Dark Matter S1 E5

Spoilers

“Worldless”

Dark Matter’s fifth episode was another banger.

Between this, Silo and Hulu’s Paradise, sci-fi television is hot again.

Jason and Amanda moved through different universes, learning along the way about what they need to do to try and find their way to Jason’s original world. Meanwhile, they are encountering a variety of worlds where that world’s Jason had something tragic happen.

One world was filled with a deadly disease, and Jason found Daniela sick and dying, after they took away her Jason. Another world, Daniela and Charlie reacted to Jason in a terrible way because their Jason was supposed to be in prison.

As they met Blair, from Amanda’s reality, they learned more about the Box. Blair had gone through so much inside the Box that she simply could not go back into it at that moment. She could not face the differing universes and the stress that built on her inside the Box. She warned Amanda that she needed to know what she wanted for herself, instead of just following Jason.

meanwhile, Jason 2 has been moving in and out of the Box easily, including returning to his home universe to grab some more of the drug. He told Leighton that, after he leaves the reality, Jason planned on sealing the Box’s entrance, essentially preventing anyone from coming into the universe. He knew that Jason and Amanda had made it into the Box a few days before and he is looking to keep Jason from finding his way home.

Four more episodes to go for season one.

By Unknown

Once upon a  time there was a girl named Razzy with brown hair, long lashes and rosey cheeks who loved to make new friends and loved to play volleyball. It was her everyday thing to practice in her backyard and go to her games because she was on a travel team so she loved to practice a lot. Traveling teams are fun because you get to travel and see new things and meet new people and maybe go out to eat after, and also get cool colorful jerseys. 

One day she was at her volleyball game and her and her whole team was so happy because they won their game and her mom offered to take the whole team out to eat. Razzy and her volleyball team went out to eat at Chuck ‘E’ Cheese and were sitting down and eating pizza in a hurry so they could all go play some games and  get a lot of tickets so they could get cool toys with them when the lights went out. Everyone was in shock and couldn’t see anything and then the lights went back on. Everyone was confused why the lights went out for 20 sec and then went back on, but they ignored it and continued to eat their pizza so they could go play some fun games to get a lot of tickets.

Later that day when it got dark and they were done eating and playing games, they were all getting their prizes and saying ‘bye’ and  ‘thank you’ on their way out to the people who worked there, Razzy’s mom, and Chucky the mascot, and while Razzy’s mom was paying and then they were walking out the door, Chucky yelled, “Wait let me walk you guys out.” Jen thought he was just trying to be nice and said “okay”. As they walked out the door Chucky said “ I hope everyone had fun,” 

Razzy smiled and walked to the car. When they got to the car they were walking to the other side to get in and, as they opened the car door, Chucky quickly kicked a rock by the tire and grabbed a needle out of his pocket and popped the tire and it made a big *BOOM* and everyone jumped, even Chucky, as he went down to look at the tire. Jen went over to the other  side of the car to look at it and she said “Oh no, the rock popped my tire.” She looked stressed.

  Chucky said, “I can call someone for you if you would like?” 

Jen nodded and said “ that would be nice thank you” 

“ Of course,” Chucky said and walked inside and called someone to help her with her tire.

After the tire was done Chuck came to tell them bye while he waved and went back inside to close up. Razzy and her mom waved bye back and went home 

The next day Razzy woke up to her mom making pancakes,eggs, and bacon for breakfast so she hurried to her room to get ready really quick so she could go and eat breakfast. After getting ready, she sat down at the table ready to eat.  After she was done eating she went into her room to watch Tiktok on her phone for a little  but videos of Chucky kept coming up. She ignored it and was making a Tiktok video, and after she was going for a walk the all the sudden this random girl she didn’t know with long blond curly hair ,green eyes, and jeans on with a pretty white shirt that was whiter than milk, says, “ You’re the girl people are talking about aren’t you? Is your name Rozzy?” 

Rozzy was in shock because she didn’t know her.

 “Uhhh yeah? What do you mean? What are people talking about? And also do I know you? “

  “Oh yeah, sorry about that. My name is Sally and it was about just how you took your whole volleyball team after the accident there.” 

“What accident?” Razzy looked at her confused.

 “Well this girl our age and her mom were kidnaped by him and they found them in his basement. They weren’t hurt or anything but if they hadn’t gotten them out soon they didn’t know what would’ve happened. I don’t know if he would always try to keep them there for longer by doing stuff like hiding their car keys under the car or something like that when he saw them. And he just got out of jail” she is in shock while Sally said “Well gotta go bye,” 

Rozzy was thinking about how their tire popped that one time and ran home to tell her mom and her mom called the cops to tell them just to keep a lookout, and their    life went back to normal after that and never went there again. The end.

Girl in the Picture (2022)

January 31

January 31st is here and the 2025 Genre-ary comes to a close with a Netflix documentary called Girl in the Picture, which was based on the books A Beautiful Child and Finding Sharon by Matt Birkbeck.

According to IMDB, “A young mother’s mysterious death and her son’s subsequent kidnapping blow open a decades-long mystery about the woman’s true identity and the murderous federal fugitive at the center of it all.

This was an excellent documentary covering the tragic story of a young girl named Sharon Marshall. Or at least, it was a young girl who was known as Sharon Johnson. She had been abducted as a child and then raised as the daughter of Franklin Delano Floyd, a kidnapper, murderer and sexual abuser.

Sharon suffered years of abuse at the hands of her “father.” He would use her to make money by making her strip and offering her for sex to other men.

The story also included a boy named Michael, who had been kidnapped by Floyd as well. The boy disappeared and the question about what had happened to Michael was part of the film.

One of the best things about this doc is that all of the mysteries surrounding these people are solved. A lot of times these docs do not have a sense of closure because mysteries are left unsolved. Here though, thankfully, everything is revealed.

It is such an emotional story of pain and loss, but it also gives a great story about how people can help by doing whatever you can.

Girl in the Picture is available on Netflix.

And with this, the 2025 Genre-ary comes to a close.

EYG Favorite Comic Cover of the Week

January 30

Todd! It was White Savior!

I was talking with Todd at Comic World tonight and I was joking about the old issue #3 curse. It seemed as if the independent series for a short while always missed #3 for me, and I tried to remember that book that Drew had taken home that was supposed to be mine. I couldn’t for the life of me think of the name of it. I kept thinking The Last… something. I knew it was a four issue series from Dark Horse, but I couldn’t place the title. Finally, on the way back home, the word WHITE popped in my head and then it was just a matter of moments before I got to White Savior. Strangely enough, it still did not feel right, but I checked the internet and it sure was. That was a real relief getting that off my mind.

This week’s medalists are a FIRST!

Bronze Medalist

Mark Spears Monsters #3

Variant Cover E

Cover Art by Mark Spears.

What a cool cover with all of the monsters around the witch, who looks spectacular. This was in honor of a Marvel series of covers from a few years ago and it is awesome. Godzilla is up there too. Mark Spears is on fire.

Silver Medalist

Mark Spears Monsters #3

Cover A

Cover art by Mark Spears

Frankenstein’s Monster is adorning this cover looking as if he in the electric chair. Will that get rid of Frankie? I don’t know but this cover A is another amazing piece of artwork from Mark Spears. I wonder what is next….?

Gold Medalist

Mark Spears Monsters #3

Variant Cover G Metal Cover

Cover Art by Mark Spears

Absolutely stunning. Despite dropping a pretty penny for this rare cover, I think it is worth it. I love Jaws and this cover captures the terror of the man-eater perfectly. Mark Spears makes history for our site. This is the first time that the same artist has all three medals in one week. It is also the first time that three covers of the same issue placed in the top three. We had Spider-Gwen place in two medal position once last year, but this is the first time for all three places. It is not quite February yet and I do not think anyone will be catching Mark Spears for the Cover Artist of the Year from EYG.

Heaven is a Traffic Jam on the 405 (2016)

January 23

I found another Academy Award winning film to watch today for the Genre-ary. This won the Oscar for Best Documentary Short in 2018. The title had caught my attention at first as did some of the artwork that went with the promotion for Heaven is a Traffic Jam on the 405.

The short told the story of Mindy Alper, a 56-year old artist, who had spent years suffering from a variety of mental illnesses including acute anxiety, mental disorder and depression. She had been committed to mental institutions, spending around 10 years institutionalized. During that time, Mindy would receive electro shock therapy in an attempt to get past the mental states she was in.

She spent much of the time unable to speak and scared about everything in life. Much of the struggles could be traced back to a combative relationship with her father. The film does not come out and say it, but there are some implications about the relationship that might be the reason for many of the problems.

The doc short showed the progress Mindy had made and how her struggles with mental illness was something she would have to overcome on a daily basis. It showed how she used her art to really get some of the emotions out, giving them a place to go.

Some of the papier mache statues she had made, in particular one of her favorite psychiatrist, were absolutely stunning. I could not take my eyes off of these pieces of art. Her drawings were used to illustrate much of the doc as well. This art truly told a powerful story.

Mindy was a complete inspiration and, despite her life’s downfalls, she has found something that has allowed her to express her feelings.

I can see the reason why this was an Oscar winner.

Dead Man Called Bob

A Dead Man Called Bob                                            By: MR. Pineapple

Bob was an American football player for the Baltimore Ravens, he was an offensive lineman. Everyone in the city adored Bob because of his fame. Bob has a family, a wife, two daughters, and a son. He’s had a perfect life but it all came downhill one night after the Ravens were playing against the Packers.

Bob said

” What else could go wrong?”

Bob was driving home from the game when somebody shot his tires and shot Bob in the head. 

“Help me,” 

Bob said. Bob lay lifelessly on the ground while his soul left his body. Over time Bob’s family ended up moving houses just in the morning. Bob’s soul had stayed in his home. Somebody had moved into his home and Bob was not happy about it at all he was gonna do everything to get them out no matter what!

 Danielle

    Danielle had just found a home on White Street. It was a pretty decent home with a balcony, just what she had wanted. Danielle had a bad feeling about it, though. Right when she walked through the door, there was a breeze, as if it was windy, but the wind wasn’t even there. It was as if she had walked through a person, but that couldn’t happen, could it?   She had thought about it.

No this can’t be happening, I must be dreaming,” she said.  

 That night when she was heading to bed, an awful smell came from the bedroom.

Ugh what’s that disgusting smell, I’m about to gag,” she said. She also noticed that all her clocks stopped at 3:07 a.m.

Bob 

When Danielle had moved in, Bob had spread a terrible smell throughout the house, but, of course, it didn’t work.” 

She may not be reacting now, but she will later,”

 he said with a grin. Bob had tried scratching noises, but all that did was make her gasp. Later that night, Bob started pulling her legs and blanket, and she SCREAMED.  Then an idea hit Bob so hard that he almost had his pants fall off but ghosts don’t have pants, do they?  Bob’s idea was that when she had family coming over, he would create a scene in front of them and make it where her family doesn’t believe her at all and then possess her, and then her family will believe her but she will always be gone.

 “This is such a good idea.”He said

In reply 

But this isn’t the Bob I know,” He replied.

Danielle,

“This house is so creepy”, she said “ Maybe I should ask Mama?” She replied. 

Danielle was going to ask her momma if she would come over to see what happened, but she didn’t know that Bob would make it and that nothing would happen while her mom was there. Danielle called her momma and said 

“s

       “ Momma, you need to come. I’m scared. Help me,” she said. “Okay, sweetie, I’ll come, but it better be worth my while.,    ” she said. Trust me, momma, it will.”

When Danielle’s mom got there nothing happened,

“Honey, nothing is bad here, it’s perfect.” She said,

“Mom, I swear I got pulled in the legs, scratched, and my hair pulled,” Danielle said. 

“Sweetheart, I believe you but, nothing’s happening,” Mom said

Bob

As soon as Danielle’s mom got there, Bob made it seem like nothing was wrong. It made it seem like nothing was wrong with that house. However, Bob didn’t want to possess her, only because that would take a lot of energy. Of course he wanted to get her out, but he’s running out of ideas. 

“ I really need to get her out without possessing her, hmmmm, maybe just keep trying to scare her out.” Bob said 

Bob had waited till her mother had left to start scaring her only then she couldn’t get her mother to believe her. If Danielle’s mother had seen what was going on and would have stayed.

 “ I need to try harder.” Bob had said

Bob had tried to start rattling her bed and shaking her bed to frighten her but nothing happened.

Danielle

        “ Nothing had happened when momma was here.” Danielle had said. 

Danielle had thought to herself “ Maybe I need to stand my ground?” Danielle said. If Danielle had stood her ground maybe whatever this was would stop. As soon as Danielle had got home from work she had started making signs that she was going to keep her ground. It had seemed like this spirit and knew what she was doing so he stopped kinda as soon as he got the message. 

BOB

Bob had noticed what she was trying to do so Bob got the message and gave up. Bob decided to give up. 

 “ I don’t even know why I had tried, I knew someone was going to end up moving in. I feel bad.” Bob said.

 Bob had decided to make himself shown and say he was sorry to Danielle and say why he did this to her. 

Danielle had gasped when she saw Bob and asked why he had been doing this to her. 

“Why are you doing this to me, what did I do to deserve this.” Danielle had asked 

“ I don’t know, I guess I had gotten mad when I saw someone had moved into my home. I am so sorry. I just didn’t want anyone moving into my home.”

“It’s okay, I understand how you feel, I would probably feel the same way if I saw somebody had moved into my home too.” Danielle had replied 

“But this is over right?.” Danielle had asked 

“Yes this is over, I’ll even tell you what, I will watch over you  and protect you.” Bob said

“What happened to you?” Danielle asked

 “Someone had shot me, leaving me where I was as I died and my soul came here when I had passed.” Bob said

“ Well I guess thank you for apologizing to me and have a good life Bob.” Danielle said

The Nerd and the Jock

The Nerd and the Jock

By Nana Davis  

“You’ve been staring at number 27,” Nila and Nela says 

“Is that?” Nele says

“NEL!” Nila says

“NO!! It’s not him. Is it?” I say

“It is, girl,” Nela says

The cheerleaders returned to cheering. I was with my friends Nela and Nila at the football game. I’m not that popular, but I have a crush on Nel, the most popular guy, and number twenty-seven. 

I was sitting with the cheerleaders because Nila is the cheer captain. I looked at the ground, embarrassed, as the game started again, and my attention returned to Nel. The cheerleaders returned to cheering. After the game, I stayed seated, but Nela and Nila didn’t like that.

“Come on go talk to Nel~,” Nila says in a teasing tone

“No, I shouldn’t,” I say

“Come on,” Nela says in a whiny voice

I reluctantly get up, and they push me toward Nel. Then I see Tammy talking to Nel. Tammy is the most popular girl. Every guy has a crush on her, but she’s a big bully. She’s done so much to my friends and me. But Nel sees me as I try to turn around and walk away, and he comes over to me. I try to turn around and run, but Nel grabs my hand.

“Hey,” Nel says

“Hi’ i say flustered

“Come with me,” Nel says

“Fine,” I say.

Nel pulls me under the bleachers and leans against a pole for the bleachers.

“So……… there’s an after party……. Do you want to come with me?” Nel says as he lets go of my hand but hesitates like he doesn’t want to. 

“Me, come with you?” I mumble but Nel hears me 

“Yes, you Jena come with me,” he says itching the back of his neck

“Ok,” I say

“You’ll come!” Nel says

“Just one question,” I say

“What is it,” Nel says

“Did you invite me as a friend or?” I say

“Uuumm” Nel says “No not really, I guess,” he says unsure of himself

“Do I need to change?” I replied

“No, unless you want to,” he says

“I’ll be there,” I replied. I start to walk off

“See you there,” Nel says and I nod

“See you,” I say

Nel grabs my hand and says 

“Unless you want to catch a ride…. with me?” 

“If that’s ok with you,” I say, smiling and he takes my hand. We start walking to his car. He opens the door for me and I get in and I go to buckle but then Nel says. 

“Let me get that for you” as he takes the buckle and buckles it for me. Then he walks around to the driver’s seat and I see my friends watching. As I look at the floor embarrassed. Nel sees that I’m embarrassed and says

“Look at me” I look up as his eyes lock on mine, then I blush and look down again. Nel sees me blushing and says,

“You’re cute when you blush” I blush more. As Nel stops at the party and holds my chin and pulls my head up to look at him. Then I blush more. Nel asks

“Are you ok, princess” I blush again and he kisses my cheek then I blush more.

“Sorry I should have asked” I quickly stop him and say

“No!” I look down “Don’t apologize” The other football players see Nel and me and come over to his car and say

“You finally asked her, well you two do look good together,” number 10 says

“So what do you think of Nel here,” number 77 says.

“He’s a nice kind,” I say blushing “he sticks out on the field.” The guys chuckle as they realize Nel is blushing two and I  giggle a bit myself.  Nel seems embarrassed as he steps out of the car and opens the door for me I unbuckle and he holds my hand to help me get out of his car. The other players walk around us as we walk into the party. As we walk in there’s an announcement that says excitedly 

“The main couple is here!!!!!!!!!!!!”

My eyes widen as my face goes red. Nel squeezes my hand and looks at me worried. I cling to his side embarrassed. He wrapped his arms around my waist as if to protect me from the people whispering and staring.

“Hey, it’s ok,” Nel says 

I hid` my face in his chest. Tammy sees this and walks over.

“Baby, Nelie poo” she squeaks 

“Dont call me that ever,” nel says  

I snuggle closer, he pulls me away and Tammy gets mad as nel and I go over to the balcony where a full moon, bright stars, and constellations can be seen. As I’m leaning over the rales looking at the sky I turn to point at a star and nel has my favorite flowers daises and roses he clears his throat awkwardly.

“Will you be my girlfriend?” he says

I see Tammy scowling at me and I look back, I’m too shocked to speak and I just nod violently and hug him. After that Nel and I watched the sky for a long time then one of his friends came over.

“Hey, love birds,” his friend says “What are you two up to,”

Nel and I look over at him and shrug.

“The romantic dance for couples is next,” number 71 says

Nel and I get up walk in go on the dance floor and start dancing with the other couples. And he and I stand out because we both have on our clothes from the game. Everyone is looking at us as we dance to the music even Tammy is staring. I know tomorrow at school she will be mad and try something but I’m focusing on my footwork as nel and I dance. At the end of the song, everyone claps for nel and me. And I realize I’m popular now. And more popular than Tammy and she is mad because I found a bf before her and now is more popular than her. My friends Nela and Nila ran over asking a lot of questions.

“Is nel your bf now?” Nila says 

“Wait can you get us with some of his friends, please,” Nela says

“Hold up wait a couple of days maybe sometime this month,” I say kindly

Nel chuckles still holding my waist from dancing as I lean against his chest. After the party, Nel drives me home and as I get out he kisses my hand. Then I kissed his cheek two times. Then he walked me to my door and introduced himself to my family and my parents loved him and praised him. After he stayed for lunch he left and went to his house and I thought what will Tammy do to me tomorrow I thought before I went to sleep. In the morning after I was ready. Nel picks me up for school and carries me, the bride still kisses my cheeks and then blushes.

 I have blood cancer and I’ve had it since I was a baby. I’ve had treatments and I’m doing well right now. I have 3 amazing friends who have helped me this whole time. Currently, I’m at a basketball game that they dragged me to. I’ve always wanted to join but because of my blood cancer, I can’t I have no time and my body can’t handle it yet.

“Rosa!”

“Sorry Tom wait what happened”

“Oh, Rosa, when will you get out of your head? You can’t live in a dream world forever…”

That’s Tom. He’s one of my friends. Tom continued with his Lexshier for ten more minutes with no breaks. Tom has a short buzzcut and brown hair that he dies and lets grow out. By the end of the year, it’s so long it goes to his shoulder, and he repeats the process every year. It’s his look, you could say.

“HEY GUYS!!!”

That girl screaming and running over to me and Tom is my other friend Bella She is sweet and has short blond hair and she is the shortest in our friend group so we help her reach stuff all the time  

“Hey Bella,” I say

  “Hi Bella we saved you a sit. Rosa and I know you’re never on time. you know that’s a bad habit you should have come earlier you always come late to everything. Also, did you see Mary?” Tom says

“Oh no I sadly didn’t see Mary I thought she was with you guys,”

 Bella says as she sits down on the bleachers next to me and Tom.

A few minutes after when all 3 of us were watching the basketball game Mary scars Tom and sits down next to him.

“MARY!” Tom screams 

“Hehe hi, guys sorry I’m late,” 

Mary says as she snickers and looks at us. Mary loves scarring Tom and only Tom for some reason won’t tell us why. we’ve asked before and she only laughs at the question like we should know why already and it’s a silly question. Marry has long well-taken care of black hair almost like a horse she is cold and silly at the same time she is also smart and Marry is my bff she’s also the smartest in the class. As the others talk and mess around all I can think about is how badly I wish I could play too but all I can do is watch the basketball game. I suddenly felt like something was over me and as I looked up I saw it was Gavin, Becka, and Regina. then Gavin pours his water bottle on me and I hear Becka and Regina giggle as I run to the bathroom to clean myself off once I get into the bathroom shortly after Tom’ Bella and Mary follow. Tom sits outside the bathroom to keep watch for them again, but also because he’s a boy and can’t come in.

“Hey, are you ok?” Bella says

“…” I respond with nothing

“Rosa don’t let them get to you they’re losers,” says Mary

“How do you think I feel and does it look like I’m ok how do you expect me to just be fine with this and not let it get to me just leave!” I say in a fit of anger

 “Ok we’ll leave but when you’re ready we’ll be waiting outside the bathroom for you,” Mary says 

“Just leave now!” I say as Mary and Bella both leave. Mary has always been good with handly emotions and her own too she always knows what to do and how to help and Bella is the same way she helps by being there and with her bubbly personality. As I leave the bathroom I see that they are still here Tom, Mary, and Bella sitting outside the bathroom and waiting for me

“Hey I see you decided to come out,” Tom says happily

“Let’s forget about this bad day and all get home I’ll see you guys Monday,” Mary says

“Hey now let’s not end the day bad! let’s get some ice cream at the new place in town and then go home!” Bella says

“Bella I know you are trying to help but it’s best if we go home it’s already so late,” Mary says

“Ok let’s go home,” Tom says

As we all walk out of the school I can’t help but feel like I wish I never had to return. We all walk our separate ways to go home. “Hey Mom I’m back from the game where Dad,” I say

“Your dad’s in the living room dinner will be done soon” 

“Hey Dad I’m back”

“Oh hey there Rosa you snuck up on me,” Dad says

“I’m going up to my room I’m way to tired from watching the game”

  After that Monday the gang hung out one time after the basketball game.

I woke up and did my routine and as I was doing my makeup and about to leave for school my elbo hurt every time I moved then I felt like I couldn’t get up it was like I was too weak to move Mom came running into my room and then it goes black I open my eyes to a hospital room I’m used to them from the mounts ive spent in them and the doctor comes in and tells my mom that my blood cancer achaly got worse and not beter like they thought and i would have to leave school for a few days for testing and other stuff and someone from my school would have to bring me my work. The person I chose to get me my work was Mary she would come every Monday with the work for that week she always came after school at 4:30 like clockwork I was slowly falling behind in school I couldn’t keep up with all the testing the hospital was doing and schooling so my parents got me a tour and it was tom and then Bella came with both of them sometimes

I was starting to czech up on school becus of them but I didn’t start getting better

Soon i was stuck in my hospital bed and could only move arond a little Tom came to help tour me one time with Mary and Bella and we were working and then

“Hey Rosa where all worried about you,” Tom said out of the blue

 “Have the doctors said anything about you getting better soon?” Bella said

“No, they said it didn’t look like I was going to get any better”

“How long do you have,” Mary said

‘MARY!” Tom yelled

“Mary dont go asking those questions…” bellas said

“This is not something you can’t be cold about you can’t act like you did last time when we found out she got cancer”

“Bella stop”

“Huh?” Bella said

“I don’t have very long i only have 2 more days i was trying to hide it from you the doctors told me a week after I got in here that I didn’t have much time”

“Well lets make thous two days the best ever well bring you stuff from your hospodal bed and will do anything to make you happy one last time,” Mary said

By the time they were done, it was night so they all went home that same night I went to bed like usual and I never woke up again I was dead a ghost I saw what everyone did the next morning Mom was crying by me in bed and dad was also crying next to here and when tom Bella and mary saw me they all started to cry too many ran out the room and said it wasn’t real that it was all in her head and Bella ran after her and tom he froze up he didn’t know what to do he just cried 

“This isn’t real,” Mary said 

“Mary it’s ok let’s just go home first let’s get Tom,” Bella said

“This isnt fair they could have done more to save her we were all just talking last night she was fine we were going to go all do something to make her happy one last time,” Tom said

I wanted to hug him and tell him it was fine and just forget about me and keep living without me but I felt I was a ghost

“Let’s just go come on guys”

Later on, Mary became a schoolteacher

Tom became a doctor

And Bella became a scientists

And Mom and Dad lived out their life without me happy 

This was the good ending I wanted for them after my death but I wish I could be there for them still…       

The Truth

The Truth 

  – By Payton Brown

  I walked into school and saw my friends with a poster in the halls. It looked like a concert was happening because of how many girls were there. It was a volleyball sign up sheet so I decided to sign up. Not knowing what would happen next. The next day that’s when it all happened I was walking into the gym and everyone was warming up. As I put my stuff down, that’s when I hear them “shh” shh” shh” and murmuring. Behind me I feel all their glances at me. I try to ignore it because I tried to feel positive that day. As I am done warming up I start walking towards my friend. She told me that 

“you shouldn’t be playing right you aren’t even good”

 I ran out trying so hard not to cry and embarrassed myself but I couldn’t help it I started crying but as soon as I wipe tears the coach asked me

“What is wrong”

I told her what happen and she said  

“You cant let them get  to you,you are here to play volleyball and here to get that off your chest”

But I don’t know how I’m going to play 

“I’m just so upset”

But she made me get up and practice as I got up to walk in to practice we did leg/arm stretches. Then I had to get a partner. We bumped it back and forth then setted. As we finished up, we got in three lines and I fell on my knees  and became the laughing stock.  the coach told everyone to keep practicing and helped me up and made sure I was okay the practice that day was horrible 

The following week and a lot more happened. We have a game coming up and the whole school already hates me. But the coach’s words kept playing in my head. I knew I had to keep moving past it. But as we are on the bus a girl who I played with came up to me and asked

“Hey, I know we don’t talk much but why are you sitting by yourself”

“I dont know I’m not really friends with anyone here dont I play with you on the court” 

“ yeah I play setting, Sofia is my name but I’d love to be your friend”

 “The setter? Oh yeah the setter my name is Payton and yeah we can be friends”  

She sat next to me the rest of the time  and talked to me but I didn’t know if I was supposed  to feel happy that there was a girl that actually felt genuine and actually wanted to be my friend . I really didn’t know what I was feeling. I was happy I had a friend. I was scared of the game and I was sad because really no one likes me. As we get to game and were putting are stuff on I hear the girls talking about me but I walked away a little upset because I knew exactly what they were talking about I get on the court and I remember everything that made me even more mad and upset and I actually play a lot better than I thought and I could hear everyone whispering but this time in a good way the coach started putting me on the court a lot more I said 

“Thank you coach” 

“Why you thanking me that was all you” 

“No I wouldn’t of even been play if you didn’t talk to me that day”

“Oh no problem, you get up your good work ” 

As we were on the bus back home the girl who was my friend came up to me and said.

“Hey, you did good out there and I am sorry for what I said.”

But I didn’t know what I wanted to say but words just started coming out of my mouth

“Thanks but you are not sorry because if you were you wouldn’t have said it.”

Then I went to another seat. I finally felt like I was good at something I mean I was. 

As I walked home my mom met me at the door and I was in the newspaper and I felt like everyone liked me. I didn’t just feel like a nobody. I walked into school and everyone was by me and asking  me how I did it but I had no comment but the truth is I would rather go back to having no one like me because I knew who my real friend was.

Bad Luck

Bad Luck 

  • By Bay Max 

“Does anybody have a hairbrush”

“I do”

“Can I please use it”

“Guys I’m scared what if I lose all my matches” 

“You won’t, don’t worry”,

Is what you would hear in the locker room full of girls that is about to go wrestle well not in my case. Everyone is so calm and not worried, like this is another old dandy meet to get over with. As I was putting on my singlet everyone was ready to go . I’m brushing my hair as my cousin was waiting to braid it . That was the start of my tradition, the braid that helps me in each match like Jason’s lucky sock. This was just the start of my goodluck routine. Everygame , everymatch , and every meet my hair is always in a braid and today was nothing different or so I thought. 

For some reason today wasn’t feeling like another old dandy meet. After we were done I slid on my crocs  and walked out the locker room soon realising my mom forgot to give me my money for the game . Well great, how am I gonna eat? And that was what I thought started my bad journey or so I thought my bad luck. I try not to think about it and just continue walking towards the bus. I walk in to see the majority of the girls in the bus as I walk down the aisle to my seat. Boom, the person in front of me sits right in it . You might not know but that has been my seat for every meet every game I’ve ever went to. I thought of it as my lucky charm seat. Then I had to sit and wait for the best, knowing I’m probably not gonna eat and not gonna have a good meet. We get there after 40 ish minutes and the girls are quiet . I see as their eyes widen at the shock of how big the school is. The girls were already threatened by how big the school was , yes the same girls that were pumped and ready to get over this meet. We unload the bus and we all walk out. We can see the buses of the other schools that came to compete today. We walk in and go to our station we set are stuff down ready to explore as we had came 2 hours earlier to scope out the competition “

“Okay” “It’s okay “ “I’ve got two hours to gain all this back

I’m watching everyone watching their strategies and moves just hoping I could do the same. As I watch people get taken down over and over and over again . I’m starting to regain my confidence . The screams of 

“Get up”   and 

“Lock your hands”

“You got this”

Just gets me pumped. 

My coach said behind me

“ guys start getting ready”

So me and the girls start walking back to where we set our bags as we see the gym filled with girls and parents from all over. As I take off my clothes that was over my singlet and start unzipping my bag I hear my couch say

“You’re up” 

“Okay”

He pats my back for assurance I reach in to find NOTHING absolutely nothing. None of my gear was in my bag. Where’s my shoes? Where’s my headgear? Where’s my kneepad? I knew this bad luck would come back and bite me in the butt. I hear the shattering word 

“What are you doing you’re up”

“IIII……. I know”

I turned around so I couldn’t look at him and just stared into my bag. He comes from behind me to see what was the hold up and he knew he knew that if he didn’t say anything in that moment right now i’m gonna break down. 

“You can’t just forfeit it will cost all your matches”

“I know’ “but what can I do”

I sink in as I see his disappointment on my coach’s face looking for an idea. It’s like everything stops. The front table was waiting for me,my opponent was waiting for me. And the gym was quiet as people were trying to find me. I can hear the table in the front call my name again and again and again and again to see where I was. I can see the faces of people you supposedly found me looked worried. My coach didn’t seem to have an idea.  But all of the sudden my teammate came from behind me, saving me. 

“Here” 

“What?”

“Here take mine and hurry” 

“Your opponent is already on the mat”. 

I don’t know what just happened but I was already on the mat shaking my opponent’s hand. I can tell the difference between my shoes and my teammates but I was just glad I had something to use and the universe was out to get me after all

Will I Find Her?

 Will I Find Her?

Author: Kannie Kj

On September 1st in Miami Florida Maria and Sasha, two best friends, are so excited to start school volleyball. They have been playing with each other for years now, and this is their Junior year of highschool. Tryouts start after school today, Maria is feeling good about tryouts and sure she will make it to varsity like every other year, but Sasha on the other hand wasn’t feeling so good about tryouts this year.

 Maria tries making her feel better, “hey, are you feeling any better about tryouts after school,” said Maria.

 “Not really,” said Sasha.

 “I don’t know why your so worried, we always make it on the team,”

“ I know Maria, but this year just feels different and there’s so many more girls this year that i might not make it.” 

“Oh, come on you can’t think like that just be the confident person like you always are.” 

Sasha Nodded her head and gave Maria a smile that looked faked, then she left for her last class of the day.                                 

The last class of the day was coming to an end and Maria was so happy to finally be on the court after the summer break that felt so long to her,  she rushed to the locker room to put on her shoes, knee pads etc. She waits in the locker room for Sasha. It’s been some time and all the other girls are in the gym by now and it was only her in the locker room so she decided to go without sasha. Tryouts started and there were a lot of people, a lot more than last year. The tryouts start with serving and Maria tries to find Sasha but no luck, She’s starting to think she didn’t come at all. The volleyball coach already knows Maria since she was on the team previous years. The coach already knew Maria would make it, but she is worried about why Sasha isn’t there.

 She calls Maria to ask why Sasha didn’t make it to tryouts, “Maria! Come over here,”said coach Gabby.

Maria runs over quickly, “yes coach gabby,” Said Maria.

“Where is Sasha, she’s not the type of girl to be late to tryouts,”

“Uh, I’m not sure, she didn’t tell me anything about what she is doing after school.”

“Oh don’t pull that with me, you to are like glued together and always know where the other one is”

“I don’t know where she is,” said Maria “i’m telling you the truth”

Coach replies “Are you covering for her?” “did she doing something bad”

  “Nope’

“Hmm okay just go back to tryouts”

She returns to tryouts while Coach Gabby gives Sasha’s mom a call. Sasha’s mom, Vannessa, answered. Coach Gabby asks if Sasha was going to come to tryouts, Vanessa said she thought she was already there…

After coach and Sasha talk about what they are going to do Coach hangs up the phone. She tells the girls that are still playing volleyball that she will be right back, Maria is guessing it’s about Sasha. Coach Gabby rushes to the office to ask if anyone is still in the school, The office lady replies, 

“Nope just the girls for volleyball tryouts, why is something wrong?” 

Coach Gabby says,

 “We might have a student missing.”

 The office lady panics and Coach tells her who the student is and they start making phone calls. Meanwhile in the gym, all Maria can think about is how she is gonna have to be on a team for the first time without her best friend Sasha, and now she will have to find a new partner for warm-ups. Coach Gabby finds out that Vannessa and Sasha’s dad are divorced and Sasha doesn’t  see her dad at all anymore. They do some more research and find out Her mom has full custody of Sasha because the dad did some jail time for unknown reasons. Coach Gabby’s heart sinks at the thought of what she thinks happens, she tells the front office lady to check the cameras to see if Sasha left with anyone. Coach returns to the gym shortly after. Maria looks at the way coach gabby is entering the room, she looks like she doesn’t have a thought going on in her head and looks like she is about to throw up. 

It was time to dismiss the girls from tryouts, “Ok girls, good job i’ll tell you who made the teams tomorrow morning. All the girls leave, at Maria’s house she calls Sasha  hoping for an answer but no one does, she’s starting to get worried about her. A couples hours latter Maria gets a notification on her phone, she reads 

“Amber alert for Sasha williams”

Her eyes widen as she keeps reading. It says her dad stole her from school and the car that she took her in is an old worn down jeep” she runs to go tell her mom and they both break down in tears. Maria can’t believe her best friend is kidnapped and if she’s ever gonna be found or what her cruel dad will do to her and how scared she is. After she calms down a little she thinks back at school, she thinks about how she was acting at school and how she was so anxious. Maria wonders if she knew something like this was going to happen. Maria calls Vanessa, Sasha’s mom, to see how she is doing. 

“Hey Vanessa, how are you doing,” said Maria’s mom. 

“As best as I can,” said Sasha’s mom”

A couple weeks go by and no new news and Maria makes a lot of new friends but she still thinks about Sasha dailey and wonders where she’s at or even if she’s still alive. Coach Gabby can see that Maria’s volleyball performance has not been like she usually plays and thinks that because of Sasha’s disappearance. A year or so goes b y and on the news a car crash is found with 2 dead in divalus that are reported to be Sasha and her dad… With a note that looks like Sasha’s handwriting that said 

“Sorry mom and Maria” 

No one knows why she was sorry. They had her funeral and Sasha’s mom moved away. 

The Adventure of Evony Manorest

The Adventures of Evony Manorest

By Giverest Enovy

Chapter 1

Once upon a time in the world of sports there lived two twins born from nothing. The Yin twin was very wild and rude to the people in the village. The Yang twin was very smart and kind to the people in the village. Whatever the Yin twin would destroy, the Yang twin would fix it. Since the Yin twin was so destructive he was banished from the village. One day the twins heard a mysterious voice.

”You two are the beginning of a great story.”

After that they never heard that mysterious voice ever again. The Yang twin became king and had a son named Evony Manorest. Fifteen years later, the king was kidnaped and taken to the Darklands and a big prize was given out to rescue the king. Meanwhile in the Darklands the king meets his brother, and they have a family reunion and they have a good time. They saw what each other was up to and get to know how each other’s life was going. Meanwhile in the kingdom of the king, everything was in chaos. With the king gone everyone didn’t know what to do. Ebony tried to calm everyone down, but it only worsened it so Evony decided to go bring the king back to the castle.

Evony asked everyone who would want to help him rescue the king and stop the chaos from worsening. The only people that wanted to save the king were Carl, Josh, Doni, and Megis. Evony and Carl went to the Adventurers Guild to become adventurers to begin to start their journey to rescue the king. When everyone was all ready and packed up, they left the village and started their adventure to find and rescue the king.

Meanwhile with the king and his brother, his brother was introducing his family to him and showing him around. Back to Evony and his party, they encountered a goblin camp and they got attacked by goblins and they swiftly and effortlessly defeated the goblins. A few hours later they found ruins and decided to camp out there while everyone was unpacking Evony went to explore the ruins and found a secret door that led to a treasure room and before he went in he told everyone else.

Evony said,”Guys I found a hidden treasure room!”

 They all went in and they looked through the treasures, and they grabbed some magic weapons and some gold and started a fire back at the camp. After they had dinner they went to sleep. When they woke up they all started to pack up and continue their journey. After some time passed they got attacked by Orcs that saw them while they were hunting and they defeated the Orcs but it took a good amount of time.

 They were getting closer to the king when they came across an inn. The innkeeper welcomed them in kind to stay the night. During the night they heard a weird noise that sounded like a monster. They got ready and started to leave the inn but ran into the monster, the innkeeper.

They were captured and tied up after they freed themself and found each other. They went to save the kids the innkeeper kidnapped. They saved the kids and looked for the innkeeper to defeat him. When they  found the innkeeper and wounded him, he got away and reported it to the king’s brother. The king’s brother ordered his servants to set traps to stop Evony’s party from stealing his brother away from him.

While they were walking down the path they accidentally activated a teleporting trap that separated them all and trapped them in a huge maze with traps and treasures. They all knew that following the right wall was the way to the exit. So after five hours in the maze they finally got out. After they stepped out of the maze it teleported to a treasure room and they took only the valuables, and then they were teleported to where they got teleported to the maze and continued down the path.

They took a little break after they were walking on the path for a few hours for a lunch break. They voted for who would cook the food. They all voted for Doni to cook lunch because he owned the best restaurant in the kingdom. After lunch they continued down the path but they got attacked by bandits and gave them one hundred gold coins and the bandits left them alone.
