The Story of a Father

After writing a story for my younger sister's birthday, I found that I liked writing short stories for my family. My family, especially my dad, encouraged me to write more of them, so for every birthday, I write about a different person in the family in the stories. The next birthday after my sister's was in the next month, so I wrote this story for my dad.

The Story of a Father

The Story of a Family- Part 2

There was once a man who married a woman with a Ph.D. in horticulture. They had 3 children, two daughters and one weird son. After he had his kids, he spent all his time making a travel itinerary program. After years of working on it, he finally finished, but when he tried testing it out, the program glitched and blew up every plane on the face of the planet. He spent two years in prison for this crime. While in prison, he wrote Pride and Prejudice 2. When he got out of prison, he went and took a toy airplane and his youngest daughter’s rat and let the rat fly away in the plane. He then disowned the family duck and sent it off to the Philippines. He then decided to take a vacation from life with his weird son, so they went to Belize. They had a great time, but when they were catching a train back home, the man forgot his son. When he was home, the man read the news to find that his eldest daughter had blown a hole through the Earth, so he left his house and bought his wife two potatoes and a microscope. His wife immediately started doing tests on the potatoes. The man soon got bored with his wife doing tests, so he went for a walk. After wandering for a while, he found his younger daughter and she sucked out all of his memories and programming knowledge. She then ran off. He wandered some more, bewildered, until he got to the grocery store, where he met his eldest daughter, but he didn’t remember her, so he ran off. Afraid that she would follow him, the man ran all the way to Alaska. In Alaska, he found a small village where he settled down in and started a new life as a fisherman. After a couple of years, his son found him in the village. No longer weird, the son talked to his father, reminding his father about his whole life and on what he had missed while in Alaska. Then the son brought him back to their old home, where the man’s wife came out to greet him. The man remembered everything upon seeing his wife and the two of them lived to a nice old age and loved each other always.
