   "It's time to leave," sobbed Edlia. Jierra did not understand why Edlia was sobbing. Then Dave said, "Mozar is very sick. There is a high possibility that he'll... he'll... pass away into the heavens,'' (sob). "But we can't just leave," said Jierra. She almost sobbed too, but not quite, because she did not cry very often, even if  horrible things were going on. Jierra again: "I met this monster and I have a feeling he has something to do with Mozar being sick and everything." Dave: "Come on, idiot. There's no such thing as monsters. Anyway, I have to pee reeeeeeaaaaaaaal bad." But behind them, there was a low growl. "Jierra, your're right, I am the one who is going to kill Mozar. And Dave, you are right about there being no monsters. We are not monsters. We are evil creatures. We are the tribe of the Dirty Slog. We are the dirtiers who kill and pollute."

            She got up and started down a passage way. She did it on all fours so she could use her nails  for lots of little tiny lanterns so that she would not bump into anything. She was shaking, and she was thirsty. The passage way was so long that it took an hour to get through!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She stopped and decided to take a li'l nap. Well, by this time, the creature was very angry. It had come to check on her and when it got there it mumbled, "Must'v figured out the passage way." Edlia and Dave, two of Jierra's cousins, had also come to check on Jierra. They walked for a long time. They found the cell. They lifted it up and slid down the passage way. Meanwhile, Jierra awoke with a start. She heard footsteps coming. Now she was very thirsty. She heard Edlia's tender, gentle voice say,"Jierra!" Edlia sounded as if she was about to cry. "Yes, I'm here," Jierra replied. She held up her nails. "Oh, thank goodness," exclaimed Edlia. Dave said, "We brought some water for you."

    Jierra understood that this meant that the rectangle with bars was the cell. So the square was somewhere at the bottom of the cell. What scared her was that she didn't know if it was an escape or... a booby trap. She was going to have to be brave and risk it being a booby trap. She knelt down and traced the floor with her fingers. She finally traced a small square. She jumped on it. It opened and she squeezed through. It was not that she was fat, (in fact she was very skinny), it was just that she was thirteen and this was fit for an eight-year-old. It was pitch-black and the only reason she could see her hands in front of her face if she wanted was because she had on Mega-Glow Nail Polish For Hands Of All Ages!. She kept Falling,Falling,Falling,Falling,Falling faster and faster until she fell hard on her back. She saw a spider on one of her nails and the only thing that kept her from screaming was the fact that it was just a daddy-long-legs. "Hi, Daddy", said Jierra, and giggled.

Jierra followed the creature until she saw a rusty old cell. "You will go in there forever. It is jail," said  the creature.  The creature took away her basket of cheese, apples, hot cocoa, her lantern, phone, and her star chart.    "No!" screamed Jierra. But it was too late. The creature had pushed her in and turned the key on the lock.He handed her a piece of stale bread crust and a little paper cup of water through the bars. Jierra was so tired that as soon as the creature left, she fell fast asleep. She had a dream. Her dream was that there was a rectangle with lines through it. It had a square in it. Jierra woke up sweating for two reasons. One, because she was scared of weird dreams. Two, because she knew what her dream meant. And these things scared her very much.

"Follow me," the figure said. By now Jierra could see that the figure was a light but not bright unattractive green color. It had webbed hands and a smooth, clean face, that although was smooth and clean, was not at all handsome. It had long, tangly gray hair and a matching long, tangly gray beard. At the end of the figure, there was, instead of legs, a fin. But not all of it was visible. Instead of a real end, there was a trail of gray smoke hanging off the end of it. It had piercing red eyes. It looked like a cross between a man and a sea monster. The stars were no longer  out.

The Dooms of the Dunes - chapter one

                         THE DOOMS OF THE DUNES 
                       CHAPTER ONE
Jierra was lying on the couch and reading a baby book called " Where's Spot?" Jierra was like that. She would read anything that was interesting and not too hard. She put  the book down and sighed. Tonight she would ask Aunt Anastasia if she could go to the beach tonight. Here's why this was hard. Aunt did not like Jierra going out at night. But when Jierra asked, Aunt yelled, "FINE!!! BUT JUST THIS ONCE!!!"  Jierra set out to the beach to study stars with a basket of cheese, apples, and hot cocoa, a lantern, her phone, and a chart of the night sky.  Then she saw a figure in the distance. It gruffly said, "This is property of THE KING. "What?" said Jierra, taking a few steps back.  She adjusted her glasses to make sure that this was not Uncle Vincent trying to scare her. It was not. The figure growled, " I said, this is property of THE KING."

                         P  r  o  l  o  g  u  e
Jierra Flourence Meetlofe's parents  had passed in a car wreck when Jierra was only six. Fortunately, Jierra was so smart that when a policeman came to her, she was able to tell him where her aunt and uncle and cousins Edlia, Dave, and Mozar  lived. They took care of her for the next six years of her life, but as soon as she turned thirteen, they let her go to the beach by herself because they lived really close. But when she goes at midnight with a basket of cheese , apples, and hot cocoa, a lantern, her phone, and a chart to study the night sky, what will happen?
