When I was in grade 5 I discovered that my eyes shot out a high beam laser every time I watched an X Men movie. When I went to the cinemas to watch my first X Men movie, 23 people were killed and that part of town was completely destroyed.
10 years later, and after the 12th X Men movie, I finnaly realized that it was the X men movies that were causing my eyes to shoot out laser beams. I’d all ways wanted to be a superhero, but i knew it wasn’t possible to harness my power. So at that point in time I tried my best to stop doing anything remotely related to X Men. But it was hard, there were to many trailers of the movie on television and before other films in the cinemas, so it was after I bought my 24th television I decided that I would finish X Men for good.
I woke up in my apartment in the city, ate some breakfast had a shower, and sat down and writ up a plan. My plan was solid, I would buy tickets to the premiere of the 13th X Men movie on X Men Island. But there was only one problem. Finding a ticket. The good news was after 6 hours on the Internet, I finally figured out were the last couple of tickets were being sold, but the bad news was, they were being sold at an X Men convention. I was about to give it quits, when I remembered that I’m trying to finish off X Men not avoid it. So after that little problem a bigger one arose, X Men Island was off the shore of Miami, with me living in Australia and America in another continent meant I couldn’t drive my car there, and with the amount of televisions and cinemas Ive had to replace meant I couldn’t really afford it. And then i realised, if were to have gotten on the plane, there was a high chance of them playing an X Men movie on the plane, because unfortunately for me X Men was very popular.
But, just before I was going to give up for good, I had an idea. Since i couldn’t travel on a cruise ship to Miami, because the same problem may happen, as with me flying there on an airplane. I decided to build my own cruise ship out of sticks I found on the beach, the best I could come up with was a raft, a very dodgy raft, but I didn’t really have a choice. I pushed my raft into the ocean, and paddled and paddled and paddled myself right into a storm ”GREAT” I thought as I tried to turn around and paddle back, which was pretty stupid because there was a 40 metre wave behind me, which didn’t turn out to well.
When I woke up, I found myself lying face down on a beach, on a tropical island. The most interesting thing about the island, was the natives, they looked like they too have been stranded, they wore t-shirts and shorts and spoke english.
” What are you doing on our island?” The natives asked
”i’m stranded” I said ”i’m looking for X Men Island”
”laservision?” They asked
”yep” I replied.
THE END
This is great Tim. Very clever and original and made me laugh out loud while reading it. You could probably correct capitalisation in a couple of places (make sure “I” is in capitals, for example) and you should change the tense in the following sentence: “they looked like they too have been stranded” so that it says ‘had’. The rest of the story is written in the past tense. Apart from that, this is excellent. A.
every time he watches an x-man movie?
