Julie’s Strange Story: The First Rainbow
Once there was a strange, magic place made of clouds. It was in a light-blue sky. It smelled a little sweet like flowers. There were many trees made of green and brown clouds and 50 pretty colored birds. They had a swimming pool of rainwater.
One day the birds were playing a flying game and the red bird said to the orange bird "I am better than you” and the orange bird said, "No, I am better than you!" They had to have a contest to know who was best.
The first bird was red, the second bird was orange, the third bird was yellow, the fourth bird was green, the fifth bird was blue, and the sixth bird was purple. When the contest finished every bird was together at the finish line. All the birds won! Everybody was happy and the red and orange bird said, “We are both good flyers.” Then the birds looked over at the race place and saw beautiful colors in the sky.
It was wonderful, they made the first rainbow!

SangHyeon’s Story
Once there was a magic sewer. It was very dirty, disgusting, and dark and there was a lot of food waste and poo! It smelled terrible. Dwarfs and trolls lived there and they would fight all the time.
They fought all the time because there was a troll betrayal hundreds of years in the past. There was a troll war and almost all the dwarfs died. The many trolls used sticks and threw dirty food waste to fight, the few dwarfs fought with swords and shields and armor.
The Dwarf leader had many muscles and a very scarred face. He held a hammer and his name was Genocider.
The troll leader was ugly, he had very small muscles a face made of boogers and food waste. His name was Trash.
One day the trolls and dwarfs went to fight at Waste Mountain. The Dwarfs and trolls met, and they were angry! No one was winning in the beginning. The troll army was throwing food waste and chemicals. The dwarfs were using the shield to guard from the chemicals. Then some dwarfs were hit with chemicals and they changed into trolls.
Genocider was angry! He walked around and killed 1000 trolls. But the troll army was made of 10,000 trolls. Now Trash was very angry so he asked his troll scientist to bring the chemical missile. Genocider called a giant. The giant grabbed the missile and ate it! He exploded into a million pieces. Then Genocider attacked with his 500 Dwarfs. Genocider made genocide by killing all of the trolls.

Joseph’s Strange Story
In the year 6013 the sun was about to explode.
A few small groups of people were fighting to live on the dying planet. They were like cavemen and had lost almost all their technology. Other planets in the solar system started to collapse. The people were worried, they were afraid. Using the best scientists the people made a machine that could crush and kill anything.
They knew aliens were coming to slay them and use them for weird science--like making strange monsters. They had a big battle, it was bloody and many, many people died. Soon there was only one human. The aliens took him into space and no one was ever seen again.

Eric’s Strange Story
Once there was a strange place inside a black hole. Inside the black hole, there is a secret, hidden, red planet. The lucky space travelers who went into the black hole were pulled onto the planet and could breathe. Only one thing was alive on the planet, a little alien about the size of a dog and about the shape of orange grapes.
One day three space travelers came to the planet. They were so hungry so they hunted the alien and ate him for brunch! They ate the whole alien but they were hungry again so they drank the water from the planet. They sat down and rubbed their bellies and said "I am VERY full."
Three seconds later they heard thunder and then...
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They saw the alien again one last time before they exploded!

Jinny’s Strange Story
Once there was a dark and strange place. The rooms were really messy and dirty, filled with broken chairs and old papers. The air was cold and the feeling was scary. It smelled old and a little like the garbage inside. Nothing lived there.
One day my friends and I visited the strange place. We walked in and somebody (maybe a ghost!) closed the door. We could not open it. I wanted to go back home. My friend started to cry. Another friend said "I hear some scary laughing in the room!' I looked around but I didn't see anything. Then I heard a voice, he said "You will die." Suddenly the door opened and we ran home.
Ninety years later I was dancing to K-pop and the same ghost voice came into the house. I got a picture of the Buddha and the ghost screamed:
“I will be back!”
I smiled a scary, old smile and said “Ok, It's fine, everybody dies one day.”
