The Story of A Young Girl

Starting at my younger sister's birthday last August, I decided to make a group of stories that are connected. The main family in the story is loosely based on my family. This first one was the first one I wrote. I didn't have a present for my sister, so the day before her birthday, I wrote this as a present.

The Story of a Young Girl

The Story of a Family- Part 1

There was once a young girl who was the daughter of a computer programmer and a mother with a PhD in horticulture. When she was eight, she dreamed of flying the seas as a flight attendant, and this dream stayed with her over time, but unfortunately, in 2016, all the planes suddenly blew up for no particular reason. Although Miriam didn’t get her dream job, she looked to the future instead of dwelling on the past and hopped on the next train to Canada where she worked the next seven years for a potato farmer. For these seven years, she stayed in contact with all her family except her weird brother who had written her a small story for her ninth birthday instead of buying her something fancy. She stopped working on potato farm after seven years because she got a letter from Barrack Obama saying that he wanted to meet her, so she said goodbye to all her potato farming friends and took a bus to Washington D.C., but once on the bus, she was tied up and gagged, finding out that the bus was filled with Somalian pirates trying to start a ponzi scheme. After tying her up, the pirates threw the girl into the bus’s cargo area and drove off. When they took her out, she found herself in front of the Hagia Sophia in Turkey. The pirates dragged her in and sold her to some veteran suicide bombers. The bombers took her to a yacht and sailed off on there way to the Antarctic, but when they reached the Atlantic, Miriam’s trusty pet rat flew in on a toy airplane and set her free. The girl was so happy that she threw the rat up in the air where he got stuck on a piece of used gum. The girl then went on deck to find her sister being terrorized by a millimeter long spider, but the girl just sat, laughing at the arachnophobe sister she had. After three hours of this, she jumped overboard and swam across the Atlantic to Belize, where she found her weird brother wandering confusingly on the beach. She quickly tied him to a near by pole and left him there. She then got in touch with an old friend named Lippuner. She then hijacked a car and drove to Nashville, where she started a band with Lippuner. After2 years of being in a band and ten hours of blogging, she went to New York and jumped from the Empire State Building to Big Ben where she set the clock back three hours, messing up all of London. She then drove to the Philippines, where her family fed her so much that she looked like a hippo, but then her trusty duck stuck a pin in her, thus deflating her. The girl then went and absorbed all the programming knowledge right out of his head and became a horticulturist. She then met a man named Name and they married that afternoon. They had twenty-eight children and adopted five more, and live confusingly ever after.

Other parts of The Story of A Family will be written later on.

Rabk- Part 5

Rabk
Part 5

The Island Castle

There was a large crash. Rabk, still with his eyes closed, doesn't want to see the damage on Odysseus's ship, the ship he is on. He heard a small splash and then a cheer coming from the ship he was on. He opens one eye, and seeing no damage on his ship, opens his other eye and joins the cheering. He looks overboard and realizes that the tip of the ship he is on is pointed and bronze. Captain Hook's ship has a large, nasty hole in it. Suddenly, a face emerges from the waters. It was Hook, himself. Apparently, Hook was knocked overboard be the impact. Odysseus comes up behind Rabk, putting his hand on Rabk's shoulder and laughing. "That was quite a strike, wasn't it, Rabk?" "Very nice," said Rabk, chuckling with relief. Turning around, Odysseus commanded that the ship do the same. Soon, the ship was turned around and sailing out of the river mouth, into the ocean. Rabk looked at Odysseus' crew. It looked like the typical ancient Greek crew, with the exception of a large beetle. Odysseus claims that the beetle was once a human named Gregor. After a half hour, Rabk remembered why he never went on boats. The reason spilled off the side of the ship unceasingly. When an island finally came into view, Odysseus' crew was anxious to land and take a few steps away from Rabk. When Rabk felt a bit better, he went over to Odysseus and Rabk. "I've never seen this island before." "Let's explore it!" said the adventure eager Beowulf. Odysseus shrugged. "Maybe we can find some free food. I'm starving. Odysseus kept his crew together in one group to avoid dangerous situations. After a while of searching, Rabk felt much better, but was starving now. The group found a large castle in the middle of the island. It was a nice looking castle which look like an overgrown Italian villa, but with lots of windows. As the group went the front door, Beowulf looked up at the tall mansion. "It's funny," he said to Rabk. "I would have thought that you could see a castle this large from the beach." Unfortunately, nobody in the entire crew didn't sense the obvious foreshadowing in this statement and went straight to the front door. As they looked into the glass front door, they saw a nice-looking, young lady who was weaving. When she saw them, she immediately got up and ran up to get the door. "Oh, come on in, you poor, weary travellers! You need rest and a good meal to fill you!" As the lady opened the door for them, she said, "I am Circe, and this is my island." Once again, nobody remembered what book she came from or what she did in that book. She led the crew into a large dining room with a high roof and Doric pillars. Stacks of cheeseburgers, fries, and soda were piled on a large table in the center of the room. The hungry men immediately rushed for them and ate. Gregor even had a pile of moldy cheeseburgers on the floor. The men's hunger drove the men to eat everything. After all the food was gone, the men realized that they were pigs. Unfortunately, it was now that Rabk realized where Circe came from. The witch then came in, herding the men into a pen that the men had failed to notice. After she had gotten them inside of it, Circe gave off an evil cackle. Then she noticed a bewildered man who was lying on the floor, looking at his hands. The pigs all squealed from behind her. If pigs could speak, they would have been saying "Gregor!" When all the humans had been turned into pigs, the bug, Gregor, turned back into a human. Hearing his friends' screams, he jumped up and attacked Circe and tied her up with a rope that was in arms reach. After she was secured, he thought about how strange that the rope just happened to be just in the right spot. As Circe screamed "Release me!", Gregor found a handy-dandy potions cabinet. Unfortunately, the potion labels were all written in a different language. Circe cackles echoed through the room. You'll never understand the labels! I wrote them in a different language just in case something like this happened!" Gregor turned around, holding a bottle. "This language is Russian. My native language is Russian." Circe's smile fade, but in a slightly annoyed voice said "Well, if you use that potion on you're friends, you will turn back into a bug!" Odysseus's crew squeal with horror. Would Gregor sacrifice his humanness to save them? The did not know, but with all the horrified squeals and with Circe's renewed cackling, Gregor became angry and said "Stop cackling! It's very annoying. Then he dumped the bottle he was holding into the pig pen. Immediately, the pigs turned back into humans, Gregor turned into a bug, and Circe turned into a pig. The men carried Gregor back the ship on their shoulders, cheering. And never again did any of the men take Gregor for granted.

RABK- PART 4

Setting Sail

"You mean that you're Odysseus?" asked Rabk excitedly. "The one and only." said Odysseus proudly, but frown soon afterwards."But there is something that you should know. A god has a grudge against me, so we might run into some trouble." Rabk frowned, but Beowulf smiled and said "Hey! It's not like we don't run into any trouble in this world already." Odysseus grinned. "Then let's get ready!. Here, Beowulf. We need this food for the trip." Beowulf looked down at the list and said "I bet we can find these. C'mon Rabk!" And then Beowulf turned an went off into the city. Rabk followed as the went to where Rabk thought was the supermarket, but the store had been converted into an open market, with rows of stalls and stands. Beowulf disappeared into the infinite number of shops with Rabk trying to keep up. To Rabk, the whole place seemed like a maze. The place was very crowded and it seemed like a dark mist was following Rabk everywhere he went, so he couldn't see 5 feet in front of him. He tried going up to a stall that said "MAPS", but as he walked up, he realized that all 6 of his wallets had been taken, so he made his way deeper through the marketplace, where a dozen people came up to him and asking if he wanted a watch. One even asked him if he wanted a sun dial. After about 30 minutes of searching, Rabk finally found an exit. He ran to it, but he tripped over a crate and fell on his face just outside of the market. Beowulf was standing in front of him and cheerfully said, "Oh! There you are! I've been looking for you everywhere. We got to get back to the ship now!" They went back to the ship, and Odysseus almost immediately told them to set sail. They sailed down to the mouth of the river, but as they exited, a cannon fired at them. Beowulf, Rabk, Odysseus, and everyone else on the ship turned to see a large pirate ship with Captain Hook standing in the front. "No one gets away with insulting Captain Hook, boy." Hook fired another shot from the cannon next to him. It took some of the oars from the rowers. "Turn the ship around!" said Odysseus. "Let's get him!" Rabk looked at Beowulf, worriedly. "What's he doing?" asked Rabk. Beowulf shrugged and said "I'm not the ancient Greek naval strategist." The ship was now turned and Odysseus said "Now go straight for him!" The rowers rowed as fast as they could, and Captain Hook looked as confused as Rabk. As they reached Hook, Hook and Beowulf's eyes widened and Beowulf started laughing. Rabk looked at Beowulf, amazed/confused. Rabk hid his eyes as the ships were about to collide, and then the ships hit.

Rabk- Part 3

Happenings in the Town



Rabk lay there, trying to say that he didn't know who Peter was or where he was, but when he tried to speak, he couldn't. "Tell me!" yelled the impatient pirate, pressing his sword closer to Rabk's neck. Being that Rabk was still speechless, the pirate spoke again, scratching his goatee with his hook hand. "Very well, boy. Any last words? Not that they'll be remembered or anything. I just say it to sound dramatic." As he said this, a ticking noise came from the manhole next to Rabk's head. The pirates eyes widened, then he screamed and jumped away as a ticking crocodile pushed the manhole cover out of its way. Rabk, realizing that the sword was gone from his neck rolled away from the crocodile. Obtaining a barrier of other pirates in between himself and the crocodile, the pirate looked back to Rabk, saying "Just a minute, you." , but as he said this, a thumping sound came from behind him, the pirate became stiff, and he fell forward close to where Rabk lay. Rabk stared for a minute at the fallen pirate, then up at where the pirate had stood, finding Beowulf in the pirate's place, admiring the bottom of his sword. "The butt of a sword is a very useful thing, isn't it?" he said cheerfully. Pointing his sword at the pirate, he continued, "That's Captain Hook, the pirate. You don't want to mess with him." All the other pirates, except the one getting eaten by the ticking crocodile, stared at them, amazed.Beowulf pulled Rabk to his feet and led him out of the pirate crowd. Beowulf brought Rabk to a domed building with several gold miners coming out of it. "Wait right here," said Beowulf "I'll be right back out. Just need some supplies." Rabk leaned up against the wall. The small duck pond had turned into a large river with a harbour and fishing community on the other side of it. A giant was trying to wade across the river, muttering about how it was quiet a muddy puddle. Near the giant were two boys on the raft, one of which was waving around a dead cat. As Rabk watched the river, a large plant with a mouth in a pot hopped into view. It then spoke, or sang, "I'm hungry!" Rabk tried to back up, but he was already against the wall. The vines of the plant shot out towards Rabk, but as the vines reached for him, a sword cut the vines in half and Beowulf ran up to the plant, chopping of its head. The plant instantly disintegrated. Beowulf turned to Rabk and said "Talking plants are another thing that you should avoid. None of them are that friendly." "But you killed it!" said Rabk. "Would you rather have it kill you?" asked Beowulf. Rabk couldn't answer that one. "Anyway, nobody dies here, they just reappear in the place where they first came into this world. Now here are some weapons you might want. Your sword, your knife, and your pistol. You'll need these. Now lets get to the harbour." The walked down to the harbour, where submarines to Spanish galleons were docked. The harbour seemed to go on forever. Finally, they came to an ancient Greek galley. "I'll go talk to the captain. You..." Beowulf paused "Defend yourself." Beowulf then hopped on board and disappeared from sight. Luckily, nothing tried to attack Rabk while Beowulf was gone. When Beowulf came back, a tanned, well-built man came out with him. "Good News!" said Beowulf, smiling, "This man has agreed to take us to the library!" "Great!" said Rabk, stepping forward. He held out his hand to the captain. "I'm Rabk." The man shook Rabk's hand firmly. "Pleased to meet you," he said "I'm Odysseus."

Rabk Part 2

Understanding the World

Rabk pased back and forth. Beowulf stood near by, still standing heroiclly with Grendal's arm. Rabk stopped and turned to Beowulf. "So you're saying that there is no way back to the real world?" he asked. Beowulf rolled his eyes. "For the, like, fortieth time, there is no way for you to go back. This is you're world now! No changing that!" "But this isn't the real world! I need to somehow get back! How did I get here anyway?" Beowulf shrugged. "All I know is that all of us come from a books. Ask the Librarian." "Yeah, but I don't come from any stinking book. And I need--" Rabk paused. "Did you say the Librarian? Aren't there hundreds of librarians in books?" "Yeah, but only one is designated to run the Library." "And what is in this 'Library'?" "Every story, book, and movie ever made up in the real world." Rabk got excited. "Maybe the librarian knows how I should get back! Can you take me there?" He asked Beowulf. Beowulf grinned. He just couldn't resist an adventure. "Sure," he said "But you're going to need a boat." Rabk looked as confused as a armadillo on ice. "Why do I need a boat?" he asked. Beowulf studied his sword. "Oh, just because the library happens to be half-way arround the world from here." Rabk basically collapsed onto the ground. Beowulf looked down in an amused/annoyed sort of way. "Awe, c'mon! Its not that bad. I even know one of the best crews out there." Rabk opened his eyes. "Who is this great crew of yours?" Beowulf smiled. "C'mon if you want to find out." he said, and with that he walked off. Rabk got up and followed him. They ventured into what used to be a shopping center. As they went onto the main street, a dressed rebbit ran by, waving his pocketwatch arround and complaining about the time. He rather large little girl ran by, holding an empty bottle reading 'Drink me'. Rabk had to jump to get out of the way of this giant girl, but Beowulf, with the slightest movement of his shoulder, went right in between the monstorous legs as if nothing ever happened. Rabk quickly ran to catch up with Beowulf. "So where are we going?" he asked. "To the River!" said Beowulf. "The river?" asked Rabk, confused, "But there are no rivers around here! Just a small pond!" Beowulf, fully annoyed by now, turned arround, almost yelling, "Look arround you, man! This is not your world! Don't you expect that something might be different here?" Rabk did look arround him. The local butcher shop was no longer selling pig and cow, but dragon and whale. A blonde girl, with flowing blonde hair, leaned her head over he balcony, her face scrunched up in pain. As Rabk's eyes followed the hair down to the ground, he found a prince unsuccessfully trying to climb up the hair. Although Rabk spent a coupleamusing moments watching this prince, his eyes soon were brought tho the roof by gunfire, where riflemen, archers, and some cannibals were shooting each other off the roofs. Rabk looked forward to find Beowulf far ahead of him on their way down the street. Rabk realized he wasn't walking, so he decided to start again, but as Rabk walked, the door of what used to be a olive oil shop opened to release an army of pirates attacking each other randomly, as if in a bar fight. As Rabk observed, a man fell out a window, falling onto Rabk. The pirate yelled at Rabk, about to punch him when a shiney boot hit the pirate off of him. The boot immediately was on Rabk's chest, taking the place of the pirate. The boot was connected to a man with long, curley hair and a red suit. A giant feather stood on top of the man's red hat. A hand pulled a sword from the man's side, putting it to Rabk's neck. " Tell me where Peter is, boy." Rabk just lied there, hands in the air, too afraid to speak. "Tell me boy!" yelled the man, "Or you die!"

I decided to make a story. No Paragraphs though!

Rabk, Part 1

Beginnings

There was once an odd man named Rabk Doomfish . Rabk was about the average height and weight of a 20 year old. He had ruffled brown hair and always had a confused look stuck on his face. One day, Rabk went for a walk. While walking, he decided to go down to the nearest local coffee shop. When he got in, he found all the customers in two groups. One group was made up of medieval soldiers, and the other half looked as though they had popped right out of the 25th century. Despite this, Rabk kept his mind and went up to the cashier, who was a talking raccoon, who had a name tag which said "MR. Raccoon". Rabk ordered a mocha, but instead, Mr. Raccoon handed him a goblet of wine. As he drank, a boy with glasses and a scar on his forehead peeked into the room, then he and two other kids in black robes came in. Scar-head grabbed the goblet, saying "At last! The professor will be so pleased with our finding of his Goblet of Fire." Another man came in through the manager's office and jumped over the counter. He had a Faddora on and held a whip in his hand. "I don't know about this 'Goblet of Fire' of yours," he said, "but that cup ain't on fire, and it's the Holy Grail." He then used his whip to pull the goblet from the boy with the glasses. "No, you can't take the Goblet!" said the boy, and with that, he pulled a wooden stick out of his pocket, and pointed it towards Fedora-Man. Then he said something which, to Rabk, sounded like 'Poof ' in Latin. A blue light came forth from the stick, shooting straight for the whip guy. The man ducked, and the blob of light hit Mr. Raccoon. The scar boy and his friends jumped on the Fedora man. The medieval dudes and the futuristic men all took sides. Rabk went outside for some fresh air. When he got outside, a bus rolled, on its side, through the parking lot. It stopped on the opposite side of the parking lot, lying on its side. A roar came from inside and the whole ceiling crumpled in and was ripped of the rest of the bus to reveal a green blob of a monster. A lady in high heals ran out from behind the monster and ran away, screaming. The blob roared, lumbering after the damsel, but as he did, a voice came from behind Rabk, saying "Stop, Grendel, you monster of evil. Your days of destruction are over, for I, Beowulf, have come to stop you, for I am Beowulf the great, the brave, the awesome." And with that, Beowulf ran around Rabk, charging towards Grendel with his sword pointed right towards Grendel. Grendel looked over, roared, and charged. Beowulf then jumped up on a car, using it as a ramp and jumped, turning around in the air, landing onto Grendel's back. Grendel, taken by surprise, flailed his arms wildly, trying to grab Beowulf, who raised his sword and cut off Grendel's arm. Grendel roared, grabbing the stub of an arm he had left and retreating sluggishly towards the grocery store. Rabk walked up to Beowulf, standing heroically over the arm. "Hi. Can you tell me where I am and how I get back home?" Beowulf looked at him "This is the fantasy world. Without this world, reality could not exist with all those books ever written." Rabk was unsurprised. He had kind of grasped the fact that this wasn't earth when the raccoon started talking. "Well, I'm from the real world." He said "and how do I get back." Beowulf looked at him, confused. "Oh, you're from the real world?" he asked "Well, forget that life, 'cause there's no going back. Anything that comes here, stays here.
