The baker was very METICULOUS because he had OCD. He also had the CUMBERSOME job of carrying 21 heavyweight calzones wherever he went. Sometimes the baker would take days off to deal with his NOSTALGIA of his kindergarten days, when he was young. These holidays were FUTILE because he couldn't time travel back to when he was young. So one day when he was overcome by sadness, the baker gave into the dark side of the force and became very MALEVOLENT. So the baker became an ANOMALY to all of his friends because they were BENEVOLENT.

Once upon a time there lived a BENEVOLENT girl named Kelli. One day she was walking home from school and a girl named Suzzie tripped Kelli and left her crying on the ground. Suzzie is known to be very MALEVOLENT towards others. Kelli told her mother about the incident that happened. The next day at school Suzzie was VENGEFUL for Kelli, she overheard Kelli talking to her mom about it. So, Suzzie decided to OSTARCIZE her from the lunch table. Throughout lunch, Suzzie was OMNISCIENT about the Science test that she took and was telling everyone the answers. Later that day, Suzzie was called to the office. She got a COMEUPPANCE for telling everyone about the test. Never again would Suzzie hurt Kelli or anyone else. Kelli lived on happily ever after. The End.

All of Alisha’s friends were going to a concert over the weekend. They invited her to go, But Alisha was hesitant. They begged her to go with them and Alisha was sick of hearing it so she said yes, just to APPEASE them. You weren’t suppose to go to the concert unless you were eighteen or older, or with an adult. Alisha didn’t know the band, nor did she like heavy metal music, but she put up a FAÇADE looking like she was having a lot of fun even though she was concerned for the safety of her friends. As Alisha and her friends approached the venue of the concert there was a CACOPHONY of noise coming from inside. Passing by people, everyone looked very MALEVOLENT and ATROCIOUS. Alisha had a PREMONITION but decided not to say anything so she didn’t ruin the night. The night was fun, even though the music wasn’t that good. Alisha’s friends went to a party after the concert, but Alisha wanted to go home. Every one of Alisha’s friends that went to the party got in trouble. So boy was Alisha glad she stuck to her gut on what was right, and what was wrong.

Once upon a time, a VIVACIOUS, lively boy named Nic tried to do the unthinkable. Nobody had ever achieved this great feat, but Nic wanted to be the ANOMALY. He was going to attempt to jump over a 20 ft. wide, 100 ft. deep CHASM. When he walked up to the chasm, the crowd was full of craziness and PANDEMONIUM. Nic knew this would be an ARDUOUS task, but tried not to worry. The sound disappeared as suspense PERVADED the crowd. Within one second, Nic had jumped, tripped, and hit the cold, hard ground. His FUTILE attempt was not good enough. R.I.P Nic.

I'm doing track this Spring for the first time in my life. I was worried that the practice REGIMEN would be too much with school work. So far it hasn't been too CUMBERSOME for me. I really like the CAMARADERIE of my track team. The coach has a MANTRA to always do your best. I always try to APPEASE him by running fast and winning my events. The only thing I worry about is tripping over a CHASM on the track!

Once upon a time, there was a PROTAGONIST. The protagonist was born with the INNATE ability to do something nobody else could do. Seems pretty awesome, right? Wrong! Suddenly, it turns out that there is an ANTAGONIST. This person has dedicated their entire life to hunting down the protagonist. Thus, the protagonist goes on this weirdly cool journey in order to EVADE the ATROCIOUSLY MALICIOUS villain on their heels. Along the way, they meet many friends including the Rude Person, The Comic Relief, The Love Interest, and the Wise one. Come see/read/experience this amazingly cliched story! Coming soon!

The boy, Gary did a very ATROCIOUS thing to his friend, Fred who hit him in the face. The FLIPPANT boy put used tissue in Fred’s sandwich. Fred was extremely INDIGNANT about this situation and became very VENGEFUL about. Next he, METICULOUSLY spit in Gary’s chocolate milk. Gary was IMPERVIOUS to what Fred did because no one ever told him and the war ended between Fred and Gary.

Once apon a time, there was a very MUNDANE girl. Every day she would wake up at exactly 5:00 am and eat 1 wheat toast with no jam or butter on it. It was just plain. Then she would put on white shirt and black pants and pull her hair up in a ponytail. Every day would be just the same until… BAM! The girl looked out her window and she saw a huge alien space ship in her yard. The crash had caused there to be a small CHASM that had swallowed one of her trees and her picnic bench. She cautiously made her way to the CATALYST that had caused the destruction of her yard, wondering what was inside the ship. As she stepped outside, she yelped because there was a strange creature, perhaps an alien, standing near the ship. The thing turned its head at her, and studied her as if she was the alien that crash landed in its yard. She froze, terrified of the thing, with its green skin and 5 eyes. “I speak language of you.” It said. The girl was very surprised by the alien’s remark and the only thing that came out of her mouth was a feeble “O.K.”. “Me friends.” He said gesturing toward the ship as aliens of all shapes and sizes poured out. They created a loud CACOPHONY as they came out, all thousands of aliens talking at the same time. One alien said “Look at weird girl!” “FLIPPANT Jerry, quiet!” the leader alien that was talking to me said. “All right.” I said, drawing the leader back to me “Please be very EXPLICIT and tell me clearly why you are here.” “Oh…um” He stammered “I have come to tell you something very important.” “You are my daughter, sent here to see what this planet is like, and now you are in danger.”

Mrs.Stillitano has a very VIVACIOUS 8th period class, that day Mrs.Stillitano stayed home with her child leaving a sub to teach her classes that day. By the end of the day, 8th period had finally arrived and all the students took their seats. The students INCESSANTLY talked until the sub told them to quiet down. The students stopped talking but they were very FLIPPANT and ATROCIOUS, they were so rude the sub had to give out many reflection sheets, she even had to send someone to the office. The sub realized it was FUTILE to try to stop the talking so she APPEASED the class by letting them talk until the bell. Once the bell rang the sub was so happy to leave so she jumped out of her chair and sprinted out the door.

After five days, my dog still has shown camaraderie. I still can’t believe we made it through the giant chasm. Today is Tuesday, the whole world went down last Thursday. There was a major plague that caused riots and protests. Once it got too bad, everyone started to kill each other. Nothing is left, but only the survival of the most intellegant and fit people. I am very indigenous to this place because it’s my home land. I grew up here until I was 13 then moved to Washington. My life was rough especially when I never met my true dad. I’m still alluding to the past when I tried to help my mom with work and help around the house, but I couldn’t because she wouldn’t let me. Being vivacious at the end of the social humanity is very hard. When I found this dog is was being atrociously abused and I took him for my own. Through all the pain I still make it through the world surviving and hoping for the best.

Our MUNDANE town was the typical fairy tail world. That was, until the high priests started FOREBODING. They're screams were a CACOPHONY of terrible prophecies. Now, this CUMULATIVE kingdom was rising in power. And once word spread throughout it, the other lands began to become extremely FLIPPANT. It was EXPLICIT that a change needed had to happen. And this CUMBERSOME challenge was going to be difficult. That was, until a MEEK, strange, and very small boy came to us. He wouldn't speak at first, so I'm surprised we even allowed him to help. But he was the way we could EVADE this, situation.

On this mundane Monday in the last week of school I had a forbidding. I felt that someone was going to pull the fire alarm. All the sudden in 3rd period it happened and the cacophony sound of the fire alarm echoed through out the halls. When we back in I was thinking who it was and I thaught it was Karl but he's meek because he lost his house to a giant chasm a week ago. As the day past I was thinking who it could be I remembered josh saying he was going to pull the fire alarm yesterday. Josh is a flippant student and all ways in trouble. After the day past I thought who it was. I sat on my porch on a nice breezy day thinking who it was. The next in first period they said they found the person who pulled the fire alarm and it turned out to be one of her bests friend June

The calzone is a shapeable and MALLEABLE thing, you see. its taste can be molded, unlike its MUNDANE and boring competitors. (usually dandelions and hot dogs) It can be presented in a EXPLICIT way, which clearly defines its taste, by adding pure granite rock to the recipe. back in my day (early 24th century) calzones were much less exciting until Chuck Jagerson IX came along. he was the CATALYST for calzones since he invented the annual Cal-Jagerson Olympic Games, the calzone fad was so CUMULATIVE that it grew like a squirrel in a china shop. All the cool kids started to diagonally stack their calzones just like the pros. It wasn't until the Accidental Dental Nuclear Labs had a accidental thermonuclear explosion near the densest populated earth city at the time. the blast was so powerful that it wiped out all of earth's population except for me, I happened to be in my underground egg roll testing facility. The only drawback was that it caused a gap in space-time continuum, so I was sent back around 300 years to the past and was forced to live in a non-calzone loving society. And to this day I am forced to hold the CUMBERSOME secret of knowing the undeniable fate of the human race. "This message was brought to you by accidental dental care street cleaning"

Ryan White, an inspiration to all, was signboard with AIDS at the age of 10. He had got it from his factor which is blood that you put into your body when your blood can't clot as fast a regular human being. This was called Hemophilia which Ryan had. People were very FLIPPANT around Ryan because they thought that AIDS was contagous. There was many CATALYSTS when Ryan went to school because parents wouldn't allow their children o go to school which they definitely wouldn't of done if Ryan didn't have AIDS. Parents were definitely EXPLICIT when they came to there children going near Ryan. The parents even made a new school for some children to stay at while Ryam was in school. Ryan's family even had to go to court to get back to school because the parents didn't like the idea nor the school. However, he protested and explained to everyone how there was mothing to be afraid of, that AIDS was not contagous and that he should be able to be treated like a normal teen if he wanted to. However, eventually, his family thought that they had a PLETHORA of bad memories where they lived and they decided to move. Their new area was a major upgrade for them. Kids like Ryan and thought he was a fine kid. Nobody rejected him at school, in fact he had many friends and he really liked it there. He even was a MUSE to some people and other people were also jealous of him because he was practically famous. After being very INDIGNANT how people thought about him at his old area, he was very happy and proud to live in his new area(Cicero). However, at the age of 18, Ryan got very sick and died. All of his family and friends were devastated. However, they new he gave it his all and was in a better place now. Ryan White will never be forgotten.

Zeus, the OMNISCIENT king of gods, was enjoying ruling. At least, he was, until his grandmother, Gaea, created the most humongous monster he had ever seen. This monster was Typhon, a creature who was immediately ready to attack him. The seemingly VENGEFUL Typhon attacked Mount Olympus, and all of the other gods fled all the way in Egypt. Zeus still VIVACIOUSLY confronted him, but in the end, Zeus became tied up. Hermes eventually rescued him, and our PROTAGONIST picked up enormous Mount Aetna, and threw it crushing the almost IMPERVIOUS Typhon. This shows that even if someone evil seems unstoppable, they will eventually receive their COMEUPPANCE.

One day when i was walking home from school, i heard a cacophony. It caught my attention and i wanted to see who or what was making that noise. After awhile of arbitrarily walking, i came to a consensus that the sound was fake and i should just go home. Then five minutes later i heard it much louder and more explicitly. Now i was starting to get freaked out but i kept a facade on my face so the thing would get intimidated. I tried to evade my self from the thing but i just kept hearing the awful screeching of something terrible. Than all the sudden a little meek man appeared from the bushes looking rather jolly and laughing uncontrolibly. I asked him what his problem was and he said "Are you an idiot or something? It was just my cat!" I indeed felt stupid and wanted to get out of this awkward situation so i just walked away, and never came back!

The benevolent Luke Skywalker was a farm boy and had much to learn about the force. His father was very indignant about the force and him being questioned in the Jedi Council, which had turned him to the dark side only to become known as Darth Vader. At this stage, pandemonium had broken out all across the galaxy, jedi falling left and right. However, when Luke had begun training wih Ben Kenobi, it had been arduous for Luke to master the force. But eventually, he had mastered it and was quite the anomaly and turned the tables in the war. It all ended when the emperor had attempted to ostracize Darth Vader from his position as the sith's apprentice, and replace him with his son. Unfortunately for the emperor, Luke had been impervious and tolerant to the compelling dark side, and Darth Vader had realized the mistake he made. He listened to the good in him that his son had sensed, and had overthrown the emperor. So in the end, Darth Vader really wasn't the antagonist. At heart, he was Anakin Skywalker, the chosen one.

Once there were two best friends named Jane and Lucy. And one afternoon they were playing all sorts of board games due to the dreadful storm outside. Their favorite game was Candyland so they played it the most. Right before Lucy was about to win, a strange cracking noise came from outside. The girls assumed it was the storm and resumed their game. But, the crackling was INCESSANT. Soon Jane jumped up and rushed to the door. She was greeted by a round balding man dressed in yellow and red polka dot pants, and green shirt, and a purple jacket. The man looked so kind so the girls let him in. he introduced himself as Mr. Smeelie. He claimed to be from the game Candland! He said that he needed the girls’ help because the entire country of Candyland was PANDEMONIUM! Something was turning the whole game board a MONOTONOUS gray. He needed true fans of Candyland to help so he called Lucy and Jane. The girls agreed to help and they were whisked away to Candyland.

Once upon a time, there was a very MUNDANE man. He never did anything exciting. He always went to work in the morning, came back, ate, and went to sleep. He was also very METICULOUS. He did this everyday without change. His life was very boring until one unusual day. One day, as he was getting into his car to go to work, he noticed that his suitcase was more CUMBERSOME than usual. He thought he just had a lot of papers. When he was in the road driving, he heard his suitcase move. He then realized it was definitely not the paperwork that was so heavy. He went aside and parked. He took a deep breath and opened it, thinking that whatever was in there must be worth him being late for his job. When he opened the suitcase, he could not believe what he was seeing. In front of his eyes was a huge fly. The fly was covered in green slime and long, thick hair. The man was a bout to barf, but he didn't want to get his car dirty, so he held it in. He immediately opened his car drawer and put on some gloves and a mask. He took the fly and threw it out the window of his car. He cleaned up the messy slime and went on with his day. He was acting MALEVOLENT to others for the rest of the year because he was fired for being late to his job. A year after, there was an earthquake and a huge CHASM was created. The man ran outside to see the damage. He looked at the deep hole in the ground. He couldn't believe his eyes. The same huge fly that got him fired was coming out of the hole screaming, "I survived!" The man had a FOREBODING feeling about what would happen when the fly would see him. And as he thought, it came true. The huge disgusting, slimy, hairy fly saw him and put an angry expression on his face. All of the sudden, the fly screamed, "Yoouuu!!!" The fly flew as fast as it could to him and then... the man woke up. He had realized that it was a dream and none of that craziness had actually happened. And he lived happily ever after. :)

This year so far has been great. Yeah, i know that sometimes i'm TANGENT with my work. I've been very METICULOUS with my work too. If something doesn't look right it seems like i have to fix it. I haven't been much of a studier, so sometimes i have had to OMIT some questions off of some quizzes. There seems to be so much homework that has to be done, so this year i have been a little HAPHAZARD with my work and binders. It also isn't easy at home, i always have a FOREBODING feeling that my brother will do something to me. But this year i've been trying very hard to be BENEVOLENT to my friends and family.

I had a deep premonition something was going to happen on friday, I was right Billy the cat was riding his cat bike in the desert when he fell down a massive chasm. That vivacious cat lived his last day, at least thats what i thought until I saw him putting on a facade of another man at his own funeral. I wondered how he survived then i realized cats always land on there feet. He only broke his legs but now he cant run like the old cat he used to be he was very vengeful towards that chasm he made a primitive stick of dynamite and he blew up the chasm after all bomb making is on every cats repertoire. Billy the cat still lurks the deserts blowing up chasms to get revenge.

Once upon a time, there was a girl named Ann. Ann wore a FACADE in front of all of her friends. She acted very BENEVOLENT to them. But she actually was MALEVOLENT. She knew it would be arduous to take down Ella though. Ella was IMPERVIOUS. She wouldn't let anyone or anything get in her way. Ann was vengeful to Ella because she accidently tripped her. Ella was CANDIDLY. If she said it was an accident, it probably was. But Ann was still dubious. The got in a arguement during lunch and Ann OSTRACIZED Ella from their table. It caused a big PANDEMONIAM between all of their friends.
