I like Math because at first it is confusing but when you understand it you get all excited.

My favorite thing to do in Math is Fractions.

   Pill Buster and the Haunted House

                         Joe the Pillbug was minding his own business on one breezy October evening. He could feel the cold, brown, soil under his legs as he was scurrying through the grass. Joe just finished trick or treating and he got lots of candy. He was on his way home to go boast to his brothers and  sisters how much candy he got. But he was getting tired, his bag of candy felt like it was getting heavier and heavier. He fell down at the base of a tree. He looked up at the tree and there he saw a tiny door. A wide grin like expression appeared on his face. He dropped his bag of candy and went over to the door. Surprisingly the door was unlocked. He climbed through the door and it closed with a thump behind him. The interior looked like dark and gloomy all the furniture was gray and other dark colors. There was a closet next to the door and Joe decided to check it out.

                     Inside the closet was a cool looking backpack. He put it on his back, it was heavy. He looked inside and saw a giant , gray , metal , cylinder. on the side it said ‘’ GhostSucker9000.’’ A tube ran out from the cylinder and went through a hole in the backpack. On the outside was a little switch that could turn the sucker on and off. The excited pillbug shut the pack and put it on his back. ‘’Cool’’ he thought ‘’ now I have the power to suck ghosts!’’ He shut the closet door and looked around. He thought he should go upstairs as he was walking up their stairs the ground started to shake. The carpet on the stair lifted and slanted down. Joe slid down the stairs in confusement. Then he saw it. Joe was so surprised he could of had fainted.

                       One shimmering, red, medium sized, ghost floating in the air at the top of the stairs. Exponentially two more joined in. They had beady, red, eyes with sharp, white, talons. Their mouth s were filled with sharp fangs. They started speeding down the stairs ready to attack. Joe did the only thing his mind told him to, flip the switch. The next moment the the last ghosts lower half was in the sucker and the front slowly going closer into the tube. Then the ghosts were gone.

                        Joe kept constantly thinking about the ghosts and when they might attack again. But he started to think about food. He crawled down the dark hall and finally found the kitchen door. But he could not get in because the door was locked. But on the door there was a code panel. He had to figure out a four digit number to get in. He started to think of school with all the variables  and simplifying fractions and stuff .  The n he looked up and saw numbers on the ceiling. Joe tried to evaluate the numbers in his head. The numbers were 2 , 4 , 3 , 1. He tried them in order but that did not work but then he substituted the 2 with the 1 and the 3 with a 4. The door unlocked. He walked into the kitchen and saw 20 ghost gathered around a table distributing food to each other, they looked at Joe and grinned.  TO BE CONTINUED!!!!!!!!!!!!!
