Crazy Kids
Note: Here I remade the story I focused on yesterday (The Foolish Timid Rabbit). This story was easy to recreate because using real-world experiences of someone being foolish. People say the world is going to ending all the time so maybe the story isn't so far out there.
Story
Luke was tossing and turning and woke up in fear. He was scared that he was not living up to his full potential. The crazy thought crossed his mind that the world could end at any given second.
There was a storm that night. During the storm, a branch fell and hit his window.
Luke panicked.
"It's happening!", he screamed. His worst nightmare was coming true, so he thought.
He turned on all the lights and began running through his house. He woke up Carson in the room next to his.
"What are you doing up at three in the morning?", asked Carson.
"The world is finally coming to an end, we need to get out of here and fast," said Luke.
Carson woke up Mitchell to share the news. The three boys ran downstairs, slammed the door opened, and got into Luke's car as fast as they could.
The door woke up their last roommate, Ty. He was confused and did not know where his roommates went and why they all left the house running at three in the morning.
He saw the door was wide open and that Luke's car was gone. He texted and called all of them until they answered.
"What are you doing!", Ty yelled while on the phone with Mitchell.
"I don't know, Carson woke up me."
Mitchell handed the phone to Carson.
Ty asked Carson the same thing. Carson responded and said that Luke said the world was ending.
Finally, the phone was passed to Luke.
"Why in the world would you think that the world is ending Luke?" asked Ty.
Luke explained the noise he heard and told Ty that he needed to come to save himself.
Ty investigated and saw the branch that fell outside his room.
"Luke! It was just a branch! The world is not ending!" Ty yelled.
The boys returned home and went back to bed.
Luke was grateful that the world wasn't ending, but was embarrassed by his ignorance. If Ty had never called, they would all this be on the road.
Fin.

Hi! I thought this story was well written, and followed closely to the timid rabbit story. While reading I could almost see this exact situation happening with some of my friends, which was funny. I bet after the story Luke's friends never let him live that down. Overall I think you wrote a funny story and I liked it. Good job!
ReplyDeleteHi Ryan! I really enjoyed your re-telling of the original story. It made it a lot more relatable for all the characters to be humans, and I like that they all have names. The dialogue pushed the story forward and helped make it feel more like an experience rather than a re-telling. It was a great idea to keep the same theme with a domino effect from characters; all of them are following one’s misguided fear.
