| Attack of the Black Coal Monster From When I Was Just Four Years Old by IamBoris It interrupted my dreams when the car suddenly stopped. I thought we were home, safe in the driveway, but something was wrong. The car wasn�t stopped- It was still moving, just very, very slowly. Slow motion like in the movie when the spaceship hit� the black coal! Oh, no, we hit a black coal! �Mom!� I wanted to cry, but I was so scared. Before I could get brave, there was a weird buzzing, something started crashing on the window! It kinda sounded like rain, but�but we�re in the black coal! Must be the black coal gramma rays! Then a whole rainbow of colors filled up the windows. I couldn�t see anything, not even the gramma rays. Oh, no! It�s a timewarp! More gramma rays, then a alien-monster with lotsa arms attacked the windshield. What was I gonna do? I covered my eyes, waiting for the monster to eat us. Oh no, oh no, oh� Wait. Now I heard it on the roof! I dared to peek through my fingers, and I saw the alien being dragged off the windshield! A super spaceman musta got �im! And the gramma rays and timewarps started going away, and a pressure pushed on the car�s outside- prob�ly gramma-tea from the black coal. And then it all stopped. I could see out the window again, and I saw- me? Another me looking back. I go to wave, and so does he, and then we both notice the cars are all sparkly, all clean. What a weird thing. And before we can even begin to figure out how two monster-attacked cars were so shiny-clean, our moms look at us and say, �Oh, you�re up. How�d you like your first car wash?� |
| Black Hole Monsters by IamBoris The car didn�t stop- it just moved very slowly. Slow motion like in that movie when the spaceship hit the black hole. Runny rainbow timewarps filled the windows so I couldn�t see outside. Gamma rays rained, and alien monsters attacked the windshield. I covered my eyes, waiting to be eaten. But wait. The noise grew quiet. I dared to peek through my fingers and saw the alien dragged away. And the gamma rays and timewarps slowly disappeared. I could see out the window again. I saw another me looking back. Our moms saw us, too, and asked, �Did you like your first car wash?� |
