Week 29 – A Character Over to Play

One day, Chris and Joy Quantum and their robot, Gizmo came to visit my Dream Room. First, they wanted to try on the jet packs.  That is, except for Gizmo. He said, “Remember the time when I put on a jet pack and smashed up the lab?”  Chris and Joy managed to get a jet pack on Gizmo, though it took a while and Gizmo screamed a lot. Gizmo tried flying up with his jet pack and he hit his head on the ceiling. 

When they finally got Gizmo down and the Quantums were finished with the jet packs, they went down the chute and put on the bounty hunter armor. They jumped into the hologram and gizmo was shot right away. He pleaded with the robots, “Hey! I’m a robot, too!” Chris said it was better than the Holo-Nine. 

Then, they left the hologram and started playing Wii. Chris shot the other kids before he shot the enemy tanks. The next round, I shot him. Then, their mother called them and said it was time to go. The end. 

Week 29 – Dream Room

Welcome to my room! If you want, you can play Wii on that wall-sized screen over there. Or you can put on one of those jet pack-and-helmet sets and blast out of the skylight.

Then again, you’ll probably like going down that chute over there. That takes you to the space age room where you can put on bounty hunter armor with a shooter on your arm (it’s a laser shooter). Then you can jump into the blue-ish screen and just like that you’ll be on a desert planet in another galaxy, with robots shooting at you and you get to destroy them.  The guns there are like Star Wars laser guns. By the way, this is all holographic so you don’t get hurt.  But still, you should look out for the giant robots with their super R73000 laser guns. 

And while you’re here, you wont’t have any chores to do, I have a robot that does them. 

Some of you might want a boring glass of water.  You’ll have to go downstairs for that.  Here, I have a special drink that gives you super strength and energy – enough to punch the robot into space. But you don’t want to do that –  I tried it once and it took him forever to get back.  But do drink some before going down the chute. You can punch the holographic robots in the game. 

So many fun choices to choose from! Well, what do you want to do in here?

Week 23 – Story Starter

THE LIAR.
By Nathan Stephens


The crowd was silent. They watched the liar be led away to jail! A few minutes ago they had been laughing at that nasty theif.The man (nobody yet knew that he was a theif and a img_7067.jpgliar.)bit the lion’s mane. The children wanted to try that out too!  Meanwhile the Cheif of police was thinking:we haven’t had a case since the circus tiger breakout last summer! Just then the telephone rang “Cheif Lawerence!”came detective Peter’s voice “we are on a very mysterious case!”

The children cried to their parents “THE LION IS A DUMMY!” Little Rachel wrote in diary “i am at thu surckus and theres a dummee and a badgie 2”  Now they locked him up! The next day they saw police officers running by shouting things like:”he’s getting away!”or”can you go around that house to corner him?”They headed toward the ravine! The only way across was a narrow rope bridge on witch the liar slipped and fell.As he fell a man knocked a few boulders down witch knocked him out.

Week 21 – Garage Discovery

I dedicate this story to Dad, for the stories he tells.

Once there was a good and adventurous teen who was bored.He went to the garage of the old, deserted house of Redbeard the pirate. He found a secret door to a spooky room with a twisted stair. He ran forward to explore. All of a sudden the floor separated under his feet and he found himself in a dungeon with the bugs and the rats. He was a black belt in karate so he kicked out the barred window and jumped out. He ran under a table, through a window and toward a cliff with a ledge on the other side. He saw a rope by witch he could swing across the space. He began to think, was it safe? He ran forward and began to swing but it pulled down a staircase and he wondered, where should he go. The cliff or up the staircase ? He decided to go up the stairs. He got to the top of the staircase and found a room filled with gold, gold coins and bricks, gold rods and staffs even gold swords and spears ! When he finally finished stuffing his pockets with gold coins and grabbed a gold sword and shield, one question remained: how would he get back to the garage? He had fallen in! He ran back to the dungeon when all of a sudden he had an idea. He ran back to the staircase and used the sword to cut off the rope and ran back to the dungeon with it. Using the rope as a lasso he got it caught on the door knob. He climbed the rope and ran out the door to his own house.
