Original Stories
Blue Night
by Monroe, age 6, Minnesota
Once every blue moon, everything the moonbeams touch turns blue. It lasts for one whole week, and it's a joyous time for celebrations. They have blue fireworks, they paint their face blue and they celebrate our place in the universe. Then, it just stops. The town wakes up and everything fades back to its own color.
Our adaptation of “Blue Night” was composed by Elen Winter, produced by Ellen Winter, Associate Produced by Aleca Piper and Brendan O’Grady, with vocal arrangements by Ellen Winter and Nimene Wureh and vocal direction by Jack Mitchell.
The Unlucky Man
by Mia, age 10, Massachusetts
there was once a very unlucky man named Dave, the reason why he was so unlucky was because whenever he wanted to use the bathroom it was clogged, whenever he waited to cross the road a car would come by and splash him, if he wanted to pick a book all the shelves would fall. But one day Dave was up in his attic and found a map, so he followed it, it led him through caves with bats, he had to walk through muddy swamps and a meadow, snakes bit him and birds pecked his head. finally he was at his destination, there where 2 potions in front of him. he was hoping he would be lucky this time, he picked the one on the right. he chose correctly! but because he was so unlucky he was now only a normal person, sometimes he was lucky, sometimes he wasn't THE END!!
