Baseball Brothers

When he was only four years old his father died because of drunk driving. Because Seth’s father died, his mother is struggling trying to feed him, clothe him and to make sure his life is normal. Readers will learn in this realistic, but fictional story, only the strongest of friendships can replace the most devastating events in a family.

When they are together they have a special bond that no two other human beings have. Seth feels that Jimmy has filled the gap in his life for his father when his father had died. An example of this is that my friend’s dog died from cancer. But then he got another dog and named it the same name as the other one.

The baseball field has been Jimmy’s home away from home. But, when he met Seth, Jimmy’s goal was to teach Seth how to play baseball. At first Seth wasn’t good as he thought he would be. With time and practice Seth became better than he thought he would ever be. They practiced and played on the same team for years until they got to high school varsity

When Seth and Jimmy both get into high school they both agree to try out for the varsity baseball team. Seth thinks that Jimmy is going to make the team easily. Seth thought that he needs to train harder if he wants to make the team. Seth wants Jimmy to train with him so that Seth can become better. When Seth goes to try outs he ends up making the team.

At the end of the book it had a huge impact on my life.  In the end only the strongest of friendships can replace the most devastating events in a family.

                

The Halloween Haunting

    Today was Halloween night. All of my friends were trick or Treating. It was  almost the end of Halloween and everyone was leaving for home. But one group of kids was going to make a decision that would change their lives. Max, Jared, Chris and Zack were all talking about staying overnight at a house what was supposed to be haunted. The reason they were going to stay at the house is because four kids went to the same house 20 years ago. And none of them ever returned from the house after Halloween. 

  Zack said "I think that we should stay in the house for one whole night.” Everyone agreed on the plan that they would say to their parents that they would stay over at a friend’s house. It worked everyone was at the house on time. Max, Jared, Chris and Zack all set up their bags in the living room. Max set up the camera's in the Basement ,Garage, Kitchen, Bedrooms and the Bathrooms, just in case anything   Zack set  up traps and Me and Chris just watched the door just in case anybody came.

  It was almost time to get ready for the night at the house. We all said that I would sleep in the Bedroom, Zack and Chris would sleep in the Basement and Max would sleep in the Living Room. As the night began nothing really happened but a hour in to the night something strange started to happen. Max saw something in the Cellar in the Basement. Max radioed to Zack saying that he saw something in the Cellar. Zack went to check on it and he said that there was nothing there.

      He said "Everyone watch out for anything out of the ordinary." Next Max said that he saw something in my room I got up and looked around the room and saw nothing. I said "Maybe something is wrong with the computer."  The next thing I hear was the sound of Max screaming at the top of his lungs. Everyone runs to where Max was and all I see is Max's Head on the top of a vase.

    Everyone started to head to the door but then as they are ready to open the door. The door become's locked from outside. Zack said "I got to get out of here." Then Zack heads for the bedroom and me and Chris run down to the basement. I radio for Zack and the only thing that I hear is Zack screaming and trying to tell me “There is a exit in the Panic Room upstairs it will take you underground and there will be the exit.”

    Chris and I both agree that we should try to sneak past the bed room and get to the panic room. I say to Chris “I will lead and when I say to come up you can follow me up the stairs.” As I start to walk up the stairs I see the beast that killed two of my friends. I tell Chris to stay still and be quiet. The Beast walks right in one of the traps it gets hit by the hammer. The Beast is hit and stopped but only for a while. Then as it tries to get back up Chris and I run up the stairs the Beast starts to come after us. We reach the Panic Room and start to look for the exit. Then as we are leaving Chris feels something on his leg and he gets pulled back.

Chris said “Go and get some help I’ll hold him off.” As I run to the light I see that people are walking around and I yell. “Somebody help my friends are trapped inside the house.” Everyone ignores me and forgets about it. I still remember that day like it was yesterday. I will never forget my friends who died in that house.
