I did it!!!!
[...]
Like I said, trouble was afoot, and it didn’t take long to find out whose foot it would be. The excess weight of my robotic arm caused some problems. The first of many problems was when I stood up on a rock to look out into the distance. The rock [...]
We went and got Alabaster and told him about the collapse. He looked worried for a little bit but he went and got a long rope and we lowered it down into the crevice. We saved Weasel but we couldn’t the bottom of the chasm well enough so we had [...]
After I had explained to Dave all of the amazing things Plittereeg could do, I headed out, followed by an amazed Dave, to check on the progress of our buggy. It was nearly finished, and as luck would have it, they had discovered the key ingredient. They were going [...]
Not the arm as in the arm from the last chapter, no. I mean the robotic arm attached to my body. As we discovered soon after Dave and I arrived at the great flying pickle jar, my arm’s functions were limited.
The more cool stuff consisted of a large static shock, [...]
I waited for an hour or two to see if #476248 would come back out. It didn’t, and eventually I was called in. I was completely freaked out by the tremendous metal machinery. Suddenly, an ominous humming started. It got louder and louder until . . . POW. I was [...]
As I took a seat in the waiting room with lots of other creatures, I attempted to make conversation with one of them. It was around six feet tall and looked like a human except for the fact that it had three black beady eyes rather than the customary two [...]
When I awoke, Kaptain Kronk was still babbling on about his favorite childhood pet. There appears to be no stopping him. I guess this is how he tortured his captives, by pelting them aimlessly with an endless hail of words. He slithered, crackled, fuzzed, and popped over to my seeds [...]
I swished around inside my glass tube, my eyes darting back and forth from Dave and a hulking shadow steadily approaching me. A creature emerged from the darkness. The humongous creature looked like a deformed octopus with three eyes and more tentacles than I could count. Its mottled raspberry skin [...]
Two things happened after I woke up that morning. The first thing was the lights went on with a blinding flash. The second thing was that when I went into the control room to look for Alabaster, I found that all of the ejection seats had been activated.
I told [...]
Unfortunately, Weasel thought we were actually in a giant flying pickle jar and spent the rest of the afternoon trying to figure out where the pickles were kept. Fortunately, he did eventually find a rusted shut jar of dill pickles, but unfortunately he spent the rest of the evening trying [...]
“This,” proclaimed Dave, “is the great flying pickle jar!”
“And my friends are inside of it?” I asked suspiciously.
“I think so,” said Dave.
“Well, okay then, let’s go inside- Wait a minute- did you say ‘the great flying pickle jar’?”
“Yes indeed,” gushed Dave. “I came up with it myself.”
“Oooookay,” I responded [...]
“Dave?”
“Yes.”
“Why Dave?” I asked confused.
“Well, because…I’m named Dave.”
“So, how did you get here, Dave?”
“I walked here.”
“Walked to this planet?”
“No, walked to this cave. I got to this planet by means of an escape pod.”
“So did we.”
“Anyway, did you see a group of a white lion, a four armed weasel and [...]
We clambered back down the tooth and out of the zoo and followed the deafening bellow. As we were running into the back area of the cave, where the bellow had come from, I heard Weasel murmuring something like, “’bout time I came back to this part of the cave.” [...]
“Are you a weasel?” I asked inquisitively.
“No,” again with a thick Irish accent.
“Then if you’re not a weasel, but your name is Weasel, what are you?”
“A waysel.”
“A weasel?”
“No, a waysel.”
“A waysel?”
“Aye.”
“So, you’re a waysel named Weasel?”
“Aye.”
“You’re an Irish waysel named Weasel?”
“Aye.”
“Then if you’re from Ireland, how did you get here?”
“Where’s [...]
When we arrived in the home of the little green creature, we noticed one major difference from houses on Earth: the furniture was built into the floors and walls and couldn’t be moved.
“My name is Plittereeg. Welcome to my home,” said the little green creature. Plittereeg led us to [...]
As we trudged along the desolate planet surface, we didn’t see any signs of life. We walked along the barren rocky desert for hours on end before we found a cave where we slept for the night.
When I woke up, very strangely, to something patting my head. When I [...]
When I woke up the Alabaster Lion was already wide awake and fiddling with the controls.
“Good morning,” he murmured. I checked my watch. It was 9:30 am. “We’re about to land,” said the lion.
“You don’t seem all that excited about it.”
“That’s because we’re not landing where I expected. I [...]
We kept climbing up the ladder until we made it out. Lion waited five minutes for voices then signaled that the coast was clear. We walked outside the ring of gears and I took off my goggles.
I followed the lion through dozens of narrow passageways and secret hatches until we [...]
That was what the ductopi had said. Why hadn’t I remembered that? I might have been able to escape if I had remembered that. I slowly backed up against the wall trying not to make any sudden movements. In vain, I came up with the idea that I might be [...]
The next couple of hours after the Military Exus Leader had left, I explored the room I had been left in. On the far end of the room where the domed window ended there was a control board, a pilot’s seat and a joystick. On the other end of the [...]
“What’s a Military Exus Leader?” I asked.
“The equivalent of a ‘president’ on your planet,” his voice sunk lower when he said “president”. “In any case, I lead my soldiers into battle.”
“What the @$% are you?” I shouted.
“Calm down,” said one of the ductopi lined up on the left wall. One [...]
Once I could look around the room clearly, the first thing I saw was a huge metal grate which I assumed at that point was an air conditioning vent and was the cause of all the cold air. The second thing I saw was a sci-fi style sliding door, like [...]
Ducks.
Yes, ducks. I don’t mean “duck,” like, “duck down,” I mean ducks like the waterfowl. This story started with ducks.
It all happened a couple of months ago at the park pond. My name is Drake. Ironic, yes? (for the uninformed, Drake is a male duck).
Anyway, it was around the time [...]
Disney bought Marvel, and we’re concerned.
What if they make a new movie, Charles Wall-e and Generation Exium?
What if I get an issue of my Spiderman Comic that says, “Peter is on his way away from Flash Thompson when he falls into a manhole and meets a [...]
I feel free.
I am no longer
held by the
Shining bars of
Sunlight.
Shine, Gleam, Shine,

Soft Pattering Kisses.
Kiss, Patter, Kiss.
In the Rain,
I Feel Free.
[...]The Kuril Islands are part of the Ring of Fire- an area where earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur in the basin of the Pacific Ocean.
About 90% of the world’s earthquakes, and 80% of the world’s largest earthquakes happen in the ring of fire.
The Kuril Islands connect Japan [...]
Today we’re looking up the Laptev Sea. The Laptev Sea is a marginal sea which means it is partially enclosed by land- like arcs of islands that branch off from the mainland. You can think of it as sort of a vase shape that’s wide at the base, [...]
Saint-Louis is in Senegal, Africa. Senegal is a country in the far west of Africa. Africa is sort of a bean shape, and Senegal is directly in one end of the bean. It’s about 500 kilometers southwest of the Sahara in my estimation.
Rising sea levels are a threat to [...]
That’s it. Now nanowrimo is done for this year.
But don’t think I’m going to stop just yet. I can’t just leave my book ending on a cliff-hanger like that, so this is my last chapter of my second book.
After starting their race, Kryptl realized this wasn’t any ordinary race. Baron [...]
Baron Freeze couldn’t believe it.
He felt like he was five years old. He had been asked by his son to come and watch over his grandson. He was going to spend the holiday going on with his devious scheme, little did he know, this wasn’t a coincidence. His son had [...]
Baron Freeze was very confused. He had just had a dream in which he was on a world and reality quakes never stopped on that world, and so everyone on the sidewalk was walking and slithering and jumping and skitterring almost all at the same time, and he was just [...]
After meddling around for a while with his new and improved creatures, Baron Freeze went off to his new special office and laboratory. He dressed up differently and on the door of his laboratory and office it said, “Professor Freeze, inventions made to order.”
Inside, Professor Freeze was working on something [...]
It took a little while for the serum to develop in the air so it was going to be a while before the universe started getting destroyed.
Barron Freeze went back to the Time Traveler’s building to tell him all the “good deeds” he did. When he got there, a short [...]
AFter climbing back through the hole in the bed and pushing Barron Stupid off of his bed, Barron Small climbed out and waited six hours. Then, Barron Small ran as fast as he could through the space yacht, unzipped the universe door and used his teeny weeny rocket boot to [...]
While Baron Freeze and all the other villains were dancing on their disco floor, most of their evil pets and robots started dancing, too. And then their evil pets and robots started throwing them up in the air and slamming them down on the ground and all sorts of crazy [...]
Barron Freeze sat down in a large grand chair and thought desperately about what the other ingredients to the formula could be- and then he came up with a last resort idea: to look in the years and years old ashes of his father’s laboratory fire place.
He used the [...]
Around a week later, Barron Freeze returned to his underground laboratory. He took more blizzard serum, more black hole serum and more plasma serum and merged them together with his original mix. He zapped him his life-giving formula and the monster’s dead rock to his least favorite area: the cloudy [...]
Because Barron Freeze had eaten some of the white hole formula, he wasn’t affected by anything the black hole serum did. He pulled all the clocks out and time restarted. He doused the clocks in white hole serum and put them back up on the walls, and then he pulled [...]
Barron Freeze had a small problem on his hands. A small problem, nothing more than that, but still, a problem. After experimenting quite a bit with his black hole serum, he had to build a reservoir to fit all of it. It was starting to swallow up the reservoir and [...]
After zooming around the whole of Solariun, Barron Freeze returned to his castle and lifted up the carpet in the main hall, opened up a secret trap door and went down, down, down for about three miles. He went into an extremely large cave with tunnels that went all over [...]
After a bit of planning, the Time Traveler decided to make Professor Frankinsteen his vice president. The professor gladly accepted and started making some sort of presidential device. He zapped it and suddenly a huge banner appeared across the front of the Pole Scraper and it said, “Everyone Welcome the [...]
It was June 14th, the day of the presidential tournament. The winner would become the new president of Pole City. The Time Traveler decided to enter because he thought it would be neat to decide if he wanted to add on things to the Pole Scraper or not. He only [...]
After returning to the Ruby City, the Time Traveler saw a small building floating on anti-gravity. It said, “Professor Frankinsteen’s Laboratory” on it. He went in and Professor Frankinsteen, a man about one and a half feet tall with a moustache that curled around his feet and no shoes. He [...]
Title of my story: The Time Traveler II (the sequel)
Where we left off, the Time Traveler was running through the jungle being chased by strange orange liquid creatures.
He had to quickly get his scepter. Running through the wood he pulled a small stick from his pocket and pulled on it [...]
We’re so close to my brother’s favorite holiday ( in case you didn’t know … its Halloween ). My club is having a flame contest and the winner gets a flame trophy,ten dollars,M&Ms and Three Musketeers Bar.I’m kinda at loss here so I’m going to have to wrap it up [...]
He landed in the middle of the snowy wasteland. He arose and said, “Ah, here I am in the middle of the snowy wasteland.” He immediately flew up in the air and flew straight down into the ground where it was warmer on Dementia ten.
He keeps going down and is [...]
Dementia 6’s distant future:
When The Traveler had finished his job at dementia 6 he went to the distant future of dementia six to help the yeti creatures. He took the form of Electrode, the famed electro-powered superhero who’s best friend is Zauriel, one of Earth’s [...]
The race of creatures in dementia six were like overgrown giant flower creatures. They were vegetarian, but they didn’t eat any of the plants there, they just ate air, basically. Air and water. There were some who also ate themselves just because they were vegetarian.
There was a race of [...]
Our Second Day of Nanowrimo and Carter:
When he was ten years old he wasn’t a Time Traveler. When he was ten years old, he liked to talk on the phone and play with Model Trains.
He doesn’t have a best friend. He just gets new best friends [...]
Our November homeschooling activites include Astronomy and the Nanowrimo Young Author’s Program. Using writing prompts from their Elementary level character worksheets, we jumped in this morning. I proudly present Carter’s Great American Novel:
What is your character?
