A Series Of Sorrowful Stories by Duane Harvey (summer reading list .TXT) 📕

by it's cover. That just means don't make quick judges about people or animals. When I was a member in S.O.L, I saw this young boy. He had black hair and light blue eyes. I thought he was a vile person at first, but it turns out that he was on my side. The good side. S.O.L stands for, Sadness Of Leaving. It was a place where people came to get a misson for a secret group and go off to complete that misson.
A hour had passed and the three children were sitting on the stairs of the H.T.P. Sally walked in front of the children and said, "I am ready to join you. Where are we going to go?"
The boy stood up and said, "Ship-Trap Island."
Sally said, "I heard about that. She looked at Emma and said, "I know you from somewhere. Ohhh, I remember now. I did some research on you. Your full name is Emma H. Jones. You cousin, Mat Jones, and her aunt, Brooke Jones, are still alive, but their whereabouts are unknown. Your mother's name was Fiona D. Donald. You were put in CYS's hands because your real mother and your real father both had a heatstroke."

Chapter 30 * The Pop Can

Emma said, "My last name is Johnson."
Sally said, "No, the people that lived with you, just wanted you to think that."
Mat said, "I am Mat Jones. I am still alive and I am right in front of you, so, now my whereabout is revealed. My mom....." He stopped for a moment and thought about his mom. He looked at the boy and said, "Where is my mom? Is she here?"
The boy said, "She is at Ship-Trap Island, talking to her brother, Count Zaroff."
Mat said, "Zaroff? That name sounds familar."
The boy said, "It should be because he is your other uncle. You met him a year before the huge wave changed everything."
Mat closed his eyes. He was have flashbacks. He saw Rainford running away from a pack of dogs. He saw Mr. Coke making fun of Rainsford. He saw Mr. Thompson singing Tik Tok. He saw Duane going to Mars. He saw his mother die in a hole. He saw the silver treasure chest. He saw the secret picture. He saw the secret letters.
Mat opened his eyes and said, "Who is the one that knows everything? Is it Rainsford, Mr. Coke, Mr. Thompson, Duane, or my mom?"
The boy said, "You remember everything! He who knows everything is Dr. Pepsi."
Mat said, "Let's go and find him and the rest of the characters!"
An hour later Emma, Mat, Sally, and the boy all arrived at Ship-Trap Island. Mat saw his mom and Zaroff raceing to them. Rose said, "Mat! Oh, Mat! I missed you so much!"
Mat said, "You have to join the noble side!"
Rose said, "You already know so much. I thought you would never find out."
Mat said, "You knew about this and didn't tell me?"
Rose said, "History is about to be repeated once again. We have to stop this. We have to break the pattern." Suddenly they all heard a boat whistle blow. They all looked at a white boat far in the sea. They were right, history was going to be repeated once again.
When the boat arrived at Ship-Trap Island, a man walked out. It was Rainsford. The boy said, "Hello, Robert Rainsford."
Mat said, "I thought his name was Yonk?"
The boy said, "Yonk is his brother's name. I thought Robert died, but I guess not."
Robert said, "Good evening."
Sally said, "Good evening. I am Sally Toller. This is Mat Jones, Emma Jones, and...." The boy looked at the woman, but the woman didn't look at him. She was going to reveal the boy's name. "And this is Don Quinty."
Sometimes there are good moments in the world, such as characters joining a team, but there are also terrible moments in the world, such as a secret being revealed. A secret so terrible that it could cause another schism.
Mat said, "Don? I have never met a Don."
Emma and Sally looked at Mat. Emma said, "I know him. I met him a few years ago in school. Before he moved away he told me that he would come back to bring the C.T.S back together. We are all apart of that group. Well, we were all apart of that group."
Mat said, "What does C.T.S mean?"
Sally said, "Colony That Studies."
Emma said, "Cool Tastes Sweet."
There was another voice. It said, "Collin Toak's Schemes." Everyone looked at the person, or the thing, that spoke the corrert answer. They were looking at a pop can. A Coke can. It was Mr. Coke.

Chapter 31 * The Long-Lost Friend

Some people came to the Americas for religious freedom. Some people came to the Americas to create problems for other people. Some people came to the Americas to learn a new language. But some people came to the Americas to defeat the vile people.
Mr. Coke said, "The real group is Collin Toak's Schemes. The other two answer are also correct, but Colony That Studies is a group of people that do research on different colonies, and Cool Tastes Sweet is a group of people that cooks meals for other people to taste. Collin Toak's Schemes is a group of people that try to stop vile people."
Suddenly a familar voice said, "Correct. But V.V.P will defeat you!" Everyone turned and saw Monetio. He was a member in V.V.P. "V.V.P stands for: Vile Voilent People."
Rose said, "Monetio? How did you survive Trantrex?"
Monetio said, "You have changed history, so Trantrex and I have never met. This is the end of this dumb story."
Mat said, "Monetio, you can't do this!"
Robert said, "Can I join your group?"
If you ask to do something that both groups are in, many people will get confused on which side the person asked to be on. Monetio thought Robert was asking him and the children thought he was asking them. Sadly, Robert was asking Monetio. The children gasped and Sally was disappointed.
Don pulled out his wand waved it around. When Mat opened his eyes he saw that he was now in Greenale Meadow. On one side there were the noble people: Emma, Sally, Don, Mr. Coke, Rose, Zaroff and Mat. On the other side there were the vile people: Monetio, Robert, James, and Heather.
Usually at the end of stories, secrets are revealed and there is a happy ending, but in the end of this story, secrets are revealed, but there is no happy ending. People will die.

Chapter 32 * The Not So Happy Ending

Mat said, "I think we all need to reveal our secrets to one an other. I am from the future."
Emma said, "I am in love with Mat's cousin, Autumn."
Sally said, "I never liked my mother."
Don said, "I have known all of you ever since I was little."
Mr. Coke said, "Dr. Pepsi stole my girl friend."
Rose said, "When I was little, I used to do drugs."
Zaroff said, "I enjoy to hunt humans and then eat them."
Monetio said, "I have been a member in this group for five years."
Robert said, "I killed my mother."
James said, "I am not really Emma's father."
Heather said, "I killed Bart!"
Sometimes there are secrets in this world that needs to be revealed, such as the real groups. Sometimes there are secrets in this world that doesn't need to be revealed, such as the next secret to be revealed.
Don said, "I am Mat's twin brother. So is Duane."
The wind started to blow harder. It started to rain. Mat said, "Twins? Mom, is...this true?"
Rose frowned and said, "Yes."
Suddenly Rose stabbed Robert; Sally killed James, by breaking the curse; Heather shot Mr. Coke. So now on the noble side was: Rose, Sally, Mat, Emma, Don, and Zaroff. On the vile side was: Monetio and Heather. Monetio stabbed Emma and Zaroff; Heather shot Sally; Don killed Heather. So now on the noble side was: Rose, Mat, and Don. On the vile side was Monetio.
Don looked at Mat and said, "We have to get out of here!" Rose and Don ran off into the woods.
Mat said, "Why are you on the vile side?"
Monetio said, "Usually at the end of stories, secrets are revealed and there is a happy ending, but in the end of this story, secrets are revealed, but there is no happy ending. People got murdered."
Mat said, "I am sorry, but I am going to end this once and for all." He put a black rock in his mouth. He then flew up with Monetio in his hands. Mat pulled Monetio's head off and dropped the head and the body. Suddenly Mat got shot.
A voice said, "I got one! I shot a duck!"
Another voice said, "Congrats. Look for more!"
That part in the story was quite ironic. Mat thought he had won, but he died. I am sorry to say, but the whereabouts of Don and Rose are unknown to this very day. People have said they have got by sharks. Some other people said that they drowned. I am sorry to say, but one day when I was walking along the beach, I saw their bones, they were moldy. There was no survivers on that day of the war. History was rewritten, but the characters that came back, all died once again.

Chapter 33 * My Last Story

I am sorry to hear that you have read such a sorrowful story. I am sorry to hear that you have gotten to the end of this dreadful story. I told you it doesn't have a happy ending. I am done writting this terrible book. Or am I? This is the last chapter and it is also the shortest chapter. It is even the happiest chapter out of this entire series. To this very day I miss my poor siblings. I miss my secretive father. I miss my ungrateful gaurdians. I miss my mom. I miss the four lists. I miss everything. I even miss my sorrowful story that finally ended. Yesterday when I read the newspaper. I read about another terrible fire. It burned down my mom's newest house. She didn't survive. I also read that Count Opie was murdered for cheating on his new girl friend. I even read that Tommy Shotagun was put in jail for raping four young girls. I now believe that people in this world do have their own sorrowful story. Some sorrowful stories will end: like mine. But other won't end: like Jonny. He has been running away from trouble for his entire life. I met this man and we became good friends. At least he wasn't alone in this world. Neither was I. I was in a place that I dreamt of for so so long. I was in the care of Alex. I will never be alone in this world again. I live in peace in this world...you know...the real world.
