Story and Illustration by Lucas, Age 10
It started as a standard weekend at my uncle Bob’s house with my friend Ryan. Bob was watching baseball and we were down in the basement with Bob’s old building sets and a pool table. We were playing a round of pool (even though we didn’t know how to play) when I heard a mechanical noise coming from the bookcase.
I told Ryan and we tip-toed over and started shoving books off it until we pulled a lever behind the correct book. With a big “SHEW WONK!” and the bookcase split in half and opened. “This just got a whole lot more interesting,” exclaimed Ryan.
We walk into a huge elevator.“What floor?” I ask Ryan. “ Let’s go to floor two,” he said confidently.
“No. I mean WHAT floor!” I said. He looks and sees STATIC on EVERY button. Then a camera appeared. Once it saw us, the intercom turned on and whaled “UNIDENTIFIED AGENTS!” over and over and over again… FINISH THE STORY!
It’s Your Turn!
Lucas started a story that you get to finish. What happens after they heard the voice on the intercom. Are they in trouble? Are they trapped? It’s all up to you! Grab some paper and a pencil and try to finish his story!
