Way Back in Time “Why do I have to go outside today?” whined Greg “It’s a perfect day out and you spent all of yesterday in your room.” his Mom argued. Greg knew that there was no use arguing with his mom, so he listened to her. Greg decided to take a book off the old and decrepit bookshelf and decided to read it outside. When he got outside he felt the warm rays of sun hit his back and then he reconsidered the thought of going outside. He decided to read the book he had chosen on a rotting tree stump. Once he sat on the stump his life would never be the same. It happened so fast he had know clue what was going on. The first thing he noticed was that he was falling through the tree stump. He was so shocked after that, he fainted and could not witness what took place after that. The next thing he noticed was that there was a torrent of rain. Once he regained his senses, he observed the vibrant and exotic plant life. The plants were a vivid green with amazing tints of yellow and blue. Greg stopped taking in all of the wonderful sights when he heard screeching. This horrible noise filled him with such sheer terror, he shriveled up on the ground. His next thought was to find some sort of shelter. In about ten minutes he stumbled upon a cave. Greg had know choice but to go inside the cave so he meandered into it. In the cave he found know danger, only a few big boulders and tree limbs. Since he felt the cave was safe, he took time to think about what happened. Greg thought about where he was at the time he teleported, where he could have been now, and how he could get back. Greg remembered that he was sitting on the tree stump when it happened… Greg was interrupted by an unidentified animal that walked into the cave. “What are you?” he said out loud as the animal stopped in the center of the cave to consume a nearby plant. Greg recognized this animal from a television program. The animal was grey in color, walked on all four les, had a massive boney plate on the back of it’s head and had one small horn on it’s nose and two long horns attached to it’s head. Greg identified this animal or dinosaur as a triceratops. Greg was thankful that it only ate plants and tried to entice it over with a piece of a large branch. The triceratops was only as tall as his waist making it a juvenile. After Greg befriended the dinosaur, he named him Buddy. After Greg took a little time to bond with Buddy, the two left the cave. When Greg was in the cave he came up with an idea to how he was going to get home. His idea was to try to find the tree in his front yard that sent him back in time and sit on it. This would hopefully send him to the present. After Greg finished that vital thought, he herd the same screeches. This time the disembodied noise had a body, and this was one body he did not want to see. This was another dinosaur that was about a foot taller then him, brownish in color, walked on two legs, had sharp claws on both hands and each foot had a claw designed for hunting. Greg did not need a television program telling him this were carnivorous. Just as it was going to attack, a miracle happened. That perfectly timed miracle was a lightning bolt that was followed by a boom louder than bombs going off. This was just enough to scare the ferocious predatory dinosaur away. Greg finally saw the sight he wanted to see. That sight was his front yard (65 million years ago). The second miracle was out of sheer luck, the lightning bolt hit the tree that sent him back. The last thing to do was to say good by. Even though he only knew the triceratops for a day, it was hard to leave him behind. Just then an idea hit him. He then sat on the stump to send him back. Even the second time he went through he fainted. He got back safe and sound, but heavier. That weight was the baby triceratops. Sure, it would be hard to explain it to his mom, but that was later and this is know not 65 million years ago. If his mom ever asked he could say he saved a life. Now Greg was thankful to be in the present day sun he took a nap.
