Scary Flash Fiction
By Willie J. from Miles Park School, Cleveland, Ohio
“Seen a eye,” my sister cried.
“A head, I saw a head.” I look and fire was coming out my mouth and when it happened my sister was on fire, but she was still alive. I knew that death road was coming my way. So when I heard that my sister died, then I knew it was death road.
Time to kill again. So I went to find him. He was gone. So I look and look until finally ten of the men was dead. It was one more. I find him and put him in pain, and then killed him, and the police never knew who it was.
I was free.
Sometime police ask, “Who Death Punch?”
I say, “I don’t know.”
A Time of Fear
By Shawn P. from William Cullen Bryant School, Cleveland Ohio
I am from a time where only few men and women had the privilege of an education.
Everywhere I look I see a whip that makes a sound that strikes fear into the air.
I see many men and women who have been bought, sold, hurt, and had their soul and hope drained from them.
I am from a time where you have to watch your step because of all the blood and fears that were shed over the time.
I am from a time where if one disobeys their master they suffer the consequences of pain from the whip that on sight makes you want to cry and scream.
I am from the slavery times where you can only dream of what freedom really is.

Looking Out The Window I See
By Amier at the East Cleveland Public Library Summer Creative Writing Club
Looking out my window I see
a pool, a water park, hotels,
parking lot, trees, and blue birds.
Looking out my window I see
a field with hay and a big tree.
The field was made
when an abandoned house
was torn down.

On My Way to Fairfax
By Brandon at Fairfax School
On my way to Fairfax I had to pass the country swamp.
When I looked down I noticed something
that looked like a over sized shoe.
It thought it looked like Lebron’s clubbing shoe.
As I took a closer look
it was the toothless Ohio Crocodile
he had a spikey spine that rolls up
when I got closer I thought
taking him to Ms. Marbury.
She really likes animals
but he smelled like a swamp
he made a crackle sound when he walked.
I’m glad it was warm outside.
