Topic: Everything that you draw comes to life. What do you draw?
Everything that I draw becomes real. Well, the first thing that I draw is something which the world didn’t invent before. For example, I draw a machine that get you back in the time. But, wait, this machine gets you in the future too. So I used this machine to get in the future. I heard all the plans to robb a bank, a diamond, a shop etc. In 2023 I will be known as Mr. Hero. The second thing that I draw are my heroes when I was a little child. I thought one evening to invite all my heroes in one party. The guests were Naruto, Vegeta, Superman, Batman etc. The party started when my heroes arrived from the sky. Do you know Naruto is a very funny man and he decided to bully Batman because he is really shy. He already cried but Batman stopped when the catwoman arrived. He had fallen in love with her. Well, from a shy man, Batman started to be bossy. I , as a romantic guy, decided to play a tango for the loved birds. Batman and the catwoman decided to dance. In fact, they danced very well. I was surprised by the Batman when he kissed her and the other heroes applaused for them. Well, the party went on and we enjoyed it. The third thing I draw, are some animals that are called ostrasupiens, spapeziatto and codidianesess. The first animal that is ostrasupiens looks like cat with no legs and hands but with winx. The most beautiful thing in ostrasupiens are the eyes. They are black but in presence of sun, the eyes become violet with green and in presence of water they become a deep sea color. Another thing that ostrasupiens can do is to fly over 100m. It is incredible, right? They also can fight with lows because they are strong. Ostrasupiens are beautiful animals. The second animal that is called spapeziatto can do everything. They can dance, jump, sing and the most important thing in that they can change into spaghetti and I can it them all because they can regenerate themselves. The third animal that is called codidianesess is very cool animal. It likes to wear Gucci, Prada, Valentino and Victoria’s secret. So, this animal is a trendy animal. IF I draw everything and becomes real, it would be awesome.

Prompt: Everything you draw comes to life. What do you draw?
With this ability, I became a magician and my pencil: my hat. I can create everything from there, but the actual problem is what to create?! I have to look thoughtfully at this prompt because if I make a mistake in choosing, it may take down the whole earth. So, there are many desires which I want to make them real, and this is my great chance.
Firstly, I would draw a bacteria (the ugliest one) and I would put a giant red cross over it.
Secondly, I would draw a teleporter, like the ones I have played with. With this teleporter (I hope it is very big), I would put all the trash of our universe in there and I would select the destination “nowhere.” Then I would click, “Return when finish teleportation” and would press (very, very, but very thankfully) “Start.”
Of course, I would draw a portable commander of the teleporter, which would take me everywhere.
Thirdly, I would draw a machine (in the size of a matchbox) that can move things only by “rays” without touching them. With this “portable healer,” I would help a lot in surgery. There, I would use it to catch the sun and to make it stay all the time very close to the earth. (Of course, this would result in a forever summer! Cool, huh?)
Then, I would draw the galaxy organized as a city with rockets as cars and the planets, as buildings. Creating this would be great fun, because I could spend my summer in Jupiter, make a visit in Pluto, stop for a drink in the sun and come back to earth.
After all these drawings, I will keep drawing. I would draw a giant table with a lot of chairs around it. There would be seated the presidents of every country in the Earth. Also, there would be seated all the delegates of every planet in the universe. With this table, of course, there would be peace forever.
I would draw a jar, which gets always filled with money. I would draw a button over it with which I can make it invisible. (Of corse, I would always protect the jar, especially from politicians!) With this jar, I would help every poor person in our planet.
After all these drawings, I would have made a whole (even though very big) drawing. It would express something like this:
I would put all the illness and trash of the earth in my teleporter, and send them to nowhere. I would help the poor with my money after our universal meeting for dividing the budget. I would transport some of it securely by my matchbox to some places in the galaxy (besides the earth).
Thank you for your time,
By someone with a lot of dreams.

Prompt: Everything you draw comes to life. What do you draw?
One day, when I was just six, I was controlling my grandparents’ box. For them it was like a treasure. Suddenly I found a pencil. It was strange. It changed its colour. First it was black like the night sky. Then it was brown like the bear’s fur. And then it was orange like carrots colour. In the garden was a big wall where I could draw everything that my heart wanted. I started to draw. I loved cats, so I drew a black cat in the wall. I also drew a flying carpet. I dreamt to fly with a flying carpet. I felt myself tired, so I went to home.
Tomorrow I tried to found the pencil to drew another animal or thing, but unfortunately I couldn’t found it. I went to garden to look for it, but what to saw? Instead of the black cat, and carpet, on the wall there was nothing. I felt a little bit scared. I couldn’t understood what was happening, so I think that the pencil was just a great dream.
When I went inside of the house, I heard something, a voice that comes from the kitchen. I went there to find out what was happening, but what to saw: the black cat that I drew yesterday was looking for food in the fridge. I was so happy because finally I would have a cat as a friend. In the same time, I felt a little bit shocked. Suddenly, I heard a voice: “Is there some milk? I can’t live without it. Hey, you have got some milk for me?” –said the cat.
“Youuuu! You can speak. Oh my God. I must tell to many” – said I.
“Oh, my honey! She can’t see me, and also she can’t hear me. You are the one, because you give me here: in “Humans World!”
“What do you mean?” – asked I.
“Come on. Give me some milk, please, and then I will show you my planet. So give some milk, pleaseee!!!!” said the cat while her eyes took white color, like the moon.
“Of course!” – said I.
When the cat drunk all the milk started presenting: “Firstly, thanks so much for milk, Olta. Ok. I’m Catherine. I came from ‘Sandici.’ I’m sure that you haven’t heard about it, but you can visit it. With me and Candy. Oh, sorry. I forgotten to present Candy, the flying carpet that you drew yesterday. Oh, she can’t speak.” – said cat. “Hi! Can we go to ‘Sandici?” I can’t wait!” said I.
“OK. Come here Candy. Come here Olta and give me your hand. To Sandici!”
We traveled with a very big speed. Suddenly, Candy stopped. I opened my eyes. I saw an unusual place. Instead of houses, were sweets. Sugar and Ice-cream, was everywhere. Instead of peoples were animals that could speak. “Wow. I can’t believe it. It’s, it’s like a dream where you don’t want to wake up.” – said I.
We went into a big ice cream. It was Catherine’s house.
“This is my house. That house over there is Dincy’s house!” – said Catherine. “Would you like to meet him?”
“Sure!”
When Dincy saw me, smiled and summoned Catherine to told to her something. Catherine’s face was whiter as stars.
“Okkk!” – said she scared, “but why?”
“Because she is a human and our queen love to eat them. So, from this way we can be her loyal servant.
“I can’t she’s my friend. The queen will kill her” – said Catherine.
“The queen will kill you too!” – said he.
“So, Olta would you like to meet the greatest of our world, Sabrina, our queen.” – said Dincy.
“Ok” – said I. I didn’t know but I wasn’t sure to follow them or not. I felt scared. I run away from them and tried to find the door to go to my world.
“Hey, where is she going. Spdiatrium!” said Dincy and from his hand came trap nets, which catched me.
“Let me go home. I’m not here to punish you. I just came to visit you” I said.
“Hey the queen is coming.” – said he. Suddenly, Candy came here with a very big speed and cut the nets. I boarded on him. We started flying to went far, far way from them.
“Nooo! You can’t leave from there! Destroidum!” – said the queen. Candy destroyed instead of her were just some fiber thread.
“Oh no Candy” – said I and my eyes were full of tears.
Sabrina chased me and puted me in a cage.
“Oh no I’m gona die now!” – said I and started crying.
Suddenly something appeared on my mind. It was an idea.
“Hey, Catherine! Catherine please, answer me! I think we were friends. Why?! Why do you do that?!” – said I.
“Olta I haven’t got another chance. They will kill me.” – said she.
“They also will killed me.” – said I.
“Olta, please. If I save you, the will call me ‘traitors.’ They will cremated alive.”
“Please, help me to get out from that cage and I will promise you, that I’ll take you to live with me in my world! I promise! Please, help me Catherine! I need your help.”
“Really? Oh, I mean, what can I do to help you?” – said the cat.
“With your claws, you can catch the key. The key, that the queen has on her pocket. If you catch it you can help me to get out from that cage. Then I will scream “To Earth” and we will be safe.” – said I.
“Oh that is so easy. I can make a magic! Wait, how does it call hmm… Oh yeah. I remember it. So: ‘Sebetumium!’” – said Catherine. Suddenly I see only white everywhere. I closed my eyes, I saw myself in front of a big door.
“Now, Olta. Open the door and let’s go to earth.” –said Catherine.
“Of course! To- AAA. What is happening?”
“You can’t leave Catherine. Adagiuom!” – said the queen.
“What? No!” – said Catherine.
“Catherine! Nooooo!” – said I.
“Olta go! Save yourself. Forget me. I’ll be right there.” – said Catherine.
“Come on! You can do it! Make a magic. Whatever you want! Just save yourself!” – said I.
“Don’t over do vain! They catched me! Come on! You must save yourself! Goodbye, Olta. Goodbye, my friend” – said she.
“To Earth!” – said I. Opened my eyes. I was home.
“I’m home now! I’m home! Yeahhhh! Oh, Catherine! Where are you?” – said I. I remembered what had happened. “Oh, I’m sorry!” – said I.
I needed some time to understood that Catherine couldn’t be with me anymore. However, I bought another cat, but she couldn’t be like Catherine. I didn’t stop drawing on the wall, but the pencil wasn’t magic anymore! I can’t believe that she isn’t with me anymore. I really want to meet Catherine, just once. Who knows? Maybe I will meet her one day, but I’m sure, not today.
That’s all, guys. I really hope that you like it!!!!!!!!
