The Mysteries of Harris Burdick - Greyson

The House on Maple Street

by Greyson - age 7

There was a man who lived alone with his dog on Maple Street. He was building a rocket house to go into space.

Suddenly, the walls shook and the windows began to break as the rocket launched. Then everything stopped. He began to wonder what was wrong, but then he knew just what to do. He grabbed something off the shelf. It was the rocket launcher. He took some tape, ran outside and taped the rocket launcher to the side of the house. Then he ran inside and covered his ears.

It started again. It was a perfect lift-off.

He got to Mars, but something crept out of the rocket house. He saw a Martian. He thought there were no such things as Martians.

Run! Ahhhhhhhhhhh….
