The air was cold as I walked along the road. As I
breathed out I could see the mist forming by my
mouth. One stream formed into a dragon and
roared at me. How odd that I never noticed these
creatures before Mother died in the crash, they
are so magnificant. I told the dragon to go away.
They always go away when I tell them too. I didnt
have time to deal with the steam creatures right
now anyways, I had more pressing issues.
A few days ago I had noticed that James, had
started to glow. James was always making fun of
me but I didnt let it get to me, but this was odd.
No one else noticed but I was sure. They started
to act strange while they were glowing. They
would call me names, appear in two place at
once, they charge at people and then disappear
before they collided.Once they even started flying
around the room. No one seemed to care at all.
Naturally I was frightened, and when I asked
people they told me I was weird and walked
away. Then those people started to glow too.
Eventually the entire school started to glow, and
everyone stopped talking too me. Even my best
friend Lisa called me strange and didnt speak with
me. anymore. She was the last to start glowing.
It was becoming obvious what was happening
here. The mean people had possesed the other
people with their mean spirits and I was the only
one left. I knew I would be next, but I didnt know
what I could do. How could I stop these evil
people from possessing me, like they did to Lisa.
I realised needed to save myself. As I was looking
at the gnomes fighting outside from my window,
pondering what to do the day they all started
glowing, when I saw one of them had left the
street and was in my room. He was little, maybe
half a meter high and his beard was longer than
he was tall. I looked at him and cocked my head,
the gnomes dont normally come inside. All he said
was "To stop the evil glow, you have to purify the
one who started it. You need to kill him Megan,
he must die." and then he disappeared. The
gnomes didnt lie, not once had the gnomes ever
lied. I knew what I had to do.
The school building was approching. I could see it,
growing larger as I drew closer. I saw James, the
one who started all of this. He was by the

building, leaning on the wall. Everything was so clear
as I approched him, people parted as I walked by. It
was like they knew what needed to be done and
were clearing a way. He was just a few meters away
as I drew the knife I had hidden in my sleve. "Huh?"
he said as he saw me, just a meter away from him.
I raised the knife, and swung. Time slowed down to a
near freeze. I could see everything in great detail,
the knife as it swung towards him, his eyes, bulging,
shocked at what was happening, the crowd, most of
whom didnt notice, but the ones who did were
frozen. My knife impaled him. Struck him dead
center in his heart. As he closed his eyes for the final
time, his last sight was me, smiling over him, and the
snow, falling for the first time this year.
A few moments ago…
I was standing in the crowd waitinf for school to
start. I got there too early. I was playing with my
keychain that I had had since I was little. I never
went anywhere without it, it was very pretty. "For
Lisa" was carved in on the back. My mom had
written it when she gave it to me, and I ket it for all
this time.
I saw Megan coming through the crowd. She looked
strangely intent, but I didnt ask why. She was acting
strange and could barely focus on anything anymore.
It looked different today, but I wasnt ready to deal
with her now. I moved out of the way like everyone
else. I went back to fiddleing with my keychain,
when I heard a scream. I looked over to what is was,
expecting just some of the guys playing around.
What I saw was so much worse. James was lying on
the ground and Megan was over him. Holding a
knife. And smiling.
Everything was silent for just a second, but it seemed
lie forever. Finally someone made a noise, and
started screaming. And then everyone else started
panicing and joining in. I ripped my phone out and
kept as calm as possible. Emergancy dial. Police. My
mind was spinning, but I knew the police could deal
with it.
"Hello what is your emergancy said the man who
picked up the phone"
"A-a person was just stabbed, please come help! We
need help!" I sputtered out. "We are at the school on
Queen street" I quickly proclaimed afterwards.
"We will be right there," said the officer.
For about 3 minutes no one knew what to do. All we
could do was wait. Megan was still hovering over
him with the knife, but for the most part everyone
had stopped screaming. Multiple people were crying
and some had run away, but most of the people
were just standing in silence. The police finally
arrived, and started questioning people. I was one of
the first one asked, I didnt process what the man
said at all. All I did was point at the body. That was
all I could do. I was taken to the police station for
questioning, but it was obvious they knew what
happened already.
Once of the officers walked up to me and offered me
a glass of water. I ignored him.
"Well," he said "looks like you are in shock. Anyways,
your friend will be taken to a mental hospital. I dont
know if she will ever get out. You have to wonder
what is going through these peoples heads eh?"
I used to think that. But now its awfully clear. James
was obviously evil. I think I might just follow in her
footsteps. So many people that need to be purified
in this terrible world.

The children I know all too well

'Hello?'
My voice echoed through the empty
corridors. A boy came up to me, tears in
is eyes. 'Hello', he said, gone in a blink. I
rubbed my eyes, and the boy was
gone. I saw a quite young girl;
she looked lost, and was gone as fast as
she arrived. I felt a chill down my spine
as I searched for an exit. In the distance,
I saw the boy from before, crying, and
pointing at me. I turned around to see
a door, and I looked back to see the boy
missing. 'I thought this was just a game',
a voice cried in the distance. I looked
down the corridors, only to see another
boy, hanging in a rope, by his neck. I
crashed out the door, tears in my eyes,
as I realized I knew these children. I
knew them all too well.
The light blinded my eyes. I was outside,
and night was falling. I looked up to
find a street pole, half expecting a dead
body, half wishing there wasn't. The
metal glamoured through the night, and
the pole was empty. I let out a sigh, and
I looked around me. Long winding cold
streets slithered through rows upon rows

of buildings. I walked at a brisk pace,
scared of the night. I felt as if I was
watched, yet I was alone, just me and
the moon. My white jacket had become
dirty, and my feet were cold. I heard
the sound of my rumbling belly,
reverberating through the cold night. 'I
need to eat', I whispered under my
breath, as I started walking faster
through the chilling night.
I walked through the long winding
streets, looking around me. The
buildings were indented, falling slowly
over, as if they were as tired as the
people living inside them. The shadows
creeped up on me, and I shrunk to the
floor. My heart beat faster, and I
started to run. The noise of my heart
felt as if it chased me, watching my
every turn, feeling my every step. I ran
until I tripped, flying through the air,
and landing my face onto the long
road. I landed, face down in a puddle.
It must've rained last night, I thought to
myself, as I raised myself out of the
puddle, and then I saw it. Something so
disgusting, horrifying, almost scary in
the puddle, and I most certainly didn't
like it. I raised my body up, and I let
out a cry, as I walked down this road of
nothing.
I saw a baby carriage. I smiled, as I felt
a sense of lust clinging through my
body. I walked faster towards the
carriage, running faster with every step.
ØISIE -´Østerbro International School In English 15
Short Stories
Just as I was about to touch it, I fell over,
chasing shadows in the night. 'I'm a
monster', I whispered. I heard a cry, a
scream, tearing through the night sky,
like a knife slicing through butter. A
scream from a baby. I looked up, to find
another building, standing as if it were
to fall over at any moment. The scream
continued, torturing my ears, yet the
house seemed to notice nothing, slacking
forwards, like a resting lion. The
screaming stopped.
I started to ponder where I was, as I
continued to walk down along the
streets. I felt alone, oh so alone in this
big world. Yet who were those children,
who were those children hanging by
their necks, and why was I involved?
What had I done that was so bad? Yes,
of course I did some terrible things to
some kids, but killing themselves over
what we did? Were the kids I saw today
those kids?
I thought I was crazy when I saw lights
shining in the distance. Thought I was
going mad, like a proper madman, with
ghosts and hallucinations. But I couldn't
be, I told myself, looking at my hand.
When I came close enough to see what it
was, I realized it was a day care. I closed
in on the building, and reached the front
door and let out a shriek when I saw
blood, painted on the door, spelling
'Sorry'. A chill went down my spine, and
I preceded to walk through the door, my
stomach still rumbling. Did those
children come from this daycare? I felt a
smell, a smell of candy, a smell of
temptation. I walked through a long
narrow corridor. Finally, I saw the door
where the smell came from. Candy
wrappers littered the outside door. Lust
streamed through my body, and I
opened the door, the door letting out a
scream. A boy, hanging, in a rope, by
his neck, naked, in front of an open
letter spelling 'What he did was too
much' was before my very eyes.
I didn't want more. I wanted to leave, I
wanted to scream. I crashed through the
door, ran through the corridors, and the
final thing I remember, was smiling over
seeing my hanging feet, and an aching
pain in my neck.

Hi, I am Maya Redden. When I was 5 and old enough to know what it meant to be homeless and poor, I went to California for Christmas and my uncle took me and my family to San Francisco to see a ballet performance, while walking there I counted 9 homeless people begging on the streets and that day I told myself I would try to give at least two dollars to any homeless person I found on the streets. It was really hard for me to keep that promise so I thought that I definitely owed them this speech to try to help them and make a difference.
There are an estimated 100 million homeless people in the world and 3 million homeless in Europe. Have you ever thought about what it would be like to be in a homeless persons shoes? Going to sleep on concrete or cold grass, having just a very small amount of food to eat every day , just sitting or wandering around with nothing to do, wearing the same clothes every single day, having someone totally avoid you. The majority of you would hate it being the very social people that we all are. There are also homeless children like you and I who were abandoned our thrown out of their own homes. So it is even harder for them because even most homeless grownups have gone to school but a child has not had as much experience in the world and it would be much harder to survive without a home or parents.

Most people become homeless because they cannot pay for their homes, unemployment, illnesses, disabilities, violence and job loss. Some of these people start their life perfectly, they start and end school and then go to a university but then when they can’t find a job in their area of expertise they can’t get money which leads to all sorts of other problems and eventually they lose their homes. A man that was interviewed in 2012 had a great life and he went to a university until he was in a car crash and broke his neck. Later he could no longer pay his bill and became broke.
There are homeless people all over the world, in Australia every day 1 in every 200 people are homeless, they end up sleeping in tents or on park
benches, in the United States the number of homeless people range from 600 thousand to 2.5 million, most of which are in New York, and in Denmark there are about 5000 homeless people.
We can help these homeless people just by understanding who they are, bring them food, donate your old clothes or you could join or create a club to help them. You could volunteer at a soup kitchen or shelter, or give them your recyclables which can later be turned in for money. But mainly you can educate them, like telling them about a good place to go for food or shelter, tell them how to get around or how to make
their own food. There are even organizations that you can sign up for to tutor a homeless child. By helping these people it will help them in the future much more than you would think.

Drama club will be holding a grand play, and you as the
Audience are included. The play this time around will be
based on Holes, a play based around Stanley Yelnats.
Stanley Yelnats family is cursed, or at least that's what he's
been told. His family was cursed because of his dirty, pig
stealing, grand-grand-grandfather. Stanley ends in the
wrong place at the wrong time, finds himself in a camp and
is made to dig holes. The further down he digs his holes, the
closer he comes to the real story behind the camp. Our
play is not exactly following the book. The play is arranged
by over 60 people, and the actors and dancers and
musicians are ready for sandy shoes. The play will be
around February.

Ms. Neubert-Luckner is from
Manhattan Beach California. She has
an interest in art. She loves going to
art museums and learning about
different art creation. She worked as a
librarian at the Peggy Guggeheim. She
has worked at OIS since it opene. She
kindly agreed to do a small interview
with us for the literary magazine.
What is your favorite book from the
library?
Anne of Green Gables
What age did you start Reading
books?
When I was in first, second and third
grade I hated reading! It felt like a
chore more than a hobby. But during
the fourth grade I read a series called
super fudge that taught me that
reading could be fun and not just a
time consuming task.
What is the pirate concept?
There is a book organizing system
called the Dewey Decimal System that
categorizes books in different
categories and then divisions. It is a
complex system so small children
don’t understand and show an interest
in this. Therefore I have come up with
the pirate concept where the children
Library Corner
ØISIE -´Østerbro International School In English 35
are pirates and the books are the
treasure, the kids need to find the
treasure “books” and that is how you
engage kids into less exciting
concepts.
Why do you like your favorite book?
I like Anne of Green Gables because
Anne was a very strong willed girl who
stood up for what she beloved in
during a time period where girl where
not well appreciated or had very
many rights. I feel in a way I was kind
of like her I stood up for what I
believed in.
How did you pick the books in the
library?
I got a little jar and asked the
students, parents and teachers to
write their book recommendations for
the library. There is also an American
website that lists all the mainstream
books a library should have.

You're as beautiful as the sky You're as beautiful as the sea Your hair, it shines, just like the sun
Your face, it glitters, just like the stars This sounds like a love letter But you, please me it's not I see you as you see me But I see you as the dancing sun A smile and a tear have the same reason To show the feeling of the person's seasons A smile goes up, but a tear goes down But the opposite, of a smile, is a frown I don't know what to do but think But if I think I can't blink?
I need to keep my frown up side down And my tears flying all the way down The sparkle in your eye, The warmth of your skin, The smell of your hair, The naughtiness in your smile, That strength in your stare, The power in your face,
The beating of your heart, This may be our start You're as tall as a tree I am as short as a flower This just shows That nature has power. I reach up to hug you You reach down to hug me This just shows
That love also has power Cause every girl deserves more More than a lions roar And it's you I care for 'Cause My heart is a trap door If you enter there's no going out And I'll love you, there's no doubt

My best friend
Last year my mom signed me up to be on a waiting list for get a friend in a club, “Senior Best Friend”. -An old man as a friend? How am I supposed to play with him? It is going to be too boring, I thought.
He is now my special friend. He is not a common friend as you would expect, because I am a twelve year old boy and he is 77 years.
My best friend is very special because he inspires me a lot and allowed me to inspire him too. He is older than me by age, but not in his spirit. He still is full of energy and loves to go out and have fun with me. We have been in Tivoli, at the cinema and so on. He teaches me so many things (to prepare a fish and make the table read to lunch).

One night in the jungle
In 2008 my family
and I went on a trip
through China over
Christmas. One
place I especially
remember was
when we spent one
night in south of
Yunnan in a tree
house in a national
park with wild
elephants.
The house was high
up in a tree over a
small river. The
guides told us that
the wild elephants
usually came to this
spot on the river in
the early morning to
drink water.
It was very dark in the night. In the middle of the night we heard a sound and we
woke up, ran outside and looked down on the river, but nothing. It was probably
just apes or dogs from the villages nearby.
In the morning we didn’t have any breakfast beside some bananas. We also met
some monkeys but no elephants.

The house
Once upon a time there was a house. In the house there lived 2 boys. The names of the boys were Ibrahim and Abdulbasit Malik. One day the boys went out to shopping. When they came back to their house the door was open.
Abdulbasit looked inside the house and called Ibrahim to look at what happened in the house and said “Look at it. I think someone broke in our house, who could it be?”
The next day, Abdulbasit made a plan to see who it was. So they went shopping again. When they came back, the window was broken. Abdulbasit opened the door and looked inside the house. But nothing was stolen.
The next day, they made another plan and went shopping again. When they came home they heard a sound and the hid behind the tree. Suddenly, they saw a boy who came to the house Abdulbasit looked
at the boy, and said “I know him”. He was his old classmate Carlos.
Abdulbasit went over to him and said ‘hi Carlos, what are you doing here?’
Carlos said that he needed a place to stay and asked Abdulbasit if he could stay with them. Abdulbasit said “of course, you can stay with us”.

The story of Luke and Amalie at the house
Luke and Amalie were soaking up the
sun, playing in the water.
Luke loved splashing everyone. Luke
was taking Amalie deeper into the water
and they were having a great time. They
had all sorts of toys like water guns,
goggles, balls and rackets.
They felt a little hungry and came in for a
snack! Mum gave them two brightly
coloured towels to dry up. “Oh yum!
Lemonade and cookies, what a treat!”
said Luke.
Then they ran to the sandpit as Amalie
loved making sand castles and mermaids.
They fetched a bucket of water and built
a huge sand castle. It looked beautiful
and Luke loved it. Just then Dad came
home and he brought them their own
surprise present. Luke got a new football
and Amalie got the book she always
wanted. They both loved their gifts they
had received.
Amalie read her book and explained it to
Luke. Luke wanted to read the book after
she was completed reading. Luke‘s ball
was authentic. That day was the best day
of their life!

whose name is Sara. She has green eyes
and yellow hair. She also like`s dogs and
she has one too. His dog`s name
is Fillip. He has black skin.
One day I and Sara decided to
go to the forest with Kelly and
Fillip. In the forest we found a
tennis ball. Sara and I decided to
play with it. After an hour or so,
Sara threw the ball as far as it
could go. Fillip and Kelly went to
get it. After 10 minutes we went
to look after Kelly and Fillip. So
Sara and I went to look for
them. We shouted “KELLY…
FILIP… Where are you?” Sara
and I looked for them for about 7 more
minutes. Sara thought that we had lost the
dogs. In the river, we saw the dogs on a
boat rowing together to get the ball. We
got so happy and laughed a lot because
they were so so so cute.

The day of laughter
Once upon a time there were two
women. They were very close friends.
Their names were Sophie and Laura.
Sophie was 39 years old and Laura was
42 years old .One day, Sophie decided to
go to Laura´s house. Sophie took her
jacket on and went out of the door.
Sophie ringed the bell and she said
“Come in.” Laura opened the door.
Sophie took
her jacket
off. Then they went to the kitchen and
they drank a cup of coffee with some
cake. Laura asked “Are you still afraid of
the water?” Laura and Sophie laughed.
Sophie said not anymore I was afraid
when I was young but not anymore. “So
you can go to the swimming pool?” Laura
asked. “Yes” said Sophie. After one hour
of talk and laughter, Sophie went home.

My very
Own story
ØISIE -´Østerbro International School In English 55
My story is about my right eye.
When I was little my eye was closed
for one month. I had 2 eye
operations when I was 8 years old.
When I was 6 or 7 years old, I had
a little ball on my eye for a year.
Kids were asking me questions about
my eye. They were asking me "Why
do you have the little ball on your
eye?" And I said, "I don't know".
I didn't like the little ball on my
eye because it was annoying me. But
I didn't feel it and it didn't hurt.
I had the first eye surgery on the
4th of January. I drove with my mom
and dad. When I got into the
hospital I felt a bit scared. Then I
changed my clothes and then I got
into the room. There were 4 people
when I came into the room. I was
shaking because I was going to have
my first eye surgery. Then I laid
down on the
bed. I slept
and my mom
and dad were
with me. I
thought the
surgery was 5
minutes. But
no, it was 2
or 3 hours.
Then I woke
up in another
room and
my mom
and dad
were there.
I will tell
you about
the time
between
my first
and my
second eye
surgery. I
felt happy a
lot. I could play a lot. In school I
could do everything and in my mind
I was thinking about the second eye
surgery and I didn't like it.
My second eye surgery was on June
27th in Glostrup hospital. It was
summer time and it was morning
time. I was not allowed to eat
breakfast because the doctor said so. I
could only drink water. First I drove
to the hospital. Second I changed my
clothes and then I went into the
room and there were 4 people again.
I thought the surgery was 10 or 20
minutes but no, again it was 3 or 4
hours. Last I woke up and I had
something on my hand and something
on my eye. I took it off and it didn't
hurt.
Today I feel happy a lot. My eyes
are a lot better now. Now I don't
worry about my eye and I don't need
the doctor anymore.
