100 Years in The Future
I wish I could skip next week; you think as you get into bed that night. In the morning you wake up 100 years in the future. I was happy because I didn’t have to go to school, but at the same time I was sad because I didn’t get to see the rest of my life. I got out of bed and got breakfast and when I was done eating, I watched TV then I went to my basement to look through things and I found a picture of my mom and dad.
It made me tear up because I couldn’t find them this morning, so I walked to my room to get my shoes on so I could go look for them. But when I went outside everything in my yard was different, I only had one tree left in the front yard and my yard was fenced and now there are also new houses next to my house. But I was getting distracted so I Focast to find mom and dad I knocked on all my neighbor's doors to see if they have seen my parents and they all said no it started to get dark so I went back home. And I was also really tired I decided to look for them the next day. When I woke up the next day, I quickly put my shoes on and went outside to look for them I went to a few senior centers to see if I could find them.
My friend Mike saw me walking out of the senior center and asked, “what are you doing?” I told him I’m looking for my parents and he said, “if you don’t mind, I can help you?” I said if he wants, he can. Mike and I couldn’t find them, so we went to the cemetery and there they were Mike said he was sorry I said it’s ok it got dark outside again so I asked Mike if he wanted to stay the night at my house. We went to bed Mike fell asleep fast I couldn’t sleep then I came up with an idea then fell asleep the next morning I told Mike my idea it was to build a time machine he looked at me like I was crazy. We went to go get all of the materials we needed to build it, we started right away when we got all of our supplies that we needed it took us an hour to get the base done but we were running out of screws I told
Mike that I will be back I need to get more screws.
When I came back Mike had a wall up it took us a week to finish the time machine looked like a photo booth, I asked Mike if he wanted to come, he said sure. We got in and stared it up it took about ten seconds to run I typed in the year 20000, everything stated to shake my vision was going blurry and all of a sudden everything stopped. I took a beep berth and I walked out of the time machine everything look like normal when I got out It worked! I shouted excitingly Mike then came out and he was so surprised that it worked. Mike and I started to walk to my house it wasn't a long walk it took us about five minutes to get there I saw my Parents house I got excited and started to run. When I got to the front door, I started to get nervous my palms were sweeting my hands were shaking but I finally gathered myself but I thought to myself what if they don’t remember me so I was going to turn around and go home but Mike stopped me.
He said “ this might be your only opportunity you never know” so I turned around and knocked on the door I was happy to see them when they opened the door and they remembered me so I was going to stay with them so I went were our time machine was and we took it all apart and went to go sell the parts and I was going to give the money to my parents so they can do their bills and anything else they need to do. I asked my friend Mike where are you going to stay, he said that he was going to stay at his grandparents' house like he use to do. I felt bad because I didn’t Know if he wanted to go back so I asked if he wanted to go back, I could build the time machine again Mike said “no now I’ll have someone to live with” I felt bad so I looked at him and said “hey if you need to sleep somewhere just come to me you know where I live and I’ll never say no to you”.
Mike got all happy and he said “Okay I will” then Mike and I walked in different directions. It's been a few days since I moved back in with my parent's and it felt so good to be back a few hours later Mike came over and was asking how I was doing I said that I was doing good then I asked Mike how he was doing he said “Better than before now I have some people to talk to” I felt so happy for him.
