A Day Like Pie: Hard to Make

Jude Sears, age 9

Fortis Academy

The disco ball was super shiny, distracting anything nearby. I hadn’t noticed Chad the dragon already breakdancing on the shiny floor now covered in orc slime. I watched the orcs stomping their squishy feet across the big tile floor. Luckily, I had an army of allies hidden behind a wall. They swing in. I actually found a flaw in this plan. Not me nor my troops could dance! I had a trick up my sleeve though. Everyone watched an orc, copied the moves to slay it, and used the moves against Chad. Our plan worked, and Chad fell over in despair. My family came over, one by one, and my day was like pie. Hard to make.

Give Girls and Women a Chance

To all men,

I confess that women have very little freedom. Boys make fun of them, unlike me. Men think that they can do whatever they want and that they are superior. Boys can’t own the whole wide world. Give girls and women a chance.

Once, there was a man in a mech. He lives in the future. He wants to help people in the past. Every day, he takes his notebook and his 3-D pen. He writes about the future and throws his notebook and pen into the past. The people wonder whose journal it is.

Mr. Mushroomface’s Brother

By: Jude Sears, 10

When Mr. Mushroomface landed on Mars, his nose was filled with the strong scent of a cherry bush that was full of ripened cherries. He knew he was on Mars because he saw giant ice mountains the size of Mt. Everest. They reminded him of “3-D teepees.” Then he found a martian that looked like his long-lost brother. He went up to him and said, “Brother! I’ve found you! Come back to the spaceship with me!” But the martian spoke in a martian language, which Mr. Mushroomface could not understand, and his eyes turned red. This was not Mr. Mushroomface’s brother. Mr. Mushroomface started to run away. The martian, who couldn’t run that fast, sent a giant moonsoon cloud to chase after him because the cloud could move fast. The moonsoon hurled grey meteor-sized moon rocks onto Mr. Mushroomface. The rocks ripped his spacesuit, so he had to get a new one.
