Into the Realm of the Unknown

Well, there was a man on the trampoline, and he was bouncing so high that he kept bouncing higher than the last time every time and soon he went through a cloud. And he landed back on the cloud and stayed there, and then he said, wow, I'm stuck in this clowd, what do I do? I can't get down and then an Eagle came and picked him off the cloud. And dropped him into a lake on a different planet. And he said oh, where am I and I said in a booming voice. You are in Colorado new Colorado on the planet called.Tangerine land he said oh OKI can dig th...

Entrance into the Unknown

Well, there was a knock on the door and little did we know it was a landlord, and he said we had to move right away, and actually we were very happy about that. So we all packed our bags and left the place that had given us so much doom and gloom, although there were happy times and excitable times we just felt like we were fish out of water in that area, the people walking by our house would complain about us being there or if we revved up our motors on our bikes, they would all complain and No one. Just a couple of you, friendly. People ar...

Jean, the CEO of the company, handed the mic to me and I stepped up onto the podium with a little grin on my face, my speech was rehearsed a million times over and over again, and I was sure it would hit their hearts.I began with a sigh and then said, "Dearly beloved.

The contest, the competition we are number one in all e-commerce platforms," and everyone clapped and cheered for a minute.There were about 30 peo...

I Can't Get Out

Here I am locked in the woods and I can find no escape.No matter which way I turned it's just more woods and leaves and little bunnies jumping around and little mice and owls and deer and bears.I looked up in the trees and once I found a fell kite.I saw a plane roaring by, way up above.I hear cars in the distance , but I can't get to them.Well, I guess I'll just make friends and see if I can eat leaves or something, I don't know what to do.The berries are good and the apples.I find here are fresh.I like walking in the paths until my feet tra...

Running It

I'm running the show. This is me speaking. I've been through a lot of hard times and I've been blamed for everything in my life and if you want to be mad at me because of how my life turned out because it was something that happened. That wasn't even my fault then go ahead if everybody hates me and runs away from me. Because of all the experiences that have shaped me and the things they heard about me that the circumstances I got myself into then go ahead.So at least the planet is somewhat peaceful.I don't know, maybe we should do some peace...

Time to Go!

Submitted to Contest #317

So, as far as I could see, there was no way I would ever reach the island by nightfall. But my Canoe was sturty and steadfast and I paddled along desperately trying to seek my friend. Katie, who had said she was going on an adventure from the coast, the shore, the beach but she did not specify where but she kind of hinted at that she liked and wanted to go to that island before so I thought it was I would give it a try and look around. On if I could make it there in time.The night sun was waiting across the horizon.Flickering red and orange ...

Future 2028

Submitted to Contest #315

As we go along our days, we wonder in the ways in which we've crowned our good for the others to be understood. Having no fear, but knowing we are here for a reason together. Working hard to make it the way we want. And then we look back into the past thinking how we've got through a lot and what we have worked hard to get over and through and around and now we cooperate and have harmony and we are blissful and we want to help each other for the good of humankind.1 day I went to school and my backpack.The books fell out and spewed all over t...

All Go Away, Goodby

So, then there was the day that I made it all go away from one little wand of pixie dust when I waved it. A person would disappear and soon. They were all gone and I was on my own. Ready to discover the world without peace but calm and confident in that I would be able to make it on my own so the first thing I did is jump in a car. Grab somebody's keys and go down to Saks 5th Avenue store and try on all their clothes and take pictures of myself who knows? Maybe everyone will come back to life. And they could tell me how pretty I looked. I pu...

Beyond My Wildest Dreams

Hello, I'm writing to tell you that I have a lot of different things I want to do but never the means to do them. Life happens and I am left here. So now I will go on into dreamland and tell you what I dream as I'm dreaming it. A big purple elephant is floating in the sky like a balloon and my niece is trapped in it saying, let me out. Let me out and I popped the balloon with the needle. But it floats away and dissipates the blue elephant balloon and I catch my niece in my arms and we. All of a sudden, have a big hot air balloon that drops u...

It's Been Real

Submitted to Contest #306

LOL today I bring to you the great illustrious, Pam McGregor.We all clapped and Pam took the stage at the podium. And adjust the microphone. being kind of short. She has to stand on a stool, a step stool. "So I am here today." She cleared her throat. Then a booming voice came out of her to tell everyone, "In my chosen way that these years were very meaningful and I presume. They will be foremost in our memories for the rest of our lives. The friendships we had in high school. I hear reverberate through our lives and hopefully. Our friendship...

The Long Way Home

Submitted to Contest #305

Going right will take me home. But going left would take me down past the old lake where my dad used to sail toy sailboats with me. And then beyond that was more countryside and beyond. That was Kentucky, so this time instead of going home to my wife. I decided to go toward Kentucky and I was headed that way and then I remembered. I forgot to lock my door my garage door and I said, uh oh, but I didn't want to go back for that reason. I didn't want that to stop me. So I kept going and I didn't want anyone to know where I was. I wanted them th...

It's About Time

"What time is it," I asked the first person I saw as I headed out the door. He just looked at his watch and then kept looking; I guess the clock the hands had stopped working. He said, "Oh, I don't know, I really don't know," and then I remembered a song that said, "Does anyone really know what time it is, does anyone really care?", because it's just like a bunch of energy balls with light going around, Spheres and gas giants and the Sun and the Moon and the Earth and we're just going round and round evolving, I mean what else is there but s...
