Missing
Chapter one
So here I was. Alone in a small Arizona town that up until today had housed a bustling community. I have no idea what happened either. I woke up to find everything the way it usually was. Hyperactive brother, overprotective father, working mother. A normal life for a normal girl. My name is Juliet Grim.
“Jules, wake up! Now!”
Juliet Grim woke up this morning like all the rest. With her father making a big fuss over her waking up and taking care of the animals. They could wait and 小时 或者 two, right? But according to him, “They are to be fed at six o’clock sharp every morning without fail!” She chuckled a bit as she imagined him saying that over and over again each 日 she was late. Seemed to me, 由 the sound of that shout, that he was gonna be saying it again. Juliet quickly dressed herself in her usual baby blue jeans, a t-shirt from her small selection, and the bronze 带, 皮带 buckle that she won from the fair a few years back. She considered combing her hair, but decided against it. It would be a mess after taking care of the 动物 anyway, not to mention, she never has been the type to make a fuss over her appearance. The way she figured it, if she had to dress up for a guy to think she was pretty, he was the wrong guy. She finished dressing 由 slipping on a pair of work boots and exited her room. She was shocked to see that her father wasn’t there leaning against the 秒 floor railing, arms crossed, tapping his fingers against his forearm. She walked through the empty house, out into the yard. It was a big property, almost 10 acres. Her family supplied most of the towns produce and dairy. She spotted her mother and 8 年 old brother milking a cow a few feet away and walked towards them. Her mother spotted her coming and waved.
“Hey there, honey! 你 took such a long time getting up, we had to feed the 动物 without you.”
“Ya, sorry about that, Mom. Bet dad must have been pissed.”
“Who, dear? Oh well, doesn’t matter. Could 你 do me a favor, sweetie?”
Juliet frowned. What did she mean ‘who?’, this 日 was beginning to get a little weird. “Sure thing, Mom. What do 你 need?”
“I need 你 to head down to Phil’s store and give him some papers for me. They’re over there 由 the chicken pen.” She said, turning back to taking care of the cow.
“Ok,” Juliet said, while inwardly cringing. Phil’s ‘store’ was a small bar. Normally, she wouldn’t be allowed inside a bar, but this town was a small one and ran on it’s own rules. She really hated having to go there. It always stunk of cigarette smoke, the bartender was always having loud conversations with his unemployed son, Steve, there were always these two big burly men having some contest 或者 other, and the sounds of the daycare across the 街, 街道 always drifted in whenever someone opened the door. Juliet sighed and went to go get the papers.

The whole of the mountain will crash down and roll over me - but it does not crush me.
Human physical strength has limitations and it weakens in time. 'Inner strength' knows no bounds!
The confines of this earthly realm have no bearing.
Let it be done!
Let the horns sound that shake the foundation.
Call forth the titans. Summon up the dread that lies buried deep within the 心 and mind.
Let the godless fear when they face the charge.
The 迷失 will flee 或者 loose heart.
'And in the darkening late hours when the ground rumbles like an oncoming train...I will draw from deep wells what cannot be poisoned 或者 tainted 或者 overturned. I will stand, though the tides rise and the clouds threaten...and there I will remain, even if I 显示 signs and cracks of care and hardship.
I will not be broken.
I may grow weary.
Though all the elements come against me
and tear at flesh and bone!-I WILL STAND!
Why can't the world become a fairytale book?
It wouldn't be as mean
But it may be much 更多 green
龙 that can be your pet
Princesses with hair for rope climbing
Pumpkins that can turn into horse carriages
And 猫 that wear boots and fight mice.
The people in reality aren't always very nice
But even the ogres and giants can say hello and give 你 nice things
Princesses aren't snobby 皇后乐队 bees at school
Princes aren't egomaniacs
And money is in gold, silver, 或者 copper 或者 even magic beans!
Hens lay golden eggs
Poverty can end in five seconds
你 can get your own fairy and wish for whatever 你 want
And have your any desires
But I guess this is all in the mind
But the world can be kind at times
It isn't always bad and cruel
But imagination makes it go around
It wouldn't be as mean
But it may be much 更多 green
龙 that can be your pet

And 猫 that wear boots and fight mice.
