Hi, I’m Angel and I am 8 ½ and I will NEVER play any board game again. I had a bad experience with a couple of my favorite board games, here’s the story………

I was hanging with my friends, Caitlin, Jonathan, and Julian; we decided to play some of our favorite board games hungry, hungry hippos, battleship, candy land, and monopoly. We just started to play candy land when a big heavy rock broke through Julian’s bathroom with the shattered glass all over the floor, we went to see what happened but someone threw a sleeping gas bomb through the window and forced us all in a deep sleep. We awoke 3-4 hours later with high voltage shock collars around our necks all with our names printed on them and for the girl a little bell. Caitlin started wigging out, but she soon stopped when she heard a huge explosion…………… BOOM!!!!!! They huddled together in fright except for Caitlin who was trying to find where the explosion came from. Once she found out it was coming from she pranced over to see what happened we ran to Caitlin’s position to see her kneeling down in awh as she bows and quickly jumps in a warrior battleship, we all were in jaw dropping awh as well as we see Caitlin shooting a huge target at the end of a huge ocean as it went off a huge gang of boats and war ships headed our way we jumped into the ship and readied ourselves for battle including some uber awesome hats. As we were getting ready to shoot the biggest blow, we were beamed into a pixilated vortex…….. And now we are in this quiet little village. We look around and we see Julian sitting on the ground Jonathan went to go see why and as he grabbed his shoulder he turned around with a mouthful of gummy bears. Caitlin slapped him across the face and he spit out the bears in pain, “OWWW” WFT did you do that for? As he rubbed his cheek she had a strange feeling they had to run, soon a giant Peanut brittle granny came up to us holding a sharp spatula she raised it a said “oh you youngings would you like some brittle that tastes like peanuts……? Caitlin Screamed and broke the piece of hard brittle over her head, the granny fainted and Jonathan and Julian dragged her into a bush. (Cotton candy bush) After Caitlin felt a little guilty they rush to her house and take her swear jar full of 50$’s. Oh did I mention they also take her food for their trip….. So they headed to a big candy castle and as Jonathan was just about to say they were in candy land they were sucked into another vortex but this time it wasn’t pixilated it was shiny and it looked like a disfigured rabbit. As we all fell to the colorful ground below, we all moaned and groaned from the fall. We looked around to see where were when suddenly a big mannish had reached out and grabbed the shoulder part of my shirt. As I pulled away and scream the man asked us to please break him out of jail……………………….. Caitlin began to think as Julian just went along with the man and tried to get him out, Julian tried and tried but he couldn’t bend the bars. Then Caitlin got it, she looked around for something around the area, and wouldn’t you know it she found a giant cube with dots on it, and then Jonathan and I went looking for another on while Julian again tried to bend the bars. Once we found the other cube Caitlin told me and Jonathan to roll the cubes and try to get them on the side with the 1 dot on it, it took us 2 tries but we got it then the cage opened knocking Julian to the ground, as the man thanked us he ran away shouting freedom…………very peculiar Jonathan thought as we walk to find someone to help us. As we walked we met a strange man with a top hat, mustache and suit, he took us to a giant floor tile that had the word go on it and an arrow, “aha” Julian exclaimed as he jumped, but Caitlin knew better “ok Julian what then where are we?” Julian stood there puzzled then ran behind a tree all upset, then Caitlin finished what Julian started “We are in a giant game of monopoly isn’t that right sir?” The man nodded his head and instructed us to pick a game piece I chose the dog, Jonathon chose the thimble, and Julian was about to pick the car but Caitlin shoved him out of the way a stole it so Julian was stuck with the piece that looked like a shoe. The man rolled the cubes for us we all moved one space but the fun ended when the vortex again came to get us, we were sucked in again but this time the vortex looked like a big piece of water melon, We once again swirled in the vortex but as we landed we couldn’t find Caitlin anywhere I began to worry because what if we never see her again just then Julian pointed her out above a giant pedestal wearing a queen robe a crown. We all shouted “what game are we in now” and as we did so she instructed a young soldier to open the 4 gates of destiny, she announced “this is the last game if we don’t win we don’t leave so don’t mess this up ………………………..Julian” Julian replied “yea don’t mess this up jul…….. Hey!!!” The gates opened and revealed 4 hungry hippos (sound familiar) there was a pink one name Jennifer, a blue one named Nigel, a purple one named Albert, and a yellow one named napoleon. Only 3 people could play this game to have a chance to win because a masked, shadowy figure was already sitting on Nigel’s back so Caitlin instructed us to play for our ticket home, I took albert Julian took napoleon and Julian picked Jennifer (says a lot doesn’t it) And so the game began the shadowy figure was having Nigel eat everything in sight but I had a plan I had Julian distract the guy while me and Jonathon could get our hippos to eat the food, and it worked for a while until Nigel bit off Jennifer, and Julian’s right leg. Then he got Nigel back to eating he had Nigel eat 3 more marbles then us if we could distract him a little more we could beat him then Caitlin shouted from above “hey fudge sack, eat this,” she threw a giant bomb she had stashed away from battleship at Nigel which in turn caused both of them to blow up. As we all cheer we were all sent back to Julian’s house but strangle the figure came with us so we took of his mask and found out…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..(please deposit 25 cents to continue this story………………………………………………………………………………………………………………just kidding the masked figure was really My dads friend bill from work!!! , as I fainted on the floor hours went by. When I woke up the next thing I knew was I was home in my room, in my bed with my stuff clown pooky………i………I mean Justin my wrestling action figure, hee hee, anyway I walked to the kitchen where my dad sat reading the paper while mom was cooking dinner, the see me walk in and give me a huge hug then my mom cried, “oh Alex your alright I was so worried honey”, I looked at her with confusion then my dad jumped in, “you don’t remember what happened do you son”. I looked at him with the same puzzled look he had now explained that once I fainted from finding out the shadowy figure was bill, he called them up to come get them once they got there you friends left by then leaving a note in your back pack so we took you home and laid you in bed, a doctor came and looked at you and said you would be out for a couple minutes but you’ve been out for a week and ½. AHHHHHHHHHHHH!! I’ve been out from school for a week, “in ½” my dad reminded. I started pacing around the room then a though accord to me, “dad why was bill messing with us how did he make us get into all the games”? my dad answered “oh because bill is an evil wizard and he was testing his latest spell on you kids because his geanie pig named Test dummy ran away and he needed something to test it on…………………..” I looked at him then went up stairs. I laid there on my bed freaked out when all of a sudden I remembered my mom said something about a note I looked through my back pack and saw a paper which read, Dear Alex, We hope you feel better after that bazaar experience we just had we had no idea you would faint like that, anyway the bill guy that trapped us in those games, yea after we got out he kind of destroyed all of our houses from here till when ever we are going to live together in an apartment as friends and neighbors until we get the houses fixed I that jerk gets to your house we have an extra bed you can use if you want, so hope you wake up soon and we’ll all see you later

Signed, Catalin27, Jonathon and Julian

PS: Caitlin wanted to use that name! : 3

As I finished the letter bill charged right up to our house shouting, “Alex, YOU AND YOU FRIENDS HAVE RUINED MY EPERIMENT AND THEREFORE YOU MUST PAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” he held up a little ball in his hands and he shouted and I sall him through the window I laughed at him and said “hey what are you going to do with that break a window, but that was a stupid move on my part as he had a cup of water and dropped the ball in to it, and stepped back behind our car as the ball sank to the bottom my smile soon turn to a frown when the whole cup exploded and blew up our house as my family and I fell to the ground he came to me picked me up and laughed in my face but as he laughed my friends all jumped up behind him tackling him to the ground, beating on him. We had are revenge that day but, I was still scared to death to play those games again, and so that’s why I will never play those dangerous games again, 5 minutes pass by, out the window Caitlin appears “hey Alex want to play Russian rulet?” “yea Caitlin I’ll be right down,”………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………alex looks at the audience “what just because it’s a game that you shoot people doesn’t mean its dangerous?!” 2hrs later, in the newspaper the headline Boy killed by playing a game of chance or should we say shot!!! :(

The end
