To the Future When Aliens Attack

by

Wesley Cohen

 

I am searching desperately for a miss placed baseball but then I freeze like an ice cube because I see a Time Machine! I had absolutely no idea what this was until I went inside. Inside of the Time Machine, there are levers and buttons. I wonder where should I go? Maybe it would be amazingly interesting if I go back in time to Ancient Egypt...but wait!

A note on the Time Machine says: This Time Machine only goes to the future; do not attempt to go back to the past! I believe it would be foolhardy to try to go through the timeline to go back to Ancient Egypt. I desperately want to go back to Ancient Egypt to see the amazing Great Pyramid being constructed. Let's be optimistic and look at the bright side I do have the ability to go anywhere into the future and I am able to witness catastrophic events that will happen in the future. I can warn the whole world about horrifying events that will occur in 300 years and prevent the events from damaging anything. "Where on Earth should I go?" I say to myself. Perhaps I should go 300 years into the future to witness the brilliant accomplishments that humans will succeed in.

Inside the Time Machine, I look around and realize I have not one little bit of an idea of how the Time Machine works. I use my knowledge of the complex Time Machines in the movies to figure out how to get 300 years through time to the future. The idea of how the Time Machine works just floated into my mind. For it to work I need to press certain buttons to make the Time Machine to go to the future. The buttons are letters and numbers that when you dial them into the control panel; make the Time Machine take you to that time. The control panel is right in the front of the Time Machine. Into the control panel, I dial Los Angeles, California 300 years into the future.

"Let's go", I scream.

I blink for a tenth of a second and then the Time Machine miraculously is flying in the sky of 300 years into the future.

"Oh my gosh this is 100% amazing", I yell excitedly.

There are hover boards, which are flying skateboards that can fly up to an impossible 150 M.P.H.! It must be the small blazing, flaming fire that comes out of the very back of the hover board that gives it the endurance to go at this impossible speed.

Every single building and car is airborne.

"I guess there must be something in the motors of the cars and the foundation of the buildings that make it possible for the buildings and cars to be airborne", I say to myself.

The cars are so complex that they never break or need gas. The buildings are as light as a pine needle but never fall to the ground. I have the ability to have the knowledge of these things because I have seen science fiction moves similar to the future world. Then I start walking down the shiny, beautiful, amazing, silver road.

A few minutes later, there is an alien invasion!

"Oh my gosh", I scream worrying.

"What do I do?" I say to myself.

They are firing lasers and someone has got to stop them. The future police have arrived but unfortunately in a blink, they turn to dust!

"I guess it's up to me to save the future world," I say to myself.

I sprint toward the Time Machine and start flying it in the direction of the aliens' spaceships. Then right in front of me I see a button that reads cannon. I start firing at the engines of the aliens' spaceships and I hit right on target but then the aliens hit the Time Machine! I fire right back at them and then they fire right back at me. I fire back twice and then they fire back four times extremely fast. Oh no, I think, I don't believe I can defeat them. After firing for dear life with the cannons seconds later the enemies' spaceship eats the Time Machine alive!

"The Time Machine just wasn't powerful enough to fight off a bunch of alien invaders," I say to myself in a sense of defeat.

" I just hope that with a miraculous miracle that I can get out of that spaceship," I say in a worried tone.

"Who are you and what do you want"? Said the aliens sneering at me.

" I am Wesley, Wesley Cohen, and I want to know why you want to conquer our planet Earth," I answered them.

"That is none of your business," said the aliens in my face.

" We have made a unanimous decision that we will not hurt you but take you back to our planet for experiments to educate ourselves about humans!" said the aliens in a vicious evil tone.

I think for a second and realize if I make a false comment about humans then maybe there could be a decent chance of the terrifying aliens letting me free!

"Wait" I say to the red-eyed aliens.

"What?" the aliens screech.

"Humans are extremely uninteresting and are no special species," I say in a hopeful tone.

"Okay, we will let go" they said sarcastically.

"Sic!" said the terrifying aliens laughing.

"We aren't that ignorant, you just don't what to be aboard our ship to go to our planet Valneraw," they said smiling.

After our conversation, I sprint to go to where I came in because logically this is where the Time Machine must be. Within a blink, the aliens aren't paying attention and I decide to make a run for it. Then they look and see me sprinting. The green aliens come running like they're on fire. I get to the Time Machine without a second to spare. I then decide to dial yesterday into the control panel. They crawl right on top of the Time Machine. Then I go at the maximum speed and knock them off. I am there as quick as a flash of lightning. I am going to prevent those green, red-eyed, slimy, horrifying aliens from conquering Earth.

Next I go to search for the future police and tell them that there is going to be an alien invasion today! After I convinced them that aliens would attack Earth today, the police decide to have their best policemen on guard. Then the green, red-eyed slimy aliens arrive and the police turn them into dust! I saved the future world from a massive alien invasion!

The future world also thanked me greatly. They didn't know what they would do without my amazing stop of the catastrophic alien attack. I then go back to 2004 after celebrating the victory!

When I arrive the time did not change. I then found the baseball I was searching for right next to the Time Machine and went outside to play baseball with my friends.
