It was a dark summer night, 15th of August. School started afte a few days so the class groupchat was getting a bit more active than usual. Everything was normal, until our teacher sent an announcment message. My jaw dropped so low!
The teacher’s message said: “Hello parents, and students! The last year of primary school is here and we announced a new class trip as a welcoming way from our school to our clever students for this new school year. I need the parent’s confirmation to make sure if all children will be present. Thank you”
The amount of happines that developed in my heart was completely insane.
Days passed so fast and easily and the class trip day came. Of course my parents accepted because they saw and understood how exited I was. As soon as I woke up, my legs sent me to school before the doors were opened, which wasn’t surprising me and my friends finaly met after three wonderful summer and the more we hugged was so wonderful. Every body was as exited as me to the point we checked the clock every single second. Me and saidi got on the train and the first ten minutes we started thinking and admiring that big elecfonic. I and them we never saw a train that went underwater. As for me I shaked. I was absolutely shaking. When the train started moving forward, I don’t know about the others, but honestly for the first time in my life I didn’t feel dizzy. Maybe because I was busy watching the sea inside. Thankfully we didn’t say hi to a shark!
While the train “swimmed” through, I felt like the sea creatures were getting more and more closer to us. Firstly a big giant Puffer Fish and his big air-filled belly came to see how we were doing. Then a jelly fish appeared. I have awful experiences with them but let’s not talk about that. We saw hundreds of different sea creatures and for once I thought we became part of the family! But after an hour of enjoying the moment, a terrifying situation kicked in: one of the train’s windows cracked and everyone started screaming. The window cracked because of the train’s speed. The train got full with water and now I couldn’t say anything about the puffer fish’s belly because my situation was worse. Everything started to get serious and the only thing that would save our lives was to jump wear an emergency swimsuit and start swimming for our lives. So that’s basically what we did. The moment I was about to jump came but suddenly I felt a pinch in my leg. I couldn’t detect where it came from but sudenly I woke up! The first thing I saw was my friends dog lying down. It was a whole dream but thank god we were still in the train because I would start crying if I missed anything from the legendary trip of my life. At first I didn’t believe when my friends told me I fainted because of the fishes that I was terrified of, but I realized that it was true
Thankfully, I didn’t get hurt because I don’t sleep easily. The memories we created only snacks, but a filming camera too. The memories we created that day were unbeatable. Even though I’m sure I wouldn’t forget anything we still needed to film the looks of the sea that day. It was never that clear and to the point I could see the sun light through it! I’m not that advanced at remembering the looks or colours so it was a real need. When we got out I was hoping I was still on the dream I was going through to wake up again inside the train. It was super exciting and a level ten experience so I really hoped to go through it again. After we were leaving, the sunset was set and the seagulls started flying above the sky. My senses thought it was the meaning of a cozy goodbye of the hot summer season! This is, and will definitely be the best welcome of fall and goodbye of summer of all time!

It was a normal day in school until our teacher told us that we were going on a class trip. We were over the moon and super excited for this class trip. Our class thought that it was a normal class trip until the teacher told us that we were going to the sea, but not a normal day swimming at the sea, we were going under the sea. Still we were excited, but a bit creeped out, considering the fact that in the sea there would be plenty of weird creatures. Me and my friends had heard some rumors that, in the ocean, there were weird terrifying creatures that wait for swimmers to go deep into the ocean, then take the swimmers with them. People in the small town say that some people, who have gone deep into the ocean, haven’t returned because they were in another side of the earth. But anyway, we brushed off the spooky feeling and we got ready for the class trip.
Me and my friends bought snacks and new clothes together. Then the day came, got ready and hopped in the bus. The road was very long but it was worth it! Once we arrived at the beach we got changed into our swimsuits and we swam into the sea. That day was such a calming and fun day. It was midnight, it has also a full moon, out at the beach. There was nobody at the beachside. I felt myself sitting closer to the sea, it’s like some body, or something, was pulling me in the sea. I felt a dark presence around me, it’s like something evil was trying to get me. Now I was under the sea. The water was freezing cold. I went deeper and deeper into the sea. Now I was around 100 meters underwater. I could breathe underwater, didn’t run out of breath surprisingly. And there I spotted a caver. A very big caver, I heared voices or whispering inside of it. I went in. That’s where my heart dropped.
I saw some weird creatures doing a ritual. Those creatures looked like aliens, but WORSE. I was so freaked out at this point, so I started swimming very fast, but they caught up to me. Then I realized something, it was a full moon, so that’s why those creatures were there. I also remembered the rumors, that if you go in you never go back. I was super scared for my life. But then I woke up. It was just a dream. When I looked outside there were a lot of people having fun and swimming. I finally calmed down. It was a bizzare dream. But was it really a dream?

So me and my class went to Scotland for a school trip under the sea. This was a loooog plane ride, we slept for the majority of the way. But when we got there we were left (speecheles) speachlees, when we arrived. The place was magnificent. We tried somme local deseerts and we went to the “Under the sea park where there was a big tunnel that took you under the sea. The spot that we went to was a little big less deep than the Mariana Trench. I personaly was a little scared because I had a bad feeling. When we were turning back I saw a extinct animal, a Megalodon shark, He was massive, but suprisingly friendly. The instructor told us to not go to the restricted area but one of my friends went there and guess what, He sat the biggest tail he’d ever seem. When he joined us he was troamatized, we asked him what’s wrong but he didn’t talk the whole night. The next day me and some my friends saw something in the water and we brushed it off thinking it was a coral but we were wrong. That same night me and the same friend went deeper than the restricted area and we saw the Loch ness monster, the myth that was circulating a few years ago there it was locked with chain’s ready to destroy everything in it’s path. He saw us with a in timidating look. We were so scared, truly scared. He took one hit at the glass and it cracked we sprinted out of there looking like we’ve seen a ghost. But that wasn’t the end. The next day it was out looking for us who woke him up from his sleep. From that day on we had bad luck. We told the Police who contacted the “Area 51” Agent’s and scientist, They had an intense screaming match on the phone. When the call ended the Policeman was dead, left like an empty soul.
That moment the phone buzzed it was an amber alert and it said “God bless Scotland” From that second on we told our teacher and immediately left without turning our heads back. And Scotland would be destroyd for once and Forever.

Once upon a time there lived a little boy in a poor town. There were lots of sick and hungry people in this town. The boy’s mother was really sick, so the boy had to find medication for her.
One day he went in the forest, hoping to find medication plants. While searching, he found a coloring book with thousands of sketches. He got a leaf and started coloring some money but to his supise, they turned real. He was supized and happy at the same time. He ran to the town and buy medication and healed his mother. The boy had a pure gold heart so he healed the whole town. Time passed, and the boy kept helping everyone until the poor town turned into the most rich place that he could think of. And as soon as he put it back a witch appeared. The coloring book was hers, but she was touched by the boys good actions, so she said that if he can pass two mountains in 3 days and 3 nights, he can have the book back, and it will officialy be his. The boy thought about it, and he decided that he will do it, and once he has the coloring book, he will help the whole world. He started his jurney by passing the mountains, but they were much bigger than he thought. He started climbing the moutain and never gave up. In the first day he saw a neutrial lion, but the lion couldn’t eat him because he had a very injured leg. The lion’s kids wanted to scare the boy, because they thought the boy wanted to hurt their mother, but the boy got some medical plants out of his backpack and started healing the lion’s leg. The boy stayed with the lion for e few hours until her leg was completly healed. The lion, thankful for the boy’s actions, signaled him to get in her back. The boy got on the lion’s back and told her the direction. The lion started running and she was almost as fast as the wind. 3 days passed, now the boy had 1 more night to climb down the second mountain. On the way he saw a castle covered with snakes. A princess came out and invited him in and told him that the coloring book was inside, but the boy knew she was lying, because the coloring book was with him the whole time. The witch never took the book from him, she just told him that it will be officialy his if he passes the mountains. The princess got angry and slowly started turning into a giant snake. The boy imediately took out the coloring book and colored a sun while him and the lion were running from the giant snake. The snake wanted to have the book for itself, but suddenly a big artificial sun appeared, and it burned the snake to death. The boy still scared colored a slide and it spawned right under his and the lion’s feet. They started sliding down the mountain in the speed of light, right before the 4th day came. The witch was waiting and smiled. She told the boy that he can have the book and then dissappeared.
Years passed and now the boy was 80 years old. He lied in his bed, knowing it’s his last day on earth. At least he made his dream come true, poorness didn’t exist anymore. After he took his last breath, the coloring book dissapeared forever.

Mom we can’t help it. You know there are no flowers that smell like lilys but look like roses! - who cares Philio i want my flower! She stormed out of the room and slammed the door. - Ugh no body cares about my well being! I have not seen anyone be this selfish in my life! How come I’ve asked for diamonds, spoons and they didn’t give me. i’ve cried for a silk dress that they could make but still no and now that I ask for a simple thing they say it isn’t possible?! I wish I had a magical sketchbook that could make anything I draw come to life! Well I better go to bed now it is getting late.
The next morning she woke up feeling moody again. But suddenly she saw a maroon coloured notebook at her bedside cabinet. She was very surprised because she didn’t own anything like that. She saw a diamond pencil on the coloring book - Ohh this is pretty well I guess the wish come true. She opened the colouring book and saw hundreds of empty pages in it. She grabbed the pencil and drew a random type of dress, and magically the dress just appeared in her hands. - Oh god this is amazing i’ll see what I can do more because I can finally make my wishes come true!.
Throughout the whole day she kept drawing and drawing until the room was full. - Well I guess we are good for today but I'm hungry so imma draw some meat. She drew the meat and it appeared raw on her hands. She didn’t know what to do so she drew some carrots but they turned plain white.
She was so surprised that the pencil wasn’t working. She went to the kitchen to see if she had some food. She opened the fridge, the cabinets, the stove and everything just to find nothing. Even her cooking appliances were magically gone. She tried to call her friend but the telephone wire was cut off, it looked like everything disappeared.
So she got out of the house got on her car and started to drive to the forest.
The famous magician of the town lived there. He was known for breaking curses and making potions that could heal the deepest wounds. She stood in front of his door and before even knocking it magically opened itself. She was walking around the house till was full with mosses, leaves, and the most random ceramic bottles you could see. She walked in a dark room and saw the magician meditating peacefully. - The colouring book came in your hands right? - How do you know who I am and what I need from you - she asked shocked. He said in a calm voice - I’m a magician, did you forget? Now sit down and tell me your problems. - The book that I have in my hands made a disaster, everything in my house randomly disappeared I don’t know what to do - she said anxiously. - Well the book in your hands has a catch. With anything you draw another thing of yours disappears. - What can I do? - Well you should erase everything you drew first of all and then you should stop being so selfish. She nodded.
So from that time she tried to be more generous and she erased everything on the book and threw it away.
Everything on her house reappeared since she erased the stuff and she started being generous, kind and was loved by everyone! Well we should all know that it takes some time to improve but if you really wanna change your soul tells you to improve for the good. We can all choose between love / hate or arrogance / _. Life gives you the choice between both of them. For me, you should pick the better side of it.

Last night I had a dream I was walking through a path in the forest. There was smoke everywhere and suddenly a wizard appeared. I was a bit scared but then she talked to me, she knew my name too. She had her hands a colouring book. It was so beautiful I wanted to just take it from her hand. Little did I know that was not just a normal colouring book. At that moment I woke up. I didn’t know what to feel. It looked so real I thought it was true. Actually I wanted it to be real. Different thoughts came into my mind. I would be the happiest person in the world. I was imagining that “what if a magic colouring book might look like a baby thinking that but what if it was a magic colouring book what if I draw a thing and it would be brought to life what If I draw a house for children that don’t have a house and it became real. My biggest desire right now was for that dream to continue. I knew how it would end. It felt like a plot twist. Then I went to school completely distracted. Then our teacher told us about an xx trip in the “Elnwood Forest”. I didn’t want to go I wasn’t in the mood for it but my friends begged me to say yes. I went in Elnwood Forest. It was scarry. We had to keep walking animals and it was very deep. As I stud I was a bit distracted for a moment I was just starring at along beautiful tree with some symbols on it. When I turned my head my friends wern’t there. My anxiety was growing it was blocking me I didn’t know what to do. At that moment everything looked delusional to me. I didn’t know what to do. There were wild animals there and it was starting getting dark. What if I dissapeared into the woods what if a wild animal ate me and I would never be founded. I followed a smogy path through the forest. As I walked I saw the wizard. THE WIZARD THAT WAS IN MY DREAM. I was completely lost and I couldn’t belive my eyes. Am I still in the dream I said to myself?
“I know you” I said to the wizard. “I know sweetheart” she said. She was wearing a long black mantel with pearls and her hair was shining. She looked like a angel with her sleepy beautiful voice and her hair that reached her waist.
“I want to give you something.” she said.
“Oh my dear, What if she gave me that colouring book” I said with myself. My life would completely change. And that was the moment when she was holding in her hands a stunning magical colouring book. I was astonished. “I’m giving that to you sweetheart but keep in mind that it will dissapear if you don’t keep up this great behaviour.”
“Thank you” I said when an excitement feeling was going through my body. I would change the world with that book. I was not going to use it only to my desires and problems but I was going to use it for everyone, for everything that was in need.
At that moment the wizard suddenly dissapeared. I thought I was in a dream. I was too happy I cannot descibe it. But no. It wasn’t a dream. It was actually real. My life completely changed that night……

My breath came out in short, sharp bursts as I glanced over my shoulder. My eyes were wide, desperately looking for some kind of shelter. Bullets were flying around, the gunshots seemed almost too loud. Screams of agony could be heard, but even they seemed too hallow to my ringing ears. But finally, I found a narrow, dark alleyway that was seemingly untouched by the chaos that surrounded me. Clutching my side tightly, I slowly entered it, my body going limp as I leaned against the wall. While trying to catch my breath, my eyes, although unfocused, stayed fixed to the entry of the alleyway.
The alleyway was cold, dark, and quite frankly, very dirty. I slowly slid down the wall, falling onto the ground with a muffled thump that was similar to the dead bodies right outside the alley. Why do we only see worth in very simple things when they’re taken from us? Why was I thinking this? Why did I feel this undeniable feeling of worthlessness and helplessness that I couldn’t push away?
I quickly shook my head, pushing away whatever came into mind that didn’t tell me to survive. I looked down at my abdomen, my dull dark brown eyes hardening as I noticed the deep dark red spot that stained my shirt. “Right,” I murmured to myself as I let out a deep exhale through my mouth. I looked around for something, trying to find something—anything that would help me out. I could feel a chill down my spine that had nothing to do with the coldness that surrounded me.
Even as I looked around, though, I found nothing. I’ve never really been known for my good luck, so that didn’t surprise me in the slightest. With a deep breath and a muttered curse under my breath, my hand grabbed the sharp, blood-stained knife that lay beside me. Might as well go out knowing I tried, huh? “Alright…” I whispered, ripping a piece of my jeans that seemed long enough. I threw the knife aside, balling the fabric tightly and pressing it against my wound. How did I get this deep, long cut on my side? Let me start from the bottom.
Since I was a little girl, I had never really been known as a talkative person. Always walked with my head down and kept to myself as much as I possibly could. It was what I was taught, what I believed was only right for someone like me. “Keep your head down, don’t put your nose where it shouldn't be? We shouldn’t.” Be perfect. Flawless. My parents weren’t bad people, they wanted what was best for me. Even when they threw hurtful words my way with the worst intention shown, discipline and routine was what was carved in our forgiving. Love, however, is the cruelest of them all, it can’t be tamed, or controlled. It consumes the very being of everything and watches as it gets burned down without mercy.
At seventeen was when I first began love. It all started because of love. Two forbidden love stories happening at the very same time. The war started because the Russian princess and one of the “higher-ups” son fell in love. Knowing the fact that it would never be. Foolish, yet something to be held down to just to know that their souls craved a desire. But the thin line between love and hate seems to blur quite quickly when lust enters. The disgusting fatal lust for power. So at the night where Mr. Love where he'd steal Mrs. Love away. Things went terribly wrong. He stole the only thing left from their heritage. “The angels’ fallen tears”. A rose covered in pure gold and gorgeous gleaming diamonds that covered every single inch of that God forsaken thing. People were killed to make that lifeless object, and now it was stolen.
So technically, I didn’t do anything to stole it from the man. I am lyiny to myself right now, but delusion was the only thing that I was despretly clinging to when the massive cut on my side was bleeding like hell. The tail of the stary nignt had covered the sky, the pearly moon being the only thing that lead my way, The gunshots stopped after a few hours, now a silence that was somewhat eerie hung heavy in the air. Finally, I got the bleeding to stop. I looked around the pool of crimson that most likely was my blood. Then With shaky, pale hands, I reached for the pocket on the inside of my jacket, pulling out the charcoal rose. “Gosh, it killed more than it should have already.” I pondered, running diamonds with the red, thick liquid. My whole body shook; my head was spinning but my mind was as empty as a blank page.
My eyes stared ahead for a while, unfocused and quite hollow. Then, the other moment, they gleamed with wicked tears. I couldn’t cry no. Not the right time to do so. I stared this , and it would be me who ended it too. The time slid through my hands like grains of sand, never stopping, never returning back to me. But they left a lingering feeling, a fleeting sting that I wish I could ignore yet. Slowly with careful, clumsy movements, I got up, straightened out myself, and breathed in deeply. I went back home without any trouble, patched up my wound, and began formulating the plan on how to go back to Russia and return the flower.
I needed to do it without anyone finding out, or I’d either be dead because they thought I stole it, or dead because they knew I wanted to return the poor object to its rightful owner.
You can never be a hero in two separate stories, but you can surely help stop destructionon both.

It was a long night. I had just come out of the library. It was very cold no one was out, nothing was out. I could see my breath fogging up around me. The music was blasting on my headphones and there were no thoughts on my mind. I kept walking home until a loud alarm was heard from my phone. It scared the living hell out of me. I opened my phone to check what it was. It was a warning but something was unusual. It wasn’t a weather warning like always. All it read was “If you’re outside, seek shelter immediately.” My heart stopped. A shiver went down my spine and I became cold, extremely dizzy. My house was 30 minutes away. I felt tears stinging in my eyes from fear. One of my friend’s houses was near so without a second thought I took off running. Tears filled my eyes. The tears clouded my vision and I was certain there were footsteps behind me. Yet I didn’t dare look behind me. I reached my friend’s front door and banged on it until my fists were bloody. My friend’s mom immediately opened the door, they had also gotten the warning. They helped me inside. I was still shaking with sobs. My friend hugged me close and her mom began bandaging my wrists and knuckles. Then they turned on the TV. The news were filled with a enormous and scary creature. I felt the breath being knocked out of my lungs. It was the same one that followed me while I was running. I didn’t look behind me when I was running but I still caught a glimpse of it. Its sharp claws were bloody and if I got just on inch closer it would have gotten me. Then it all hit me. I was an inch away from death.
I looked out the window, my friend and her mom right behind me. The city was filled with smoke and fire. We had to evacuate immediately. We got all of the stuff we could gather and ran outside to the car. Her mom immediately drove off. My phone was dead and them. I desperately wanted to call my parents. Were they alright? Was the creature after them? They would have surely called me right? My heart sank as I looked out the car window and saw the whole city burning down.
Police, army, and firemen sirens were everywhere. My house had burned down… that could only mean one thing. My parents, they were… My thoughts got cut off as the car suddenly stopped. My head hit the window and my vision immediately blurred as blood ran down my forehead. I let out a loud cry of pain. I heard my friend scream “Oh no”. I opened my friend pulled me close. They had seen and I could tell she was shaking. Oh no. They had seen it hadn’t they? I waited for my vision to clear up until looking out the window. There it was… the creature. I had seen it before in history books but I never thought it was real. I had read a lot about it. It hunts humans. I took a good look at it. It had blue skin and giant wings. Its big wings flapped around him, I felt the intense wind it caused. Then my eyes stomped on the claws. The blood… the same claws from earlier… the same creature that had tried to make me its prey. And now it was gonna succeed. It laughed deeply and with the horns he hit our car. I flew and fell into a tree. The sudden impact made me start blacking out—the last thing I remember is that the creature had grabbed me. It was smiling… it wasn’t trying to hurt me… It was trying to save me. A hint of a smile covered my lips before it all went black.

Everyday, the town lived in horror. Every single night they would shut their windows and doors, board them up as much as they could and pray that whatever was coming for them wouldn’t see them. Some describe it as a humanoid figure with spider like limbs a hollow void for a mouth and empty eyes like black flies, and some describe it as the devil himself. But we don’t know for sure after all, no one who has gone out after 11 p.m has survived All night. As soon as the clock strikes 11 Fear and Terror takes over the town. All of the rebels who have gone out have never been found, not their bodys, not even a single strand of hair or a drop of blood, nothing. But as soon as the daylight strikes they hear the streaks of the monster getting burned by the sun. But where does it hide? In the forest? A cave? In the darkest pits of hell? It was up to Hunter to find out. He was scared but determined to find out where it lives. All he knew was that this terror all Started when it curse was set on the town after the people killed the witch in the forest. The Fear didn’t get to Hunter, he wanted a safe future for everyone. There was one place he thought of the staircase in the woods rumored to be a portal That connects Two Worlds. it was set under was going to camp out in an underground bunker near the staircase. nervous but determined he got ready he snuck out of the house and went to the scarcase just before 10:30 p.m. He was ready his blood ran cold when he saw the portal light up purple and the creature came out it was horrific it had big void-like eyes it had a long limbs that it walked on a big mouth ready to catch its prey luckily for the hunter it left go towards the town. He swiftly entered the portal ready for what would come next.He woke up on the ground surrounded by Strange alien-like plants this world was best described as dark and gloomy. he wandered around and ended up in an empty path with black bricks. he followed and followed and and followed time passing by slowly it led him to a cave it was homogeneous dark and waited to be explored. He entered. He scanned the walls with his flashlight and saw hundreds of monster like drawings on the walls. Even though he was scared he continued. He found a thick book on the ground it was there on the ground in the middle of the cave like it was waiting to be explored by him, like it was waiting for him. when he opened it he sought thousands of depictions of Monsters all with descriptions. he opened up the last page it read “the dweller”. it was a perfect description and drawn up the monster haunton their town. he read it carefully skin and every word. the end of the page read “ origin” and “ how to stop it!”. he read The Origin it comes from a dwell in time the age where the mighty witch still lived in. it was created by her as a sign of hatred and revenge. her soul was crafted into the monster and hopes that end in the ones who did her wrong. those cursed by her will live a life of fear, hidden away forever! now it was time for him to read how to stop it. Maybe this would stop The Terror. it read: the dweller is the most complex creature of the all how to beat it will be quite difficult. a spell must be casted on a wooden stake. It must contain all what it has put you through. On the stake, you must carve these symbols with great precision. “ $$#@”, Soon as the clock strikes midnight, you must stab it in the heart and leave the steak there. The steak should start to glow a purple color, and it will crumble apart into ashes along with the creature. This was it! This was The Cure! All the pain and suffering will be gone. It seems too good to be true. He went back to his reality through the portal, ready to make him its prey. Hunters stabbed the heart, his hands shaken. Soon enough the dweller turned to Ash along with the haunted memory it held. It was a bit tragic, its cries echoed through. Maybe, just maybe, the dweller would return to live a long and healthy life not associated with hurt. Maybe in another life …

He found a thick book on the ground it was there on the ground in the middle of the cave like it was waiting to be explored by him, like it was waiting for him. when he opened it he sought thousands of depictions of Monsters all with descriptions. he opened up the last page it read “the dweller”. it was a perfect description and drawn up the monster haunton their town. he read it carefully skin and every word. the end of the page read “ origin” and “ how to stop it!”. he read The Origin it comes from a dwell in time the age where the mighty witch still lived in. it was created by her as a sign of hatred and revenge. her soul was crafted into the monster and hopes that end in the ones who did her wrong. those cursed by her will live a life of fear, hidden away forever! now it was time for him to read how to stop it. Maybe this would stop The Terror. it read: the dweller is the most complex creature of the all how to beat it will be quite difficult. a spell must be casted on a wooden stake. It must contain all what it has put you through. On the stake, you must carve these symbols with great precision. “ $$#@”, Soon as the clock strikes midnight, you must stab it in the heart and leave the steak there. The steak should start to glow a purple color, and it will crumble apart into ashes along with the creature. This was it! This was The Cure! All the pain and suffering will be gone. It seems too good to be true. He went back to his reality through the portal, ready to make him its prey. Hunters stabbed the heart, his hands shaken. Soon enough the dweller turned to Ash along with the haunted memory it held. It was a bit tragic, its cries echoed through. Maybe, just maybe, the dweller would return to live a long and healthy life not associated with hurt. Maybe in another life …

Dear Goverment
Greetings from Bushat I’m a student here at Bushat. Recently I was coming home from practice and it was quite late and dark. It was around that time 7 PM. I was near my neighborhood street when suddently I started feeling chills around my whole body I felt like somebody was chasing me the whole time and I was kind of really scared because I’m all by myself. Suddently I saw some big dark navy blue eyes. I got socked so hard that I thrilled me to death. I paniced and after some seconds a big green figure came infront of me I wanted to scream so loud but I felt like something was pulling my voice it didn’t let me scream, so ran so fast I ended up at the main road, no one was around. I ran again and I ended up hiding under a dumster for some reason it felt safe but I wasn’t I found my time that it was alone there was a group of them. They gave a vibe of a real gang group who would steal and do terible stuff to you. It’s how scary it was, they grabed me so by my shirt and then a green light was shown in the space it was like a warning that something bad was coming. Then a big spaceship apeared it landed on the ground and a big door was opend. Big figures came out of it. They seemed like some kind of leaders because when they landed on the ground they kept bossing everyone around. When I saw them more closer and saw their whole face I was even more scared. I had no idea what to do I was so week at the moment and suddently I fainted.
After a while I opened my eyes and found myself laying on a bed but not any bed, a little jails bed. The first thing that came on mind was my mom did she find out what happened is she okay, is my family okay? I couldn’t help but overthink every single thing that’s happening and I just broke down in tears I was hopeless I was traped in an aliein spaceship with no escape but… I was wrong about everything. I got up, wiped my tears and told myself I can do this, I’m not giving up. Not today, not ever. I started to think of a solution and after a while, a brill of course!!! I could still write that I was still on earth. So all I needed to do but before things get in the wrong turn. I screamed this time so loud with no fear in me. I opened my practice bag and found a soup and I know it’s weird but I always keep soup with me it’s my lucky charm. I started to grab the soup to the locket so it could get diray and it would slide easly. After a while a screamed again and a guard came I told him I was hungry and he opened the chage but he let me out he just give me a piece of chockolate and then closed the chage after I made sure that he was gone and ran to the locket he tried escape I tried it and… It worked!!! I cried out of hopines. I got out the chage. I was happy I can’t describe it. I started to hide at every tiny spot I could so the guards wouldn’t see me. I think I needed two hours to get out it was a large blank corridor that I had to escape by foot. Then found a desk with a big comp. with computers and cameras and saw at a camera that everyone was having lunch, the road was clear. I pressed a button that had a big door drawn in, suddently a door was opend but nothing. I went inside to see what it was and to my suprise I saw millions of bag that had inside some kind of green lotions and was melting. It was acid, a very toxic one and the first thing that came into my mind was that they are trying to toxine our earth and I was right they where. I started the ship. It started to fly, I said my mind screw me there’s billion of people who need to be safely. The ship was out of the plannet earth I opened the garag door that had all the acid and threw them into the spcae. I didn’t know how to get back to earth I was more scared but I pulled myself together and tried to fly back to earth and I did it!!! I was stuck on earth but the alarm suddently started.
Red lights kept going on and off, guards from every angle came I was more than just trapped I had no single escape this was for real. really hopeless. Started to panic and had a mental brake down, tears came out and I didn’t know what to do. The space was on a self destroy comand and I wasn’t the only one paniced an alien came and pressed some buttons and set everything off. I ran into the crowed and managed to escape and run home.
I finally made it! My family was so worried they saw me and started to cry. I also and told them that I am fine and there is nothing to worry about. I saw the space-ship flying on the sky I started to worry but it dissapeard into the darkness. I’m writing this letter to inform you that somewhere but there, there are evil forces that want to destroy us humans. So I want to ask you if you can take any action on this because as I described I saw some bad things there and maybe we could be safe for now but not for forever. I hope you read my letter and consider my proposal on this situation and I hope for the best to happen.
With all due respect,
a student from Bushat’s school.

1st Place, Elisa Haskurti, Librazhd
There I was, in front of my computer trying to download my favourite game while drinking my favourite thing in the world, chocolate milk. Just as my game was done downloading, I heard someone calling my name and when I turned over I accidently spilled my milk all over my computer. It started glitching very bad, and in a panic I hit the “enter” key. Suddenly, everything in my room started glitching too and in a moment everything turned black. When I opened my eyes, I wasn’t in my room anymore. It was a place with a lot of houses around but no one was there. I couldn’t understand what was going on and then I realised I was sucked in my favourite game. A screen appeared in front of me saying:
“If you want to go back to your real life you have to complete all the levels of this game. But remember something, if you don’t complete it with in 24 hours you are going to be stuck in this world forever. The time starts now. Good luck!”
-and the screen went off. I had been playing this game since I was little and I knew every single thing of this game. So, there were 5 levels of the game. The first one was to get rid off the monster that was hidden in one of the houses wich I found it very easy because I knew where it was hiding. After killing it with my sword I went on with level 2. This time I had to find 3 hidden gems on the game. After completing level 2, 3 and 4 easily now I had to go on level 5 wich is the hardest one. I could never completeit in the real life so this was going to be hard. I saw on the timer that I only had 1 hour to finish it. So I had to solve a riddle in order to get a key that oppened the door to my world. The riddle was: “In a world so bitter there is something so sweet that when you have it, you can’t get enough of it.” I only had 1 chance to get the right answer or I would be stuck in this world forever. The time was running out. I didn’t know what the answer was. Then I remembered the reason why I get sucked in this game on the first place: “chocolate milk” - I screamed. I entered the words shaking and with fear and the words “Winner” appeared on the screen. I got the key and opened the door to my world!

3rd Place, Ada Nergjoni, Prrenjas
Since I was little a weird dream has followed me through my sleep and even now I see it again. In this dream I find myself digging deep in the forest and all of a suddent a dragon with five heads appears in front of me, but something seams off because it looks like it was protecting some kind of treasure and every time I tried to won the battle between me and the beast I was one step away of finding what the beast was hiding I would wake up.
When I was little I wouldn’t mind seeing this dream every night but when I got older the this dream became a nightmare to me. I would wake up in the middle of the night sweat and so stresed out.
One night I decided to tell my mum because I was losing my mind from this dream. My mum told me to visit my grandma because she had informations for those kinds of dreams - so thats what I did. As soon as I arrived there she knew what I was looking for. My grandma gave me a ancient map and a vocabulary to translate the words used in the map. After I translated every world of the map I was socked to find that this kind of paper discribets the whole town and the forest nearby it was circled with a brightner color meaning something was hiding there. I couldn’t stand anymore seeing this dream so I packed my things called my closes friends and followed the map.
When we arrived at the forest a weird energy got as all. I tried to enter the forest but a barrier stoped me. I had never seen that kind of thing but as soon as I turned my head a kind of faire had appeared. She was glowy with shiny wings and red hair. Her name was Lucinda. She told us that to enter we have to pass 3 tests. We were scared but agreed with her. Lucinda told us that the forest had 3 pieces. The front, the middle and the forbidden part. My friends were scared but I didn’t mind because this was my fate and I have to deal with it. The first test was to prove my friends loyalty and there all passed it. The second test was to find the answer of a question. One related to physics and my friend Liam was a genius and of course he found the answer in seconds. But the last test was to survive the way throught the forbidden part. The barrier opend and the second we step foot in the forest a werid kind of people captured us all and tied us with ropes. We were shook to our core. The leader of this tribune regonized me because I looked like my grandma and asked me what was my purpose of being here. I told my journey of dreams and he imidiently let us free and gave us advice to survive the way to forbidden part. We started to walk when a beast apperd in front of us. This beast had 20 eyes and 10 legs. We run faster than ever before and lost from her site, but our journey wasnt over this time we were close to the last part of the forest and I could feel the dragon near me.
This was my duty to call and I steped forward my friends and butted hard with the strange beast. This dragon was strong but not stronger enough to beat one of my kind. After 10 minits fighting the dragon fallen dead and I was free to see what was behind her. I couldnt Belive my eyes. There were millions of diamants and gold in there. We didn’t know what to do but decided to take some of them and make a neclase of it so I shouldn’t see more dreams about it. And thats what happed. From then on I haven’t seen those kind of dreams anymore but even today I feel sorry for killing that dragon because she was only doing her dyty.

1st Place, Katerina Çela, Berat
One normal Sunday me and my team made our way to the Arctic. We had a long journey but we finally made it there. After the night as soon as the sun lit up we wore our special clothes and went explore. We saw some animals here and there but nothing that much eye catching. After some hours we decided to go back to our house. We were walking for over an hour when we actually noticed we were lost.
And as much luck we got a snow storm started. We decided to hide in a cave to wait for the storm to calm down and then find our way back home. It was getting dark and the storm hadn’t ended yet. After some time we all fell asleep.
I woke up by a noise but it was dark and I couldn’t see anything. I took my lighter and went for a walk more deep in the cave. After walking I couldn’t belive my eyes what I saw next. Deep inside the cave at the end of it was a huge rock. I was seeing my reflection in the small lake when suddenly I slipped. To make sure I wouldn’t fall in the water I put my hands on the huge rock. At that moment the rock moved a little bit and another rock turned into a tunel. I went inside and couldn’t belive my eyes. There was a whole city made of diamonds.
Houses of diamonds, chairs even people looked like diamonds and dressed elegantly. Other than crystal people there were creatures of all kinds that normal people had never seen before. There was a big foot giant, red and purple deers etc. I found a great young man who told me he could take me through a tour around the city. We went in waterfalls with crystal water, carusels made with rubins and esmerealds, and at last we stopped in front of the castle. We couldn’t go inside but still I waited till the man’s attention wasn’t on me and hid inside. When the king saw me he screamed and informed his guards but I explained my situation to him. It turned out he was an amazing king but something was destroying his town. That something were people like me who wanted to find the mysterious old town, so the king and his people had to move from one place to another and now that I was there too they had to move again. I told him not to do so because my mouth will be shut but he didn't listen. After that he offered me to sleep in one of the guests rooms and so did I. In the morning I felt something poke me in the arm. It was my friend who I went in the adventure with and the storm had ended. I told him the story but he said I was dreaming. I belived him to and just went to find our house. As we found our way back I had something in my pocket it was a rubing which I took and that proved I wasn’t lying but no one would belive me and I cared for that town so I told no one. Today after a month I decided to write my story so other people will belive in unrealistic things too and not be so grumpy all the time.
2nd Place, Megi Vreto, Prrenjas
Antarctica is a cold and mysterious place, full of secrets. Our research team traveled there to study the ice and glaciers, but we never expected to find something incredible. One day, while using our equipment, we discovered a strange empty space under the ice. It was not normal, so we decided to dig and see what was there. After hours of hard work, we hit something solid. But it was not ice or rock – it was metal. We had found a huge door covered in ice. Our heart started beating fast. Who built this? What was inside? With great effort, we open the door and a cold wind came out. Behind it, there was a strange ble light. We walked inside and saw something shocking. In the middle of the room, there was a man completely frozen in ice. His face was calm, his body was standing, as if he had been waiting for us. Then, something terrifying happened – his eyes opened. We stepped back in fear. He was alive. He started speaking, but his language was strange. We could not understand him. Who was he? An explorer from the past? A lost traveler? Or something more mysterious? We had many questions but no answer. Our discovery changed everything. Maybe some secrets should stay hidden forever.
3rd Place, Irsa Balla, Prrenjas
As I strolled through my town on a seemingly ordinary day, the sun shining, and the breeze gently rustling the leaves, I suddenly found myself tumbling down a hidden hole. It was as if the ground had opened up beneath my feet, and in an instant, my world flipped upside down. The sensation of falling was disorienting, and I felt a rush of adrenaline as I descended into darkness. When I finally landed, the impact was soft as if I had fallen onto a bed of clouds, but the confusion lingered. I looked around to find myself in a bizarre and enchanting place, far removed from the familiar streets of my town.
The environment was surreal, filled with vibrant colors, and sounds that seem to dance in the air. Giant flowers with petals that sparkle like jewels surrounded me, and the sky above was a kaleidoscope of colors, shifting and swirling in mesmerizing patterns. As I explored this new realm, I encountered creatures that defined logic: talking animals, whimsical beings with wings, and even trees that whispered secrets when approached. Each step I took revealed more wonders, but it also raised questions about how I had arrived in this fantastical world, and how I would return home.
Through my adventures, I learned valuable lessons about courage, curiosity, and the importance of embracing the unknown.
Interacting with the inhabitants of the strange land, open my eyes to perspectives I had never considered. They taught me to appreciate the beauty and differences, and to find joy in the unexpected. Eventually, I discovered a way to return to my town, but I enarged from the whole transformed. The experience had flipped my world upside down, not just literally, but in a way that reshaped my understanding of life itself. I returned with a newfound appreciation for my surroundings and a sense of wonder that would stay with me forever.

1st Place, Samanta Allko, Librazhd
My dear beloved town was slowly fading… Not just in population but in memory itself. Maps no longer marked its location, history books had erased it’s name and even those who lived here barely recalled it. It was slowly slipping into the void where forgotten things go, and I, one of the last keepers of its memory, could not allow that.
What is a place, if not the stories told about it? If no one speaks its name, if no one remembers, it’s laughter, it’s sorrows it’s triumphs, does it still exist? Perhaps the universe does not erase things violently, but instead lets them fade into irrelevance, dissolving into the spaces between thoughts.
I wondered around the town feeling its slow unraveling. The buildings remained, but their significant faded. The old bookstore where lovers once met smelled only of dust, not romance, the town Square where festivals once lit up the night, now carried only silence. If an existence is tied to remembrance, then to be forgotten is to die in the truest sense.
To keep this town alive, I gathered a few people left and spoke the truth. “If we do nothing, we will not only die… we will never have been. So we became storytellers. Every remaining voice was a thread, stitching the town back into the fabric of memory. We carved our history into stone, wrote our names in a thousand places, and invited travelers to listen. I reached out to scholars, poets, dreamers, anyone who understood that to speak of something is to keep it alive. At first, it was a whisper, then a murmur and then whoville’s name was on the lips of many.
Whoville did not disappear… it became a legend, a place immortalized in ink and voice. It may not be the same town at once was, but it exists because somewhere, someone still speaks its name.
And perhaps, that is all eternity truly is.
2nd Place, Pranvera Përnezha, Lushnje
The loud eerie sounds woke me up from a troubled sleep. Cars crashing, people running and screaming as if they were being chased. Was I in a dream? Many questions were crowded in my head, and then I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked up and saw a tall woman with long curly blue hair. She said she could help me so I started running with her. We quickly found shelter in an abandoned building. And there it appeared. The bright blinding light. It began to speak, and it said that I was the long-lost warrior and the key piece to finally saving this once peaceful town.
Once it was done, saying those words, it disappeared into thin air. I was lost, confused and didn’t know where to start. Eventually, I found out that the monsters chasing the towns people were zombies, and the only way to kill them was by frying their heads with fire guns. The only way I could make it out of this hellish video game world was by completing my mission.
The group, Hellbenders was their name, gave me shelter and loaded me up with ammunition.
Their leader, Zarah, the blue haired lady, treated me more nicely than any real person ever had. After having dinner around a fire, we all had to go to sleep, so we could be well rested and prepared for what tomorrow would bring.
Unfortunately, my sleep was interrupted in the middle of the night by the Watcher, the one guarding the door. Zombies had broken in and killed his best friend. When I saw the effect this hat on the grown man crying in front of me, I knew I had to do something. I grabbed my flamethrower and headed out to battle.
I had never seen such a scene, chaos and suing, people being frozen by the dilemma of whether to run or fight. The flesh eating zombies were like nothing I had ever seen before. Parts of their skull hanging from their head, slimy drool dripping down their chin as they reached out their bony hands looking for their next meal.
It had been a long, tiring battle from 11, we were down to three people: me, Zarah and the little girl, Lucy. We had hidden her under a trap door to keep her safe. The fact that we had lost so many people, and then dying in front of my eyes, didn’t bother me as much as it should have. In the contrary, I was beginning to realize something about myself that I did not like. What I liked was the feeling I got when I took someone’s life, even though it had been taken before. The power that it gave me was fulfilling, reviving in a way I felt as if I had gained a new life. I never wanted to leave this place. What would be better than being worshiped by a whole town for doing what I enjoy doing. This sort of thing would never happen in real life. That’s when I decided to play the double agent, I would kill zombies while still feeding them people secretly.
Three years had passed… time had gone by quickly. Me and Zarah had a thing for each other. One cold November evening I had told her about what I had been feeling. She tried to understand me, but I could see the fear in her eyes no matter how much she tried to hide it.
I decided to try and change when I saw the emotional turmoil that the woman I loved was experiencing. And I did change, however difficult that was to do. I would still get the itch once in a while, but I had Zarah by my side to support me. The guilt was the heaviest.
We had annihilated almost every zombie in the land, except for one of them. The 00 patient.
Traveling through the town was sad, but also hopeful. I wasn’t scared to fight him.
we arrived at his cave and he appeared before us. He was old and sad looking. We were baffled at the site as he started, begging us on his knees to kill him. With teary eyes, I took my fire gun and pointed it at his head. I turned my head away as I slowly pulled the trigger.
The loud eerie sounds woke me up from a troubled sleep…On no…
3rd Place, Anastasia Zaimi, Bilisht
It was a rainy Saturday afternoon, and I found myself curled up on the couch, a bowl of popcorn on my hand, ready to dive in a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie for what felt like the hundredth time. The flickering illuminated the dimly lit room, casting shadows that danced across the walls. Little did I know that this viewing would change my life forever.
As the opening credits of “Avengers Endgame” rolled, an inexplicable surge of energy coursed through me. I felt a tingling sensation, as if the very fabric of reality was shifting around me. Suddenly, the familiar sounds of battle faded, replaced by a swirling vortex of colors that pulled me in. Before I could comprehend what was happening, I was sucked into the screen, the world around me, dissolving into pixels and lights.
When the whirlwind of colors subsided, I found myself standing in the mid of a grand battlefield. The air crackled with electricity, and I could hear the distant roars of heroes and villains alike. I looked down on myself, I was no longer wearing my cozy pajamas, but instead donned a sleek black suit adorned with a glowing emblem on my chest. I was now part of the universe – an unknown hero in the world filled with legends.
As I surveyed my surroundings, I spotted Iron Man soaring through the sky, his repulsors blazing. Nearby, Captain America rallied his team, wielding his shield with unwavering courage. But amidst the chaos, I noticed a dark figure lurking in the shadows, watching with malevolent intent – Thanos.
In that moment, I felt an overwhelming sense of purpose. This was my chance to be a part of something extraordinary. The thrill of adventure ignited a fire within me. I joined forces with the heroes, my newfound abilities, manifesting as bursts of energy that I could control. Together, we strategized to confront Thanos and prevent him from unleashing chaos upon the Multiverse again.
The battle rage on for what felt like hours. Each hero played their part – Black Widow’s agility, Thor’s thunderous might, Dr. Strange’s mastery of magic. Yet, as we fought valiantly against Thanos’ army, I began to realize that this was not just a battle of survival, it was a test of my own character.
With each clash and explosion, I witnessed bravery and sacrifice. It dawned on me that while this world was exhilarating, it was also fraught with peril and loss. As much as I belong to stay and be a part of this adventure, I knew that every hero faced their own trials.
Finally, we cornered Thanos in an epic showdown atop a crumbling skyscraper. The tension was palpable, and he unleashed his fury upon us. In that indecisive moment, I felt a surge of determination. I channeled all my energy into a single blast, striking Thanos with all that I had.
But then came a moment of clarity amidst the chaos. As I looked around, surrounded with fellow heroes, I realized they all had lives beyond this battle.
