Real Life Series of Unfortunate Events

Weekly Contest #53

“Uh, is this our cottage for the weekend?” Thomas asked nervously. “Yes it is! Isn’t it great?” his mom replied. Thomas would not use the word great. More like eerie. The cottage looked like it hasn’t been lived in for at least 100 years. It is a pretty small cottage Thomas’s parents bought really cheap. The owner bought a new cottage, so his parents bought it up.  The cottage was tan, with a gray roof. It had moss all over the walls, and the roof leaks. There were 2 bedrooms, with a bathroom inside of each one. The lighting was really...

Jack and Jerry

Weekly Contest #53

“Uh!!!! It is so hot!!!” complained Jerry. “I know, right!?!” Jack replied. “What are we going to do about this heat wave?!?!” “What can we do?” Jerry groaned.  Just a quick introduction. Jack and Jerry are twins. Most twins fight a lot, right? Not Jack and Jerry. They are the best of best friends. Of course they have other friends, but they will not do anything without each other. They rarely fight, and even when they do, it doesn’t last long. Today is an especially hot summer day, and they are in the basement with only a fan to cool ...

Friends

“Do you think I look fat in this shirt?” Lola asked me. “No, but your popsicle is melting all over it,” I replied. She looked down at her shirt, and shouted a lot of good words. “Shhhh!” I said. “You don’t want my parents to hear you say that!” She laughed. “You are such a goody-two-shoes!” She said. Uh! Even though she is my best friend, she is so annoying sometimes!! Lola and I have been friends for about 4 years now. Whenever I first moved here, I was very, very shy, so I didn’t have any friends.  Then one day, Lola just walked up t...

Unusual Love

Weekly Contest #53

Jack is in love. No, no! Not the usual kind! He is in love with something different. Something unusual. He is in love with his video games. A few years ago, Jack was just a normal kid, until he got his first whiff of video games. At first, his parents limited his time to 1 hour a day, but after his parents got older they didn’t care anymore. The first few months, Jack stuck with the 1 hour plan,  but soon, he caught the deadly virus called Just A Minute More.  Then, came the deadly Covid 19. The president ordered people to stay h...

Uncontrollable Transformation

Weekly Contest #52

Today is a huge day. Do you know what day it is? It is the day before my wedding!!! I am getting married to Jack. He is the nicest guy, and he loves to help people. He is very hilarious, and very caring. The only downside? He is very unsanitary. He likes to pick his nose, scratch his butt, and he doesn’t wash his hands. Like ever. I have to keep reminding him and reminding him.  I really shouldn’t be talking about him, because I also have a very bad weakness. I transform into a gorilla when I am angry. I know! Why would Jack want to ma...

Just Pure Luck

Weekly Contest #52

WHOOOSH!! The wind blew closer and closer to the supermarket where I was at. I was hunkered down in the cash register area. Well, that is what I get for not looking at the news. I also should have noticed something was wrong when I didn’t see anyone at the supermarket. Even the cashiers left an hour early before their shift ends! The storm got closer and closer.  It was the worst blizzard the world has ever seen. Everyone has evacuated to Boston. Only I was left behind. I finally had money for food, so I went to the grocery store. No o...

A lifelike dream

Weekly Contest #52

“Now where is that boy?!” one of the guards asked. Who are they trying to find? Me. Jack. Why are they trying to find me? Well, in 2343, a dude discovered a large amount of gold buried beneath the moon's surface. Now, every year, one boy will be sent to the moon to help in the harvesting of gold. That doesn’t sound too tough, right? The problem is, we also discovered aliens called Kronons.  They were extremely dangerous beings, too. They all have a poisonous barb on their heads, as well as super thick skin that only an explosive weapon...

Like an Unshakable Mosquito

Weekly Contest #52

I stared in terror. “W-what are y-you doing here?” I stammered. He chuckled. “Fancy seeing you here, Jack.” Who is he, you ask? He is the ancient lord, Kliviere. The problem? He was supposed to be dead!!! I saw him die with my own eyes!! Actually, I was the one that killed him!!! A few years ago, Kliviere was the strongest person ever. He had acquired all six of the Paladin Crystals. What are the Paladin Crystals? They are crystals that grant you powers. The first one gave you super strength. The second one gave you the ability to fly. The ...

Watch and Learn!!

Weekly Contest #52

"Michael!" My mother said. “Why are the FBI at our door?” I gulped. I don’t think I did anything wrong. Why are they here? I admit, I am a troublemaker, but I don’t break laws. I slowly shuffled up to the door. Huh. That is weird. How come the two guards are wearing gray? Aren’t the FBI supposed to wear black? Suddenly, they grabbed me by my arms and handcuffed me. “Come with us,” they said. “You know what you did.” I actually have no clue, but I stared at their guns and kept my mouth shut.  No matter how much my mom cried and begged, ...

Accepting Fate

Weekly Contest #51

It is like Callie is still here. Even though she is not. And it is my fault. All my fault. I haven’t gone out in months. My hair is messy, my clothes are dirty, and I stink of B.O. I don’t care. I haven’t moved any of Callie’s stuff. It hurts even to look at her things. Whenever I do, I start having flashbacks……. 3 months earlier My girlfriend and I were walking to the park. Her name is Callie, and in my opinion, she is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. We were going to the lake with Jason and Carrie. Carrie is Callie’s twin. ...

Agent Q

Weekly Contest #51

I looked around. Perfect. No one has arrived yet. Suddenly, people started pouring in. Within seconds, nothing but dead bodies lay on the ground. Who am I? It is not important. I walk out of the building, chuckling to myself. Those losers actually think they had a chance? Ha! I go by the code name Q. That is all you have to know. What was I doing there? You see, I am a secret agent for the well-known society, TGB. They specialize in killing the clan called the Cloaks. As you can probably tell by the name, they wear cloaks to hide their ident...

Summer in the Treehouse

One sunny summer afternoon, Fred and Paul were in their treehouse. You might think they are just another pair of buttheads having nothing to do, but that is where you are wrong.

The package

Shelly was waiting for an important delivery. She was in a dark alley, where most people do not even know is  there. While she is waiting, she sees a man walking down the alley as well. She thinks it is kind of strange, because like I said, most people do not know about this spot. She decided to investigate. She pretended to be a friendly stranger, and started asking him questions. From the questions she asked him, she learned that his name was Tom, was 25 years old, and was also waiting for an important delivery. The more she talked t...

The brawlout

Weekly Contest #49

Thomas was waiting in the waiting room, trying out for the job of bodyguard. He waited nervously as the boss came into the room. “You did not get the job,” he said. Thomas was a little disappointed, but he knew there were other jobs. Just when he was about to leave, the boss said “Who said you could leave? You are too powerful to become my enemy, so I will have to eliminate you now.” He then whistled, and ten burly men came into the room. They were buff, but Thomas was more buff. He dropped them like flies. “Just what I expected from a top t...
