She knew there had been some mysterious things happening at the place. The disappearance of paper and computers was one of those things. She intended to get down to the mystery. It had to be a wild creature on the loose. It just had to be. Everything was cleaned daily. The building was locked shut at night. And she had a nighttime job now. The graveyard shift. She wandered the place until she go...[Read Full Post] Wed, 14 Jan 2026 10:23:10 EST https://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/1105977 https://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/1105977 Longest night Of the year Dec. 21 Just before Christmas Christmas lights twinkle Snow lingers on the grass The hoot of an owl Breaks the silence Cuddling by the fireplace Children waits for Santa Songs of winter wonderland Pulls them to sleep Line Count: 12 [Link To Item #2216416] ...[Read Full Post] Mon, 29 Dec 2025 19:49:50 EST https://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/1104695 https://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/1104695 Thank you for Flowers Birds Fish Thank you for Pens Notebooks Computers Happy Thanksgiving all I am grateful Line Count: 10 [Link To Item #2235153] Thu, 27 Nov 2025 17:37:57 EST https://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/1102525 https://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/1102525 The red, white, and blue flies Thank you A red poppy in hand To pass out The price is paid Thank you You served this country Well To all veterans Thank you Line count: 10 Contest: [Link To Item #2235153] Activity: [Link To Item #423698] Sat, 15 Nov 2025 00:34:57 EST https://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/1101633 https://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/1101633 We cut across the field and stop at a dead end. Looking around, all I see are trees to one side, marking the edge of the woods, and a sign at the edge of the dead end. This sign means nothing to me. Strangely, though, I couldn't stop staring at it. What the fudge is so interesting about this sign? I couldnât figure it out. This place looks to be the edge of the Forbidden Woods. âLetâs go.

Just one motorboat out there in the lake with nobody in it? Something was off. Very off. I heard rumors, but those are just that- rumors. One mile away is the ocean. I wanted to investigate this matter before the police took over, possibly the military. Usually all the dinosaurs are docile. No wild ones left. They went extinct in the wild. So why would there be a disappearance now?

The puppy sniffed the dog door and whimpered. What adventures it could experience if it went out there. Then the warning came again. Without hesitating, the puppy climbed through the doggy door to outside. A blast of cold air hit its face immediately and it whimpered. Still, it had business to do.
