We were all ranked together at the valuation. Men and women, old and young, married and single, were ranked with horses, sheep,

and swine. There were horses and men, cattle and women, pigs and children, all holding the same rank in the scale of being, and all were subjected to the same narrow examination. Silvery-headed age and sprightly youth, maids and matrons had to undergo the same indelicate inspection. At this moment, I saw more clearly than ever the brutalizing effects of slavery upon both slave and slaveholder."

Write a spooky story
artcher [175]
There once was a kid named John. He was a young and adventurous kid. One day he went into the forest. He was sort of peculiar about it. His friends told him stories that there was a witch who made kids like him disappear. He wanted to prove them wrong that there wasn’t a witch. He soon came across an old, creaky house. He went inside, trying not to make a sound. He tried to see what was inside with his flash light. As soon as he turned around, he saw something dash across the hallway. He was curious. It looked like a dog to him. He went into the room that the thing went it. The witch was standing there, waiting for him. He grabbed John and tied him to the chair. She was stirring a potion. John was trying to yell for help, but he couldn’t. He was too deep into the forest. The witch forced him to drink the potion. Then … POOF! He disappeared, and John was never to be seen again.
