Time Warp
by Kit Marcotte, 2006 Once upon a
time there was a family of eight members.
Their dad was very smart so he built a time machine. He took his family along. When they
arrived they saw a forest. So they
explored. They saw amazing things.
They accidentally stumbled upon a Cherokee But
suddenly they got caught by Indians with blow guns. Their chief asked who they were. Before they spoke a few giant spiders dropped
and took an Indian for dinner. They
escaped fast. Their work was done. Was what we
saw true? Yes, said the Cherokee
leader. I can’t believe it the dad said. Next time
we will set some traps. Are there any
other monsters? Speaking of
enemy tribes, they stole our gold.
Gold? Yes, magic Gold! We’re having war over it. Good luck with that. But we have
to go. Bye! Oh no!
Our time machine is broken! Well,
looks like we’re not leaving. We shall
help with the war. Let’s get prepared
now. Let us also pump up a fake dinosaur
to scare them for the war. But a big one
too. So big that they will never
return! It will scare them so bad! Well, let’s get to pumping and make other
traps. Let’s go to
sleep now. When they woke up, they ate
breakfast. They also saw a dinosaur so
they activated all the traps and used their blowguns. It finally fell down dead. They kept eating. The war was
about to start. The armies were face to
face when a six armed elephant came from the sky. It
held two swords. They thought they would
have to fight even more.
Instead he
made peace between them. The other
Indians gave back the gold. They became
friends. The Indians
were so nice that they let the man and his family make a wish from the magic
gold. Then they returned home. They were happy. One day
they went back. They wanted to see their
friends again. But that’s not what they
saw. Instead of a forest and creatures,
they saw burning villages and a destroyed forest.
Their
friends were no more. They missed their
friends so much. The oldest child said
some could have survived. But they
saw Indians with claw marks on their entire bodies. They were lion marks. A lion dressed in gladiator clothes put a
spear to their heads. Their dad got an
invention but it got wiped out of his hand by the lion. Later they
got help from the six armed elephant once again. He went to go make peace. The
elephant was half way to the temple when a jail cell fell on him. He could still see the temple. The lions took him in. When they were inside the temple he cut the
bars open. The only
way to defeat the army was his magic powers.
So he used them. Then they all
turned into the forest. The forest
was back to normal. The Indians and
animals were back too. Nothing in the
forest was wrong.
They stayed
for a while. They had fun. The family said goodbye and lived happily
ever after.
