"It's ten o'clock, time for bed!" yelled Jack's Dad from the top of the staircase.
"Alright, whatever," Jack mumbled as he ambled up to his room. He did what he normally did every Friday evening, go up to bed, wait for his Father to go to bed, then secretly flipped on the television and turn the volume down so low, he had to lean in to hear it, just incase dad decides to get a "Midnight-Snack". However, tonight was different. Tonight Jack was exhausted. So, he shut off the T.V. and closed his eyes.
"Is he awake? "
"I don't think so, not yet."
"Should we wake him up?"
"No, shhh, I think he's waking up"
A couple moments later Jack slowly creaked open his eyes and saw a blur of what looked like two egg-headed idiots, but as the blur cleared he could easily see two sickly green men with wrinkly, leathery skin, four black buldging eyes and long mouths with excited grins on their faces.
"He's awake."
"I know."
Jack screamed and tried to get off the strange, jell-O feeling bench, but his arms and legs were strapped down with the strange material. He looked up and saw a bright white light, and next to it the two men with what looked like a large drill with a green laser, aiming right between his eyes. Jack couldn't believe it was over, goodbye life, Dad, school, and the new Call of Duty: Black Ops video game that was coming out the next day. No, I must get Black Ops. There is no way these stupid aliens can take away something that valuable to me! Jack broke out the strange chains with so much effort, his body was shaking.
"No, I Must Get Black Ops!" Screamed Jack with rage as he tried to find a way out of the room.
"Jack, wake up, Jack, hello?" said one of the aliens.
And with that Jack opened his eyes from his horrible nightmare and leaped out of bed, relieved that it was all a dream, and more importantly, it was the release date of Call of Duty: Black Ops.
"Come on Jack, get dressed, were going to Gamestop" said his Father, grinning as he started to pull and rip at his own face until revealing he was another one of those ugly aliens.
Jack screamed in horror and realized what the aliens wanted, Call of Duty: Black Ops.
Zach on your piece I have a question for you because I'm confused. Is the dad the alien and if he is then that would make it more clear
ReplyDeleteWhere would his dad get a large drill and the green laser from? It was a very confusing story.
ReplyDeleteYou confused me when you had the dialogue near the top because I dont know who was talking. It had a classic ending, too.
ReplyDeletewow that was pretty funny especially the part then Jack rips metal chains for a video game
ReplyDeletei thought your piece was funny especially the part where Jack breaks the chains for COD:BO
ReplyDeleteThis was kinda funny I guess. The ending was expected.
ReplyDeleteZack this was a funny peace of writing i like the ending about the aliens want Cod:BO
ReplyDeleteTo answer your questions, his dad is an alien. If you read the piece you would know it said "'Come on Jack, get dressed, were going to Gamestop' said his Father, grinning as he started to pull and rip at his own face until revealing he was another one of those ugly aliens." and the aliens with the laser were in the dream, his dad did not have the laser.
ReplyDeletefunny story but could not understand who was talking in the dialogue at the beginning other than that good story.
ReplyDeleteI liked your story, it was funny and creative. But I could not understand it, there was confusion throughout. If you explained somemore, the story would be better.
ReplyDeletewait, im confused. is the dad an alien or something? i know it was a dream but its confusing..
ReplyDeletei don't really understand this...it was very creative but it was really confusing too. So the kid had a dream about aliens. But he wants black ops so he wakes up and his dad's an alien...? That's what i got from the story but it doesn't really make much sense to me. You should try to explain more next time.
