" Kids, get to bed!" I shout.242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRTwVlQ8S6
" Not until you tell us a bedtime story." Stacy grumbled.
" Yeah, tell us a story!" May lisped.
" Oh fine, here's something that happened when I was a teen." I said, and started the tale.
_____________________________________________
" Get going to school, kid." My grumpy dad said.
Why'd he have to call me kid? He could call me by my perfectly good name - Tom.
He's a grumpy guy who works as a lawyer in a nearby court. Never has time for me, probably why mom left him.
I slipped on my backpack and headed towards school, when I saw something from the corner of my eye. A weird thing, something, like a firefly, but it followed me, everywhere I went. I finally stopped, and turned around to look at it.
" YO, I'M A TEEN. STOP FOLLOWING ME," I say to it.
A teenie tiny person steps out and immediately grows to my dad's size. Speaking of him, it's not like he would care if I was kidnapped or anything.
" Shut up and follow me, or else-"
I didn' t wait to hear. I practically jumped into that thing, but of course, someone my size wouldn't fit in there.
" Right. I forgot." The tiny guy said, as I watched myself shrink to the size of an ant.
I got in the firefly thingy, and I noticed that it was much bigger on the inside. Maybe because I'd shrunk so much.242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUD8dPQ8B8I
The man led me into a fancy fancy office, probably his king's. But it wasn't. It was someone else's.
" I've brought him here, boss." The man says.242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUw309zze9N
"Good. Now leave." A man with a blazer like my dad's enters.
Why am I talking about my dad so much?
"Yes sir." He leaves.
"Young man, you may be wondering why you are here." The guy says.
"no- not really." I reply.
He chuckles.
"You have been chosen. Not by the gods, By us."
I take a moment to wonder.
"Who are you?" I ask.
"We, are the sprints. You see, we can see the future. We have predicted that you will help us prevent the downfall of the universe." he responds.242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvCNebmtG3
"I see. But how will this world come to an end?" I ask.
He shakes his head.
"Well, a blackhole is coming our way. It's much bigger than the sun. We have to stop it before it swallows the entire universe,"
Geeez, he uses "Universe" a lot.
"Okay. And how, exactly?"
"Okay. None of us are as skinny as you are, so we'll need you to pull that lever in that partition of the wall." He says.
"Okay."
I walkover and put my hand through the wall. Nothing happens.
" So...I just saved the world?" 242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYj0AQZce7
He smiles.242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtbl2x7jmv
"Yes, yes you did."242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1F3m9T8oq
"So, I'll be sending you back to your world. If you tell anyone this happened, well...they won't believe you." he finishes.242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoN8YHgdq18
With a flash, I stand in front of my school.242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdLOStsXGw

"Wow, that was a cool story, daddy. But I don't get one thing," May mumbles.242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HC1v2SUUu
"What is it?" I ask May.
"Well, the man said that if you told anyone-" She couldn't finish.242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGG1ZfbOuV
"Yes?" I ask her, again.
"-they wouldn't believe you. But I do." May replies.
"Yeah, I believe you too."
I smile at them. They actually listened.
"Well, that's because I made it up half an hour ago." And I turn off the lights.

Yes. I know it's cringe. It's not like it's “nice”.
