thoughts of not reaching the acer traini in time, quickly falls asleep.
Dr. Murphy wakes up and takes out his recorder. “Day 2: Search for the acer traini will
really begin today. Last night was the first sign of the invasion. I only have a few days, and in
this time period its not going to be easy. Haven’t left the cave since I arrived. It’s raining today,
so perhaps I can leave without being detected. President of Madagascar, Dr. George Murphy.”
He takes out his GPS and programs in the coordinates of the acer traini. “Due East 15
kilometers” reads the GPS. He peeks out of the cave and sees nothing. He begins to head east,
towards the acer traini, en route to possibly saving the Earth.
After walking for awhile, hiding from occasional dinosaur that would come near, he gets
hungry and pulls out his time travel food. The label reads “Goat Liver” (because we all know
goat liver is the only food able to survive time travel). He proceeds to pull a tab on the bag and
out pops a freshly cooked goat liver. Not thinking that he is still in a time where carnivores with
keen smelling senses roam the land, he hears the sound of the ground exploding underneath
him. As he finally realizes what he has done, he rapidly urinates on the piece of meat, hiding the
scent. He kneels in a bush to hide, where a huge T-Rex appears with his cute little arms,
searching for the scent. Upset, the T-Rex sits and starts to cry hysterically and says, “I just want
friends!” *takes a saw out and tries to cut his arms off.* But, with them being too small, he can't
reach to cut either one off. This makes him even more upset. He proceeds to cry even harder,
and starts to sing “Where Did You Go” by Fort Minor. Okay a little too dramatic for a short story.
Anyway… The T-Rex leaves, and yes, the man still eats the liver. He continues on his
journey to find the acer traini. All of a sudden, his cell phone yells, “Oh no! they’re almost here”.
He starts to run, watching his GPS. He continues east, ducking behind trees and into caves
when necessary. “This won’t end well,” he thinks.
After several more hours of travelling, he finds a cave to rest for the night. He pulls out
his voice recorder. “End of day 2. Rain has stopped, but clouds are still overhead. Witnessed a
dinosaur try to cut his arms off, then fail miserably and cry his eyes out. Have made progress on
