BRAEBURN:
"Look where your shouting and yelling and screaming got us" Horn whispered angrily to Snail. "Skip the long talk and give it to Spike" said Snail. "He was the one who screamed in the first place." "Because he screamed I could scream all I want and the humans would still hear Spike." "Yeah, I guess your right." said Horn. "But you told us you knew a house when you saw one." suddenly the voices outside stopped. "Were the snails inside that box talking?" the boy said. "Maybe they need food." "What'll they eat?" asked the girl. "Hey!" shouted Spike. Snails heart stopped beating. What in the world was Spike doing? Spike continued. "We want rose petals to eat!" "What are you doing?!" Horn wispered to Spike. "Telling them what we want to eat so we don't starve, of course" said Spike, not bothering to keep his voice down. "HEY!" shouted the boy. "THEY DO TALK!" And before anyone could do anything, he opened the door, got rose petals, came back in and opened the lid. "HI!" he said.

The Story of Snail: Chapter Two
BRAEBURN: Chapter Two
Spike screamed. "Look what you've done!", shouted Snail. "The humans have heard us and the last thing we'll hear is them saying 'lets kill the snails'! HERE THEY COME!" Sure enough, humans had heard Spike's scream and Snail's shouting. "Look Dad!" a little boy shouted. "There are three snails on the wall! " "Well what do you know" the grownup that was the dad said. "We'll leave them alone, OK?" "OK Dad" the little boy said. They went away while the little boy said, " I thought they might have been the ones shouting, but snails can't talk... Soon the little boy came back with an older girl. "Look" he said. "Three snails. Let's keep them." "All right." the girl said. "Here's a box" said the boy. They took the snail trio and put them in the box, which had holes in the top for breathing. They put the lid on and Horn, Spike and Snail were in the light spotted darkness.

The Story of Snail: Chapter One
BRAEBURN: Chapter One
The snail was a traveling fellow, always on the move. He had few friends, because he moved before he could make any friends. His two friends Horn and Spike, traveled with him. Horn had a horn mark on his shell and Spike had a spike mark on his shell. The snail had a snail mark on his shell and thus was named Snail. This is the way with snails. Snail was the leader of them all, showing them the way out of human reach. Thus they went on with their usual business until one day they came upon a gigantic something. "Would you please move out of the way?" asked Spike. It didn't budge. "It might not be alive" said Horn. "I'll go and see." He went up to touch it. "It's hard and woody" he said. "We should climb over it." "Hard and woody" said Snail to himsef. "Iv'e heard that description before. Well, lets go" They climbed till they got to a sippery, clear, hard substance. Snail gasped. "This is a window" he said. "What's a window?" asked Horn. "A window" whispered Snail " is part of a house, a human house.

TimezAttack
BRAEBURN: I really like timezattack. It's a fun computer game to memorize your times tables. I have finished the 11's and and am working on the 12's. It's like this: you are in an underground dungeon and kill monsters with things like 5x6 and 4x2 that are written on themselves. When you kill the biggest monster for the, say the 7's, you go on to the 8's. The thing is, if you get one wrong, it hits you with a bullet from its half club, half gun. If you get hit enough times, you die. Once at my grandma's house something went wrong, and the noise the monster makes when it dies went over and over again. I was so scared, I ran down the stairs as fast as my legs would carry me. I was still shaking when my mom and I went to fix it. Well, I have to leave to do my piano practice to go to cub scouts.
