Back+in+Time

__Back in Time__ __By: Connor Eide__ "I never should have made that stupid wish," Jack whispered to himself, clutching his arm in pain. The towering beast was about to finish him off. "What the...."

The shooting star was the only happy moment in Jack's life. "I wish I could just see a real dinosaur," Jack said. He was lying on the roof of an abandoned warehouse. "I want a real family," he said. He finally drifted off to sleep with the gentle rain surrounding him.

Jack awoke to a loud roar. "Where the heck am I?!?!" he yelled. there was nothing but flat,dry land everywhere. All of a sudden the sky turned black. Jack looked up and realized that the sky didn't change, but a beast the size of a large building was blocking out the sun. " A real dinosaur," Jack said. "This is the coolest dream ever."

The dinosaur moved so fast that Jack didn't realize it was moving until it's claws grazed his arm. The damage was small but the pain was excrutiating. "Not a dream," Jack said, staring at the blood dripping down his arm. "I never should have made that stupid wish," Jack said, clutching his arm in pain. The beast was about to finish him off. "What the..."

The dart came out of nowhere and appeared in the creature's thick neck.

"I got my dinner tonight!" shouted a man who coming up from behind Jack.

"Who are you and where am I?" Jack asked the strange man.

"I'm Dr.Mad," the man replied, "and we are in the prehistoric times."

"How did I get here?" Jack asked. "One minute I am sleeping on the roof of a building, the next I am in the prehistoric times with the dinosaurs!" "I don't know but follow me and help me drag this thing to my cave," Dr.Mad said, pointing to the beast.

The dinosaur meat was surprisingly delicious.

"So what you're telling me is that you wished on a shooting star to come here and your wish came true?" Dr.Mad asked Jack.

"Yes and I have no idea to get back," Jack answered.

"Well I know how to get back," Dr.Mad said. "I built a time machine long ago and came here to study the dreadful beasts. The time machine broke into pieces and I found four of the five. If you help me find the last piece, we can get home safely."

"Okay, I'll help," Jack said.

"Yes! Follow me," the professor said, walking into a room.

The room was filled with weapons.

"Grab whatever you want," Dr.Mad told Jack, grabbing a few things. Jack grabbed a crossbow, a grappling hook, and a spear.

Soon after they left, they encountered some dinosaurs. Dr.Mad killed almost all of them.

"That thing is huge!" Jack yelled. Towering above them was a T-rex. Jack, who wanted to kill something so bad, shoved his spear into the dinosaurs foot. While the dinosaur was recovering, Jack shot it with the crossbow. The beast tumbled to the ground, dead.

"WOW," Dr.Mad said, staring wide-eyed at Jack.

After a few more hours of traveling they finally reached their destination. Inside the cave they saw a small worm-like creature.

"Is this it?" Dr.Mad asked. "Heh, pathetic."All of a sudden, a giant claw grabbed the worm. "Uh-oh," The professor said. A huge dragon came out of the ground. The dragon struck the professor and he flew across the cave.

"This is all up to me," Jack said. He remembered the grappling hook and had and idea. He threw the hook to the cave ceiling and climbed until he was directly above the dragon. "Hey, fatty!" Jack shouted to the dragon, "Eat this!" Jack dropped onto the dragon's head and plunged the spear in.

When Dr.Mad came to he was surprised to be lying on the floor of his cave.

"What happened?" Dr.Mad asked.

"After you were knocked out, I killed the dragon and swiped the piece." Jack said, "I even fixed the machine...I think."

"Well let's find out," the professor said. They changed the dial to modern and hit the button. The machine clicked, buzzed and then all vision turned white.

They appeared in an old lab. "My lab!" Dr.Mad said, apparently exited, "It hasn't changed at all.Well, you better get back to your family."

"I don't have a family," Jack said.

"Then you can stay with me," Dr.Mad told him.

"Really, thanks!" Jack answered. He was happier than he had ever been in his life.
