Lesson learned

When i was about seven years old me and two of my other brothers were walking and we saw this boat we thought that someone had just left it. So we went up to it and started looking inside of it and we saw that there were like three fishing poles and then a whole bunch of fishing tools. so we took the stuff with us. but when we got home my mom asked where we got all the stuff from and we told her that we found it in side of a boat she made me and my brothers take it back. And when we got there the man that owned the boat was looking inside of it so we started walking toward him and told him that we had taken the fishing stuff from his boat and he told us that he could call the cops but that he wasn't going to and he hoped that we had learned our lesson and we did.

Comma What

My father had left our house in the midst of a fight, between Lindsey and my mother, my mother was trying to get Lindsey to go with her to the Y to swim. Without thinking Lindsey had blared, "I'd rather die!" ,at the top of her lungs. My father watched as my mother froze then burst fleeing to their bedroom to wail behind the door. He quietly tucked his notebook in his jacket pocket ,took the car keys off the hook by the back door, and snuck out.

Story Spinner

As the old man approached my friends and me i told them that we should go cause he acted kind of funny but they did not want to listen to me and told me that nothing was going to happen. so we stayed and nothing happened that night but we went back a week later and he was sitting there with blood on his hands and we asked him why he had blood all over him and he told use that he could not tell us.

So one night we went to his house and sat around and waited to see what he had been doing to get blood all over him but he never came out and we went to sleep up under a tree and the next morning when we woke up we were inside his and we tried to get out but all the doors were locked. So we sat around and wondered why he had us locked in his house and then we started hearing this noise and it was coming from outside so we walked over to the window but we could not see anything.

And the man came in the house with a flashlight acting all gibberish and we asked him was he had been doing and he told us that he was going to give us three seconds to get out of his house or he was going to kill us so we didn't pick our shoes up we just ran outside barefoot and grab the bicycle and took off down the road and we never saw that man again.
