And even more money to people that have children. 100 has a daughter named Chelsy. It is Chelsy's birthday. Some people are plotting against 100. Guess what - 28 is one of them!

When the gang came, she listened carefully to what they said. Then she wrote on a piece of paper she brought. They said, "Let's try to get him tomorrow." That was enough. She tiptoed out of the room. The next day she ran to her father's office. She said, "Father, father, today the spies want to get you."
"How did you find out?"
It was too late. A hand reached out for 100!
"I told you, Father," said Celse.
"Do not be afraid," said the Secret Service. spie.
Just then Celse turned around her father was not there.
Molly said she was in the kitchen. So Celsey ran to the kitchen. Where was olly?
There was a note:
Dear Celsey,
I'm at the pool."
Celsey ran to the pool. Just as Celsey was about to warn her, a hand reached out and just like that Molly was gone.
"Yiks [sic]!" she said. She ran back to bed. She hugged her teddy bear and went to sleep. She went out to play with a secret service. All of a sudden Chelsy saw a hole! She looked inside. There was her father and mother. Celsy ran to get the phone. She called the police. The police arrested the bad guys. And lived happily ever after.
P.S.
The bad guys only got ten years of jail. And there was a new president. 15 was her name. And 100 died. 100's grave was in the hole.
15 lived happily as she lived.
[There is not actually a THE END, but I feel there should be. So]
THE END.
That was the first real story I wrote. It took me a whole month and I was really, really proud of it -- other people were journaling to the daily prompts about whatever, but me, I was grinding away on the story of 100 and his daughter Chelsy Celsy Chelsea. I think it's really stood the test of time, don't you?
