Story, by: RileyI was living in west Africa. My mother and I were living

regular lives when out of the blue strangers kidnapped me. They chained us with others and led us to the shore. When the painful walk was done and I had seen several of my neighbors and friends being whipped we arrived at a big ship with strange, white aliens who put us on shelves, close together, with our arms and legs shackled. We were given little food and my whole body ached. I couldn’t move and my throat stung of thirst.

After three months of this the ship stopped and I was led onto a strange, unknown land. People wore lots of clothes and it was cold, compared to home. Mom was put on a platform. She looked very ragged and put down. People (the alien kind) called out in strange voices strange words. After a little she was handed over to a man who took her away. Then it was my turn. I stepped onto the platform and after a few people a man took me. He took me to a plantation and that’s where I’m now, working for nothing.

Story ,By: Tia My life was fine until those stagers took me. They took me and my family .They me and my family get on a rom are homes boat along with other people I think that the boat had about 900 people on it .Its is very hot and stuffy and so hard breath .we were on the boat for quite some time .Every one is wounding when we were going to get of this boat and what was going on. They where also wondering why are these stranger's taking us from are homes .

The boat is finally docked .The strangers started taking some people off of the boat. While I am still on the boat I hear people shouting out money. Like 500,540,550 ,560 and things like that .I think that they are having a action .but I was wasn't for sure but one thing crossed my mind what were they biting for . When I finally got of the boat I found out what they where biting for. They were selling us like we are not alive it was all most like we where property. the people they sold us to were mean. they wiped us and Beat us when we did not work fast enough or when we did not do what they said .This was the worst day ever.
