**A Night to Remember** By: QE's Fifth Graders I was walking home from the store one late night when I heard a groaning noise coming from a wooded area nearby. I had decided that it would be safer for me to continue to walk #|home instead of __checking__ out where the noise was coming from. Just as I began to speed up my pace, I heard a low cry for help followed by my name, "Andrew." Who could possibly need my help and how do they know my name? My curiosity got the best of me and I had to check out the mystery voice. I hope the old saying isn't true that "curiosity killed the cat." (Mr. Wieand) As I walked further into the woods, the air got colder and the tiny hairs on my neck started to rise. The #|beat of my heart in my chest started to race faster and faster. "Boom, boom. Boom, boom." The moon that was once shining so brightly, now seemed like a distant glow as the towering trees blocked the shine. The sound of the groan continued to echo through the trees. Who could possibly know who I am? I slowed my gait as I saw the massive creature standing in front of me. "Ahhhhhhh", I screamed. (Mrs. Riedi) The chills got worse down my neck to my toes. I was just about to turn around to walk back home when suddenly a huge shadow passed,I ran as fast as I could but the shadow was gone when I looked back? Who could it be there was a range of options when the shadow was back.(Makayla Jones) The shadow was bigger then I thought any shadow could be, or at least a shadow of a human could get. The voice from the shadow was loud but didn't sound quite like a voice, more like a roar or growl, as it said "Andrew give me your beef jerky" thats when I saw the shape become clear out of the shadows and realized, oh my gosh, its Sasquatch, and the commercials must be true Sasquatch really loves beef jerky. (Tyler Richardson) I offered my beef jerky to the Sasquatch, but it was not enough to hold back the angry growl of the Sasquatch, so I used plan B. I invited the Sasquatch to join me at a campifre. where story telling and s'more eating is held. With a puzzled look and a slow nod, the Sasquatch followed me to the Campfire. We shared some s'mores, and told of the story about the Big Purple Gorilla who wanted to play tag. As I finished my story the Sasquatch slowly reach out his big hairy arm, as my eyes grew bigger, my heart pounded louder not sure if I should scream or run, the Sasquatch said is a funny voice, "Tag your It." Everyone at the campfire laughed. As it turned out it wasn't about the beef jerky at all, the Sasquatch just wanted to make friends. (Marcus Milkowich)
