I know to ask yes or no questions but it’s a lot harder to break my questions down and get little bits of information from each one and tie it all in on closing. I know this has been vauge but i can’t disclose the case. Any suggestions?

The Kinitics: Part 1- Escape and Capture

Hi, my name is Tela Kinitic. I’m sixteen years old, and some people see me as an ordinary curly, brown haired teenage girl, but I’m not. I have to raise my younger brother and sister because my parents, Christina and Charles, lost us in the crowded streets of New York City while we were on the run from scientists and exposure of our family secret. Our family has always had this gift (or curse) that some people might call psychic powers. According to my parents, every single person in the Kinitics line was born with an ability inherited from a parent, grandparent, or ancestor. My mother has hydrokinesis, the power to manipulate water and other liquids with the mind, while my father has pyrokinesis, the power to manipulate fire with the mind. I am telekinetic, as my name describes, so I have the ability to move objects, but I am still stuck on micro telekinesis, I can only move small objects. My thirteen year old brother Jacob has cryokinesis, the ability to create and control ice. Penelope, my ten year old sister has chlorokinesis, or florakinesis, as some people call it, the power over plants. The scientists would try running tests or, who knows, probably dissecting a psychic’s brain any shot they could get. But my family didn’t plan on giving them that shot. So my siblings and I travel everywhere, trying to escape the hands of those after my kind while looking for our parents.
We were in the scorched Arizona desert, and we still needed to cross New Mexico to get to Winnemucca, Nevada. I was “visiting” a friend I had met in camp over in my hometown of Aurora, Illinois. Walking under the desert sun quickly dehydrated me so I told my siblings, “let’s take a break.”
We stopped and took a break under a dry, dead tree.
“Hey, Jake, make me an ice cube, please,” I said to Jacob, my masculine mini me.
“Make that two,” added Penny, my beautiful little sister. I envied how her short black hair shined brilliantly under the sun.
Jacob conjured ice out of thin air. I think it had something to do with the hydrogen or oxygen in the air.
“Here you go.” He handed Penelope and me an ice cube each. Jacob had made one for himself too.
We thanked him.
“Hey,” I exclaimed,” I just noticed you learned how to form ice.”
“That isn’t all I can do,” he responded. ” I can also do this.” Jacob touched a tree and it froze inside and out.
“That is so cool!”
All he could really do for his first thirteen years were make the temperature slightly cold and create miniature snow clouds. Penny could just barely speed up and slow down the growth of plants.
“How about you?” I asked Pen.
“Watch,” she said. The large roots of another tree came out of the ground and started whipping everywhere.
“Awesome! Want to see what I ca—
I was interrupted by the loud VROOMING of a car. We all turned around. Driving toward us was a yellow jeep and the person driving it was my family’s arch nemesis, Professor Julius Springer. His smile seemed as if he was going through rigor mortis. Right when he was about to hit us I pushed Jacob and Penelope out of the way and I jumped out of the way. Springer stepped on the brake and made a 360 degree spin that ended by crashing into the frozen tree. As we got up, three tall, muscular men came out of the jeep.
“Get them!” ordered Springer.
The three men took no mercy on us, even if we were kids, and tackled us down. While my attacker lay on top of me, I kicked him between the legs. He shouted a few curses, and I threw him off with my power. Meanwhile, Jacob was helping Penelope with her guy because he had just frozen his attacker. Penelope had no way to defend herself except with her root whips. As Pen whipped the man, Jacob formed hailstones out of the air. A root caught the guy and the hailstones came down on him until he was knocked out.
When my younger siblings were finished with the guy, they ran to help me. I was having a hard time because I had just mastered pushing and pulling and throwing things with telekinesis. After the thirtieth telekinetic push, I got an intense headache. I closed my eyes trying to relax the headache, and I did but then I felt really cold. When I reopened my eyes, I saw my opponent lying on the ground with shattered all around him.
“Wha–”
“You just threw balls of ice out of your hands!” shouted Penelope.
Jacob stood in place, stunned that I had the same power as him.
“That isn’t fair!” he shouted, “My power and I are unique, so you can’t the same power as me!” He turned around with a pouty face. Rocks started levitate around him.
Jacob, are you doing this? I said in my head.
“Doing what?” he said out loud.
Turn around, I thought once more.
He did as I told him. What for? he thought in his head.
Do you see my lips moving?
The rocks instantly fell to the ground. He hadn’t noticed them. Jacob was more stunned that we could hear what the other was thinking than when I used cryokinesis.
“Is this what I think it is?”
For some reason all my work did not fit in the details box.
2 finish reading it go 2 teenink.com, search the kinitics, finish it, rate, and comment on it. Thanks!
Okay, thank u for all the “advice” and opinions, but can u tell me exactly what I could fix to make it better, I’d appreciate it!:)

How much gasoline do those refill trucks hold?

October 9th, 2009
Posted by: admin

How do gas stations work? I see the big tankers on the highway and in town going between stations to fill the underground containment pool, but it seems like with all the people visiting the pump the station would have to have a tanker there 3-4 times a day to keep up with it. Does one tanker truck hold enough for multiple stations? Where do they refill the trucks? Do the trucks need to refilled 3-4 times a day also? This is a lot… but I’m realizing I have no knowledge of this huge part of our daily lives! Someone please enlighten me!

Made A Vote-By-Mail Ballot Error, Should I Send It In Anyway?

October 9th, 2009
Posted by: admin

I’m voting by mail for this Presidential Election and I just received the ballot in the mail. I tried my best to follow all the instructions that were included and I did, except for one. The instructions said I had to use a black ball point pen and I used a dark blue pen instead, by accident. Apparently, I was in the wrong light and it looked black at the time. Anyway, my question is, should I send it in anyway and hope that they accept it since I did everything else right, or should I just trash it and request a new, replacement ballot?
