STORY STARTER
Submitted by Ryan
You accidentally stumbled through a wormhole that led you to another dimension... but you didn't even realise until things started getting very strange.
Begin this sci-fi story in a world that seems familiar, but gradually becomes less and less normal.
5 Legged Dogs
Summer break is supposed to be a holiday to have fun, but my brain takes it as time to turn off. I am not joking. I am sitting here thinking itās a Tuesday when itās actually Thursday. My mom says itās completely normal, but that doesnāt mean she is going to let me sit around in a trance. Thatās why I am sitting here about to go to 6th grade, but I am doing polynomials as homework. Even though I donāt know how to do polynomialsā¦
I donāt know how I am getting through this stuff cause I am not a nerd. Like I am a straight Bās student. I got an 85 on fractions last year, so how did I get a 95 on polynomials? Welp, who cares?Honestly, my mom acted like it was complicated normal, last year she would have taken me out for ice cream, or doubled my allowance for a week, but now itās like if I got a B she would have cut my allowance for the week. Like, AHEM???
(Friday) Ugh my dog is walking soooooo slow he canāt figure out how to use his 5th leg. I was trying to make it to the dog park, but at this rate weāll never get there. Finally I see the āFloating Poodleā which signifies that the dog park is about to arrive. When we get there, I see a bunch of dogs, all of which are struggling to do normal tasks, ācause of their 5th leg. Wait a second⦠Donāt dogs have 4 legs???
(Saturday) You know what Iāve noticed? No? Okay Iāll just tell you. The older art is, the more intricate and hard to create it is. Like art nowadays could be a scribble made by a baby who poops in diapers, and canāt say the word art. The reason I have noticed this is because I took my parents to the local art gallery. My parents are now bored and start begging me to go buy them ice cream from the store across the street. I give in to their whining when my dad gets down and starts banging his fists on the floor, ācause I donāt want to make a scene. Now they are intently licking their mango and chocolate dollies. ( The ice cream kind, not the doll kind) Now Iām craving some ice cream too. Wait arenāt my parents supposed to get me some ice creamā¦
(Sunday) Ok this is starting to get out of hand my dadās boss is telling me that I am not fit to work this job unless I can finish this project by the end of this week. Like of course Iām not fit for this job, Iām legit an 11 year old kid. Like duh. Itās like Iāve stumbled into a wormhole that led me to another dimension.(The gods of science start laughing nervously) I am stumbling into the car when I realize Iām in the front seat. Then I realize Iāve got to drive the car. My foot can barely reach the accelerator.(Iām not a very tall 11 year old) I scoot down so that I can reach, then I reverse out of the parking lot. Iām driving home when I realize that Iām craving coffee, so I pull in the driveway of a gas station to grab a quick coffee.
When I get home my dad comes to me and asks me to make him some instant mac and cheese. Ughhhhh Iām so tired, so I ignore him and sink into the couch. I wonder if Iāll ever stumble out of this dimension and back into my own. Thatās when I hear my mom yell, āNOAH, WAKE UP YOU HAVE BEEN SLEEPING FOR 17 HOURS!ā
