" Kids, get to bed!" I shout.181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSwhqHaOsC
" 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.181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUNACDjMGS
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.181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7ABtHKnG5
"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.181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NAgaJsQuy
"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?" 181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmvkJj2RLt
He smiles.181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwgZRygpke
"Yes, yes you did."181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AhhDDCIDu
"So, I'll be sending you back to your world. If you tell anyone this happened, well...they won't believe you." he finishes.181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkjkm9R469
With a flash, I stand in front of my school.181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNSKRmJ03Y

"Wow, that was a cool story, daddy. But I don't get one thing," May mumbles.181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAqL09Dy94
"What is it?" I ask May.
"Well, the man said that if you told anyone-" She couldn't finish.181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrFAjIC6g7
"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”.
