Proud to Be an American
30 Feet Under... One dark stormy night, it was just me in my back yard digging when I came upon a large, red, wooden door with a rusty door knob right in front of me. The first thing I thought to myself was, WOW! There's a door under my house. They I thought why is there a door under my house? I stood there and thought if I should go in but I didn't want anything to happen. So I climbed out and went in my house and I went on the computer to see if there was anything about the door and why would it be under there. I typed it in, pressed enter, and it read "Research Not Found". I went back outside and climbed back down the hole. I approached the door once more. I knocked, knocked, and knocked. No answer. So I opened the door as quietly as I could. The more I open it the louder it got. I tightly fit through the opening and asked if anyone was there? No answer. I walked around. It was really cold, big, and wet and slimy stuff was coming off the ceiling. I looked and there was a little door in the corner and all of a sudden the door slammed. "Ahhh!!.." I yelled. Thinking it was the wind. I slowly walk back to the door and behind me the pots and pans started to rattle and hit the wall and fall off the table. "This can't be happening. It's just the wind." But the door was shut. All of a sudden I felt a boney hand on my shoulder pushing me into the door in the corner that I seen earlier.What ever that person was doing to me was pouring this weird purple stuff in my mouth that made me fall asleep. "Where am I and what is going on?" I ask myself. It was dark, quiet, smelly, and there were nails and screws coming out of the walls. I got really scared. I looked up for 5 seconds and looked back down and there she was. The old lady that put me in here. She was at least 6'6" tall, with long, crazy hair, big, round eyes, with and fat, long nose, and really pointy ears. She told me to come out. I said "no!" "What do you want from me and why are you doing this to me?" I

Then the wind was howling it broke the windows, but we covered them up it time so dirt wouldn’t come in the house. I looked outside and the only thing I saw was dirt from the black blizzard.

    A lot of people don't realize that we are so lucky to get all of these rights and freedoms and they take them for granted. Another thing that I am very proud of, is that we have our own America's fighting for us everyday of their lives to keep us free. These people are putting their lives in danger for me and all Americans. Overall, there are many things that America has gave to my generation and I am very fortunate to get most of these things.

    “Mom, mom, mom, mom!” I was practically screaming. I already knew what she was going to say. I just sat back on the couch and watched as a tear streamed down my face into my hand. I eventually fell asleep on the couch. I woke up at three in the morning and I could see the sun peaking out with the stars and moon retreating back until another night. I don’t know what came across me but I thought to myself why people are so cruel. I looked outside to see if anyone was out there. I just saw an empty street, just like one of those old ghost towns in old western movies.…

She knew something that no one else knew.She kept looking outside her window as if something was out there. Her parents kept telling her just to go to bed that their was nothing out there. She kept yelling “ No! No! No! they're going to take me away! I don't want them to take me again!!” Her parents just left her in her room, and she just kept on looking at the window.

    I was led by the smoke cloud to a quaint little cottage. It did not appear to be vacant. As I was approaching the door, I noticed a faint glow in the arched window. I assumed it was candlelight. In the corner of my eye, I sensed movement. A blurry and small outline of a person topped the hill. I decided to go in to the cottage even though the movement still was etched my mind. Once in, I walked through a small sitting circle and felt warmth from the fire burning stove. Into the kitchen was a table with food. A warm and fresh prepared meal was set out for two guests. The table had turkey, peas, green beans, bread and pie. I hadn’t eaten since this morning so I decided to help myself to a plate. As I was about to take a bite of the turkey, the wood door pushed open. This sound startled me to the point of coughing. The blurred figure came through the door. It was the person I saw in field. That person was carrying a basket full of garden vegetables. When the person saw me, she asked me who I was and why I was in her house. I told her about my hunting experience and how I had walked upon the cottage. I let her know about how cold it was and that I needed a little warmth and something to eat. She didn’t feel sorry for me in the least bit. I felt extremely bad because she had made this meal for her husband and children. I gave her my regards and lots for rabbits to enjoy. I left on my horse…

    Then a tall homeless man with a dirty gray cap, big scary eyes, and dirty torn clothes, then stared at my cousins and I. He suddenly turned behind our backs and started to follow us without our knowledge for a moment until we couldn’t see anything but the sun and the sound of cars around us, it was like he was invisible, suddenly he jumped behind us and sprayed us with some type of mist that made us all fall to the ground. A few minutes later, when we opened our eyes, we found ourselves near a big garbage can with no one around us we were clueless. There we saw a small sticky note that was stuck to the side of the garbage…

    The spider started walking around the room to see if I was in there. I had the bench, a stool, and a bunch of random objects I found in my moms room and closet. I ran to the closet and locked that door as well, and the top of the closet there was a hole leading up to the attic. I was always too frightened to go up into the attic due to spiders, rats, and other unknown things that could be up there. I knew if I had to go up though. I started climbing onto the shelves of the closet and opened up the cover into the attic. There was cobwebs and I was covered in them. I shut the door to the attic and sat trying not to make any noise at all. I sat in the attic as silent as Anne Frank was while she was in hiding. I sat in a room full of stress and anxiousness. An hour passed and there was no noise. I couldn’t sit in the attic all day, I had to get out eventually. Thirty minutes later, I peeked open the door to see into the closet, nothing was there and it was dead silent. I jumped out of the attic trying to be as quiet as a hummingbird. I tiptoed to peek out of the bathroom. There right in front of me was the monster. I was trapped, there was nothing I could do besides to plead and cry. I felt a big wind that felt like something was being sucked out of me. The monster looked at me almost as he was seeing through me. The baby head laughed and slowly, the whole monster slowly started…

    It was a cold stormy night. The house was still. I was lying in bed when I heard a series of knocks at the door. As I descended the stairs the knocks were getting louder and louder. I thought to myself, "Who could be at the door this late at night?" When I opened the door there was a tall man dressed all in black. He smelled of fish and looked like he just walked out of a mud pit. He was having car troubles and needed to use the phone. I invited him in and told him that the phone was down the hall in the living room. Instead of calling the tow truck he called his friend, George, to come pick him up. I invited him to have a cup of coffee and some cookies while he waited for his friend to pick him up. We talked for about an hour when there was another knock at the door.…

    Pulling up on this old beat down gas station. We all knew it was old when the sign was hanging loosely and swinging with the wind. My dad needed to put gas but I could see he was very skeptical. I rolled my window down getting closer to the gas pump, when I smell the most unpleasant scent I have ever smelt. I told my dad we would have to pay for the gas on the inside because the machine was so old that dirt and spider webs built up in the card machine reader.…

    He turned the key in the lock and opened the door. To his horror he saw a portal to another dimension. This portal started sucking him in like a vacuum. He ran and ran and held on to the frame of the door. He could not hold on and he fell in. All was dark. Pitch black. Not a light in the sky. He thought “how can anything live under these bleak conditions?” Suddenly he heard a faint cat like noise then saw a bright light advancing toward him at an alarming rate. He ducks and the light source explodes right behind him. “This cannot be real.” He says.…
