Authors in the Attic September 2026

 Silence 

Silence, that's not here

Silence, that I hold so dear

Though some may tremble, 

and some may fear

The silence makes everything become so clear

It can be painful, it may cause some tears

But silence is the sound...

The sweet sweet sound that I long to hear

So as this comes to a close 

Though there may be some who sneer

I will try to find the silence again next year.

Metamorphosis

There once was a caterpiller named Eli Maia Biesinger, for her parents were terrible at their imagination. So after coming home from Binge and Bloom especially fat, She was tired, so she went to bed in the fat tree in which the Stick-giants-with-fat-fingers lived. She crawled through a crack in the see-through rock and in the fluffy, white, fat leaves (strangely enough, she always had nightmares of getting crushed by a giant head. She woke up with a fright when she realized she was being carried away on a most uncomfortable stick by a Stick-giant-with-fat-fingers! It carried  her out of the fat tree by twisting a golden, shiny, rock and pushing. Then it carried her over to a tree and let her on a leaf. Eli was too tired and too fat to do anything so she hung by her toes, a trick she didn't know before, then took a really long rest. She woke up a few weeks later only to find herself traped in a nasty looking leaf. Eli struggled for a few hours till she was pooped, then she remembered her special scissors that she always kept with her. It took Eli a couple minutes to work her way out, but then she looked down and saw the ground, it was a million leaves away. "EEEEHHHHH!!!" She shrieked while falling to her death, when suddenly she stopped.Eli  heard something and realized she was the one making the sound. Eli was flying. She went to tell everyone when she saw mr. Toad. "Mr. Toad, I...", She never finished her sentence because mr. toad opened his mouth and sent his big pink tongue and slurped Eli, He burped and hopped away.                                 The end.
