After a day of school I came home tired. I was feeling weird that day. I think it was from the milk. So as soon as I got home my cat started to follow me like she was in danger. Then I stopped and asked her what was going on and then she just started to talk. For a moment I lost my feelings. As soon as I woke up my cat started to talk. I was so amazed even though I’ve always wished for my cat to talk it was weird. So she told me everything. She told me for the “catland” I just couldn’t believe my cat would talk so most of the time I was just staring at her and watching her lips move. And I think she told me something about a King Dog which was destroying her kingdom and her queen locked in a small room. So after hearing those things I just want to help her. She said that this was why she was crying all day. She took me at my garden. There she told me for a little hole in the wall. I put my door through it and it couldn’t fit. The cat gave me a weird juice and I turned into a fluffy white cat with orange stops. She said me to jump into the hole but just got from the other side of of the wall. She told me to imaginate so I could go to “CatLand”. I did that and amasingly I was in “CatLandia”. I saw a big castle decorated with black crystals. My cat was very sad. She told me how beautiful was it before kind “Dog” came. We ran fast as we could. At the way there we saw bulldog guardians. It was pretty scary when you were a cat. After we got in the castle we went at the prisons where the queen was staying. My cat found a key at the sleepy bulldog’s belt. After we opened the cage the queen thanked us. We even helped the other cat soldiers locked in cages. Very carefully we went to the king Dog’s room. It was very ugly.  It had dog slime on everything. After going inside the room me and other cats locked the king in a cage. I wore his pajamas. I was pretending to sleep in his bed. I called the guardians and told them to leave the kingdom. The guardians were very amazed. They thought that I was sick. One of them came close to me and I started to shout to him. Then he and the other dogs left from the CatLandia and never came back. As for the king we locked him as he did with the cats’ queen. As soon as they thanked me I woke up. It was just a dream. When I woke up my cat started to talk. And I screamed

-Whaaaat? It was pretty creepy.

If I was the size of an ant, everything would look gigantic to me. Even the smallest things would look big. Everything would be unepropriet for my small size. Imagine me walking to school. Normally it doesn’t take that long, but when you’re as small as me, it will probably take half an hour to go to the bus… actually don’t take the bus. We all know very well that buses get filled with a lot of people. I would get lost in a matter of seconds but hey why would you go to school in the first place? I can’t do homework because the pen and paper would be too big. Even if there was a pen small enough for me, nobody would understand my writing, because it would be too tiny for there big eyes to see. Life would be really hard if I was this small. And sure there might be a good side to this lifestyle but the struggles that you have to go through just outnumber the good things, but hey! I’m not as small as an ant and I will never be. Everything that I could do, somebody else could do the same things but ten times better. I would feel powerless. Sure it will be fun to try out for a little bit, but living like this would be unberebul, frustrating and really really hard.

Last Monday I was walking to school when I saw a little dragon. He was crying and I went to him and started crying with him. He was green and yellow, his eyes were shining. I gave him a hug so he felt good. We talked together and then he invited me to fly with him into the wonderful blue sky. It was fantastic trip. We went to the dragon land and we tasted some fire candys. They were very delicious, so we ate burgers, we walked together and we played with fire balls. The name of dragon was Spike. I asked him:

-Hey Spike. I think that we should come back home now.

-Yes, you should, but I’m going to stay here.

-What about me, how can I come back home?

-You are going to fly.

-But how?

-I will give you some magic potion so you will fly.

-Oh, really? This is amazing.

After I flew to home I went to bed and slept a bit. When I got up I watched TV and ate a dessert but…. Oh no! School!

I had forgotten the school but never mind, I had a great day with my little dragon. He was so cute…

One day I was cycling in the forest with my friends. It was a sunny day and we were having so much fun. But then a very strange thing happened. I was lost inside the forest and it got even more darker. I was scared because I was all alone and the trees were moving! I decided to escape from the forest but the trees were big and I didn’t have space to go! Suddenly the trees shown their faces and started to speak to me. They said:  How dare you step in the hidden forest! It’s unforgivable!”

-”I don’t know what are you talking about? What is “The hidden forest.””

-”It’s the only forest that the trees eat or speak. And I’ll tell you something. Do you know what’s our favorite food?”

“Human hearts!!!”

Then I started to run because I didn’t want to be dead meat. I cycled so fast that my legs were burning! When I escaped from the forest I told everyone that not to get in the forest because it was dangerous but not one listened to me and then I called the police so I could be sure if the trees were real. The police man never turned back. Then I decided to go again and kill those hungry trees!

I got a saw and pistol. I went there and the trees asked.

-What do you want again? Do you want to become an omelette that policeman?

-Oh no! Urghhhh, I’ll never forgive you!!!

Then I killed those trees with my pistol and cut them with my saw. They made a very nice and warm fireplace. Now those trees do not mess with humans anymore!

One day I woke up at seven o’clock and I decided to went in “The forest of flowers.” I listened, everybody went there didn’t come back. The weather was sunny and quiet. When I arrived in the forest I decided to eat a croissant. I put the croissant in to the flower. It was great and it was not scared. After 5 minutes I heard a voice: “Luka, bad boy, why did you put something on the flower.” I was scared and after that I saw some flowers and they walked around me and the trees were talking with me. The trees said: “You do a bad thing, and you must stay here for a long time and in the moment when you will be a good boy and you protect the nature you can go.” At the moment I was scared and I was talking with myself: “OMG what I did, and what I must do now.” I was talking with the trees: Please don’t do it again, please, please, please.” But they didn’t listen to me. I thinked it was a dream but it wasn’t. In the day when I was in the forest I did every thing to went home. I gave water and foods from the flowers and the trees. The trees, changed in people and this was amazing. I stay there for a year but it looked alike I stay for one hour and 30 minutes. The 364 day trees and the flowers went in a place where they wanted to talked with one people, but who was the people, I did not know. I went after the trees and the flowers, and when they arrived in the place I stay after a big stone. OMG what I was saying, it was the mother of nature! She was talking with the trees and she said: Luka is a boy with a big heart and he work a lot for you and he do something like wizards and after that I was sleeping, like I was in my bed but I was not, I was in the forest. When I watched the phone, was the same day and the same hour, when I do bad things. I picked up the croissant and I went home. Everybody can say it was a dream but in my pocket was a paper and it was written: “Thank you for everything, From Mother Nature and the plants.” After this day I protect the nature, every week I put in my village posters about nature because the people must protect the nature, like me.

The aliens finally came to earth. One alien got off the ship and as soon as he got off the ship disappeared. I was shocked that he could speak English. His name was Mike and he could do strange things. Tomorrow I went to school with him. When we arrived he turned into a human so no one would get surprised. I asked him and he said it was a disguise. After that we went to class. With his powers he made everyone be nice to us. He was really good at everything. Even math. He got good grades but every grade that he got went in my name. After math and science we went outside to play football or soccer. We chose soccer cause we were pretty good at it. He was a goalkeeper and I was a striker. When the enemy kicked the ball to our goal he became super fast and catched it. Then he threw the ball to me so I could score and I did that. Then we had lunch. I bought a pizza and he got something from space. After that school ended so we went home. When we got there my homework was magically done. So we played with cards. He won so I thought we could play “Fifa 18” So I got my x-box one controllers because I had the “Sc”. I won there. But after one hour he left. I’m still waiting for Mike to come back. He was a true friend.

It was the year 2034, a Japanese corporation created the first fully working robots. This made world-wide news and people had many different opinions on them some thought that they would be useful and do many chores for the humans, cook food, iron clothes and a lot more. But others had a more negative opinion, that they would be job-less and in the end the people wouldn't have any income and would be poor. But there was also the "conspiracy theorists", who thought the robots would take over the world, nobody took them seriously but little did they know that the conspiracy theorists were right. Five months into the year and the robotswere being used to do heavy jobs, people could also buy them and program them to do what they wanted. Eight months in and they robots had taken over a few jobs, leaving the employees with no money and job. People were now starting small riots to ban robots. And a full year laterit was complete chaos. the riots had gone out of hand. people were now homeless and groups had ben created that targeted robots and I would attack them. Due to this the Japanese corporation decided to update the robots so that they would be less capable and in turn would leave job spots open but something happened during the code updating. Robots now reacted differently, they were made agressive and acted weird. The corporation listened to the customer complaints and updated the code again, but it just made it worse . Customers were now claiming that they were getting attacked by the robots for no real reason, the corporation once again tried updating the code but nothing changed. All robots were returned to the company and were put in a room and turned off, but it was far too late, the robots escaped the roomand attacked the corporation and soon after the streets of the city. They had come become much to sentient and stole vehicles to travel around the world and conquer it. The year was now 2042, the robots had taken over the entire world. The surviving humans were now split in tribes and were trying to find ways to destroy the robots once and then for all. The remaining tech savvy humans found out that the reason why the robots changed was a simple code string mistake. But the corporation headquarters were destroyed by the robots, and the master computer to update all robots was destroyed too. It now seemed that the humans had no chance to defeat the robots. But a surviving employee of the japanese corporation had a spare master computer, a tribe managed to find it through the ruins of his house but they still needed some more components for it to work, after some more rummaging they found they missing components. After hooking up the computer the employee updated the code, and the robots were completely turned off. The humans had survived the Robo-Pocalypse and they could finally re-populate the world in peace.

As walking in the museum with my friends and my teacher, I saw something strange. I looked the paintings and there were moving. I asked my friend if they’re were also seeing this but no! they asked me if I was sick. Even I, believet that I was sick. I couldn’t believe that. Still walking at the museum, still watching at the paintings or statues and they’re were still moving. Finaly I decided to leave my friends and teacher and go to “talk” with my new friends. I thought I was on a UFO grown in the Earth but still with my super powers. It actually wasn’t like that the paintings had the real power. They could only move. I was pretty special for them because only I could see them. I went in Van Goyh paintings. There as a disaster. Everyone in the paintings was screaming running. They were really scared in that strange world of Van Goyh. I asked a women that was keeping her hands in the face, what was going one.

“The Earth end is coming. The strange things from sky are destroying civilization, you should go as fast as you can” – these words of her were actualy pretty scarying, but I remembered that they were only paintings with an imaginary world. I went at Mona Lisa. She was so beautiful, so charming. She was perfect in every aspect. Her world was calm but with so much secrets. Somewhere I saw some letters. Some where a secret village. The point is that Mona Lisa is only in her way. “hey, little, cute girl” – she said and “I want to know more about they’re secrets.” – I said.

“Some time it’s better to live in a world with secrets. A few things need to be unknown because there will be a total change, in your lifes. There will be like everything you thought you know and you love, would lose theyr point”.

“What about your secrets” – I said to her.

If there are so many archeologists or historians searching for me and they haven’t find anything yet, than this is the best way to go on” – and she finished the conversation.

I didn’t realize that she meant with those words but I leave her and at Aprodite statue. She was so beautiful even I stone. As I went to her, she emidiatly asked me if she was still the most beautiful woman in the world. I thought she was kidding, because I thought that she would ask for civilization or other things but she realy want to it. We talk so much about beauty in her age, or what was it like in the goddes time. It was realy be great talking with her. Then I leaven, searching for other things or dates or everything else. I went at Napoleon Bonapart, at Rome’s solders, at Einstein, and she realy talk things that I would never understand. I went at stone age peoples, they were weird, and so I visited almost the whole museum. The only one that I couldn’t meet was God’s painting. I really want to now all those secrets, or if there is any of these. But this weren’t mean to be. I left with so much questions, promised my self that I would come again when I could understand more.

Yesterday I was on a field trip to the art museum with my class. It was a beautiful day and I was very exciting. I was walking through the gallery and suddenly I realized that the people in the paintings gould talk to me. That was amazing! I couldn’t believe my eyes! Anyone could listen to them only I could hear them. After that I said: -“heyyy who is talking to me ? and suddenly I heard a voice next to me :-‘hello dear student!”! omg! It was Leonardo da Vinci. He was talking to me. I couldn’t believe that! I couldn’t talk at that moment I was facinated! And after that I started to talk….:-“hello errr I’m a student and I don’t know what to say. I have hundreds of questions to ask you. I don’t know how to start”. Leonardo da Vinci started to laugh and he said :-“don’t worry you can ask me for everything you want :”and the first question that I said it was :” who was the reason that you paint Mona Lisa?”. He said :-“ if you really know what is art you will find the answer of all your questions. But, it isn’t only for the art lovers. It’s for all the people who do everything realizing their dream. If you really want to realize your dreams that want a lot of work.” That answer make me forgot all the questions. That answer was really good. It makes me strong and makes me a good person. It makes me really happy too for following my dreams. And after that everything dissapeard. Anyone couldn’t talk anymore to me. Leonardo da Vinci saw that he make a strong person and he made that person strong too and he learned to learned to never “give up” , following your dreams.

I opened my eyes, but my vision was really blurry and I couldn’t see anything. Some weird metallic noises were coming from a place near me. I tried to move but my body felt so numb, I faited. After a few moments that felt like years, I was able to get up. I was in complete darkness. As I was trying to move, I touched something on the floor. It was a lighter. It was really small, but it still worked. I grabed it and started to explore. I didn’t remember why I was there in the first place. I climed up some stairs that led me to an old lady’s room. You could see that the lady who had lived there, didn’t have financial problems, because the room was decorated with expensive furnitures. As I was loking for clues, I came across some old photos. They seemed really familiar, but I couldn’t understand why. Then I started to have a terrible headache. I close my eyes and I tried to calm myself down. None of these things happened. Instead, I started to remember some small details ; my family, my high-school classroom, Lydia and john, my two best friends, some parties but nothing serious. Then I looked at the photos once again. The women in the picture looked terribly similar to me, but I could tell that I hadn’t seen her before. She had dark brow hair, full lips, brown eyes. She was stunning. She was smiling in the picture, while hugging a man, that looked like her boyfriend or fiancée. He was tall and wellbiult. They looked really happy. But, again, I had no idea who they were. I didn’t think much of it and I started too look for clues somewhere else. I climbed up some more stairs. A specific room caught my attention. I went inside and a lot a portraits were hanging on the walls. I was looking carefully at every one of them. Seemed like the family that had the house was filthy rich. Then I saw the woman and the man from the photos before. They were in one of the portraits. The woman was holding a small baby girl and the man was smiling at them. I looked closer so I could read their names. The first two names didn’t ring a bell, but the third one….. it was my name. I couldn’t believe my eyes. There had to be something wrong with the portrait. I started to panic. I was sheking and I tripped on something and I felt. Than another headache. Some more memories. A family fight. My father shouting loudly. My mother crying. Me running out of the house. Than it clicked. That night I found out that I was adopted-more like, my parents kidnaped me from my biological parents when I was a child. There excuse was that my biological parents were planning to live me but I didn’t believe a word coming out of their mouths. The same night, I decided to find my real parents. I searched for some documents and I found their names, photos and there address. Well there old one, because they had moved to another country five years ago. But I was determined to find out who they were. So I called my two best friends and we went to the house. Half way there, we realized that there were people following us. We split up and went inside the house, I fell and hit my head. That’s why I was at the house and the first place. I started sobbing and crying, realizing I was alone. I had no family, my friend were nowhere to be seen and I was trapped inside an old creepy building. I calmed myself down and I went on the first floor again. I was trying to open the door forcefully. I started to bleed but I was able to open it. I ran outside, even though I was pouring rain. I had to get out of that house. Something started ringing. I found where it was and I went to pick it up it was my phone. John was calling me I talk to him I told to come and get me. After a few minutes, I saw his car. I felt relieved, I went to his house and Lidia was there as well. After telling them what happened, I took a hot shower and reflected. I had no idea about I would do but I knew one thing: I had to be strong I had myself, my friends and that’s all I needed. Everything would be alright in the end.

I had a really horrible day my phone was broke, I had argued with my best friend and my books were stolen. The night came quietly and the sky was covered by a blue blanket full of shinning stars. I saw a star falling from the sky and I wished for order in this planet. The next morning I woked up in an extremly weird tower. The maid came in and called me “queen.” I was sure that I was dreaming so I played the role to enjoy that amazing dream. Later on I realised that I was the ruler of the Upside-down Earth. It was the twin planet of the Eath, their environment was the same buy the have complitely different atmosphere. What I want to say is that the nature there was amazingly magical and the humans were really polite. I had a wonderful morning there. I explained the castle with 509 rooms full of positivity and hope genies, one big zoo full of animals that were in dongon and wich were disappeared such as dinaosaurs, unicorns, Fenix etc. also we went to the hospital and visit the sick people also we helped the orphans. I loved this job because I like ot help people or to make them happy. We turned back to the castle when the soilders told me that. This world was becoming weak as the days went on. The Upside-Down Earth can felt her twin pain, so her heart was sad. At midday the flowers weren’t any more colorful, the sky was grey and the animals were scared. Suddenly we heard the rain noise, it was raining, there were the tears of the planet. I couldn’t do anything beside cutting the connection between the twins. I had to go to the sun and destroy the tope that connects two planets. We started out journey by entering a cosmic ship. During out journey a storm of metheors destroyed half of our ship, and one of my soilders dyed. I was desperated but I had to do it when we were close to the sun I saw that he was like a control machine. It has buttons and ropes for every planet in our system. I saw the Earth rope it was weak and there was written that Earth has only 10,000 years life. I was shocked but I remembered my aim and I cut the connection between the twin planets with the “Safini Cronos” the rock that commands time in both planets. I cut it and I felt a strong earthquake there. When we weren’t back t othe upside-down planet I saw that it wasn’t the same anymore but I was happy because it wouldn’t be destroyed with Earth. At night I had to left the place I was homesick and I couldn’t take the responsibility of a planet I was only 12 years old. After coming back I never went there anymore although I know the entering.

Everyone who wants to go there must go to a glass building in the heart of it. But only those with a pure heart can enter in. I’m happy because I had my crazy world to just like Liza.

I wake up with a strange feeling in my heart. I open my eyes and realize that I’, not at home. Strange noises every where, squecky doors and scary voices. I get up immediately from the floor. I am trying to understand what is happening. Then in a flash back I saw myself playing with my friends and they dared me to do here. When I was in the hall way I felt that something possessed me and I fainted.  Now I woke up in a floor, at the living room surround by thousand of old books. I open the door and see a dark shadow circling the hall. I shut the door loudly and when I turn around I see my favorite book at the book shelves – when I try to take it all of the books fall down and to my horror the first letter of the books titles form this sentence: GO AWAY WHILEW YOU’RE STILL ALIVE. I scream with the top of my lungs and open the door quickly. In the hall way I see a ghost and she says “do not be afraid I am the reflection of your spirit”. I freeze in horror and when I try to run away she says “I am part of your soul”. When I stopped for a while and she explain that the world have two types of creatures: humans and ghosts. All humans have another personality at ghost and I am yours. I can’t understand what is happening and I ask her for the sentence in the living room

So if you are part of my spirit my another personality how can you say it for me. She says that everything that I saw are my worst fear, this house, that sentence everything is part of my imagination. So I never played with my friends and they never dare me to go there. Then I realise that this house is part of my spirit and I open a interdimensional portol with my mind which can send me back home. I close my eyes and when I open them I find myself in my garden. I am home finally. Thanks to her now I can control my imagination, my soul and set myself free.

The newspaper came again and today while looking at it, I was feeling really strange. Even though I read it everyday excited for what’s gonna happen, today was different and I could feel it.

              The first page of it didn’t display anything exciting, however when I opened the second page I was shivering in fear. “Altima’s best friend will die today at 10 AM.” This written in huge black characters made my tears come out. AT first I didn’t want to believe it but I knew that at the end the newspapers was always right. The only thing I could do was to stop that from happening. But how in the world would I be able to change my own fate?

              I didn’t eat breakfast that morning and went out rapidly. It was almost 8 AM but I didn’t go to school like usual. I was waiting for my friend to come from her house after all I knew that she always would come later to school and today I didn’t care if I was late with her. When I saw her I asked if she was feeling okay or if she was feeling weird. She told me she was okay, looking at me in a suspicion way.

              At 08:05 AM we were at school. The teacher yelled at us for being late, and even though I was really embarrassed that was the last thing I was caring about at those moments. Two hours went by quickly. I was feeling stressed as I looked at my friend laughing with the other classmates. It was almost 10 AM, the bell rang and my friend said she wanted to go outside to get some fresh air, but how could I let her knowing what was gonna happen. At the end I couldn’t stop her, but at least I went with her so if anything happened I could protect her. We were outside and it was 9:59. That was the moment of truth, would I be able to save my friend and change the fate that the newspaper had written for me.

              All my instincts were twice sharper than usual. -Hey Amie, watch out! - a boy called my friend’s name as a ball was coming towards her. I knew what I had to do so I pushed her away as far as I could and while she fell down the ball hit my face strongly, but I was didn’t care at the end I was able save friend. I turned my rosy face smiling and crying from happiness but what did I see my friend laying down while her head was covered in blood. “No it could not be true, that wasn’t real.” These were the thoughts I had in my mind all of that time.

              -Oh my god you killed her!- a boy near me screamed. The teachers and some of my friends went out, they were all looking at me in a disgusting way full of fear in their eyes. At that moment I was just a common killer for them. I started crying, begging for an apology, begging for my friend’s apology. Then I heard my mom’s voice, that was the last person I wanted to see at that moment. I didn’t want to think her daughter was killer, but yet I couldn’t see her I could only hear her voice and I felt that I was really going crazy at that time.

              -Wake up… Wake up!- I heard my mom loudly yelling at me. I opened my eyes and yes it was all a dream. I was still shivering and my eyes were still teary, but I didn’t care after all it was just a dream. I got up quickly and called my friend to ask how she was or if anything had happened to her, but she said everything was fine and I finally felt calmness in my soul. I was about to get ready so I went to make my bed but what could I see, below the pillow there was the same newspaper. That said my friend would die. However when I opened the second page it read. “Altima saves her from death and becomes the school’s hero.” I was happy but enough is enough. I took the newspaper and burned it. Since then I haven’t got any new newspapers that tell me what’s gonna happen in the future. To be honest I’m much better without it.

We had been wandering in the woods for hours trying to find our way out, but every step we made, led us to nowhere. Every tree and bush looked the same and the foggy air didn’t allow us to see through. With the nightfall everything got scarier and scarier. Both me and my friend were hungry and cold and we felt terrified.  There’s truly no greater fear then that of never seeing your loved ones again. We sat hopeless on a hard rock waiting for God knows what, because no one was going to find us here. Suddenly, I heard something coming from behind a bush. What could it be? Was it the end for us? We rose to our feet and we stood there waiting our doom. To our surprise, what came out of that bush was no wild animal. It was a tall, young man. A very handsome one. He had hair darker than the night, a long face, skin as wight as snow, his jawline was so sharp, it looked as if it could you if you touched it.  His body was slender, but looked so strong. He wore all black, with his shirt revealing a bit of his chest. What was really mesmerizing about him, were his eyes. They were blue and deep as the ocean. Anybody could fall for them. A man this perfect only existed in fairytales. He talked to us with his soft voice, but we couldn’t understand a thing as we were both enchanted by the sweetness of his eyes and the tenderness of his voice. He took each of us by the hand and led us to a lake, the most beautiful one I’ve ever seen.

The image in front of me was wonderful and calming, but something didn’t feel quite right. Before I knew, the wonderful man no longer stood in front of me. Instead a pitch black stallion had taken his place. I felt my feet moving on their own. Against my will, I climbed onto the horse and so did my friend. A flashback of my grandmother came to me. I was sitting on her lap while she told me a story about the Kelpie who had fooled many young princesses and he had dragged them to his underwater kingdom. But no one knew what had happened to them afterwards.

My body wouldn’t move, so I gave up.  I could hear my friend crying and screaming for help. The stallion dragged us deeper and deeper into the water.  What would happen to us now?

*Kelpie- magical creatier, a shape shifter, can transform from human to a horse. Lives in forests.

Pershëndetje, ciao, bonjour oh god damn it! Hi there! Yes, I finally got English.

Sorry about that I was just fixing my language translator 2.0. Well hi again. I am Klejdi and I am an alien. Let me tell you the story of how I ended up in your stinky planet.

Back on Jordania, I was a hot shot marketing producer at “Trabue.” Trabue was a home meal deliverment service who teletransported food directly to your table.  I came from a rich family, so I was destined for greatness. But I had a secret. Every morning I got a newspaper that showed me everything that was going to happen in the next 24 hours. So I did great at school cause I knew the exam questions. I did great on work (later in life, duh) cause I knew what marketing choice was going to fail and knew which one was going to have success. I always knew what to say on dates, that’s basically how I got my wife. Lily and my two kids, Victoria my eldest and peter, my youngest. But one day it came black with a writing on the end in white. It read “This is the last one.”

I thought to my self “shit.” Was I gonna die? Or was my day just going to be boring? Was I about to get blind? I didn’t know what to do since I was able to read. I started getting this newspaper. I had never had a surprise in my life. I am 38 by the way.

My wife, Lily came up to me and immediately I threw the newspaper in the hole. By the way the hole is what you terrestials call a trash can. But in Jordania we have unlimited resources so we put a black hole in our “trash cans.” I got back inside. I ate morning helped my wife get the kids ready for school and went to work. Once I got there, I found out were trying to expand Trabue to a human delivery system. Trabue’s director and best friend John had been working on this for over a year. I needed to come up with a marketing plan. I worked on it all day but nothing was good enough. I went home so my creative thoughts could come back to me and found a man on top of my wife. I was shocked. After the awkward encounter with my wife’s lover. We argued for a long time, until the kids came home. I still didn’t know what to do about my job and apparently my marriage was falling apart. I was really thinking about running away from my problems. And it still shocked me the fact that my wife was cheating on me. I wean I work out every day. He wasn’t even that hot. Then I got a phone call from my dad my mom had just died. After I went to my mom’s funeral that day, I went home and talked it over with my wife for the sake of our kids happiness we were going to stay together. Than I finally got it. My marketing plan was going to be “To stay with the ones you love.”

The next day I was thinking to myself. Life is full of surprises but I managed to survive. I got to work and found out I was getting a promotion. Trabue was going to open up a new branch on Earth. So I went home and I got my family. And here I am on you stinky planet as the director of Trabue’s new director.
