The Book
by Savannah Newkirk

One summer day I was walking down the road when I saw one of my friends. I stopped to say hi but they just kept walking. I yelled," Cody why won't you answer me!?!" But he just kept going. I thought 'What is going on here? Why is he ignoring me?' I looked down at my hands to dicover that they were transparent I thought ' Why am I transparent?' I walked home and tryed to grab the door nob only to find that I could not for my hand pasted right through it. I walked through the door to find my mo crying harder than I had ever seen her cry before. I walked up to her and said,"What's wrong, Mom?" but she didn't answer me. I thought 'Am I a ghost? How did this happen?' I started to panic and I ran in circles thinking 'How did this happen? Why me?' then I rembered a srange book that Leah once showed me. I ran as fast as I could to her house only to find that she wasn't there. I just sat down on the couch to wait for her to arrive home. Suddenly two hours later her and her family walked in the door. I said," Leah do you still have that book?" As soon as I said that she looked over to me and got a look of pure horror and shock on her face. I said,"Leah, What's wrong?" She could only reaspond with," Bbbbut your dead. How can you be here?" Her parents looked over to where I was sitting but apparently they did not see me. They said,"Leah you are just seeing things. Why don't you go to bed." She nodded and headed to her room and I followed her. I said,"Leah, please help me. I can't find out what happened to me or why. I don't know why I'm a ghost but I am." as I started to sob and Leah looked at me and said,"I'm not seeing things. This really is Savannah. I can only tell you what I know." So Leah told me "That student was you Savannah." she said as I sat there in complete shock of what I just heard. I said," I was murdered?" She nodded her head as I once more started to sob. I said," I will never know the joy of having a family. I will never drive my first car. I will never have my first kiss. All because someone wanted to prove they were serious about a hold-up." I said while I was sobbing. Leah tryed her best to cheer me up but I just wouldn't stop sobbing. I just couldn't stand the fact that I was dead and that guy killed me. That he took away my life. I thought of that and just at that moment I was thrown from my thoughts by a scream. I looked around to find that the scream had come from outside. I said," Leah, did you hear that?" and before I could finish the question she said," Yeah! We need to check it out." So at that moment we ran out the door , me going through the wall, we stoped outside to see a man with a knife chasing a lady. Leah got a look of suprise on her face and said," That is the man who killed you!" When I heard this I was inraged that he was trying to take another life for no reason. At that I ran torwards him and stopped just in front of him and he got a look of horror on his face. He said," I shot you. You're suppose to be dead." When I heard this I said," I am dead. You took everything away form me! You took away my life!" At that I started to throw punches at him and every time I hit him I felt his clothes and his body. I though ' What is going on? I'm actuly punching him?' and was snapped back to reality when I heard Leah yell," Savannah, look out!" but by the time I looked up he had already hit me and everything went dark.
