My Mini-Saga Ever wondered what would happen if you mysteriously disappeared from your school one day and ended up in a strange school that almost seems like the opposite of most normal schools? A school that appears to be a perfect Utopia. Could it really be? Is a Utopia really possible.

 The School of Tranquility By Brandyn Ulrich

On a dark, gloomy, and rainy day, Timmy Larkeson found himself wondering where he was when he mysteriously found himself in a room that he didn't recognize and he did not know where he was or how he got there. He remembered his name and a little bit about himself but could not recall for the life of of him, what had happened in the past 24 hours. As he sat there thinking someone walked in dark navy blue robes. There was a symbol on the robe that appeared to be a yin yang symbol. When the person spoke he had an odd accent that Timmy had never heard before, "Hello Timmy Larkeson, my name is Ark Sool and I am the head of this school" said Sool smiling broadly at Timmy. "Ummm..... hi, can you please tell me where we are" Timmy responded anxiously, trying to crack a smile. "We are at the school of Tranquility, a place where no one fights and everyone is at peace with each other."he replied calmly "Follow me through to the dining hall so i can introduce you and get you started on your classes." said Sool. "OK" responded Timmy, which was strange because it was not what he wanted to say but he felt compelled to stop asking questions.

Timmy thought that things could not get any stranger and he was wrong when he saw the other kids at the school, all sitting around a large circular table sitting up as straight, talking quietly amongst each other eating soup with their vegetables, not arguing or fighting, not even a playful punch. Their appeared to be no anger or aggression, it appeared as if it was the perfect place, with perfect unison, like a Utopia.When the kids saw them approaching they turned around in their seats staring at Sool, waiting for instructions from there head master. "Students, this is our new disciple, Timmy Larkeson, he'll love it at this school, right?" boomed Sools voice throughout the small dining room. "Welcome, you will love it here because Mr. Sool is always right" they said in perfect unison, all having the same droning tone. That was creepy, thought Timmy, what kind of school has kids that speak in perfect unison and have the exact same tone. "Hi," He replied to the group of kids nervously, afraid they would try to take over his mind or something. "OK Timmy, sit down with the rest of the kids and finish dinner with us, when we are done with dinner talk to Simon if you have any questions and he will fill you in on our school schedule".

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; text-align: left;">After Timmy had finished dinner, he found Simon and spoke with him. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; text-align: left;">"So, you're Simon", Timmy began, <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; text-align: left;">"Oh yes, hi Timmy, My name is Simon Valdez" as he spoke, Timmy noticed that his voice had the same strange accent that Sool had when he spoke to Timmy earlier, which was very strange. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; text-align: left;">As they walked Timmy decided to ask Simon something <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; text-align: left;">"Look, Simon, I was wondering, why do you guys around here all act like your brainwashed or something. Wait..... are you?". <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; text-align: left;">Simon looked around them like he was nervous someone was watching when he felt confident no one was he sighed and looked at Timmy, <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; text-align: left;">“Ok Timmy, we can’t talk long so I’ll be brief. We are in trouble, all of us in this school. This is no ordinary school, we are prisoners of Ark Sool, the head master.” <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; text-align: left;">As he spoke the accent that he had earlier was gone and he sounded like a normal kid again, <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; text-align: left;">“He has all of us in some sort of spell that is making us listen to him, but the thing is that it only works when he speaks so there has to be something in his voice. I just got here a couple of months ago so I am still hopeful, I think that if you help me and the rest of us by somehow stopping the spell, we will be free and can leave," <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; text-align: left;">"I know what you mean when you talked about his voice, I felt that when I went to ask questions and he told me to stop asking questions and listened even though I wanted to ask more questions," Timmy explained. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; text-align: left;">"OK, Timmy I wish we could talk more but we can't right now, we can't until you figure out what is wrong with his voice, eventually if you are under the spell long enough you can no longer resist it whether he is talking or not and I fear that I am getting close to that time. I was suppose to talk to you about your schedule so here is you schedule for the quarter, good luck,". <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; text-align: left;">Timmy nodded, grabbed the paper, and walked into his room very confused. Timmy slept bad that night and didn't get any sleep.

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; text-align: left;">When he woke up he went through his schedule and when when they went to lunch Timmy split off from the group and headed for the headmasters office(he got a map that day so he knew where everything was). When he got to Sools office he didn't see anything out of the ordinary and it seemed like it was an ordinary principle's office. He started digging through his desk drawers to find something that would explain how Sool has all of the kids under his spell. When he got to the last drawer he saw it was locked. He felt his pockets for anything he could use and he found some bobby pins, which was strange. He figured he could use them to pick the lock but he did not know how. He tried anyway and got it open on the first try, he must be good at picking locks. He found a key to a door that was locked when Timmy tried opening it and the lock picks did not work. Now he tried the key and opened the door. When he looked inside he jumped back a few paces because he saw all of his classmates tied up. He even saw Simon. He had just saw all of these kids heading for lunch. This made not sense.

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; text-align: left;">When he tried to go untie one of the kids he heard a shot whiz by his left ear and he jumped to the floor. He realized that he was getting shot by tranquilizer guns. He got behind a book shelf and looked out to see who was shooting at him. He realized that it was Ark Sool and a group of big guys in black suits. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; text-align: left;">"Where did these guards come from" though Timmy. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; text-align: left;">They could not see Timmy so they now split up and were searching the room. When one came around the book shelf corner he kicked the man in the guts as hard as possible and as quick as a cat. When the man was down Timmy took his gun and darts and loaded the gun. After that he got down on his knee in front of a lower section of the shelf that had no books on it and took aim at the group of men. He started shooting them down one by one until it was just Sool. He ran out of the book shelf area and looked straight at Sool. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; text-align: left;">"Those kids out there, they're clones are they not?" asked Timmy. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; text-align: left;">"They are, I made them all myself, and after all that work I will not let it get ruined by one kid he got curious", Sool said fiercely. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; text-align: left;">"Sool just free the kids and get rid of the clones it's for the best, you know you don't want to throw away your life, if you free them I will tell the cops you were cooperative" said Timmy. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; text-align: left;">"No, my life has already been thrown away. I did this because my life was thrown away. This is my last chance to do something and I am not going back to prison before it is done" Sool said in a depressing way , <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; text-align: left;">then quickly pulled out a real gun and started to shoot at Timmy. Timmy quickly rolled to the side and ran back into the book shelves. Books right and left of him got shot but he always managed to be faster than Sool and dodge them. Timmy was scared out of his mind and did not know what to do. Then he saw an area of the shelves that were cleared and tried climbing them, it worked. When he got to the top he aimed right at Sool and said <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; text-align: left;">"Now your life is really over Sool," and shot a dart right into his chest. He fell to the ground with a loud THUD.

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; text-align: left;">After this Timmy untied all the kids and they all went into the dining hall to have dinner. Timmy talked with all of the kids and asked what had happened and how long they had been in there and most said that Sool would just take them out of their bed at night, get a sample of their hair to make the clone, and tie them up in the closet he found them in. They also told him they had been in their for over 4 years, all of them except Simon of course. When they were done they contacted their parents and they all came to take them home. Timmys parents rushed to the school after Timmy told them what had happened. As they were driving home his parents asked him tons of questions including: how did happen and how did you know. After they were done with the questions they told him they were sorry they sent him there and they would never do something like that again. This went on for about 3 hours even though after the first half an hour he found his ipod under his chair and started to listen to music so he did not hear anything they said after that. When they finally got home in Great Falls, Montana they were all exhausted and after saying good night to his parent went up to his room. When Timmy went to sleep that night he slept great feeling good about himself for saving those kids and making sure they got home safe. While he slept he smiled to himself. After that he always thought about Sool aiming that gun at him and how close he had come to death, but he resolved that it was worth it for saving all of those kids.

deangroom activity #2

The five kids had just started their jog when a group of dogs, which had escaped, ran up to them, barking loudly and running around in circles so they would not get stepped on. The kids tried to get the dogs to calm down and to stop barking but it was a pointless effort, for the dogs still barked all the more and ran in circles in faster. Finally the owners of the dogs, people that were known to not take very good care of the dogs because these dogs ran away a lot, came over casually and put the dogs on leashed and took them back without even an apology like nothing happened.

Timmy thought that things could not get any stranger and he was wrong when he saw the other kids at the school, all sitting around a large circular table sitting up as straight, talking quietly amongst each other eating soup with their vegetables, not arguing or fighting, not even a playful punch. Their appeared to be no anger or a gg ression, it appeared as if it was the perfect place, with perfect unison, like a Utopia.When the kids saw them approaching they turned around in the ir seats staring at Sool, waiting for instructions from there head master.

After Timmy had finished dinner, he found Simon and spoke with him. "So, you 're Simon", Timmy began, "Oh yes, hi Timmy, My name is Simon Valdez and the head master told me to help you find your stuff and get to know where your going, answer any of your questions, and help you get started on your classes .S o follow me to your room and if you have any questions please ask them on the way" as he spoke, Timmy noticed that his voice had the same strange accent that Sool had when he spoke to Timmy earlier, which was very strange.

I was suppose to talk to you about your schedule so here is you schedule for the quarter, good luck," . Timmy nodded, grabbed the paper, and walked into his room very confused. Timmy slept bad that night and didn't get any sleep. At the beginning clarify that it is Timmy thinking and acting.After Simon speaks you repeated that it was weird.After Simon explains the situation the kids are in, put Timmy said or something to clarify that Simon is done speaking.Explain the last sentence.

When he woke up he went through his schedule and when when they went to lunch Timmy split off from the group and headed for the headmasters office(he got a map that day so he knew where everything was). When he got to Sools office he didn't see anything out of the ordinary and it seemed like it was an ordinary principle's office. He started digging through his desk drawers to look for anything.
