The Bomber By Oliver Armstrong

Image
The detective looked at the envelope. It was bright red with a silver sticker but no postage. It was just left next to the door.  The detective lifted the envelope and opened it. Inside was a message that read  “You have 48 hours until a bomb will blow and wreck Times Square”  That was 43 hours ago and Detective Adams has yet to find who planted the bomb and how to defuse it.  He has already interrogated  62 different people 24-7, that's about 2 interrogations per hour. But that's not stopping him. He doesn't have much time but there’s one left, Arnold Keith.  Detective Adams looks Arnold straight in the eye. Arnold stares back. “ Did you do i t?” Asks Adams  “No,” replied Arnold  “But I know who did do it”  “What do you mean, do you even know why you’re here?” asked Adams. “yes” answers Arnold.  “But how?” Adams says  “I know some people” answers Arnold.

Just Five More Minutes -- by Yuki (Guest Writer), and edited by Jeffery Star

How badly he wanted to take his son's phone, and smash it on the kitchen counter. He could hear the screen cracking and little flakes of glass falling all over the floor. He would finally be free from the constant monotonic sounds of youtubers talking loudly and obnoxiously, one after the other without a break. He longed to talk with his son, just him and he, without those youtubers around.   He grabbed the phone as his son was clinching to it. "Give me the phone, son" His son's face stayed glued to the screen, as he asked: "Can I watch 5 more minutes dad?" "Sure son, 5 more minutes."

The Librarian

By Jeffrey Star Charlie Davidson liked his fair share of sports and video games but there was 1 thing that he loved most in the world; reading.  Charlie loved reading. He had read all the classics Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and others but what he loved most of all were short stories by O. Henry. Books were his only way to get away from it all and his favorite place to read was on the green bean bag chair in the school library where he had the best school librarian Ms. Jessie.  If she wasn’t the school librarian he didn’t know what he would do.
