Everyone that I know has something of worth to him or her. It could either be a guitar that is of financial worth or something that is considered to be a priceless moment. For me, my item of financial worth is my hp laptop. I do all my work and everything on it. A priceless moment that I have had before is whenever I ride my bike. I love the feeling of the wind in my hair and the rush of going really fast down a big hill.
My favorite item of financial worth is my computer. “I love you computer, you’re like a brother to me.” I said. I clicked on the password, typed it in, and whoosh, my computer flashes to the Patriots logo, and all my icons appear almost out of nowhere. I click on my AIM icon and type in my password. I sign in and start to talk to everyone that is on at the time. I can be on AIM for hours at a time talking to person after person once they sign in.
Even if I am doing homework I am in front of my computer talking to everyone. Sometimes I even discuss with people on IM the homework and we work together on it to get it done twice as fast. I use it when I am stumped on making a map of trade routes in history class, or just when I am stumped on any work for any class. My computer is my life. Without it I wouldn’t get half the work that I do get done, done.
I also use my computer to play a ton of games. There is so many game sites that I go on like addicting games or new grounds or any other gaming site. My favorite game to play on any site is the helicopter game. You are this helicopter see, and you have to fly it as far as you can. There are these floating blocks that you have to avoid and once you hit one you lose. I got I think like over 2000 miles before hitting a wall. It was the highest score that I had ever gotten.
…
I have a ton of priceless moments during my life so far. Like this one time when I was only like five or so, my dad bought me a new bike and was going to teach me how to ride it. There I was, watching as my dad took the bike out of the box and started to put it together according to the instructions. He had already taught me almost every tool he had so I was his tool fetcher. He needed allen wrenches and screw drivers and so on.
After what seemed like forever there it was, my brand new bike. “Oh thank you daddy,” I said in a happy way. I was so happy that I ran around in joy. Then, out of nowhere, my dad picks me up and puts me on the bike. But the only problem was that this was my first time ever to ride a bike without training wheels. “Daddy, I am scared.” I said very frightened. “There is nothing to worry about, I am here and I will not let go.”
So there I was, sitting on my bike, and my dad started to push me. I was doing it. I was riding my bike. Then out of nowhere, my dad lets go of the bike and I start to sail. I was going so fast that my dad had to yell to me to stop going so fast. Then, I fell off and my whole left arm got scraped onto the pavement. I was crying and really mad at my dad.
I got up and walked into the house, cleaned up and got right back outside to do it again. This time I biked on our lawn so that if I fell it would be on nice soft grass. But I didn’t need it. It was like I was a pro. I road without stopping of falling on my side, I was so happy. It was the best moment of my life and my dad was there too which made it all the more better. Just like you, I have 2 very dear values in my life. They all don’t have to be of financial value, but sometimes they can be. Out of the two things of value to me I think that my computer is the best. I think this because it is so helpful. I could live happily without my bike riding value, but not without my computer because it is everything to me.

A Black Night - Short Story
It was just like any other day in the town of South Hadley. It was starting to get late out, and the common was full of people talking and laughing to at each other, it was like a big JUBILEE was going on. Doodle, Father Paul, and Granny Williams were talking to each other while walking through the common. Then, all of a sudden, a loud scream came from the other side of the common.
Everyone that was in the common rushed over to see what all the commotion was about. It turned out that there was a dead body right at the edge of the common. She was lying right over the dark green grass, and she was lit up by the street light right over head. She had cuts and bruises all over her body, and she was half naked. Everyone was just staring at her, not knowing what to do. When all of a sudden, a cop broke through the crowd of people and blocked off the whole area with yellow caution tape.
Father Paul’s cell phone started to ring; it was his boss. So him, granny, and doodle ran to the nearest park bench, sat down, and hit the back of it three times in a row. They sunk down into the ground like magic, and no one else saw because they were too occupied by the dead body. They were not magic, though, but, they were secret agents.
“Good evening agents,” said q, the boss of the shsaa (South Hadley secret agents association).
“Good evening,” they all answered at once.
“As you already may know, there is a killer in south Hadley. I need you three to investigate as long and as hard as you can, then take him out before he strikes again,” he said. “You will be given all the latest gear, active camo, body armor, listening bugs, guns, basically anything that you will need. And agents please hurry. A killer in South Hadley is not very good for the town reputation.
They got right on it. They went up to the common and started to ask everyone that witnessed it questions, just looking for any INKLING that might allow to find the killer. They kept in touch with each other by using a headset that fit in their ear, so no one could see it. Everything that everyone told them was all the same; she just rose right out of the ground. After all the interigations, they realized that it must have been someone working in the SHSAA.
They went right back to the HQ, and went right to the person that controls the lifts up to the common. His name was mike, and he knew something was up when the three of them approached him. They started to ask him what he was doing when she appeared. He said that he was with his girlfriend on a date, and his girlfriend, another agent, confirmed it. So they were at a dead end.
They could not figure out anyone else that would know how to work the lifts, then, out of nowhere, doodle had a great idea.
“Hey guys, how about q.” he asked. “he has a lot of LEGERDEMAIN to work everything in the entire agency, I mean, he has been here for over 30 years, so he must know. I know it is crazy, but it is the only lead that we have.”
They went right to his office and started to ask him some questions. They gave him an entire ANECDOTE on all their findings of the case. that led to them getting to how they suspected him. then, out of nowhere, he pulled a shotgun out that he had conceled under his desk.
“So, you got it all figured out then, don’t you. I did not think that you would be good enough to discover that it was me. But I won’t have to worry about that, I have a plane ticket to Brittan for tomorrow morning, and I am going to be on it, and there is nothing that you can do.” Then, he shot them all right square in the chest, and he fled to the airport right away. But he forgot one thing; the agents were wearing body armor.
They all got up and rushed to the co boss of the agency. They told him everything that he had told them, and also that he shot them right in the body armor, so it just gave them a bruise. The one thing bad that happened was that doodle died. The shot was too powerful for him. He was thrown into the wall behind him and got a concussion and died.
“Wow. That sounds like a real situation that we have on our hands.” He said. “The first thing that you two should do is get to the airport right away. You can’t let him get away no matter what. He is a murderer, and you know what we do to murderers.”
They got right on it, driving right to the nearest airport. Once there, they searched all the terminals with planes going to Britain. After about one hour of looking, they finally found him. He was walking down the hallway going to the plane. They ran right at him. They caught him right before he got onto the plane. He was like a human BULWARK of muscle; and was also very STALWART. He tried to fight, but the two of them overwhelmed him.
“How did you two not die? I shot you right in the chest with a shot gun shell.” He asked.
“Do you know what body armor is. You suggested it to us.” Father Paul said. He shouted in anger and went with a fight, but he had no chance. They took him right to jail after they left the airport.Then, he got a SUPPLIANT attitude going, but they did not fall for it. They told the police everything, and they took him in and said he was going to be in jail for a very long time.
