The Creature in the Cave

As Rabk and Beowulf went down the Yellow Brick Road, they entered a forest. The leaves and debris from the countless trees covered parts of the road and the two travellers would have to sweep up some of it to see where they were going. At one point, the brick road went very close to a solid rock cliff, and soon they went into a tunnel in the cliff, itself. Beowulf and Rabk looked into the tunnel suspiciously. "So we need to go into this tunnel to get to the Library?" asked Rabk. "Apparently so." responded Beowulf. "But an adventure never stopped a fictional character before! C'mon!" Beowulf walked in cheerfully, followed closely by Rabk. Beowulf pulled some out of his bag for them both. As they went father in, the cave got dirtier, wetter, and had more cobwebs. After about an hour of walking, they came to a fork in the road. "Which way do we go?" asked Rabk. Beowulf shrugged. He bent down and brushed the layers of dirt off of the floor. Both paths had yellow bricks leading into them. He got up and looked at the sediment on his hands. "We need a sign..." he said religiously. Beowulf held the hand with the dirt on his fingers into the air and closed his eyes. Rabk stared at him in annoyance. After five minutes, nothing happened. Beowulf opened his eyes and looked around for Rabk, who was sitting on the floor next to him. "Are you done yet? 'Cause we have to go sometime." "No!" snapped Beowulf. "We need a sign." As he said this a breeze came into the cave and blew the dirt off of Beowulf's hand into the tunnel on the left. "The spirits have spoken!" shouted Beowulf happily. "We go left!" Rabk got up and they headed down the left tunnel. After walking into the tunnel a couple yards, a roar came from farther down the tunnel, stopping the two travellers in their tracks. After a moment, Beowulf shouted. "The spirits have spoken!" he said once again. "We go right." Rabk nodded quickly and they hurried down the path. As they walked down their new path, they found cobwebs large enough to capture a bird. Soon they were large enough to capture a full grown elephant. Even farther down the tunnel, they found webs large enough to capture a Rana catesbeiana! They now crept slowly through the cave. Then a large object jumped out from behind a web. The two travellers pulled out their swords. It was a giant spider with fangs as big as small elephant seals. as it attacked, Rabk and Beowulf tried to fight back. As Rabk swung for the beast, but his sword got caught in a web that was hanging above him. Beowulf jumped on the spider and started jabbing it in the back. The spider wobbled for a while, then slammed Beowulf against the wall. As Beowulf fell, he turned to land on his feet, and with his sword still in hand, he attacked the spider again. It shot out a string of web and pulled the sword from Beowulf. "Impressive." said Beowulf. Rabk yelled at him as he ran away from the beast. As he fled, the beast caught up with him and put his leg on Rabk's stomach. The spider had another leg firmly around Beowulf. The spider's teeth lunged for Rabk.

The Author on Vacation

Once upon a time, there was a man who wanted to write a book, so he took some time off from his job so he could write his book.He tried to write his book, but he kept on going on all the online social networks. For three weeks, this man just went on social networks. On the last day of his vacation from work, he realized that he had barely started working on his book, so for the whole day, he worked furiously on his book, zooming through every subject. Although he zoomed through each topic, he was a very fast writer, so each topic was about five chapters long. After all 24 tiring hours of that last day, the man finally finished his book and rested. Then he realized that he still had to work that day. He tried to work, but he kept on falling asleep. He then decided get some coffee. After drinking 22.5 cups of coffee, the man did all the work he needed to do for that day. After he finished that work, he crashed. After a week of drinking coffee, working, and crashing, he realized that he hadn't published his book, so he did, and he made a fortune off of the royalties and never had to work again in his life.

A President's Day Story

The Era of the Presidents of Gindoris

There was once a land known as Gindoris. At one time, Gindoris was a great Empire, ruled by an Emperor, but the differences between many of the people were too great, and the country split into 27 individual city-states. The people within these city states couldn't decide on names, so they name each other after letters in the alphabet. The A-tribe was the most populated city-state, and the Z-tribe was the least populated city-state. The A1 city-state was the only one not named after just a letter. For some reason, the other tribes gave it this name for its people's love of raising cows. The tribes were separated for so long, that all the good things that the Empire had given to the people had disappeared. A radical group of scholars wanted to reunite the tribes so that they might regain the greatness that the Empire had, but because none of the tribes could agree on who would lead them, the scholars proposed the creation of a democracy, run by presidents. All the tribes saw this as fair, so the democracy was begun, with a great president at their head. The president restored the greatness of the tribes and everybody was happy with him. Although the first few presidents were good, the presidents started becoming corrupt, and only candidates from the old A-tribe were getting elected. These A-tribe presidents would always give A_Tribe the best of everything. The other tribes became jealous and war broke out. Eventually, the A-Tribe was kicked out of the democracy, and everybody was happy and the democracy lived on forever. The A-tribe became a small, weak country known as Alabarkit, and the A1-tribe was renamed to the A-tribe. And everybody (except the A-tribe) lived happily ever after.

The Hidden Kingdom

"Wait, wait, wait." said Rabk, laughing. "This is Atlantis?" The large man on the throne looked at them humorously. "Do you expect us to believe that you two just happened to stumble upon the hidden kingdom of Atlantis?" he asked. "Basically, yes." said Beowulf. The smile disappeared from the man's face. "Then how, might I ask, did you know the password?" Beowulf and Rabk looked at each other, confused. Beowulf looked back at the man on the throne and said "Password?" "Yes! The password!" said the man, now angry. "The password, 'Genetically-modified Turtle'! how did you know it." Once again, Beowulf and Rabk looked back at each other, this time in surprise. Both of the two broke out in laughter. The throne man raised an eyebrow at the two of them. "I find nothing humorous about the situation at hand." "You see, sir," said Beowulf in between chuckles. "We were on a small boat, starving, and I said that I was hungry enough to eat a genetically modified turtle." He then went on laughing. The man on the throne even made a little smile. "Well, you are welcome here in Atlantis. I am the King, Lirotnim, Prime minister of Atlantis, and this is the council of fishmen." "Thank you, sir," replied Rabk, "I am Rabk, and this is Beowulf." "It is a pleasure to meet you both. You must be starving, as you said. May I recommend the Sleepy Tuna Cafe. If you mention my name, you can get a free meal. You should try the swordfish kabobs. They're quite good. Burt, here, will take you there." "Thank you sir." said Beowulf. After the two had eaten , they wandered around the great stone city. The soon found a abstract-looking house with a colorfully painted sign that read 'The House of Oddities'. "What's in there?" Rabk asked, pointing. Burt glanced over. "Oh, that's the House of Oddities, where we put all the strange creatures we find in the water." "Lets go!" yelled Beowulf excitedly. As Burt had said, the many exhibits in the museum were of strange sea creatures, making the place look like a large aquarium freak show. In one small tank was a clown fish asking for its dad. "That fish will never stop talking about its dad." Burt muttered to himself. The next exhibit was of a large, angry, dinosaur-like creature. "What is that?" asked Beowulf. "That's the thing that I think is known as the Loch Ness Monster." said Beowulf, uncomfortably. "Can we go now? The last time someone stared at that fish for too long, it broke out of its tank and ate that person." Beowulf and Rabk moved quickly to the next exhibit. They stared at it for about five minutes before Rabk asked "What is that?" The thing in the exhibit looked offended. "What am I?" it asked. "I am the only superhero with my own submarine! The superhero that can talk to fish! And the superhero who can breathe underwater! Any of those traits ring a bell?" The three people looked around at each other and shook their heads. The dismayed exhibit sighed and said "Oh, well. IT was worth a shot." After seeing this exhibit, the three decided that they had seen enough oddness for one day and the travellers decided to go to land. Beowulf brought them to the closest city in Atlantis to the continent that they were headed. He pointed their way out and said "All you need to do is follow the Yellow Brick Road." The two thanked Burt and went on their way. Rabk had to avoid sing and skipping as he went down the road.

A Story I Just Wrote

4 Whales Fishing

There was a time when four whales roamed the oceans. Disliked by all the other whales, these whales roamed alone by themselves. One day, they reached the coast of an island. On the coast, they found an otter. The otter had never seen any whales before, so he came close to the whales to get a better look. The whales had no idea what the otter was, so they grabbed it and made a small cage to put it in. When they did this, the otter started crying. The whales asked the otter why he was crying, and the otter replied that he missed his home, so the whales set him free and let him go back to land to go home. The whales started to think. If the otter was so desperate to get home, then he must miss it a lot. The whales had been kicked out of there home, but they didn't miss it at all. The four whales wondered why they didn't miss their home, but the otter did. Then the smartest whale of the four (who wasn't very smart at all) had an idea. The only difference between the homes of the otter and the whales was that one was on land and the other was in the ocean, so the whales concluded that homes on land are much better than homes in the ocean. At once, the whales hopped out of the ocean and made their own home on land, and soon, they had many friends. All their friends were humans who all were wearing flowery shirts and almost all of them had a small, flashing electronic object which they pointed at the whales. With all these friends, the whales decided that they needed hobbies, like their friends. One of their friends was a fisherman, so the whales decided to take up fishing. They would jump in the water, grab random fish, build the fish tanks, and bring the fish back on land. Soon, the whales had the largest aquarium owned by marine mammals. Unfortunately, when the whales went fishing one day, they hopped into the water and went into a school of sardines. The sardines got sucked into the whales' blow holes, and all the whales drown.
