A Billion Years on a baseball field

| 3 Comments

Ms. Dickson (My language arts teacher) told us to write a children's story that we could put on a power point slide show. I made several different characters for different stories when I was finally satisfied with one i had a dream that Claire and I were fighting a whole bunch. We won a free vacation to a deserted island. This nice lady who turns out to be a witch is the only one there to greet our family. They had this nice little cottage with a pool. Every day we would play on the baseball field. The witch saw how much claire and I would fight and she casts a spell so we would be trapped in there until there was a flood. Nobody would get any older until we were able to leave though. We had a magical suitcase though that would make food and drink pop out. People started building houses on the island and big buildings that were deserted a few thousand years after they were built. During the billions of years we were on he field we made friends with these HUGE birds. They could not fly us out though (trust me, Claire and I tried every possible way to get out. We had a lot of time. Finally, a billion years later Claire and I became good friends. Then it began to rain and our giant bird pets flew us all the way to Georgia. I do not want to say how everyone had changed, because a lot of them were rich snobs and I do not want to offend anybody. Someday i will put the story that I changed for school.

Note: Claire and Kelly have spent much time playing at baseball fields through their lives. They are very good at finding fun in foul territory. The dream also sounds like a Sims City game gone... foul.

If you were on that island for a billion years wouldn't the world have changed a lot when you finally got off the island? Wouldn't everyone you knew be dead? You could try reading The Time Machine by H.G. Wells. In that he builds a time machine but as he is travelling through time he can see around him and see all the changes speeded up. When you talk about all the buildings coming up and then being abandoned it reminded me of that.

I don't know about witches, but I wouldn't mind having one of those suitcases.
