Stuck

By Sandalie Gamage

Bella was sitting on the floor in her room reading a book. (Yes, she was reading. No, she is not a nerd). She'd found the book the other day in a corner in the library. It looked like it hadn't been touched in ages. So, being the person she is, she had picked it up. There was no title, which was slightly weird, but she was pretty sure that there were tons of books without titles in the world.
Bella had taken the book home and started reading it just now. The book was really, really weird. The front pages were blank. No author. No copyright. Nothing. The page where the actual writing started was filled with strange words she had never seen or heard before. The odd thing was, she kept on reading it. She didn't know what she was reading, but something made her feel the need to keep reading.
Suddenly, a bright glow was coming from the book. Bella dropped the book and jumped back. The light seemed to grow hands and they twisted around her and pulled her into the book. She screamed, but she could not escape from the light´s vice like grip.  
Bella woke up to the sound of light rustling. She was in a dark place somewhere. She tried to feel around, but her hands didn't come in contact with anything. Bella stood up, or tried to at least. Something seemed to be pressing down on her from above. She was starting to get scared now. What was going on? She tried again to stand up, but to no avail.
Suddenly, a feeling of sheer horror took ahold of her. She realized something. She was stuck. Stuck in the book. The rustling, the darkness, the inability to get up. No one would know. But then what was outside?

Then, she heard the quiet laugh coming from above.

Donald Trump Slips VP Info

By Brett Wilson

Donald Trump has steamrolled every candidate in the GOP election, but now the big question is… Who will his running mate be? He has given some hints though. For example when he stated, “There are people I like, but I don’t think they like me because I have hit them hard”.
Thought candidates for this position are Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker.
“I don’t think that Marco Rubio, or John Kasich would even want to be affiliated with their former opponent, but I’m not sure about Scott Walker.” Said Frank Lofton, a Sierra Vista eighth grader.
Will Trump choose one of these political leaders, or throw another curveball at the United States of America.
