Imagine,John Lennon's most famous song,was recently voted"Britain's favourite song of all time".It's an idealistic song about peace and hope for a better world.
"Imagine all the people living life in peace."The song was a big hit in 1971,and again in 1980 when Lennon was murdered in New York.It became a hit for a third time after the terrorist attacks of September 11th 2001.

But who really wrote the song?Until recently the answer to this question was always John Lennon.But on a TV programme this week Lennon's wife,Yoko Ono,spoke for the first time about how she,in fact,helped to write the song.

Ono said that the idea and inspiration for Imagine came from some of her poems that John Lennon was reading at that time.The poems began with the word"Imagine":"Imagine a raindrop,Imagine a goldfish."Ono said,"When I was a child in Japan during the Second World War my brother and I were terribly hungry.I imagined delicious menus for him and he began to smile.If you think something is impossible,you can imagine it and make it happen."

In an interview just before he died,Lennon admitted that Yoko deserved credit for Imagine.He said,"A lot of it-the lyrics and the concept-came from her,from her book of poems,imagine this,imagine that".Lennon said that he was"too macho"to share the credit with her at the time.

Ono said that some of the song was written when they were flying across the Atlantic and the rest was written on the piano in their bedroom at their home in England.Ono said,"The song speaks about John's dream for the world.It was something he really wanted to say."Imagine became a popular song for peace activists everywhere.

In March 2002 the airport in his home town of Liverpool was re-named John Lennon Airport.A sign above the main entrance has a line from Imagine:"Above us only sky".

He was yelling again.

    I’d close my eyes, letting his voice fade over my ears, pleading my breath to go even. My ears traveled out, hearing anything but my father’s yelling, anything but his harsh insults, anything but his mocking...

    Tick, tick, the clock was ticking. It was an angel clock, hanging over my head, hanging over the computer I was sitting in front of.

    He was saying something about towels, towels left on the floor in the bathroom...

    “...left towels all over the damn floors...someone...

"Why did you leave?"

I wish I could tell him why. But seeing him again din't ease the pain. Not one bit. The agony only multiplied. All of the feelings I had suppressed were clamouring to be acknowledged.

Ashleigh peeked out from her curtain of hair, and made eye contact with him.

My heart skipped a beat. She was his child too, I knew that, but he maybe he wouldn't want anything to do with her or me. He probably hated me.

Ansking the question I had feared the most, he said, "Is this her?"

I looked at the ground.

"I can't do this again," the words hurt me to say them, but I could never force...

Chapter Two

A month later…

“Hungry?” Xavier asked.
“Starving.” I replied. Xavier went into the fridge and pulled out a tan plastic bowl and a smaller turquoise bowl. He placed the bowl of fresh fruit in front of me and the small bowl of plain yogurt. He handed me a fork.
“Enjoy.” He said. Xavier kissed me on my forehead.
“Thank you.” I said.
I began to eat when I heard a moan. Xavier looked down at his shoes.
“Um…after breakfast do you want to go for a walk?” Xavier asked.
“Xavier, what’s that sound?” I asked.
“It’s…Madison.” He choked out.
“Doing what?” I asked....

11:45 Open Door Eating


It’s the worst day in the world for a lunch date. I look like hell my light brown hair was frizzing like a poodle. Damn this humid summer, only in Texas the humidity 90% all the time. And this place is like a hut; all the hot air coming from the windows is blowing out the A/C. How is any one able to enjoy lunch when they are drinking the air?

I looked over to Ethan, who was making his way towards the table. We had been together so long in this little town. I love it to death but I think its time to move out. Greene, Texas...

Nine hours.

I was exhausted after it.

Rion came into the hospital room. He took my hand, and told me softly that I had a little girl.

"Rion, there is no way I will ever be able to tell you just how thankful I am that I have you," I sighed, before I drifted into a deep black mist.

**************************************************

I held my little girl close to me. I was filled with an indescribable love for this small creature, who I had worked so hard to bring here. Who I already loved.

**************************************************

Around a year after that, I became a guardian ad litem....

My second super hero story. There are five characters and they meet the same person on different days. It takes five days for everybody to meet everybody. Keep in mind some of the powers the kids have are stupid but I tried to get powers that kids wouldn't have. Enjoy or not.

Preface (Very stupid now that I reread it)
In the year 3112 a few adults had children that had super powers. I tracked them all down and they joined me in the battle of keeping the world alive. I tracked down the five children and they all have different powers. How do I know? I'm Physic and my name is Scott Bering.

I chanced a glance at you
from across the crowded room
and that was when I noticed
you were looking at me too

we both know this shouldn't happen
its a road we've been down before
and the only way it ever ends
is with you walking out the door

so I wish someone would explain to me
why I'm still rooted in place
staring in the direction
of just another lonely face

my mind is screaming at me to run
while my heart asks me to stay
for a moment I dont know what to do
and if its a price I'm willing to pay

we both know this is wrong
the love that we share
but we also know that wont stop us
because to find this kind of love is rare

Dear Diary,

I hate my life now. I am now going against everything of what I stand for. It's all because of one stupid mistake. I can't write about it now. It's just too shameful to write about it. Today I mostly hung around my room. Or my new room in Jerry's house. Man I hate him so much now. You are probably thinking Who are you? What are you talking about?
I am Lily. I'm a super hero. Actually no I am not. I can die like a normal person but I can't get hurt easily. I have more than one powers so I live a normal life span.
You know I am actually not a super hero anymore but I'm working on that....

Very itchy legs
Singing a lot
Rash on legs
Making un-normal sounds
Acting a bit out if the ordinary (goes on and off for about 6 hours)
Drinking lots of water. Where it says blue and gold that was just and example. You can choose your own colors and powers. Most girls that did these spells got tails when wet within 45 hrs. The spells don't have to be on a full moon unless the instructions said so. Don't...

BUMBLESTRIPE PTV
Bumblestripe padded into his den and looked around for Dovewing, then he remembered she was out hunting around for us. All of his instincts told him to go and find her and hunt with her. Be her warmth on the leaf-fall night.
Then he got up and did so, he raced all around the territory looking for Dovewing but there was no sign.
Then he looked up at the moon and remembered she might be at the island. He raced over to the island and stepped onto the branch.
He looked up at the moon and saw the Great Oak. There were two cats at the top of the Great Oak. They were sharing tongues...

Chapter Two

Olivia Meyers hopped in her used brown truck. Today was the day she was going to prove everyone wrong. She wore her purple halter dress with a thick, black belt around her waist. She also had some fishnet stockings and black boots that almost reached to her ankles. Her mom had left this outfit out on her bed this morning. Olivia felt wrong for not wearing it but it made her feel too exposed so she wore a gray jacket also. Her strawberry-blonde hair was extra curly today then usual. It was also extra thick.

She cranked the car four time for it to finally start running. It was her dad's...
