Why Someone would Need to Break into a Gas Station

Why someone would need to break into a Gas Station
By Charles Rachel

Once upon a time, there lived two young boys name Ted and Eric. Ted was sixteen years old, and Eric was eighteen. One night, Ted and Eric decided to go for a ride. So they jumped into the car, and headed down the road. They weren’t sure where they wanted to go, but they needed to get gas first anyway.  As they drove around, they began looking for a gas station that might be open late, but they couldn’t find one. They soon came upon a gas station that was closed however, but there appeared to be something wrong inside. Ted and Eric got out of the car to take a closer look. When they looked through the window, they could see the gas station was being robbed. They quickly tried to open the door so they could try to stop the robbers, and help the lady inside. The door was locked though, and wouldn’t open. So Ted and Eric decided to break into the gas station to rescue the woman instead. The woman was so grateful to the young men, she decided to turn on the gas pumps anyway, and let them put gas in their car. When Ted and Eric got home that night, they told their parents about breaking into the gas station. Their parents were not very happy about this at first. In fact it wasn’t until they red about it in the Newspaper that they truly understood what had taken place. Their sons were indeed heroes. I wouldn’t recommend trying this in real life though.

The Time Traveler

By Charles Rachel

Once upon a time there lived a Scientist, and inventor named Dr. Jim Miller. He had always been fascinated with the idea of traveling through time and space. One day, he decided to invent a time machine that would be able to transport anyone to the past or future, and back to the present at anytime. First however, he needed to find a place to store such a machine. One day while out for a walk, Dr. Miller came upon an old abandoned building that once belonged to a church, and was used to hold recreational activities. He decided to take a closer look at it. As he began walking through the building, he thought this would be the perfect place to build, and keep his time machine. As he began figuring out the materials he needed, he began to get very excited.  Because he realized now, he would be able to help people go back in time, to change something in the past. Or do something they wished they had done, but didn’t do.  He used his time machine to travel many times. Dr. Miller decided however, it might not be such a good idea to try to change the past. It is always best to focus on the future instead.

Letter to a Future History Class about Life Now

Letter to a Future History class about Life Now
By Charles Rachel

Life in the year two thousand twelve is ok. There are no flying cars though. It doesn’t quite look like the future I imagined. There Are no cars that fly like the Jetsons. We do have computers that help make it much easier to manage any important files, documents, or paperwork. The computer also helps us take care of any banking business we need to handle. There are even some robotic machines that assist doctors in the medical field. I don’t know what the future will hold. I might not even be around to see some of it, but that’s what it is like to live life in the year 2012.

A College Student Brings His Friend Home for the Weekend

A College Student Brings his Friend Home for the Weekend
By Charles Rachel

Once upon a time there lived a young college student named Dan. He wanted to be a computer programmer. He was best friends with his room mate John. John was a bit nerdy sometimes. One day Dan decided to invite John to come home with him for the weekend, and John agreed. When they got home, Dan introduced his friend to the family. Later that evening, they all sat down and began eating dinner. While they ate, Dan and John began talking about school. John spoke with a loud voice most of the time. It was just in his nature to do so. Everyone tried to get him to talk a bit softer, because the neighbors would start complaining about the noise. The neighbors were related to Count Dracula, so they slept during the day in coffins. Only coming out at night, Dan’s sister Jane was a bit nerdy too sometimes. It was hard sometimes to keep the noise down, but the family did they could. There were a few complaints by the neighbors, however for the most part everyone lived happily ever after.
