Useful Quotes

Rachel is the self-professed grilled cheese master in the family. Today, as she was making sandwiches, she was telling Pam how to make them. Pam's an impatient cook and scorches her grilled cheese every time. (Hey, at least she's consistent!)

Two quotes from Rachel which are worth repeating in any situation:

"Mayonnaise fries better"

"You can't walk away from a cheese sandwich or else it feels betrayed."

Suspense

Rachel wrote this story for her writing class.

The assignment was “Suspense.”
She got an A+.
Her teacher said that she nailed it.

As I stare out of my bedroom window, grounded for a week, I’m looking at the cornfield, large, empty, there’s fog floating over it. It’s Halloween night. Kids ring our doorbell and beg for food. How annoying.

Late the same night I wake up. It’s 2:00 in the morning. I’m strangely drawn to the window. I look out; I see a strange dark person-shaped shadow run into the cornfield. The shadow was carrying something. It looked heavy. I had to check this out.

I got my flashlight, a jacket, and courage together. I carefully and quietly opened my window. That was the last time I was ever in my room. I hit the ground with a sharp “crunch” noise.

“Darn! Owww!”

I had broken my ankle. I was stranded. The shadowy figure came towards me as I wallowed in pain.
