think that this story was a fable. (Something that has a lesson or point to the story) Because when he ripped off his badge and threw it to the ground hoping to marry, but it turns out that he did not get married, and he lost a friend, the king. This all means that you should stick to your friends and be good to them and not be a trader behind their backs. Also that you should respect them and trust that they respect you too.

This story also relates to my life a lot because did not respect my friends once. I was having a airsoft war with my friends and I trapped one of them. Exactly when the fowler trapped the Dove. So he said you can be on our team if you don’t shoot and I said sure, just like when the fowler was tempted by the Dove. Then we went off to keep fighting I shot my old teammates after a while the same guy I trapped shot me. The same thing happened to the fowler instead of getting shot he never got to marry her.

Married or not the fowler lived a unhappy life alone in regret of his choice. The author could have done much better in her word choice example: Ran page 2 She could have used Sprinted and many other choices. That would have made this story much more interesting. Even though this book was a bit confusing and felt like it was all gibberish the author wrapped it up quite nicely in the end.

Picture Thing

This picture reminds me of my life except I’m on the right. I think I have adhd or a slight bit of it. I am not quite sure but there is something wrong with me I might have a birth defect or maybe I am missing part of my brain or a ate a parasite and it is messing around with my head. When I find out what it is I hope it can be fixed because it gets me in trouble a lot. My parents say there is nothing wrong with me but everybody says different than them, I think they just don’t want to pay the bill. It is ok though because I think a am just really hyper and I should not eat breakfast or lunch so I have no energy anymore, or I could…..no that would just make my mom and dad pay more, weal looks like I will starve.
