Final

The box came from a friend. I took it and put it inside my house. It had purple colored dust on it. It had ugly yellow writing on the top flap. I put it in the basement and I locked all the doors.

My friend gave me a card with weird writings. It was half red and half blue with a little bit of silver. It was a coder manual. He said use it for what’s in the box. He also said to open the box right away. So I went up stairs to my closet. I got a lever and a hammer.

When I was going down the steps to the basement I was going slower than usual. As if time was freezing. I was still moving. I looked outside and saw everyone frozen. Why did I take the box?

I wondered why not me. Then the card spoke saying, " who possesses me possesses time and the creature." When I heard that I wasn’t sure about opening the box. How did my friend get this? Maybe he’s from somewhere else.

If I have the coder manual what should I be afraid of? So I went down stairs to the basement and with out any fear I opened the box. It took a lot of strength but I did it. A big creature about 9 ft tall, 3 ft wide and had enough strength to destroy a city came out of the box.

He had two eyes, long, sharp, teeth, and bones for fingers. It was like a machine with powers. It spit acid, blew fire and ate a lot.

Everyone in the world started to move again. The creature also had a tail. It had a spine of gold going down his head, back then his tail. The phone rang, ring, ring. I answered the phone. I heard a voice say "432 Proud Foot Ave. 7000,000,000, 6:00 am sharp" beeeeeeeep. Who called me? I’m not afraid of him. He’s pretty dumb not to say the date.

A year later I was on a date when a car pulled up at my house. I was cooking for the date. Someone knocked at the door.

I opened the door to some people I didn’t know. One said "where is our money"? They came in my house without permission.

They said their names were Zach, Derek, Stephen, Andy, Taz, Josh, Russ, Brian and Jon. Is this a gang I thought in my mind? "No wonder you guys want so much money". Brian yelled "wise up pal or else"! Russ asked were the money was at. Josh put a gun to my head. Then the creature came to the guys and I froze everyone but the creature and me. The creature threw them all the way to the ocean. I’ll put you away now in your box up in the attic. I can’t keep you in the basement.
