November 7 Stories



A Simultaneous Wave and Hurricane

By Nayeli

A simultaneous wave and hurricane took place in the mid 1990's when my accompanist, Ace, who is an expert on gravitational bulges, comes with me to explore an inlet.

We were having fun relaxing in the shallow water when a hurricane generated waves and I was almost drowned. But, thanks to my life-saver, I was safe. We got out of the water.

Trying to escape the hurricane got worse. Thinking it was inconsequential, we ran into a spooky cave. Then we recognized how important it was to be in the cave. Because of the hurricane the light did not go out. There was a lot of energy. The cave was magic. It could stop the waves and hurricanes.

At first we didn't know anything, but our curiosity didn't stop us from pushing the button. Then after we pushed the button, we went out of the cave and saw the waves and hurricane had stopped simultaneously.

The Ace and I started playing tag in the water because what could we do? We were drenched.


My Wild Boat Ride

By Jesus

One day we were on a boat to go to Hawaii for a vacation. It was a long trip. I sat on a beach ball and it made a bulge. There was high tide because the moon has a gravitational pull on the ocean. Then there was a tsunami. It was generated by a volcanic explosion in Hawaii.

The boat went in all different directions. We had to use our energy to stay on the boat. The the tsunami stopped. I was so dizzy that I fell off the boat. Good thing that the water was shallow.

Now we were close to Hawaii. We were excited. When we reached the inlet, I found 7 starfish. Then we reached the shore we went to eat. And I will never forget that day for the rest of my life.



Buffalo Herd

By Jordan

Here I am in the middle of the fire storm as the leader. I have to lead the herd to safety but the problem is, I don't know how to be a leader. My herd dwindles each time we walk 5 miles. Embers fly like we were in a war. The policy was not to pass waterfall property. If it is the only way to safety, I will break the policy. The canopy of the trees is on fire.

Since leaves are tinder, we try to stay as far away as possible from trees. We veered a lot of times. So we got to the waterfall property. We thought we were safe but it is hunting season. There are hunters everywhere. Even the the famous hunter, Andy, is here.

Soon something good happened. Geysers shot out. The geysers were cold water and turned the fire off. That was good for my herd, but bad for the hunters. Andy, the hunter, got shot into the air by a geyser and is crying and yelling for help.


The Fires

By Dominique

I remember last summer when the forest had a lot of fires. There were always firefighters coming every day. Trees dwindled and there was hardly any grass and plants. There was a big fire in 2008 when the firefighters came, the trees were full of embers. Every time I went I would see bison. And the tree's canopy was all gone.

When I saw a fire I veered to another side. They made a policy to always take down fires. On June 15 there was the worst fire in the forest. It killed animals. Everything was dying. After that fire nobody went over there. Not even the animals. It was tinder dry. There was a geyser shooting up in the air.

But one day a miracle happened. It started to snow. Trees were growing, grass was growing, and plants were growing. Animals were comming and people were coming. Since then no more fires were in the forest.
