True Writers Article: Samarra Knows

posted by sawfan13

Dear Mother,

Yes I know what you did to me

You threw me down the well

All because I made your life a living hell

Mommy, Mommy can't you see?

I'm your little adopted baby girl

If you didn't want me, why did you adopt me

Yes Mommy, I know

I, Samarra Morgan knows.

The tape that is cursed

Is nothing worse

Than what I had experienced

Why didn't I ever sleep?

Because the horses kept me up at night

Because you let Daddy keep me in the barn.

I have hurt others

I have killed others

I may have even sickened your horses

I bet you loved them more than you loved me

Yes, I know I am a freak

Because I am afraid of water, so to speak

There's something about it that will make me feel weak

Mommy, Mommy, do you actually love me?

Why do you let Daddy be so mean?

I don't think Daddy loves me

As much as you do

Yet, I have heard all that you've been through.

I heard my real mommy

Is locked up somewhere

Because she tried to drown me

When I was just a baby girl.

Now, I'm here down in the well

Feeling like this could be hell

Don't worry Mommy, you have your horses instead

Because in seven days, I will be dead.

Yet, my spirit will live on and on and I won't feel worse

Because the tape of mine is my happy curse.

alicia386 I have mixed feelings. I dont know whether to be sad that the mommy tried to drown her or be thrilled the girl wont have to deal with that mixed up family when she dies. I do like you poem though! It is really awesome.

The Fragile Ballerina Figure

posted by sawfan13

The tiny ballerina figurine
As unique as an owl in winter
As beautiful as Christmas morning joy
It stands alone, looking at the other toys in the girl's room.
She remembers when she first got her.
Her birthday.
Will never forget her reaction.
Other dolls came and went
But not the little figurine.
She dances slowly as the girl falls asleep
Her porcelin skin cold and shiny
Pretty white tutu dress
Always ready to dance and bring happiness
One day she was ignored
Weeks and days went by
Her owner, forgetting her presence.
The girl grew more, and her nightlight went
Making the ballerina feel scared and alone.

The Dying Leader

This is a continuation of The Dying Ashes. I am Katherine Adams and I have received this manuscript my aunt had sent me weeks ago. She has gone missing. I fear for her life and I wish not to speak of her. I must continur this tale.

I knew Dylon very well. He was like a second father to me so his death took a great toll on me. To continue my aunt's research I have had to follow those four demigods very closely. I have learned so much about them. I think that maybe it is better to move from city to city so they can't get a good lead on where I am. So far it has worked.

Saukerl

"SAUMENSCH!" I hollered from next door. Saumensch isn't really the nicest thing you can call someone, it is like an insult, that is, like calling someone a pig in America. But right now, I am not in America, I am in Germany, so live with it. You'll get used to it, don't worry. "SAUKERL!" Matna hollered back. Saukerl is about the same thing, except used to call men and boys that, while Saumensch is used to call girls and women that. Her name is Matna Johanasen.Anyways, my name is Carls. Carls Shotansen. Pleased to meet you. The story of "Way to Go, Saumensch: A Note From the Saukerl" all started on one foggy night...when everyone was asleep, except for one very peculiar being. And, he, was not German. He bore the symbol of the Star of David. He was a Jew.

Prologue

Beep Beep The monitors from the hospital bed were rapidly going off. The violent shaking and movements made
them go faster and faster. "We're losing him! We're losing him!" They cried out, trying to turn the boy to his side. The
violent shakes stopped, as the one continuous beep on the monitor showed one never ending line.

It's been a year, since the arachnophobia slowly developed into agoraphobia. How, you may ask? It had developed from extreme arachnophobia, slowly and slowly growing so irrational that the kid won't even leave his room. His parents look at each other with misunderstanding,...

Troy, The Almighty Fatty

Last weekend, Ciara, Zaria, and I, Teresa, traveled from Hollywood, California to Paris, France. We planned on living there for a year and see how it goes. Zaria wanted to study fashion, Ciara wanted to study art, and I wanted to study the french boys there.

We bought an apartment about a month before we started packing. Ciara is the organized one so of course we had our plane tickets, some snack because airplane food is cheap and disgusting, and we had our suitcases. Unfortunately, I am the complete opposite of Ciara. I forgot my suticase in my mom's car. Luckily for me, she didn't drive off...

First day of summer and I'm already bored. I'm not bored enough to want to back to school. I'm just lonely bored. L. J called me several times this morning wondering if I was okay and if I wanted to go some place with him. I kindly rejected him. If it wasn't Jennifer or Tammie calling then I don't want to hear. Velvet signed me up book club thing. I do like to read books and she thought that maybe I could meet some new friends that have something in common with me. I think she is full of baloney. Velvet made me promise to go to the first meeting tomorrow. I don't know. We'll see how my mood is by tomorrow.

Chapter Twelve: Small Rooms Makes for No Escapes

Their headquarters was nothing more then a room with monitors everywhere. They had enough in the budget to get a bigger space and tons more gadgets, they just chose not to. Some of the monitors showed different views of the outside building. One monitor was showing a desert somewhere in Africa. It is odd how they got one out there and why they have he out there. I didn't ask questions. I wanted to appear as if I knew everything about everything in the room. Marlo wasn't going to get the best of me.

Orion stood up feeling fresh and powerful and ran through the door into the arena. Libra stood looking younger than he actually was at the other side, wand writhing about in his hand ready for a fight," come on Orion dont be afraid," Libra shouted out.

"You're lying," I said but then again, who would lie about something like this. "My father would have told me if he was in danger. We have a strong relationship."
"That maybe, but would he really want you to worry when your spy exams are coming up? Would he want to add more to your plate of stress?" Darrell raised one eyebrow for my response but he didn't need one. He already knew what I was going to say.
"You have a point but," I said. "What is the school going to do about it? Surely, they wouldn't let one of the most top notch...
