Hero by a Rash...or maybe not! Chapter 1

16 years of life to be put in jail til I die!

            This sucks, by the way my name is Antonio Charles, I live in Boston, Massachusetts. I just got put in jail for life for doing something stupid, I'm not saying I did it but I'm not saying I didn't either. It all started out when me and my friend Jack Taylor were walking to the store to grub on some food after coming from school. All of a sudden some bullies from our school came out from nowhere and I knew we were doomed .

            There was three of them, the one on the left was Prince a.k.a. Retard, he was short and skinny no taller than me but he had a big reputation for his speed, which makes him at a huge advantage. The reason I call him retard is because he doesn't know nothing at all!

            The one on the right was Tom a.k.a. Fatty, he was short and fat weighing about 400 pounds, lacking any physical ability. But that's whats made him so unique, all that blubber is like a force field and he has a deadly punch.

            And last but not least the one in the middle, Jimmy a.k.a Ugly, he was the biggest, toughest, most ruthless person at Eastway high school. Six foot eight, 250 pounds, he's like a fighting Le'bron James. Did I also mention that he beat me up several times, the many scars on his body scares me. I have no chance against him!

            I said to them "what's up three stooges" trying to sound funny. They came out with a little snicker, then started to chase us. I was one of the fastest people in the school unlike my friend here Jack, he's slower than fatty! I told him to run as fast as he can but it was no use they had already caught up to him beating the crap out of him. I realized that it was only Fatty and Retard that was beating him up, then without a second to think somebody hit me from behind and I knew who it was. I fell to the ground feeling like I was paralyzed than a big shadow hovered over me and in a loud deep voice Ugly said "still wanna be a comedian because I have a whole lot of laugh I want to give to you!
           Next thing you know I was running as fast as I can. I had realized I was going to "The Woods" and  this wasn't no regular woods, this place had the most deadliest animals in the world from ten feet tall to as short as an inch, but I knew it was better than being pulverized by Ugly so I took a risk. When I got there, it was blurry and hard to see and there was absolutely no path to take. I didn't see any animals so I was sorta relieved about one less thing to worry about so I started sprinting as fast as I could feeling like the fastest man in the world. I looked behind me and I saw Ugly getting closer to me bit by bit . In a matter of seconds he had caught up and tackled me constantly punching me in the face like a punching bag, next thing you know I blacked out.

          I woke up in the hospital with a bunch of bandages on my face and it stung like crazy. My mom was sitting next to me crying because she was so happy I was alive. I told her "I only got a couple of punches at the face!" I was yelling at her not knowing it then she smiled " you are so bipolar" she said it sarcastically, but I knew she was telling the truth. I said " I'm sorry, I don't know what got over me. "It's okay" then, the doctor came in he started talking about me staying at home for a couple of weeks but I didn't want to stay home, I wanted to go to school and give Ugly his payback for beating me up but I knew I had no chance, then a glimpse of Jack came up in my head than I jolted up startling my mom and the doctor. I started sprinting out of the room and then the Hospital, I went to J.K St. where Jack had gotten beaten up and when I got there all I saw was blood stains. I started to the school to see if he was in Ms. Lauren class because it was 12:00 already. I bulged in the door like I was about to kill somebody, but he wasn't there. Ms. Lauren had a shocked but angry face, " Antonio Charles, what are you doing with hospital clothes on and why are you not at school!" I said "isn't it obvious, an accident happened and that's why I didn't come to school".
         Then I started running down the hall only to see Ugly and his gang of freaks walking. Then without notice I turned left to the cafeteria sighing in relief. I headed for the exit door, went to my house, and sat down to figure where Jack had gone, I started thinking, he couldn't be at his house because he doesn't have one. His family got killed when he was 5 by a group named the NIG's and he started living on the streets with no money, no food, and no clothes. Finally, I had came along to see him in a dark alley and helped him, I took him to my house and gave him some food and clothes but my Mom wouldn't let him live with us. She said he will be too much of a responsibility and from that day on whenever he got hungry or needed a extra pair of clothes, I supplied him. That's his tragic story.
         I made up a plan, I would go to the school when it was over and I would follow Ugly and his gang to wherever he was at then I would go from there(I know it doesn't sound much but I think it would work. Time to get started!

THe Tale of Venix: King of all gods

People think there is just 12 Greek Olympian gods but it is more to it, there was one more god. A god that saved the other gods from destruction. This time this god isn’t Zeus, this god is no longer seen no one knows where he is but legend tells he will always be by your side if you need help.This is the story about him...

A horrible storm was coming on a cold and breezy greece day and a young boy was about to be born from two poor adults named Veta(the woman) and Anix(the man) living on the streets eating whatever food they can find from the ground to the scraps of the king of  the mysterious land. Veta was panicking and was having trouble breathing , Anix told her “it will be alright” .
            He prayed that the Gods would help them. People were running around like hopeless baby chickens trying to find their mother. At that point the storm was getting closer and it seemed liked as it was getting closer that it was getting worse, Veta was screaming and Anix tried to calm her down but it was no hope, then all of a sudden her stomach started to glow it was a bright golden glow. A man came out of nowhere and told them “to come in his house and they will be safe!”.
            Quickly they went inside. Anix had to pick up her because she couldn’t walk. They carefully tended her and her glowing stomach then, her stomach started to bubble the men said something special is in their, Anix cursed at the men and said “who are you and what have you done to my baby”!
            Then he tried to tackle the men and tried to punch him in the gut but it was no use the man had suddenly disappeared, Anix was startled and Veta was screaming as her stomach suddenly blew up and out came a baby. This baby was floating in the air glowing like the sun and Anix could barely see because it was too bright. The baby gently fell down on Anix’s lap like a leaf falling to the ground from a tree. The baby was shining and suddenly the storm started to go down people started coming out from their houses and surrounded the baby, Veta was asleep, and Anix busted out crying for joy and everybody started to clap and Anix knew that his son was something special. Then something was coming from the sky, more than one thing in a split second 12 stature ‘s of something powerful were on the ground. It was hard to see them because dirt had exploded everywhere . Venix knew exactly who it was the, Olympian gods. The one in the middle was Zeus the almighty god of all of them. To the right of him was Hera, Poseidon, Demeter, Athena, and Dionysus. To the left of him was Apollo, Artemis, Ares, Aphrodite, Hephaestus, and Hermes. Then Zeus said to Anix “give me the baby and I’ll take care of him for you and his great powers he has”.
  Anix quickly said “no!”
             Zeus quickly took the baby from in a flash. All of a sudden the baby landed right back in Anix’s hands. Zeus began to become furious and lightning bolts flashed in the sky, in less in a second the gods were gone.
            The next day, Anix couldn’t decide what to name the baby and Veta was sleep so he didn’t have any help. so he went to John’s house(a old wise man living in the mountains) to see if he could get any suggestions. It took him to walk  about and hour to get there with the baby in his hands. The old man’s house was raggedy-looking, the color on it had faded away so you really cant tell what color it was before.  The man was sitting there like he always does  and Anix said “John, I need your help naming the baby and John  said “I can not help you with a babies name you already know”.Anix was clueless he didn’t know what he was talking about but he just thought it was good.
                 When he got back home Veta was awoke and well she was so happy that she had a son. Anix said “what do you think we should name the baby?”  Without a second to think she blurted out Venix!”
                 She said “its their two names mixed together.”

That’s how Venix was born. He went to save the Olympian gods from getting defeated by Cronus their father eventually they would let Venix in Mount Olympus with his own chair …

                  THE KING!!!!!!!

Why the Ivey's?

This story is about a 13 year-old teen named Ray Ivey who is struggling living in the ghetto where he has  to deal with love, hate, and most of all … pressure.
             SIT BACK AND READ!


My life is horrible, I hate it! I wish I could run away but if I do, I’ll just  be making it worse.  Where would I go? How will I get food or money really? Besides, I’m only 13, and where I come from
getting money isn’t an easy task! Anyway what I’m trying to say is  in Harlem, New York  there is no way that I can get through  all of the obstacles!

On a cold, breezy, Harlem night me and my brother James Ivey was going to a Corner Store to get some food items for my mom. At that time I was only 8 I looked up to my brother all the time, as sorta like my dad since my dad had died a couple of weeks before I was born., so I guess you can say it was a brotherly bond. We went in the store to get the items my mom needed like a jug of milk, some eggs, bread and all that good stuff! The owner was a friendly old man named Chung foo, I know what your are thinking that he’s an old asian man but  he’s actually a 80 year-old black dude. So we said our goodbye’s and went home but on the way we noticed that some gangsters were following us. I figured they were crips because they were wearing blue and white. So me and my brother instead of going right on lincoln avenue we went left I said to my brother “were only 3 blocks away from our house!” in a loud but whispery voice. He said “If we cut this way near the police department they won’t do anything but if we went to the right they would had probably did something to us. Knowing my brother it probably was the right choice. We sat near the police department and waited for them to turn and they didn’t so we got suspicious, I told my brother “I was scared” and he said “it will be alright “. We waited about 30 minutes and I told my brother “we should leave before Mom goes bonanza.” As time passed by we creeped down and peeped through the corner to see if anybody was there but it was pitched black and that really creeped me out and I was starting to think more at the time . I asked my brother “are you in a gang” and he said “of course not!” But I knew he was lying because his voice was getting squeaky and he lies when that happens. He said “ we are going to through the back of our house but be very quiet. So we tip-toed to the back of our house, my heart was thumping so loud I could was sworn I was hearing but maybe I am hallucinating and my legs were shaking but as long as I am with my brother I will be safe I just cant get it through my head. By the time we made to our house it was about 9:30 I assume we slowly opened the door trying not to let my mother here us but the creeking sound  in the door was making me nervous. We went in and  quietly went upstairs when we heard a loud scream come from downstairs, then all of a sudden my brother was running downstairs and he yelled “put her down!” Then I ran downstairs and I saw to Crips choking my mom and all of a sudden I busted out in tears. My brother ran towards them and tackled both of them down punched one of them in the face and upper-cutted the other one and just the matter of seconds both of them were on the floor knocked out cold. My mom was on the floor and she was breathing hard so James called one of his homies named Jason a.k.a Slick daddy.
By the time we got to the hospital she was barely breathing, I told her “hang in there mom, your’e going to be alright” not even knowing what I was saying it just sounded good. We sat in the waiting room for an hour and boy I was nervous so nervous I had a hard time breathing. The dostor came out of the room and looked sad and I knew that wasn’t a good sign she said “do you know if your mom has been smoking cigarettes?” James said “yes she used to about five years ago and then she stopped”. My eyes just started tearing up, I didn’t even remember that mom smoked I shouted “when did mom started smoking!” He didn’t say anything and all of sudden I just ran out of the hospital not even thinking.

Here I am now living by myself, in the streets and I don’t have no food and my clothes are trashed up and I’m sitting here wondering why God had to do it to the Ivey’s?

Going to the Superbowl 2004

As I was getting ready to leave with my mom to go the superbowl 38, I was so excited in, a hurry I had forgot to put on my shoes. When I went to go get them their must have been a professional cook, because I smelt a delicious scent of cookies coming from my house. My mom had made some cookies and they tasted great!

The trip was very long and I thought the ride would never end, but I saw some interesting things along the way like big cities and big farms. By the time we got to the stadium there was alot of people in line waiting to get tickets for the big game, people everywhere bumping me, and probably not even seeing me right beside them because I'm so small!

My mom told me to be good and have fun at the game even though I know it's just a warning to stay out of trouble or I'll be in even more trouble when she gets done with me. When it was halftime me and my mom went to go get some snacks when we saw my Grandma and some of my Aunt's and Uncle's and cousins too. I didn't even think they would be coming to the Superbowl too. I was so glad that they came because that means even more fun.

At the 4th quarter the Panther's missed a field goal kick losing to the Patriots 29-32, but I knew that the Panthers at least tried and that's all that matters. After leaving, we went to my Grandma's house in Monroe, North Carolina and ate a big meal, and after watching that football game I wanted to play football too!

When I got to this person's house the lights were on, so I knew something was wrong, I knocked on the door and a man came to the door and he greeted us with pleasure I introduced myself and the other officers introduced themselves.
