Rabk -Part 14

Rabk
Part 14
The Library

Burt jumped back and let out a yelp. "Aah!" he exclaimed, "Why is that thing not falling on us?" Beowulf pointed. "look for yourself. With all the books, the Library had to be very tall, and it became so tall, that it leaned over and the top of it is resting on the ground somewhere else, balancing the middle right on top of us." Rabk turned to thank the giant turtles that had helped them, but when he turned, they were not there. Rabk looked around for a moment, then shrugged and turned towards where the entrance of the Library should have been. "Let's get going," he said to the others, so off they went, walking off to the Library. When they got to the end of the Library, they found that they had gone to the wrong side of it, and that they were at the ceiling instead of the base. The ceiling had made a little crater where it had landed, but nobody in the city seemed to care. When the travelers made it to the other side of the Library, the went into the Library and found and extremely old man sitting at a desk. Beowulf went up to him, "Where can we find the Librarian?" he asked. The old man leaned back, startled, "Can I help you?" he said. "Yes, can you tell us where the librarian is?" "Would you like some tea?" "No, where is the Librarian?" "Oh! The Librarian!" said the old man with a chuckle, "She's on floor 433. You can take the elevator, but mind you, its rather fast." After thanking the man, the three travelers hopped into the elevator and went up, and the old man was right, the elevator was exceedingly fast. After the elevator reached floor 212, the elevator mad a turn, and was going sideways, making the three of them fall onto the door of the elevator. Before the three could get up, the elevator came to a sudden stop, and the doors opened beneath them. The three of them looked down at what they would fall on for a second, and then they fell onto a heap of books. Upon looking around them, they found mountains of books piled up as well as overturned book shelves. Near one edge of the room, there were books flying into one of the piles. The three climbed over there and found an old lady, digging up books. Burt cleared his throat, and the old lady looked up. "Oh!" she said as she stuck her shovel into the books and leaned on it. "How can I help you, boys?" Beowulf stepped forward. "Well, you see, this man here," he said pointing to Rabk, "he came through from the real world and is trying to get back." The old lady stepped back in surprise. "The real world?" She walked forward and shook Rabk's hand firmly. "Fascinating! Pleased to meet you! And your name is..." "Rabk, ma'am" The lady pulled out a huge library catalog. "Rabk... Rabk..." she said as she flipped through it, " Robinson Crusoe... Robin Hood... Remy... Ah! Rabk! Oh." She looked up at Rabk. "I'm sorry, Rabk, but you can't see your book. It's not done yet." "I don't care about seeing it, lady." Rabk said angrily. "I want to know how I can get back." "Get back?" she asked "To the real world?" Rabk nodded. "Oh there's no way to do that.

Strange Dream

The Giant Blue Man, the Fat Bald Man, and I

Last night, I had one of the strangest dreams that I have ever had. In my dream, I was in my house with my dad, a lady, a fat, bald man, and a man with a mustache. We were all sitting down, but suddenly we all stood up and went to look out the window. Outside, there stood a giant man with a gas mask and a bright blue suit. This man was at least a hundred feet tall. I went outside and looked at the man closer. After looking at him, I tripped and tried running back inside. The giant then turned towards my house, and I knew he was going to destroy the house, so I ran into our pantry, where I found the fat, bald man eating some food. I told him that we could live in the pantry with food forever, but he said that we couldn't because then we would have to be vegans. I then ran out of the pantry, and told all the other people to get inside the pantry because the giant was ripping apart our house, but as they ran, the giant grabbed my dad and ate him. After the woman and the man with the mustache were inside, I went inside and closed the door behind me to find that the pantry had turned into a multi-story warehouse. The giant started to break into the warehouse-pantry. I was sincerely frightened, so the four remaining people, including me, ran and hid. When the giant broke through the roof, the, the first person he found was the man with the mustache, so he ate that man, and while the giant was breaking apart the walls of the warehouse, something happened to me, so that no one acknowledged me anymore. I can only assume that I got eaten, because all I did after that was watch the lady and the bald man hide. Then soon afterward, the giant fell over and the two remaining people found that he was a giant robot. They then found an airplane in the warehouse and flew it to New York, which was being attacked by a giant robot, like my house, but the robot attacking New York was a giant yellow duck that dropped bowling balls on everything bellow it. I woke up after that. It was a very strange dream.

Rabk -Part 13


Forest Battle
Rabk - Part 13

"Now, boy," said Hook, his gun still pointed at Rabk's face. "Where is Peter?" Rabk rolled his eyes. "Don't you get the fact that I don't know where Peter is or who he is?" "Don't you get the fact that I have twenty men ready to shoot you if you don't tell me where Peter is?" Beowulf raised his hand like a shy schoolchild. "OK, I'm sure there is a better way of handling this situation." Hook turned and pointed his pistol at Beowulf. "Quiet, you! I'll deal with your predicament after I'm finished with my current patient." Taking the opportunity of having Hook's head turned, Rabk drew his sword and hit Hook on the head with it. As Hook, once again, fell unconscious, Rabk grabbed him and held Hook in front of himself. All Hook's men had their guns turned towards Rabk now. "Put down your weapons!" yelled Rabk, putting his sword to Hook's neck, "Or I'll kill him!" The surprised men slowly put their guns to the ground and put their hands in the air. Rabk looked at Burt and Beowulf and nodded. All three ran off trough the hoard of pirates, leaving Hook to fall to the ground. The pirates immediately grabbed their guns and shot after the three travellers. "You better have a plan!" yelled Beowulf. "Nonsense," replied Rabk, "People in books always make daring escapes!" "Sorry to interrupt," put in Burt, "But those pirates don't care about daring escapes, and now their chasing us!" After a couple minutes of running and letting Rabk think, Beowulf yelled at him, "Well?" Rabk swallowed and replied, "We'll just keep running and hope for a miracle!" "Oh, so heroic!" said Beowulf, rolling his eyes. Suddenly, four giant turtles and a green thing hopped out of the forest trees. The four turtles were just in ninja gear and started fighting the pirates off. Whenever they hit someone, a giant onomatopoeia in all-caps appeared in the sky. All the green thing did was get up, brush himself off and look at them. He had only one large eye in the middle of his head. He waved and said "Hi! I'm Mike Wazowski!" Then the green thing ran off. Rabk didn't notice the green thing, though, he just smiled and stared at the turtles. He had watched them on TV when he was a child. After the last of the pirates ran off, the turtles turned and said "Cowabunga, dude!" Beowulf looked at them in a strange way. "And who are you?" "Dude!" responded one of the turtles, "We're teenage, mutant, and ninjas! What do you think? And what are you doing here dudes?" "We are trying to find the library." said Burt cautiously. "Dude!" said another turtle, "Your so close to it! C'mon! We'll bring you there!" So off they group went, following the turtles, and soon, the forest disappeared and a city appeared. Suddenly, on a small street, the turtles stopped. "Here we are, dudes!" "What?" said Burt, looking at the small, pink cottage they had stopped next to. "This is the great library? The one that holds every book ever written?" Beowulf, looking up, said "Burt, I think that we are under the library. Burt looked up and found a skyscraper, hovering sideways above their heads.

Youth at Work

Youth Group Work Day

Today was the last official work day for my youth group. So far, we have had three work days over the past two weeks. Our youth group is having a missions trip to Shonto, Arizona, on an Indian Reservation, where we help people there to fix, build, and paint buildings down there. To prepare for the trip, we were required to spend at least one day helping to work at our church. Our job was to clear the cut down all the weeds in the 2 and 1/2 acres behind our church within the three 4 hour periods we had to work on it. To do this, we had three main jobs assigned to us. The first job was to weed-whack, or cut down the weeds. We did this with the church owned weed-whackers, some of which didn't even work. The second job was to rake all the weeds cut down into piles, so that the third group could get all the weeds into bags. Three days we worked, and although we did not accomplish our goal of cutting down all the weeds, we did very good for a small group of teenagers with a few weed-whackers that hardly worked.We will probably have some more work days to finish the job, but we will probably only need 1 or 2 more days before it is finished.

Stuffed Give-Aways

Giving Away our Stuffed Animals

Today, my old
er sister and I decided that we would give away some of our stuffed animals that we played with as children. We are still keeping some of the stuffed animals, but giving away the ones we have no sentimental attachment for. Bring out all these stuffed animals reminded us of our life as young children. We found our first stuffed animals, three dogs. My older sister has Peanuts, a stuffed dog with half its nose bitten off from when my sister tried to get Jello of its nose, and I have Apples, a dog with no nose because I pulled it off when trying to clean some smoothie off of it, and Chuckles, a dog who had a nose that twisted and that we said needed pills to keep him from laughing. These three dogs were the first three that we decided not to give away. We were also reminded on how we used to always play with them together. Each 'guy' animal had a wife, 'girl', animal. Some of our matches for animals were just strange. We had a snake matched up with a skunk, and a mouse matched up with a spider, but it was always so fun. We found the sunglasses that were put on the bad guys of the day and that sometimes were the bad guys by themselves. We also remembered how we used to tie a rope around each other's waist and climb down the edge of the staircase to get a stuffed animal that had fallen on the ledge between the staircases. We also used to tie a rope to a stuffed animal we didn't like and toss it over the edge of the staircase to keep our sister from coming up. It would distract her, and keep her down there because we would put it just outside of her reach, where she was unable to get it, but was also thought that if she kept reaching, she would get it. The last memory I had was of the first time when my older sister said that she wouldn't play with the stuffed animals with me. I was so sad. After she stopped playing with me, my stuffed animals were never played with each other again, but I used them to make wars. Although I remember sad memories, I also remembered good memories, which make me very happy, and now, with the stuffed animals given away, some other children will be able to create their own good memories.
