Hershey: A Short Story
Madison woke up this morning and felt a little dizzy. She figured she just needed something to eat and she would be fine. Robert, her dad, was just coming up the stairs to wake her up. He is a news reporter so he has to leave early. Normally he wakes her up about the time he is leaving. Every day after school, Madison goes home and watch my dad on tv. Today's show was weird. You could tell they were concerned about something. They were talking about the differences in the rotation of the earth. Madison didn't understand the importance. When my Robert came home, he explained it to her. He told her that scientists have discovered that the Earth is moving a lot faster around the sun than it is supposed to. He told her that that was why it seemed like it was warm in the winter, cold in the summer, and she was dizzy. The Earth started this years ago, but just now are scientists seeing a noticeable difference. For the next month, Madison felt dizzy all the time. The whole world felt dizzy because they could feel the Earth spinning on its axis. Stores were sold out of headache medicine. They closed all of the schools in the area.

    Milton Hershey was born September 13, 1857 to Fannie Snavely and Henry Hershey in the city of Derry Township, Pennsylvania. He had one sibling name Serina who was born in 1862. Fannie was the daughter of Bishop Abraham Snavely, who was of the Mennonite Church. His father too was a member of the Mennonite Church, but unfortunately, he always schemed “get rich schemes” that always seemed to fail. This would adversely affect the family, as there was not a stable environment for Milton and his sister. Milton attended several different schools due to this and never continued his studies after the 4th grade. He eventually moved to Nine Points, an area near the Lancaster, Pennsylvania…

    32 “Well its actually happening ma’, I’m goin’ back to school.”Rufus said. “I want you to know, I truly am proud of you Rufus.” His mother replied. Curtis and Janet went to a different school then Rufus but he still walked them to school then walked himself to school. On his way to school a car followed him very slowly but Rufus kept walking. When he got to school it looked the same on the outside that it always had. Rufus pushed open the doors at Searingtown School and yelled “I’m back!” All of his friends ran over to hug him. He went down to the office to get a tour he thought he didn’t need because he remembered every single solitary thing about this place. While the tour was going on everything going on was a blur. He looked left, right and left again, admiring the changes the school had made. “Wow” he sighed. “Is there a problem Rufus?” the tour guide asked. Rufus answered, “When I was here the wall paint was all chipped, there were broken windows and holes in the walls.” “Oh ok, well that concludes our tour and this door on your right is your first period class.” The tour guide replied. Rufus walked in and sat at an available seat at the back of the class room. He opened his notebook and took notes even though he didn’t understand anything that was going on. By the time 5th period came around it was time for lunch he was starving. All of his friends called him over and asked him to sit with him. Momma didn’t make him a big lunch because they didn’t have that much food in the house and then needed to split it 3 different ways. Allison who used to have a big crush on Rufus sat right next to him. Mitchell and Charlie sat across from him and Christina, Alisha and Sammy sat around them. When the bell rang he went to his locker and when he got to class he looked out the window and saw the same car that followed him to school. The only person he thought of was Simon. But he didn’t have a car? Rufus ran to the office to explain the…

    It was a sleepy summer’s day and all I could think about was getting home and relaxing. The sun was gleaming down on us and glistened in our eyes as it reflected through all the droplets of water hanging off the shade cloth. The end of lunch bell finally rang and we all trudged to the lockers to get our books for fifth period. Food Technology. I only chose that subject because it was a bludge. And I guess everyone else there had the same idea as me, because they didn’t seem all that bright. We all sat down and Miss Kemp had that familiar look of sadness in her eyes when she saw it was us that she had to teach. The sky turned two shades darker as clouds began to blanket the sky. I sat up the back in my usual seat next to a quiet girl, like me. The group of trouble makers sat to the left of us and the girls who actually wanted to learn how much flour was needed to bake a cake sat up the front. To the left sat the stoners, staring straight out the window, not touching their books for the whole lesion.…

    Emma’s day began like any other. She woke up in her college dorm room at The George Washington University covered in her down comforter and sheets, sunken into her tempurpedic mattress topper. Getting out of her warm bed and into the crisp cold air of the open dorm room air was tough. Winter in D.C. was turning out to be colder than she expected. She breathed in the fresh air before her, and walked to her Brita water filter to get herself a glass of water. While drinking the crystal clear water, Emma scrolled through her instagram feed and saw a picture that reminded her of her mom. She proceeded to give her mom a call. After she hung up the phone, Emma went to the bathroom and washed her hands, brushed her teeth, and used her favorite mouthwash.…

    Carrie predicted, the same things happened to us everyday. Teachers acted like we weren’t there, students were friends with Lillian Jean, who disliked us very much, and Jeremy was the only person, other than Cassie and Mrs. Carrie, who would talk to me. The only good thing about this was that we get the cafeteria to ourselves, but it didn’t do much as we were refused the right to be served food by the cafeteria ladies. The next day, we had to stay home and take care of Mama because she got a cold. One thing I knew for sure is that we were not missing school. What we didn’t know then was that the day at school went different for every student and teacher since we weren’t there. Unfortunately for us, Mama felt better the next day and we were no longer needed in the house, so we were sent back to school. “I’m riding the bus today, no matter what anyone says. I’m too tired to walk the whole couple of miles,” complained Cassie as she started towards the bus stop. I didn’t want her to get in trouble, but I was also worn from last night where we had to cook supper, put Mama to bed, and put ourselves to…

    After we left something strange had happened. It seemed as if everything has changed. We started to walk around looking for the car trying to retrace our steps, but after 15 minutes of looking we had no luck of finding it. Our legs were tired and our backs were burning up from the scorching heat of the sun. I felt like i was going to pass out. “Maybe it's over in this lot” my day said in a light, tired voice. “Ya i think so too” my sister agreed. But it was nowhere to be found in that area.…
