Morning

There! Look!! Here’s here!
He always has that bag
with him. I wonder
what it is.

Could it be a weapon?
Could they want to
hurt my family?

No! I must stop him!
I shall!

What’s that smell? … OH! It’s bad…
He always smells like that!
I always try to make noise form
my family to hear but …
they never come out
and see.

Afternoon

Look! There’s more people!! It always gets me
angry… why are they with my family.
I try to warn them but all they do is get
closer with the others. I warn them
even more and it just doesn’t work. There he comes …
my dad. He always plays around with me.
He’s the only one I’m scared of and listen to. I know
that if I don’t listen to him I’m gonna get hurt.
But I know its for my own good. He told
me to come here with a playful voice.
I ran over there. I was hoping he would
let me go. “Sit boy, sit!” he said in his weird
Spanish accent. I sat. He took something
heavy off of me. I ran around him like
crazy so we could play. “Good boy,” said my dad.
He gave me a treat while he put the leash on me.
Here we go . . . off to walk.

I walked into the house. That smell…
I know it. The smell of boiled vegetables
with creamy sour-cream and sauce. That mushy
memory.

~Flashback~

-Happy birthday!
-Thanks!
-Why aren’t you happy?
-I just miss dad.
-Don’t worry he’ll be here … eventually.
-Ok I guess

~5 Minutes later~

-Cake time!
-Can’t we wait a little longer?
-I think you’re gonna like this one said my dad
-yay!
We ran to my dad.
He came back… from New York. He was there for about 2 years.
-Well lets go eat some tamales, said my dad.
We sat down and ate tamales together.

~Back to the Present~

I started walking into the living room.
My eyes were getting watery. My mom asked
-what’s wrong?
-Nothing, I said.

I looked out the window.
It wasn’t bright.
There was no
light.

A while later there I saw
a button that said “lights.”
I pressed it. I wasn’t
prepared.

There were so many sea creatures.
Blue and very bright. Even though
I was alone in a submarine I didn’t
complain.

Just the fact that I’m a 12 year
old boy in a submarine without
a mother, no father, nothing,
but fish.

A while later this creature appeared.
It was long and dark and it gave me
fear. But then I noticed it seemed familiar.

The last time it came I named it Kane.

Terrible.

The world is almost over.

The language changed.

There’s no more wifi.

Tables look different.

Snacks are insects,

Insects, snacks.

Because
some refused
to do what I say.

Because
that’s how I
want you to be.

Because
the aliens abducted
some of them and turned them crazy!!

Because
homework ruined them.

Because
the sun and moon are different.

Because
air planes fly.

Because
some colors are bright.

Because
some foods are
delicious and other are nasty.
