hapter 1: Taylor
There was a boy named Taylor. He had a cat named, Jack. He wanted to be sailor like his
brother. One day, Taylor asked his parents if he can go sailing with his older brother. The answer
was, “Nooooooooooooooooooooo!
Your brother is 20 years old, and you are only 10 years old! What if you meet pirates?! Last time, your
brother met one!”
“Fine!!!!!!!!!!!” Taylor yelled. And he went up to the stairs, go to his room and shut the door very
loudly. He even saw little wooden piece fall on the ground from the door. Then, he started to cry.
Chapter 2: Run away
At that night, when everyone was asleep, Taylor ran out from his house with his cat, Jack. Before
he leaves, he made a check list:
Water (o)
Clothing (o)
Food (o)
Cat Food (o)
Cat clothing (o)
Plan (o)
The cat meows. “Yeah, I understand. I’m doing the same thinking as you.”
Then, they started walking…
Chapter 3: Little girl
He, no,no,no, They (If you count for cat) went to Marina. They had to found an empty boat. Luckily, they
found one! They ride on it, and start on. In a few minutes, he heard girl crying. Taylor turned back. He saw
a little girl crying behind him. He tried to stay calm, but he started to scream. The girl said, “Hey, hey.
What the rush? I’m not here to tell the police… And stop screaming! That’s going to let my ear fall off. You
know?”
“But, what, how, the?”
“Hey, can you even talk?” girl said.
“Yep, yep. I’m back.”
“Oops, I’m here to tell you somethin’. This boat is cursed… You have to go back to that marina
before you die from this boat!”
Then the girl was gone. Taylor looked up. Then he saw really big wave coming from him! Then..
splash!!!!!!!!!!!
Chapter 4: True story for that girl…
Before Taylor drown, he got only one story in his mind. It was “A ghost.” One year ago, his
brother told him…
“Once, I was riding a ship by myself. Then I turned back because I heard the girl’s voice. I talk to
her, and in few moments, I was drowning…I heard that there was a pirate family was sailing, and there was
the big wave coming for them. And every night, if you are sailing alone, that girl shows up to kill other
people like how she died…”
Chapter 5: Everest… and monster!
Taylor waked up in a really cold place. It was Everest! The highest mountain ever!
 “It’s nice that I
brought my winter clothing. Right?”
Cat meowed.
“Fine! You got it too, because you are a smarty cat!”
Then, he heard screaming. The sound was coming out from the top of the mountain. Taylor
looked up. He saw a man hurting other person. He had a staff, and it was full of ice. He shot the person, and
it froze. And if the man touch the person twice, it went all fine. Taylor was so surprise for all that magic
power.
