One day I got up and saw myself at the mirror. I said, “What am I? Am I an ant?” I didn’t know what to do. I swear God. I went to see my mum but she was huge. She was cleaning the house with a vacuum cleaner. I tried to run and I did it. The vacuum cleaner didn’t catch me. When I went out I saw my father. He had big shoes and hig hands. He was holding a small box. It was my present for my birthday. I wanted to pen the present but I was an ant. A fairy came to me and changed my body. I became a human again. I went and celebrate with my family. I was very fappy.

Everyone wants to fly. Me too. I want too much to fly in the sky. I want to have two beautiful wings. If we have wings, we can fly in the air and we can go in different places. We can visit all the world, all the places we want to go. This is the humans’ dream. This is my dream. I wish we are going to have wings and we are going to fly.
The world is a wonderful place where we can eat, drink and have a wonderful time with out family members, our friends and our cousins. If we will have wings, we will fly in all the world and we will not be so curious about it. We know we are all special and unique, but if we are going to have wings we are going to be more special and more unique, too.
I want humans to have a life like animals and hair like lions. I want to have yellow hair and a lot of them. I want to have a tail like a fox, fur all over it. This is my dream. I wish it will be reality!

I wish the human had also the power of bull because I love the bull. The head of bull because it is strong and nobody can hurt it. The bull is a strong animal. I believe the bull is second strongest animal. I like that because he is a national animal in Spain. The bull has beautiful horns. The bull is black or brown. I like bull he has very big teeth. The bull has earing in their ear. The bulls live eight years. If the humans had this thing he world would be better then now. Some animals are stronger than humans.

Here is my story: I got up early in the morning. I went at the bathroom to brush my teeth and my face. I was seeing myself in the mirror but I was feeling something was wrong on my face. I turned back and I discovered two eyes on the back of my head. I felt I was going mad. I went near the mirror and suddenly the eyes spend. I was crying and shouting in the house. I run at the wardrobe and started finding my cap. I put my cap in head and I started thinking how that eyes appeared in my head. I couldn’t find anything. Then, my friends asked me to go in a party. I told them to wait some minutes. I went again near the mirror to see if eyes disappeared. But they were still there. I didn’t know what to do. Then I decided to wear my jeans, my jumper, my hat and go to the party. My friends was talking to me but I was thinking about eyes and what I can do to remove them. We went to the party we was dancing. My friend liked my cap and get it. I shouted and all turned their head to me. All saw eyes back of my head. They started tease me and talking to each other.
“Iiiiiiii he is soooo ugly.” “Innormal person.” “Alien.” “What is an alien doing here?”
I run away of the party and I was crying. All peoples was seeing me with dislike. I went in my house and go to my bed. I opened my Facebook and I saw a lot of photos of my eyes. A lot of peoples commented, “Kill him…” “He is an alien.” When I saw all of this I broke my phone and destroy everything. Then I fall asleep in bed. After some hours I got up and I had headache. And I was hearing noise in my head. The noises was getting bigger and bigger. The eyes was opening and closing. Suddenly, the noises stopped. Now the noises wasn’t coming from my head but from the bathroom. I was walking close. I opened the door but I saw only my dog. I thought it was only my imagination. But it wasn’t. Something was moving in the kitchen. I run in the kitchen and I saw some knives in the table. I thought someone wanted to kill me.
Someone was saying, “I did this to you. Are you feeling bad, right? I wanted to know how you would feel. Now you are in the same place I was.”
I was thinking, “What did I do?” He disappeared. I tried to get out my house but all house was with cameras and TV presenter. I got in my house and tried to kill myself. But then I realized it was a bad dream.

One day the astronaut told us that we are leaving with a big spaceship in March because the astronauts discover that in the March the peoples can leave. But they told us that we can get only two things. But what? I ask myself. I was thinking and thinking and thinking all the night what I can get in the March. Finally, I found what I can get in the March, because I want to start the life in the March with fresh air and the nature there to be good like you living in peace and then we will call the March “Peace Planet.” Then the other thing that I will get the microscope because I want to see the cells because I think that the cells in March are different that in Earth, so I can explore all the creatures in the March. Also from that creatures we can killed all the virsuses from our body. So those were my two things that I get for the March.
The other day we went in the spaceship with the astronauts and the spaceship was extra large and I get those two things with me and we started our journey to the March. We went there and the land was not with grass like in the Earth but it was red. So I started to plant the tree, to throw water to her because I found water in March. I now that’s strange, but it’s really. Then day by day the tree grow up and it was beautiful and it can smell so good.
Then I found something in the red land and I get it and put in my microscope. I saw there, and there something like cell was moving. “Yes!” I told to myself I found a cell! I thought that I made a creation and that was really a creation! I sent that thing in the Earth to the astronauts to see what it was in lab! That was a needed cell because it healed a very bad virus. That was my creation. A very big creation because I healed too much people with that virus. Then at the end we return again to the Earth and now my life was different because myself was like a Hero from all the peoples in the Earth. This was my adventure that I saved the people with only two things the microscope and the tree that I planted there for a beautiful life in March. But we can make also a beautiful life in Earth to plant too much tree and to destroy all the factories.

It was the morning of the 31st of October and I fell from my bed! I hurt my head and my elbows. I get up to go to the bathroom. I was brushing my hair when the brush stuck back and what I see? I’ve got two other brown eyes on back of my head. I was terrified! What should I do?
“Oh, no! I’m like a monster or an alien!” I thought
Than I was staying in front of the mirror and I realized that I could see in four different directions! It was cool! I put on a cap and I was walking to park. I met my class selfish girls and they said ‘hello’ to me, than when I went a little bit far from them I saw with my extra eyes that they were laughing at me! I turned back and I said, “ Happy Halloween.” They were looking at me with their mouth open! “Bye,” I said and I went to my way! I thought that having extra eyes isn’t a bad idea. While I was walking I saw two man in black! Oh, my god, they were the Men in Black and they thought I was an alien! I was scared and I started running, but they caught me and put me in their car. I was trying to explain them that I was not an alien but they didn’t believe me! I tried to call my parents but they took my phone.
They said to me, “You are going to your planet.”
I was like, “Seriously, this is my planet. I have my family here.”
They stopped the car and said to me, “What? You mean that there are more like you?”
“No, no, you had a misunderstanding! I’m a human. I have two sisters, my mom, and my dad and a happy life. Please let me go!” I said
“Really, then prove it!”
I started saying all the Albanian VIPs names. They were surprised, but they still didn’t believe me! I was very scared! They stopped the car in front of nowhere, but they said like a password and a big door appeared in front of us! After that I was full of terror in my brain. I couldn’t think for other things except what should I do? They said me to sit on a chair and then asked me some questions! They tried to talk to me in alien’s language and I thought they were speaking Chinese of Japanese to me! While they were talking we heard the door open with a big force. There were two aliens with four eyes. “Oh, my god! They thought I was their sister.” They shoot with their gun and I fall on the ground! I open my eyes and I found myself at my room, my pillow was over my head and my blanket was with me on the ground. I checked if I still had my extra eyes. Oh, no, they weren’t there. I didn’t know what to feel: to be happy or sad. Anyways I realized that it was a perfect dream for Halloween. Fantastic!

It was Saturday, my day off. I generally take it easy and slowly on my off days. I get up late, do exercises after a big breakfast. But for my misfortune I could not do exercises that day. You know why? Well, you don’t so I’ll tell you…
I got up at eight past eight and after throwing some water to my face I wore my off day clothes. A big bowl fulfilled with milk and cereals was waiting for me. The next step to having a wonderful day off was turning on the TV and getting informed by watching some news. While watching news program I noticed that a breaking news appeared on the screen, it was about a bank robbery or something like that, I couldn’t read it because my head had been hurting since I got up but it got really intense at that moment. I had to take some medicine to stop that miserable headache. While walking slowly towards the medicine shelf I heard a knock at the door, and after that some others that were more like kicking the door than knocking on it. Fear covered my whole body and at that moment I changed my destination and my pace. I ran towards the door.
“Open up! Open the door, it’s the police!” and immediately after that some police sirens were heard and at that moment I was terrified as hell and for a moment I froze.
At the moment the door was opened I was grabbed by my arms and taken by the police to their cars and then directly to the police station.
A fat man asked me some questions there, that I guess were connected to the bank robbery that had happened earlier that day. While I was being asked by that alien look alike man I was saying to myself:
“What the hell have you done Ted? Had you robbed the bank? How come I don’t know it?”
And surprisingly I got an answer from myself:
“I know, and you too that the only crime we have done is stealing a lollipop from the 2 year old neighbor 6 years ago. So shut up dude and tell that fat, stinky and alien looking police that we are nothing else guilty for except stealing a lollipop.”
I told it to the officer but it was not enough. I was shown by them a video, it was the most unsatisfying video I had ever seen, it was me, with a gun, robbing the national bank. I could do nothing at that moment. Even though many polygraph tests have been done to me, and they all show that I am not lying the video is more reliable than the polygraph tests.
So…. here I am, 105 years old, the federal prison. I’ve been here for almost 70 years and for every single night I’ve seen the very same dream: Being robbed by the aliens, entering their spaceship and spaceship and talking to them for hours about my life and everything else.

If someday the police officers come in my house pounding loudly at the door and shouting at me like that, at first I would get stressed and under panic, then I would ask them what was going on and why did they come in my house like that. If they’d accuse me of robbing the bank I would get totally stuck. Then I’d try to explain that there’s a mistake. They still try to get me in their care and take me to the police station. I am really scared of cops and police stations so I would run as fast as I can, this way to escape them. They chase me with cars, but I’m in my neighborhood so I know some trails, that they do not. I am really scared and don’t know what to do, so I continue running. Finally I manage to escape cops and I feel relieved. I went to my secret place which only me and my bestfriend know where it was. I tried to understand what was wrong and why was I accused for robbing a bank? I stopped for a moment and I realized that I had committed a crime by escaping the police. I got under panic and I didn’t know what to do. And then I decided to call my best friend. I didn’t explain anything to her, I just told her to come at our secret place. Our secret place was an old house and people claimed that it was haunted by ghosts. But it wasn’t true, we created this story, this way no one would come to our secret place. A few minutes later my bestie Gisi came there. I was really stressed and I couldn’t talk. When I calmed down a bit I explained her everything. She was shocked and she couldn’t believe her ears. Ok, then we both relaxed and thought that we should do something. We made a plan. We would catch the real robbers, take them to the police and explain them everything. The problem was how could be catch them? Even the cops can’t find them. I told Gisi that maybe this wasn’t such a really good idea.
“Do we have any other choice?” She asked me.
Silence. We both weren’t talking. Ok then, I told her, “Let’s do it.”
We had a lot of adventures. We went to the bank, we investigated, went to different places, found clues, but not the robbers. At the same time I was in search from the police. We had to work quicker. But what were we supposed to do? We are just kids, and the robber, God knows who he is. For a moment we thought to give up, but then I remembered that when we were at the bank we saw a man in black, with 3 big bags, putting them in a car. We went immediately to the bank, and after we escaped the guards we went in the camera room. From the outside camera we saw the number of the car plates. We couldn’t believe it! It was the car-plate of Era’s father, our friend. He was going to the airport. He was the robber! We both were shocked, Era’s father Mr. Adams was going to the airport. We called the police and explained them everything and a few minutes later we were told that Mr. Adams was caught by the police. We were sorry but there was nothing we could do. We told the police everything and we were given medals for bravery. What an experience!

It’s Monday morning and I wake up, get dressed, brush my teeth and come down to eat breakfast. I hear a voice saying: “Good morning Marild!” I know this voice, I say to myself. It has brought the newspaper like he always does.
“Nothing special today”, it says calmly.
I get the newspaper and pet him softly. Then I finish my bowl of cereal and I am ready to go to work. Everyday I take my dog to work. Oh… I forgot to tell you… I work as a chef in a beautiful restaurant of the city. During the road I hear animal voices. Everyday I can hear some pigeons swearing to an old man who scares them and they go away. Some others are thankful to one old lady who always feeds them. The houses of the old lady and the old man are next to each other and they always “fight”, whatever. During the way I think how lucky I am to hear all the sounds that the animals make. To hear the animals is like you hear everything, everywhere. I can hear good things, I can hear bad but anyway it’s awesome! This gift given to me from the mother nature is helping me more and more. I always think for this when I go to work.
For example:
One day I was going home when I saw police cars passing by very speed. I thought that something was happening and continued on my way. I saw a raven standing on a tree and asked it! The raven told me the bank was robbed and the police was chasing the thieves. The raven also told me that they (the thief) were hiding in the old factory. Immediately I told the police this thing and the other day I saw in TV that the thieved has been captured.
There are many other uses like this and I always see in the newspapers that the police is thankful to the one who has called. I always thank the animals for helping me.
My point is that the nature gave me this ability for one reason and I am thankful for that. I am destined to help the law and protect this city from “the evil”. I hold myself not to cry sometimes because I am happy. I am the right person to do this. Now animals are my fate, I should serve them and protect them. That’s the main reason I hear them maybe. My love for the animals is increasing every second. I am dedicated to serve them and be their connection to the humans. That’s what I always say to myself and think. Thank you mother nature!

For my opinion the Earth without land and only water would be disgusting. There are people who like water and there are others who don’t. Life would be completely different and gross like salty food with chocolate. First of all the cars wouldn’t exist. The transport of people and things would be by boats and ships. Definitely slower life, old life like an old men, who can’t walk without someone’s help. It would be boring. I mean only water and water and water. It would be the same as to take someone who is keen on technology in a library. Life would be strange, like to be in a house in the middle of a forest, in the middle of night, alone with beasts around it. It would be ugly like my grandmother’s fake teeth. A life without land has no sense. There would be no fruits, no vegetables and definitely no natural things. Unhealthy living, like a teenager who eats only fast food, like a couch potato. Science would be the only hope of humans. Life would be like a science-fiction movie. Like to be in another planet with creatures that you don’t know.
It would be a little bit scary, because underwater world is huge and it has a lot of creatures inside. Imagine to wake up in the morning and to realize that a shark or some of them have eaten your yard. Imagine to wake up in the middle of the night because your house is shaking. Then you realize that a whale is playing with it like a basketball or you realize that you will delicious smoothy in her stomach.
On the other hand it would be interesting. The weather would be cute all the time. And the life would be full of crazy amazing adventures. Imagine you can move your house away and you don’t need to hear your spicy neighbor or his ugly dog.
A life in water and no land would be crazy amazing. Crazy because it would be full of strange things and amazing adventures. Is never bad to try or to know new things. Water life would be like an adventure in space, gross like aliens but beautiful like a sky and universe full of stars and colorful planets.

All humans are born with an animal companion and birds are mine. Every morning when I get up my bird companion comes to my window. She says good morning in a very rythmic way and I love it. I open the window and she helps me pick the clothes very carefully. While I get dressed up she just spreads out a simple message and all her friends that are near come to my room and fix it up. It is really fantastic to see all those small birds working together as one. After I get dressed up and my room is fixed I get some bread and tea and give it to her friends to show them that I am very grateful. Before I got to school I certainly say goodbye to my bird friend but that day she wanted to come with me.
We were walking down the street when another bird turned up. I was surprised and so was she. The strange bird was glaring at my bird-friend and so was my friend. The strange bird said that we should follow her. In fact I started to panic a little. However we started following her. She lead us towards a forest. We kept walking without talking. I was starting to miss those melodic words of my friend. Suddenly the strange bird stopped. We were in the middle of nowhere. I thought we were lost. Silence… only silence. But after 2 minutes all that silence turned into a huge flock of birds. It was like an unbelievable dream. I hadn’t seen that many birds in one place. Then the strange bird started talking. She said “Hey Jane, I am your mother and this is your family.” Until that moment I didn’t know that my friends name was Jane and I didn’t know she had a family either. I was shocked but Jane was more than me. I think she started crying. Her mom asked her to go with them and reunite after that long time. She turned to me. I was feeling very sad but in that moment I remember and expression that my grandmother told me. If you love something you should let it go! So I let her go. I hope she is happy!

It was Sunday morning and I woke up very alarmed. I got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash my face. I had a nightmare... again. I finished my business and went back to my room. “What happened this time?” I jumped at his voice. “Sorios you scared me! How many times do I have to tell you not to sneak up on me like that?! I almost had a heart attack!” I shouted at him.
“I’m sorry, but you were in the bathroom and I couldn’t just come in there so I waited here!” I took a deep breath and forgave me.
“So what happened?” He asked and layed down on my bed. His tail got puffy and I stroked it so he would calm down. He loved it when I did that.
Sorios was my companion. Every human had one. They were animals that had a magical connection to us and protect us from harm, but you actually can feel their pain and they can feel yours. A human that loses his companion can’t survive. Well actually he can, but chances are really low. So I pray it doesn’t happen to me.
Sorios was different because he wasn’t really an “animal”. He was a ring protector meaning he was half wolf and half eagle. Pretty cool.
“It was that shadow again. I don’t know why but I’ve been seeing it even more lately.” I explained. I always nightmares since I was a baby i would wake up and scream-cry. I don’t know why I see all of these nightmares but I am used to it now.
Sorios looked like he wanted to tell me something but couldn’t.
“What’s wrong?” I asked.
“Nothing.”
“Come on Sorios. I know that look.”
Suddenly something hit the window beside my back and broke it.
Sorios jumped immediately and covered me so I wouldn’t get cut with glass.
“We need to go!”
“What?Why?What’s going on?”
“I’ll explain later but we need to go now!” He practically yelled and got a hold of my waist. We flew out of the window to an unknown location. About 13 minutes of flying we landed in some part of the woods.
“Now can you tell me what happened?”
“They’re after us!”
“Who?”
“The shadows.”
“The what?”
“Remember the shadows from your dream?!”
“Those shadows?” My eyes went wide and I couldn’t breath.
My grandma warned me about this and actually trained me for this day. Even though I didn’t know why I saw nightmares I knew that they were important and that they were a warning.
“I know what do you.” I said determined. “I know too.” Said Sorios.
A loud laugh was heard and we turned to the sound. They were here. Sorios jumped in front of me and started fighting. He managed to kill some of them. I was frozen and couldn’t move until on shadow tried to take me out. I kicked it in the face and took a sharp stick and the next moment he was dead.
I started fighting alongside Sorios and had killed almost all of them. I was ready to stab the last one right in the heart when above me I heard a deep chuckle, “We meet again!” I froze. I knew that voice. The shadow took its opportunity but Sorios took the hard punch of the shadow. I screamed and with all my energy launched at the shadow to kill it. It was done but I couldn’t find Sorios anywhere. I looked up. There he was. More correctly there they were. Sorios was in the arms of Him, the shadow I had been seeing in my dreams since I was a baby.
“Oh you poor thing! You really thought you made it?! Hehe poor soul!”
“What do you want?!”
“You.” He simply said.
“What?”
“I want you! Your soul. It’s pure and would give me a lot of strength!”
I gave Sorios a signal that we had between us and he bit his hand making him loosen his grip and Sorios escape.
I don’t know what happened to me but with all that anger I started glowing. Literally glowing.
“Stop it! I can do it! I can finish all of this and put an end to you!” A bright light came out of my hands and I aimed it at his heart. It wasn’t long before he was finished. I dropped down to my knees not believing what just happened. He’s gone, he’s finally gone. I got up and went to hug Sorios who was shockingly staring at me.
“Well that was something.”
We laughed hoping we never had to do something like that ever again.

The scariest story ever!
So yeah... this happened to me! In some points, I thought that I was in a film or something like that, but no! It was definitely true! Whoever reads this, please don’t tell! It’s a secret! I’ve promised! I am telling you this because I consider you my friend and we always tell secrets to friends...well, some of them.
It was a normal night. I just had finished the dishies and I was thinking of watching a film. “La la land” was the perfect choice...despite the fact that nobody was with me. Anyway, I made my decision. I turned the TV on and...this is the point where all started. I saw myself on the news! “What?? Wait, wait...what??” this is all I said with my mouth full of Doritos. I was wanted by the police and I hadn’t done anything. I got closer to the TV because I was not believing my eyes. “This young lady is wanted by the police because she murdered a person last night.” What?...wait, wait, wait...What??” I was shocked! I will never kill a person! Never! Well...I have thought of closing my brother in the bathroom and letting him there til he says to me: “You are smarter and more beautiful to me…”, but never kill a person. Suddenly, I heard someone knocking at the door! I opened it, and...omg...someone, identical with me had a gun and she was pointing it to me but she put it down when she saw me. We were shocked! I first though of not letting her get in the house, but I changed my mind. She told me all her story and you are not going to believe it. She was an alien and she killed that person because her bosses told her so. That person had killed an alien and this is against alien’s laws. I was not sure what I was going to do, but I was definitely not going to do pranks with her...for sure! I gave her food...yeah...human food and let her sleep in my house. When I woke up in the morning, she had left. Luckily I had cameras all over my house and saw what happened. A huge alien spaceship had took her. It was a spectacular ploy! I didn’t do anything! I didn’t went to the cops because I knew that if humans found out, we will fight a battle which we know, we will be the loosers. I know that I sound like a coward, but this is the right decision.
That’s it! Interesting, isn’t it? Well, it was a lot of scarier than interesting. For all of you who want to see an alien, please take that wish out of your “Resolutions list”. Aliens are like humans all in all. Some of them are nice, like the alien I met, but some of them are very mean. Oh yeah...please don’t tell anybody!

It was a normal day and I was watching the news on TV as usual. I was sitting on my arm chair and eating popcorns when suddenly I got shocked by watching my face on the news. The anchor was saying that I had killed two of the Prime Ministers and I was wanted by the police. I was confused as I didn’t really think that something like this could happen as I was not guilty. Minutes after minutes I was becoming even more stressed. I knew only that my girlfriend had always hated the Prime ministers killed but she had never thought of killing them, and as the face one the news was mine I was becoming more and more confused. Suddenly the door knocked and there was an identical version of me outside. I wasn’t understanding anything as the copy was shouting let me in or they are going to catch me! I let the copy enter and I wasn’t understanding cause like me he was refusing to have commited the crime. They were all my words and thought when suddenly he went out of control and was not speaking normally. The copy was nothing else except a stupid robot. I paired his electronic brain with my laptop and I was trying to find something useful on his memory. What I was readying there were all bullshits but I only found the creator’s name there. It was the big company of computers HP. Or was it what I was thinking? And then I found there photos of the Prime Ministers’s death and they were killed by this stupid robot. Fortunately I had worked on the HP company before, so I knew all their job and technology and this kind of robot was not a part of their technology. I was searching on the net for this kind of technology and all the results were on the HP. Luckily I had the number of the director, and I called him. I wanted to get out but it was impossible as they were cops, everywhere. He explained me everything and he told me that that robot was not their technology. They were two possibilities. I was driving mad and I commited the crime or the HP was trying to hide their acts on my name. What should I do. I searched again on the robot’s memory and i was reading the information more carefully. But when I looked again I remembered that HP was not the only name in the world and there was not only one company of technology. What were any other connections to the world HP. Was it only a signiture of a full name. Searching on the net for long hours and no results was really tiring. I tried to call my girlfriend but her number was not reachable. Then I remembered something from many years ago, the time when I met my girlfriend on a speed dating website. Her name there was Hasley Peanut HP. But she had told me it was not her real name, her real name was Jessica Brown and she was from Boston. I searched the net for Hasley Peanut HP and the wikipedia site was opened. Hasley Peanut HP was a Syrian backer cooperating with ISIS and that she had been very successful on her job. I searched for the robot technology and the results were all to her. The girl I had been always thinking was my girlfriend was nothing except a liar and a hacker who used me to reach her aims. I phoned the police and the consulat to explain everything but they were not listening to anything and they found my location on GPS. I was in danger on that was what I was thinking. I could revenge to her befor I go to prison. So I took my laptop and I started changing her information and I put to Google her photo and down that I wrote she has commited the crime. The police was coming. After I hacking process I heard on the news that was a false alarm and the Prime Minister was alive. It was all done by the girl I thought was my girlfriend. She told the truth and then I found out that Hasley HP was her twin sister who was trying to get me in prison. Now I was in a red danger as the police unvelid me for hacking her page. What I was thinking was just a big lie and now I have to spent my next days in prison.

It was a lovely day. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping and me and my friends decided to go camping. We were six friends and my father was going to drive us to our location. When we arrived, we said goodbye to my father and started to set our tents. Elizabeth, Sabrina and Ilva were looking for some woods to start the fire, while me, Peyton and Lucas were waiting for them. I looked around and started to photograph everything I saw with my eyes. The view was amazing. Trees were huge and they were homes to squirrels, owls and different birds. Nearby was a lake and the water was crystal clear. I fell in love with the beauty of it.
Some minutes later, the girls came back with woods and Lucas started the fire. We sat around at some logs we found and started to talk and sing. Then Peyton decided to tell us a scary story and we all agreed. After some hours we decided to go to sleep. We only had two tents and we were six, so we separated three and three. As I was about to fall asleep, an enormous shadow passed my tent. It stopped in front of it and its red eyes were glowing through the tent. I was really scared, so I decided to wake up Lucas and Sabrina. Suddenly, there was a loud scream. We ran out and saw Elizabeth crying and Payton looking like he just saw a ghost. I asked Elizabeth that what happened and she told me that something had took Ilva away. I was sure that that shadow that I saw had to do with all this.
I didn’t wait anymore and told them that we were going to go after that monster and save our friends. They were really scared. So was I, but we had to do something, so we took our flashlights and started our scary journey. But the deeper we went into the forest, the scarier it got. After a long walking we stopped in front of a big cave. We entered and we saw that everywhere were spiderwebs with some big spiders in them. Elizabeth was scared, so she decided to wait outside. As we were walking, we heard a loud noise. We ran at the direction of the noise and when we arrived, we saw the monster. It was big, it had the head and the body of a wolf, but not just any wolf, a zombie wolf and it could walk just like a person. And it had those red eyes that I saw when it stopped in front of my tent. It looked us just like a monster would look at its prey.
I started to distracted it, while Sabrina and Peyton were helping Ilva. As they went out of the cave, it was just me, Lucas and the monster itself. The monster started to come near me and I made Lucas a sign that it was time to end that thing. As the monster opened his mouth to eat, Lucas took out the knife he had with him and killed the beast. I thanked him and we went outside to our friends.
The next morning, I called my father and he came to pick us up. When we told him about everything that happened to us, he didn’t believe us and told us that we were just imagining things. But as we were getting out of the forest, I saw again those red eyes which were ready to attack us…

Switching my life with someone else is the hardest thing ever. But switching my life with someone famous is totally a different thing. Anyway it is still hard. I have everything I want in my life. So, who in the Earth have something more?
Goku!
I know! Some people don’t know him and he isn’t a person at all but he is famous for most of the children, including me. I was grown up watching “Dragon Ball Z” and I dreamed every night being like him, flying, having power and saving the Earth. So maybe, this is time to complish a child’s dream.
It is Sunday! Oh, I love Sundays. It is the best day to switch your live whith someone else. I wake up, wear my red clothes (T-shirts and pants) and put the black belt on. Then I go in front of the mirror to see myself and I don’t see anything at all. I forgot we are in the real life and I don’t exist. I am only an animation, only a paint. At least people can see me. and I can see myself to. I have short black hair, I am tall, and I look like I am going on a karate course. I have a wife and a child named Gohan and this day is going to be super fun.
I remember from the last day when I was “me” that a bad guy came to town. So being Goku was the best choose ever. This guy’s name was Rex.
I went out in the street and everything looked like dessert. People were gone, and some of the buildings were destroyed. I took a deep breath and when I opened my eyes I found my self on the air...flying. OMG! I started running, and moving. I went so high that I can see all the city under my feet. And there it was...Rex! He was totally blue and he was destroying other buildings. Like all the other monsters I knew that all he wanted was to have power and to be the king of the world. I have only one day to destroy him, so this was the perfect time for a face to face. He was uglier than I expected. We didn’t talk at all because we started fighting. I made a ball of fire with my hands and I threw it in front of him. It didn’t kill him so I needed a bigger ball. I remembered what Goku did when he wanted some power. He put his hand up and ask for help. This was a way to collect power. I did it the same because I was him and I could do it and of course I did. I collected the power and I made the biggest ball of fire ever. I didn’t knew people still belived at Goku as much as I did when I was younger… And there I was, as a hero! I destroyed Rex and then the sky became clearer, the people came out. Suddenly the buildings were new and everything became so beautiful. I found my self in the middle of people watching me with happiness. I was so happy to be Goku. And if at first I choosed to be him because I wanted power, now I knew that I was wrong. Happiness on people’s eyes gave me more power that any other famous could. My dream come true!

Cristiano Ronaldo is my idol. I’ve loved hi since I was a child beause he had never give up despite the fact that he has had a lot of problems on his life since childhood. He has loved being a football player since he was a kid just like I do. I would do anything to be a boy just because they can play football and turn it in a career. When he was a child he threw a chair to his teacher and when the pupils asked him why did he do that he answered that the teacher disrespected him and thats why. He is just like me, he describes my personality and with this sentence I mean that if anyone does anything that can put you aotomatically down, then it’s your turn to do the “karma” thing. He wasn’t born rich but with his talent and dedication he became one. He isn’t perfect because he has made a lot of mistakes in his life but anyway I don’t have to mention them. Every mistake or wrong desicion is a lesson learnt. I would switch lives with him just because he is a very strong man, a very strong son and a very strong father. He’s not just a footballer player like all the world knows. He is living his life with the passion of what he loves the most, football. While I can’t live my live doing what I mostly love, drawing; singing & dancing. Unfortunatly I’ve been born in a place where without enough money or enough buddies that you know you cant realise your dream. Even if you follow your dream, even if u’re the best on doing what you really want, no one cares. I would love to switch lives with him because at least he wasn’t born in Albania, where no one knows what art is. He was born somewhere where your voice can be heard and your talent can be appreciated. My passion is football but my only love is drawing. It’s like the best way to express your feelings when no one cares or no one listenes. Art is a way of survival, and art never came fro happiness, be sure for that. I’ve been born in a country where all the broken dreams go. Do you wanna be a singer? You can’t. You wanna be a dancer? Nope, you cant. And at least, do you wanna be a famous painter? Forget it! No one has the ability to know what exactly art means. There are some people, but a few of them. Ronaldo had been living with his dream since he was little and he actually realised it no matter what happened, he was way too talented. While me? I’ve been wanting to realise my dream since I was five years old and I’ll always want to realise it but I know I’ll never do it. No one understood me and no one will ever do it. Anyway, that’s how life goes. You can want a lot of things and you can never have them. So everytime I think for motivation, I think bout him. He never gave up. Anyway I’ll tryna be positive because being sad is a waste of time. No one is you and that’s your power. Don’t forget to love yourself. There’s always a way to solve the problems. Anyway we should follow our dreams no matter what (Well that’s too easy to say though). Do want you want to do and focus on your goals, because in the end of the day will understand that your happiness matters, and the most important thing…YOU matter! Are u happy with yourself? No, you’ll never be if you give up and dont take the risk. What if there’s light in the end of the tunnel? what if you will be given a chance to prove your abilities and follow & realise your dream? What if there’s someone who really cares and is interested in you and what you can do, how far you can go? What if?

Everyone in this world has his idol. For me my idol is very important because she is what I love to be in my future. My idol is Ellen Degeneres and if I wanted to switch lives with a famous person I absolutely would choose my idol Ellen Degeneres. I choose her because she is my idol and her lifestyle is what I want to have in my life. If I could switch lives with Ellen for one day I would do everything to be like her, a lovely person, funny comedian, talented host, presenter and the most important thing, humanitarian. The first thing that I would do I would posted on Instagram a funny post to make people happy :-) ! I will call in telephone all her famous friends. In the evening I would host her show “Ellen”. “Ellen Show” is the most famous show in the world with 27 “Emmy Awards” and with many famous awards like “People Choise Awards” “Teen Choise Awards” ect. In her show I would be the host of her show. I would invite a lot of famous singer and actor including: Adele, Taylor Swift, Sofia Vergara, Justin Timerland, Britney Spears, Fith Harmony, Leonardo Dicaprio etc. With them I would play games, tratidional games of “Ellen Show”, I would talk with them about their career new songs, album, new movie ect. With them I would share the very important messages for all the children around the world, the message will be like: “Every children in this world is special in hisself and it doesn’t matter where you come from, your dreams are valide and in valuable.” The last thing that I would do is to help everyone in this world and to make charities because we are humans and we will help each-other. Oh I forgot it I would say to my family that “I made it” and I made my dream come true. because a life without dreams, the world will be empty. “What goes around, comes around”

“Bad Cinderella”
All the fairy tales start with: “Once upon a time…”. But after that they don’t know the end or they know but they are lied from this. They did once to me and I’m writing that part to you.
And after ten days of anxiety, she decided to go to that theme park called “Middle Dead” in London. Cinderella was allowed to go there after the midnight or the magic will disappear. She was dressed in black because the Prince sent her a letter where was written: “Be dressed in black. The Hell doesn’t like white color.” Because her cookie (cookie=Prince) know that she had a white soul. After all she didn’t know that this wasn’t the last letter.
Cinderella was waiting till midnight. And after a long time waiting, she fell asleep. The beauty of Prince saw a nightmare, a midnightmare, I would say. She saw a black widow biting her heart. And the widow said to her: “ you are mine because you are a lie to him!”...
The Big Bang cracked 12. She woke up and started the journey to “Middle Dead” Park. It was a long street, dark night with lots of black cats in the rubbish bins. But she wasn’t scared, because she was going to meet her true love.
After 31 minutes, she was in front of the Park’s door. It is a huge park and none dared to go there, because it has a frightening love story. Her cookie showed it to her while they first meet in Palace Ball. Even though she didn’t understand why he was telling her that story during a dance called “Lust love dance”.
However, she entered in the Park, in the Dark Park. Hearing only some bats, walking only with the Moon’s light, she felt scared at a moment. She found a chair, a wooden chair. She set down waiting for her dear cookie.
After a long time she stood up and behind the chair she found a letter (the second letter). (4:31 am). It was writed with blood. It said: “FOR HER! 1,000,000,000 goodbyes and I’m sorry!” She was shocked but more when she found even her missing high heel made special from her with glass.
Cinderella understood everything. She was destined, end the story. They story Prince told her in Ball. She walked through the forest, dressed in black with the letter in one hand and the shoe in the other one. All those memories around her: “ I will always love you! If i give you the true love kiss, would you wake up?! I’m your cookie and….I will never forget you and if I’m lost, I will find firstly you then myself!”
She said: “He waited 10 days for me and now I wll be with him for the entire life”.
Cinderella found herself in front of River Thames. In tears, she jumped into the river..
She completed the prophecy of the love story. Now Cinderella belongs to that black widow.
THE END!

Nothing was important now! My mum was gone...my sister too. I was alone! The earth was on fire. Aliens were coming. I was hiding, in a frightening cave. Then...I started thinking, what happened a day before….
My mum was in a meeting out of town. My sister ws sleeping earlier that night. I? I was studying hard for tomorrow’s exam. One of the hardest, maybe the hardest. It was really important because from that exam, my life was depending , my profession and my future too.
I was sitting on the sofa, with a bunch of books in my hands. Suddenly, the door knocked…. But who could be? The clock was reading 2AM! Slowly, I got up and opened it. When...something really strange and weird happened. The person standing in front of me was me! So absurd! I couldn’t believe my eyes! I was ready to ask her.. But she with a serious expression said:
“ Melisa! I am you and I came from the future! I don’t have much time...I know it’s really weird, but I had to come back in time to tell you something really important!”
She started disappearing….”Oh no! The time is over! Melisa! The book, don’t touch the book! The earth in your hands!”
And then she was gone. But...which book? Where was the book? I went in the kitchen and drank a glass of water. My exam was tomorrow and I was disturbing myself with something imaginary! That my head was creating! Of course I was dreaming!
I sat on the sofa and started studying again. But, I had forgotten my notebook! I got up and started searching in the bookcase, when suddenly, a book fell from the shelf. I haven't seen that book before. It was really heavy and full of weird pictures. I opened it and saw a spell. I started reading it:
“If you are reading this spell, it means the earth will be hell. Aliens will come from everywhere. The human race will be gone from this universe!”
Nothing happened! This was the book that would destroy the world. I started laughing. Went to bed to sleep. That was the most exhausting day!
The next day….
I woke up and everything that happened last night was like a dream. I opened the window and the sun was warming my face. The birds were singing beautifully! I got ready for school. I closed the door of the house and started walking.
Suddenly, a big earthquake started. My legs were falling. I embraced my sister so hard like it was the last moment I would see her. The earthquake finished. We were frightened and then started to walk again.
Then, my phone rang. It was mom.
“ Mom! Good morning! Did your meeting finish?”
And she said, “Melisa! I love you, my sweetheart! I love your sister too! Don’t you ever forget me! The world is ending!”
And the battery phone was over. I couldn’t believe it! My mom, my dear mom was gone! A huge cloud started covering all the sky. It was an alien ship! Some blue things started getting people...when no! My sister! They took my sister! I started crying...and running! I found a cave under a bridge and thought everything….what was going on? Then I remembered!
It was the book! Fire was everywhere...human beings killed! I was alone. I started running to my home. I went up from the stairs. My house was totally ruined, but finally I found it, I found the book! Then under the spell another sentence was written:
“If you want to prevent all of this, find the time machine in the basement!”
I went to the basement and a machine was there. I sat in it and I started walking in time…
It was night...2AM...The night before! I did everything that happened with me and wished that yesterday Melisa was better than me! I was under my bed waiting for the war to end! Maybe I did the same thing...I was so stupid!
Then I heard birds singing again, felt the sun warming my hand! It was right yesterday Melisa, was better than me! My sister was sleeping still. I called my mom. She was okay too! I have never been better! The peace was everywhere I ran from home and went to the city bridge. I put a rock with a rope into that awful book and threw it away in the sea. Hope no one does what I did! But we must live today. We must love our family like it’s the last day of our lives. If you are still there...what are you waiting? Go kiss your boyfriend/girlfriend. Go embrace your family!

Nearly summer… End of the tiring long, long last year of high school. That very week when my life changed completely, was the week when I had all my final exams. I was studying that night really hard to prepare for my math exam. I was in my cozy pajamas, sitting on my bed, covered with at least 10 books of algebra, geometry, and my notebooks. My eyes were getting tired and tired as the clock was ticking on the wall.
I thought of closing them just for a few short minutes and then go over again revising my messy notes, when I heard the door knock. Surprised because I wasn’t expecting anybody for a visit (I had made it clear to everyone in my family to leave me at my own pace to study in the garage of our home), I walk straight into the door. Opening the door with a quiet movement, I never in a million years had it come in my thoughts that I would be standing in front of that person… What person are you thinking?? A human with a monkey face? A mermaid? A prince with fair hair and blue clear eyes? Nooo...it was ME.
Well, at least I thought it was me. It should be me, I mean it could be me...with curly long ombre hair, green eyes and full lips (oh wait have I gone to the surgeon?!) Damn.
“Who are you?....”
“ Listen, I know this is going to seem weird, but I had to come back in time to tell you this.” she said and grabbed my hand.
“No wait, who the hell are you? Ouch!”, I was trying to get off her.
“Shut that mouth girl, take off those nasty pants and come with me. NOW. I am going to save your life.”
“Save me?!? Are you kidding?! Why should anybody in this world try to save me? Is any bomb going to explode under my bed? Or is my head going to because of algebra?”
“Oh gosh, I had forgotten that I was too stubborn at high school.”
“If you haven't already seen inside my room, I am trying to study for a very very important exam so mind your own business and leave me alone. Please”, I shouted.
“Okay little girl. Let start things over said “future me” with a quiet voice and then she closed the door. “Go to your bed and put some order because trust me, you don’t need to study that hard. You will pass the exam.”
“Pass the exam? How do you know it?” I asked in an excited and proud tone.
“Oh dumb you. As you might have noticed, I come from the future and technically I am you. Well are more beautiful you, without those ugly braces.” she said looking down on me.
“Thank you for the compliment. Now explain further. “
“Ahh right. Why did I come to you? As I said I am going to save your life. Let me tell you a secret from your future.”
“Here comes the spoiler alert,” I interrupted her.
“Don’t start with your ironic comment, darling. The istuation is going to get really serious. FOCUS!”
“Okay, okay. Don’t shout at me.”
“Where were we?”
“You saving my life. Blah, blah, blah.”
“While you are studying, well in fact in 30 minutes, your brother is going to cut his wrist.”, that silenced her and gave me a smile.
“Wait...what?... What are you talking about idiot?”
“Easy there. Yes this is true. He will. He will cut his wrist and I swear to you that your life is going to be deeply miserable.”
“No. Nooooo. You are lying to me.” My cheeks were too hot and I could feel tears filling my eyes.
“I have no reason to lie to you. IN fact, I came to prevent this, my love.”
“But why?”, I said desperately.
“I will because...I have thought a lot about that through the years but never found the right answers until yesterday. He is doing drugs. And the reason is….YOU.”
“Me?” I blinked my eyes. What is she talking about? I have been really great with my little brother. I have played with him a lot, helped him with his studies, took him out with my friends….
“Yeah that has been when he was 10. And these 3 years, you have never had a real conversation with him. I can read your thoughts, darling.”
“You are totally right, “ I started crying. “I have been really busy with school and hadn’t time for him to know what he is doing, who he is going out with….”
“Doing drugs. Going out with a bunch of bad guys and girls. You need to save him. Stop him from cutting himself to save his life and yours. Because you will blame yourself for this. You will blame yourself each and every day of your life, even though you will go to university and get a job with a great salary.”
I couldn’t believe this. I couldn’t believe that he could die within the next 5 minutes. I left me immediately and ran inside the house. Silence...The lights were off and my parents had gone sleeping. I went upstairs running as a frantic chicken. I found my brother in the bathroom with a razor in his hands.
“STOOOOOP!”
“What….?”
“Stop what you are doing. Stop it, stop it, stop it. Nick, you are my little brother, I have never been there for you. I have only wanted to pass my exams and go to university and leave this house, leave this town. But I have acted selfishly. I am sorry. I should have advised you for life, I should have talked to you, let you open up to me. I am a bad sister.”
He was horrified. He had turned white as a ghost. His hands started trembling as he started crying. He came to me and hugged me.
“You are my best sister. I am so sorry for acting like a fool. Thank you for preventing me from doing this shit.”
We both cried, our chests being full of love for each other.
That night...Well that night wasn’t ordinary. It was a turning point in my life. I learned that I needed to find a balance between everything and that my brother meaned a lot ot me. The next day, I sat in the exam and as a little bird told me, I passed it. I went to university and fortunately after that, an important and successful company offered me my dream job. And… that time I knew I had everything. A job to proud of and also a brother with who to share my enjoyment and happiness.
