.." Miss Glaewel says with a sad tone"It ended" One classmate says to the teacher trying to correct her"No, Technically it stopped..." Miss Glaewel sa...s"The fight in Eker Veldt was the most gruesome one. That battle alone accounted for almost half of the casualties reported in the war.It was the only time where the main armies of every civilization in conflict faced each other at the same time. It lasted for almost 5 days where everyone fought practically without stopping.In the end every side. "I thought you were going to stay, did you change your mind?"Exaggerating my west Texas drawl, I replied, "Wal Miss Townsend, yore pappy done introduced himself and made it plain to me that the barbeque was for friends and family.

She jumped off the horse and grabbed my arm. "Wait a damn minute. Did he really say that?" Yeah,. Seems that sisters do a lot of things alike. She asked if I was OK with her balling Jerry and I assured her I was as long as I could watch. Mary made it very clear that she wanted to watch to as well. We cleaned up the sight and made preparations for the tent. We had chosen a great location to set up camp. Our closest neighbor was at least a hundred yards away. So privacy, although not total, was good.It was a really beautiful night out. And sleeping on top of the sleeping bags was going to be. It WAS Santa from the 99cent store, the real Santa Claus! Chris was sure of it. He dared topeek again. Santa was gone. Chris rubbed his eyes. The girl's bike andthe dress were still there but that was all. Santa had disappeared Imust be dreaming, he thought. He scurried back to his room.He was tossing and turning most of the remainder of the night. What'sgoing on? Didn't Santa understand my letter? He thought I was a girl.Not that I WANTED to be girl. Now what? Mom and Dad will wonder why Igot.
