Twist Ending

Short Story Twist Ending

He was a hard working man, successful, enjoyed the finer things in life. He would run around playing football with his Friends in High school and talk to all the pretty girls that sat and watched him score a touchdown. He’d take one out on a date and compliment her on how beautiful she was. She would smile and laugh and give him a kiss on the check. He’d take her home and wish her a goodnight and tell her he’d call her in the morning. She’d give him one more kiss and go inside and sit on her bed and think, while he got in his car and drove off into the night. She knew something was strange about this guy, he was to good to be true. She went into a deep thought and realized that it was morning already. How did she fall asleep ? She can’t remember a thing. She got up out of bed and looked around and saw that her place was cleaned up. This is strange. She pinched herself to see if she was dreaming. « Ouch » she said. This proved that it wasn’t a dream. Her head was spinning with confusion. The coffee pot was making a fresh batch of warm coffee, but she didn’t even get up to go and start making it. She just shrugged her shoulders and went to go pour a fresh cup to see if that would wake her up some more to see that all this was just in her head. She Grabbed her cup and walked to the table were she sat and looked out the window at the beautiful towers in the city. She remembered that the guy she met last night was suppose to call her, and possibly take her out again for another date. She thought maby he was the one that would win her heart and marry her. She waited and waited but still no call. Maby he’s busy she thought to her self. So she went and got ready to take a shower and hopefully by the time she got out he’d call… 20 mins in the shower and still no call. She gave up hope and got ready for work. She got dressed and grabbed her keys and headed towards the door, when the phone suddenly rang. She quickly picked it up. « hello ? » she said. « hey how’s it going ? » he replied. « sorry i couldn’t call any sooner i over slept ». « oh ha that’s OK . I'm just about to head out to get to work » she replied. «  Maby we can do something when i get off though ? ». «  Well about that. The thing is i can’t see you for a while. I’m kind of busy watching over some one and can’t leave her out of my sight ». « oh that’s fine well when your not busy let me know, we can get some dinner or something ? » she asked. « sounds good, talk to you later. Bye ». He hung up. She layed down the phone and quickly ran out the door because she was going to be late. This is very strange she thought why would he be watching over someone ? Was it a job ? was he a babysitter or something ? Huh ? As she crossed the street she looked at a man who looked a lot like the guy that she met last night and was just on the phone with. She quickly walked toward him but she couldn’t keep up with him. It seemed that she was running in place. She screamed at the man telling him to wait for her but the man didn’t even budge to turn around and look. She dropped her purse and started running to him, the man took off sprinting down the sidewalk and lead her on a high speed chase down the pavilion, through a puddle, and into an ally. Just then the man stopped in front of a wall and turned to look at her. He had bleach white eyes as if he was a blind man. She slowly walked towards him, slowly reaching to touch him. He backed up away from her with each and every step until he couldn’t back up anymore. She finally stood in front of him and touched his face. He grabbed her and tied her up and deported her to a room with nothing but blank white walls and a little bed. The women freaked out and realized that this wasn't a dream but a crazy imagination. She snapped back to reality and realized that she was in an insane asylum and was put in a room for running down the hall’s chasing nothing, but what she thought was a man.

Positives about Creative Writing were that it taught me how to become a better writer and use different forms of writing. I helped me use my creative side and making up stories and daily journals that are crazy and sometimes don't make sense. I liked how we had a daily Journal in the beginning of class and also the song of the day was pretty cool because you got to hear different types of music that people liked.

Some Negatives would be that some of the assignments I didn't really like because they didn't make to much sense and they were kind of hard to create without looking up examples on the Internet.

Well worst experience I had in a restaurant is when a virus went Nom Nom Nom on my computer for creative writing!... DAMN viruses. Now I don't know what to write about. But in all seriousness I think the worst thing that has happened to me in a restaurant was spilling soda on t he table when I was 10.

Imagine you opened your own restaurant. Tell the name of your restaurant. Explain what the restaurant looks like, who works there, and what you serve.


             If i opend my own restaurant the name would be Bucky because of my last name and it's been my nickname ever since 6th grade. The inside would look like a sports bar mixed with a little bit of a down south feeling. Me and my dad would own and work their with some other employees. We would server alot of food from the south that you normally wouldn't see in the northern parts,but if you do happen to find it in the north it won't be as good. Also their would be a bar where people could drink and my dad could sell his own brewed beer he's been making.... that's pretty much it. Their would be jazz music playing in the bacground to kind of have that entertainment piece while you are enjoing your meal, and we'd have TVs around so people can watch the big games. To top it off we'd get local artists to do a live preformance that is appropriate for entertainment while eating on a saturday night.

sCI-fI

The year was 2111, and I was going nowhere in life. The economy was horrible; a biological war has broken out. As thousands fled for cover from the airborne disease only few could get away. This was a world where gamers ruled everything. Gamers where the most important thing to society now because it was so technological that people couldn’t comprhend the technology they were trying to handle. We all knew this day was coming where technology would rule the world and how it works. Now that it’s happened it all comes down to this. The world ending and only one way to save it… By going into the system and defeating the main system itself. Researchers and scientists took the best 100 GAMERS in the world and put them to the ultimate test.
Luckily I was one of the ones chosen. I didn’t agree to do it because I liked gaming. I agreed to do it to save the world, you see I was once the best gamer in the world. I had broken thousands of high scores and set record breaking times that no one could beat. Some would say I was a hacker others would say I use mods but I knew the truth, and that’s all that mattered. The other 99 GAMERS and I were invited into the city arena where we sat looking at big screens scattered in different corners of the place. Each screen had a certain type of games ranging from FPS, to MMORPG.
Each person had a specific type of game they were good at as for me I was equally skilled in each type. The one I liked the most was MMORPG. Anyways all of us GAMERS were rounded up into the arena and seated in the seats. As we sat there we watched as the researchers and scientists took the stage and explained to us why we were here. We are here because we’re the best GAMERS out there and we need to help save society from the technological advances taking over.  The scientists explained to us what we would be going through.
 A virtual reality helmet that was synced up to all the other helmets of the GAMERS. Together we would all go through different types of games and have to win 3 battles in each to get to the main area in which the technology was cloning itself and spreading harm to our outside world. They explained very little because there wasn’t much time. They assigned each GAMER to a seat with their own helmet. We all got into our seats and placed the helmets on top of our heads. It was dark at first but then the researchers in the control room flipped the switch which dimmed the lights in the arena and triggered the helmet to turn on. A shock was sent to our heads which put us into the other world.  As soon as the GAMERS entered the virtual world we all didn’t know what to expect. We knew that there was going to be a different variety of games in which we had to win 2 battles in each.
 Just as we all starred we heard a voice coming from above us. Was it a virtual god? No it was the same voice we heard in the arena. The scientist could communicate with us in the other world. He explained that instead of going through a variety of games we would only go through 1 type and only have to battle one major battle. He also explained that the world we were in right now is a FPS game. He directed us on where to get the weapons and armor we needed from the armory upstairs. We all rushed upstairs to check out what they had. We all stopped in shock of all the wide varieties of weaponry and armor they had. There were tanks, snipers, incendiary grenades and much more.
We all suited up in armor and choose two main weapons of our choice, followed by a couple grenades and extra mags. I chose to stick with my favorite combo in any FPS game I used to play, which was the Sniper rifle and an Assault Rifle for quick burst action. As we all completed getting our inventory together the voice popped back up “Now that you have your weaponry and armor, the battle begins…. Now!”. “What? How do we know what to do? Are we attacking or defending?” a man next to me yelled.
Just then the place shook. There was a huge explosion down the hall from us. *Click Click* was all you heard as every GAMER in the room loaded their weapon and got ready to move out. Just then a map popped up in front of us showing us our objective was to protect the goods in the room next to us for about 10 mins. And then advance onto the enemy ship and take it over. Sounded easy enough we thought. We all got in squads of 5 and guarded a certain area.
My squad was on the front line watching down the hall to where the explosion came from. I had 3 men down below me all looking down the hall while I went above them and set up my sniping position. The last man just kind of watched my back to make sure I was good on ammo. He claimed he wasn’t too good at FPS so I figured I’d give him an easy job. As we sat there guarding the hallway we wondered if anything was going to come. We sat there for about 2 minutes and thought that it was pointless.
 I signaled one of the 3 down low to go check it out as the other two protected him. They got up and quickly walked down the hall way to check out the explosion. As they reached the breach in the wall they inspected it and gave a thumbs up saying it was clear. I waved them the signal to come back. “How you doing back their Private?” I asked back to the guy behind me. No reply. I looked back and there I saw a monster holding him, covering his mouth with what seemed to be a type of sword against his throat. I quickly whipped out my assault rifle and took aim at the creature. He hissed at me and sliced the private’s neck and watched him drop to the ground.
 *BANG BANG* I quickly fired two shots into the creatures head as he tried to quickly run. As the creature laid their next to the private I inspected him very carefully. He was odd looking with his small arms and freakishly large legs, as  I sat there inspecting him I heard more shots coming from the room in which we were to protect. I quickly signaled my squad and told them to go to the room and help I’ll stay guard and watch the halls. They rushed into the room quickly shooting the enemy target they spotted. I turned back and watched the hall, looking threw my scope. I wondered how they got past without me seeing. Just then as I was looking through my scope I saw a thin line running across. I quickly shot at it.
*Bang* dropped another one of those creatures as blood dripped from his chest. Just then I called in saying they can turn invisible so make sure you guys have 360 coverage in there otherwise they will sneak up on you.

It was another day at sea with my crew. The sun was shinning bright, temperature rising as the sea boiled a cool boil. We set sail for an island where the tale was that there was a large loot of boot on the island and the first pirate to get it would be a living legend. So many people before me tried to get to the island but have failed and never been heard from again. My crew and I knew this journey would be a long and dangerous one but we were up for the challenge. So we set sail at the crack of dawn. Three weeks later here we are!. about 2 days away from the island and all the booty a man could ask for.... (2 days later) "attack!!!! Drop the rear flank all men on deck." *RAWRRRRRR* "Sir the monster is to strong we can't defeat it with these lousy swords!". "Well use your teeth then scum we have nothing else to use.

Think of a fictional character you really like (from a book, movie, or TV show). Craft a story with that person losing the most valuable item to him or her.
 It was a late night and Spartan 117 was on patrol with his platoon. Patrol wasn't the best thing in the world to spartan 117 but he knew it was going to be a long day tomorrow. The enemy ship was on a crash course towards the spartan air support. He knew that his ship had to quickly get to the air support bay and help them defeat the covenant. Spartan 117 also known as Master Chief sat in the same spot not moving for hours. He was starring out at the horizon as the Halo glistened in the milky galaxy. Without knowing he did it he set his BR down as he just sat there and starred. One of the guys from his platoon thought it would be funny to take his BR and hide it. So Jeff slowly reaches for the weapon and manages to get the tip of his finger on it when *BAM* his hand is crushed in between the ground and Spartan 117's boot. He grunts in pain as he tries to pull his hand back but he can't...... This is BORING

Marian Bartsch and Joey Catsalgi met on his first day of work. Marian was a nice guy very intelligent and new alot about politics and different views on society and the economy. Joey was also a fairly nice guy and also intelligent. Joey knew alot about the military and has been on deployment for about 2 years before he came back home to see his wife and kids and start a regular job. Joey had a rough childhood. His father died in the war and his mom had cancer. Joey had to take care of himself and his to ounger sisters alone, and to help with money Joey joined the military to not only help take care of his family but to fight for his country. These 2 guys both worked at a CIA building in Ohio where the pretty much sat around and talked and delivered documents to destinations that in which they needed to be received. One day Joey had to bring a file to his bosses work desk and on the folder it said confidential. Joe wanted to look but he knew it wasn't the right thing to do. As he was looking down at the folder and still walking he kept thinking i wonder what is in the folder. He kept looking at the folder thinking the same thing when all of a sudden! *BAM* he runs into the wall and drops the folder. Papers fall out and then he scrambles to pick them up. As he was picking up the last sheet he saw Marians picture on the page. It was files saying that Marian was going to be fired and replaced by some one with less experience who was willing to work for less pay. Now joey knew that to keep Marian from losing his job he either had to tell Marian to take a pay cut or else. So he quickly drops off the papers to his boss and runs back to his desk with was right next to Marians. He whispers to Marian "pst! Hey i just saw on our file that our going to get fired if they cant find someone to take a pay cut". " I know that's why I'd rather get fired Joey!. i need this job and as much money as i can get" said Marian. Joey just sat there and thought. He ran to his bosses office and said he would be willing to take a pa reduction so Marian could keep his job............. I'M SO BORED I'M SO BORED I'M SO BORED..... THIS STORY DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.

You have just found out you are going to die. You are given all the money you could want. What would be your perfect day?
My perfect day would consist of me hanging out with my girlfriend and taking her out to eat some where really fancy. Buying a huge house in Germany and making it into a video game wonderland. I'd buy a huge plasma screen TV with surround sound all throughout out that house so when I play games people can hear when I blast bad kids in the head with my no scope's. Then I'd give the rest of the money away because I don't care for anything else. I mean im dying anyways why would i need all that money if it's just going to be gone in like 24 hours? So id give it away.

The brightness

How ridiculous I was as a octopus. Swimming around under the water with my weird twisting tentacles. I thought I looked silly trying to swim as they waved around treading to keep me a float. What I found weird was why am I an octopus swimming around in water? This is a bizarre dream. Usually when I have a dream about water that means I have to get up and use the bathroom... OH MY GEEZUS!!! I quickly snapped out of my dream and ran to the bathroom like a silly kangaroo trying to hop for its first time. WHEW! I made it! I used the bathroom without making my self look goofy walking around in wet pants.

The house was made of wobbly glass twisting and turning up to the sky. The house was to big for just one person to live in. Come to think of it I don't think anyone lived here. I've passed this house so many times growing up and I have not seen one person enter or leave the house. No that's a lie I've seen one but it was a UPS guy delivering a package. But it was strange because instead of leaving the package outside the door he entered the house as if he lived there. This was very strange. So I decided its time to investigate. I camped out in my station wagon in the parking lot of the park right across the street from the house. I sat there and investigated the house for a few days. Everyday same thing the house sat there as people an by. I did notice that m neighbor gabby ran past the house everyday when she went for her jogs and everytime she passed the house she would stop and squint at the window as if she saw something in there. As I noticed her stop and squint I decided to take a look at what she was looking at. I also squinted through my bino's and saw a twinkle in the window. As if it was a reflection from the sun hitting a hand held mirror from the inside of the house, this is strange I thought. There is no sun to be seen an where. Its just a dark cloud day with a chance of rain.

If I could invite 3 people to the dinner whether they were living or dead the first person I would choose would be Will Smith a famous African American actor. Id invite him because I grew up watching movies, and television shows with him in them. Ex) Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Wild Wild West, and Men in Black ( I & II). I've always looked up to him for some reason I can't describe but he is for sure one of m favorite actors. Another would be Chuck Norris just because he's a GOD. Ha ha I can't count how man times I've heard Chuck Norris jokes, but when I do hear one I can't help but laugh or smile. And the last person I would invite would be Jackie Robinson, because he broke the color barrier for major league sports which allowed colored folks to start playing sports with whites, which gave me the opportunity to take up any sport i'd like.

Assonance

Counting the endless souls as we put the world in your control
Freedom is how we roll, so stop and gather our death toll.
Sleepless nights await, as we train for this day
As dirt goes flying we hear gunshots ring
Tanks over the horizon blasting while millions of people dying
But we fight on until we know the battle is won, although everyday a new war has just begun

The most scared I've been is when I was at a 5th grade basketball tournament with my dad. My team was in the championship game and while I was playing my dad got a phone call saying my mom had just gotten into a car accident with my little brother and sister in the car with her. My dad got up and left but I didn't realize what was going on until he told me why he left during the 2nd period. When I saw him get up I thought he was leaving to use the restroom so I didn't worry about it but once half time came and I didn't see him I knew something was wrong. But I didn't worry to much about it I just kept playing the game and knew id find out later what had happened. So I finished the game strong we won the championship. Everyone was happy and taking pictures of the son with a trophy but me. I just left and went outside and waited for my dad. I waited for like 2 hours. Luckily there was a park near by so I went there and just swung on the swings while I waited.

hmmmm well... I don't know what to talk about besides random stuff... I forgot to eat breakfast this morning so I'm kind of hungry, Luckily I made a beagle to bring with me to school so I could eat it later on. So this week should be very interesting. I have to go to m girlfriends house to have dinner with her family! :/ ha ha so i need to go out and buy clothes that are actually presentable for such an occasion. Its not a really fancy dinner its just me and her family having dinner at her house but still its the first time I've been invited to have dinner with my girlfriends family. It should be a fun time though. I've talked to her parents a few times and the seem like nice people. I know her dad coaches for boy's lacrosse, and i was interested in taking up lacrosse as a sport so I might go ahead and ask him a few questions about what lacrosse is like because I've never played it before. I know before the didn't seem to like me but once they found out I was a military man the seemed to get alot more respect for me considering I know what I want to do with m life.

8 line poem

The bloody, beat soldiers baking in the burning sun.
The fight for freedom is not fun.
Burning heat, boiling skin blistering.
Fighting foes is not fascinating.
A death a day is a delay for slumber.
How many dead in a day we all wonder.
Sandy storms surround the soldiers.
Suppressed shoots sliding through the air surprising yet another soldier.

Earliest Childhood Memories

The earliest childhood memory I can think of is when i got my first skateboard for Christmas . I was 7 years old and my dad bought me a Element skateboard so I could use it once the snow melted. Then once spring came he would take me to the park and watch while I skated around trying to stay on the board. Eventually i got pretty good at staying on the board and riding around. Then once summer finally came I was able to stay on the board with ease. That's when I started trying to do tricks like Ollie's and kick flips. First time I tried an Ollie I landed it. I thought it was luck so I tried again, and I landed it again. I tried them so much and kept landing them that I didn't need to practice any more because I was already good at them. So I moved onto the bigger things. The Kick flip!. This was a trick I loved watching people do because I thought it was something professionals could do. So I looked online at how to do kick flips and their were some videos on how to place your feet and all that jazz. So I watched the videos for about 2-3 hours just studying how to maneuver the trick. Eventually I would go outside and practice some of the beginning like foot place meant and how to flip the board under myself. Then I was ready. It was time to do the first big trick I'd ever do. I got on my board. Bent m knees slightly and tapped on the tail of the board. I heard the tail snap at the ground like the jaws of an alligator closing on its prey. As soon as I heard that I flicked my front foot off the side of the board to make it flip around. Everything was going in slow motion. As I read online people said the first time you do the trick everything will seem like slow-mo because you have to pay attention to the grip tape. As soon as you flick the board to make it spin you have to look down at your grip tape because as soon as you see the black grip tape after making the board flip around in a 360 motion you need to push your feet back down onto the board.

season of change poem

Spring
Spring the color of green
Green as the grass
The time for running around
The sound of the ball hitting the net
The smell of determination
The taste for victory
The time to start lacross
A woman walks out into the cold night air. Her hands are shaking from what just happened. She can't believe what she just saw. A friendly Humvee crossing the intersection when all of a sudden an IED went off and sent the Humvee flying through the cold desert air. Sirens went off a bright red flash of light blinding her as she ran to get ready to engage the enemy if needed. It was about 0230 and she had little sleep due to recent missions having to go into town and patrol for 16 hrs straight.

Ode

Skateboard oh Skateboard how fast you are
Sitting beneath my broken couch in the garage
You get me from point A to B with haste
You go so fast with no time to waste
I love your wheels
I like doing flip tricks with my heels

Cinquain

War
Lonely, Grueling
Killing, Missing, Forgotten
A thing that ends life
Destruction

Daily Journal 2/16/11

 I wake up and try to take a deep breath, but the deeper the breath the more severe the pain. The ground is hard beneath my back, and I feel a dull pain in my arm... I look in shock at my arm and I see that it is broken. The first time ever breaking a bone and it has to be my arm. What am I going to do it's the semi-finals for football and now me being the star quarter back am out for the rest of the season. I can't help bring out team to championship. I look away from my arm and continue to lay there trying to breathe but every time I do the pain in my chest gets worse and worse. So i decide to slowly breathe through my nose and inhale less. It helps out a little but it still causes severe pain. I take one more shot at trying to look around but I can only see what's in front of me. My back is laying there on the cold hard road scratched and bruised, bleeding the red wine blood through my shirt. I wonder what happened? All i can remember is going to a party getting drunk and that's it. I can't drive so some one must have been the designated driver, but I see no one around but me. Maybe the driver ran off because he was scared? Who knows all i know is I'm in alot of pain.

Metaphor

Every day is an uphill battle.
Life is a battle against a higher enemy  and we are the underdogs seeking higher ground.
Our life lies within our weapon.
Our smell of flowers in the distinct smell of gas.
Sand beaches whip through the air.
Grenades being tossed around like baseballs.
Cracking of the gun bringing back homerun memories.

simile poem

Death is like playing the lottery.
Life is like an ever green tree.
Life is like recycling.
Butterflies are like feelings in your stomach.

Best Friend

Technically I don't really believe in best friends because none of friends are better then the other in anyway. I treat them equal and give them the same amount of respect. But if i had to choose who m best friend would be it would for sure be one of my friends who is a girl that im really close to because they are always crazy wild and unexpected which is funny to me because it amusses me. All my female friends are pretty much better than my guy friends just because they can tell when something is wrong and will help when needed there for if i had to choose a best friend it would be one of my female friends.

2/14/11 Daily Journal

 Out of the dark we came into the dangerous creek rapidly flowing, charging water into the walls of the canyon. BAM!. I blacked out hitting my head against a rock on the canyon wall. I woke up reeking with the smell of fish. I sat up and realized i fell out my raft and washed up onto a shore line. I didn't know where I was so i sat there and thought of a plan. While in deep thought I heard the crafty squeal of an insturment.
I recognized that toon anywhere. Some on nearby was playing the trumpet, They were really bad but I got up onto my feet and decided to walk towards it. As I walked twoards the noise I looked around and noticed that this must be a small island because of all the thick jungle looking trees and wierd animals I've never seen or heard of before.

Song of the Day

  1. I chose this song because, it's one of my favorite songs by the band, I listen to it everyday and I really like the message I get from listening to it but for other people the message may differ.
  2. The story in the lyrics is about being in the middle of the war as an US Army soldier. In some of the lyrics it describes life back at home and how it can affect family and in other parts it describes visuals and stuff seen while in battle like people dieing or wounded.
  3. The structure is A, A, B, B
  4. The emotional tone is set to make listeners really think about what war is like. It also has a sad tone to it but then jumps into a rushing beat. Listening to this song really makes you wonder what it would really be like and cause you to imagine what their seeing as described in the lyrics.
  5. The message or lesson of the song is to think about what our troops are going through, how hard their life is and what they see on almost an everyday basis.

10 years from now

I woke up on a sunny day. It was the middle of June on the coast of Florida where I live with my beautiful wife and 2 kids. I get out of bed and put on some shorts and a shirt. Go down to the kitchen and start cooking breakfast. Its about 7:30 am and the kids are getting ready for a summer vacation to germany with their school. the wife is still asleep due to a long day at work the other day so i decided to let her sleep. I feed the kids and then get them over to the school to leave for their trip. I drop them off say good be and head back home.... Its my wife and I's anniversary so i decided to go and get her gift since she was still asleep. She always talked about how she loved dogs and always wanted one for the house, but we never could decide on what kind to get. So i went out to the animal shelter to see what kind of dogs they have. Their was a wide variety but i decided that i was going to get her a golden retriver. I always grew up liking those kind's of dog's i remember having one myself until it got out one day and I never saw him again. His name was goldy and i thought that suited him well... So i got the golden retriever from the shelter and started to head home when i realized that it would be special if i put a ribbon on the dogs collar... so i ran to the store quickl ran inside and bought a ribbon and tied it around the dogs collar... We headed home and walked through the door. The wife was still sleeping so i figured it would be a nice time to go in and surprise her. I brought her some breakfast in bad along with the dog. I hid the dog in the closet and closed it. I woke up my wife and she sat there and ate her breakfast while we talked then when she was done she got up and looked around. She gave me a dissapointing look like i didn't give her any gifts. I told her to open up the closet and their the dog was.

Most Embarassing Moment

When I was little I used to sleep walk into the living room and then lay back down on the floor. Then my dog would follow me and sleep next to me on the living room floor for the rest of the night, now I have babies pictures of me and my dog on the living room floor sleeping.

the hot summer heat, has me beat

Story Continued

looks my way... and I take out my M4 and shoot above the lions head to scare him for a warning shot, but he didn't flee. The worst part about that is the warning shot was my only bullet. So there we are standing their looking at each other. The zebra is starring in excitement. It grabs popcorn and a lawn chair and watches like its a intense action movie. Lion still starring at me, licks its lips and slowly walks around me. I reach into my pocket and slowly pull out a combat knife. The lion stops and begins to charge towards me. I quickly slash through the air with my knife and i hear a sharp wimper from the lion. The zebra laughes like m sister used to back at home, and the lion is on the ground crying like my older brother. This seems ver strange, animals can't talk or or laugh like a human or cry like my little brother what!? Then i wake up and realize my brother is on the ground crying because in my sleep I hit my brother in the face while he was trying to wake me up and the zebra laughing well... that was m little sister who saw the whole thing happen.
