Once there was a man who never ever brushed his teeth and one day his teeth start to hurt and he was moaning all night the next morning he called Mile Square to the dentist and made an appointment and the man who was his dentist told him he could come in tomorrow. The man said “No” he said he can’t wait any longer because they hurt a lot so his dentist said “Come on down I can check them out.” So the man came down to the dentist and the man said, I know what’s your problem, you never brush your teeth and I can tell, open your mouth “OH” MY “GOD” your teeth is rotting and your breath. So you know what you have to do. His dentist gave him toothpaste so ever since then he’s been brushing his teeth day and night.

You might have heard of a haunted house, or boat, or an island, but you never heard of a haunted star. Here is the story if you want to hear it read along and enjoy it very good. First, it all started at a house that people always sweared and stuff like that. But there was a man that was mean and sweared a lot, but sometimes he was nice. Once he was walking down the street he was all swearing. He was crossing the street and a car crashed him the driver didn’t even stop he just went off.
Second, some say after the crashed there was no body. Some say that the car took his dead body dragging away. But some say he escaped but we don’t know what could have happened down there.
Third, some say that his star is haunted by him haunting other stars, and if you once see one only star is that one star killed them all.

True Stories Other Venues Storefront 2002
I remember when I first started school. It was okay because I was shy and afraid. I didn’t have any friends or anyone to play with. I went to lunch, I saw my cousin. He spoke I spoke back. I went by him he said you can’t come to my class with me. I said I know that I just came over to speak. I went to my class and he went to his class. The school was big. It has four floors, a lot of stairs, big classrooms and a huge lunch room where you get to pick your own lunch. I was in kindergarten. Finally I met friends and I had plenty of people to play with. I wasn’t bored. I miss that school. It was the best school out of two. It has a park across the street called Douglas and a playground in the back and you could also go to the park or the playground at recess time. I love that school Pope Panthers are the best. That’s something I’ll never forget.

Once upon a time there was a painting of one mans head. It had many heads of one person. The painting was called Mulihead. Since it was Sunday Multihead went to church. The painting lived in Mexico. But what nobody knew was that Multihead was a killer. He had killed 48 people. Don’t be fooled he looks like a cheap painting. But this painting has a dangerous attack. It was called paper cut. Multihead waited at night until it was dark. Multihead had one enemy that could defeat him. It was called Ring Ring. It was a church bell. So when Multihead entered church Ring Ring said “What are you doing here?” The priest said “this is church all of his children are welcome.” Ring Ring wanted to kill Multihead. But he couldn’t because he was in church. So he stalked Multihead until he left church. Multihead went back to his spot in the alley then Ring Ring came outside and said, “now you’re in for it!” So Ring Ring rang his bell and made Multihead deaf. While Multihead faked that he was in pain he made a paper cut attack on Ring Ring. None of them got hurt because Multihead doesn’t have ears and Ring Ring doesn’t have flesh, he’s metal and steal. So then Ring Ring climbed the building and jumped off it and broke Multihead in half and smashed him into little pieces. So Multihead was defeated and Ring Ring was a hero. But he got fired.
