One Way Path in the Past
Chinese International School, Litt, Eli - 9
On an island, in the Greater Bay Area, that no one knew existed except for the civilians who lived there,
there was a boy named Alex. He had a younger brother named Sam who was born when the Greater Bay
Area was launched.
One Saturday morning, Alex and Sam were sitting in the living room waiting for their parents to wake up.
Somehow, the brothers had found a way to get bored. Real bored.
Sam started singing out math problems “1+1=2, 2+2=4, 4+4=8, 8+8=16…”
“STOP!’ shouted Alex. “STOP! I’m trying to remember.”
“Remember what?” asked Sam.
“Remember when the Greater Bay Area was launched” replied Alex.
“Tell me about it” insisted Sam.
“OK, here we go”said Alex. ”When the Greater Bay Area was launched, it was very popular. It was split
into three regions. Waver (HONG KONG), Slitlit (MACAU) and Huff (SOUTH CHINA). We are in the
sea region. It's called Thegonshua Sea (South China Sea), near Waver. It is known to be popular because of
the language spoken here - Cantonese!”
“Let's go on an adventure!!” said Sam.
“NO!! We can't. Mommy and Daddy will wake up soon.”
Suddenly, a huge wind pushed them fast, so fast that they went back to the time when the Greater Bay Area
was launched. The wind was so strong that Sam couldn't stand up.
He shouted, ”HELP! We went back in time.”
The boys were scared. They wanted to go back home.
They began to run.
They ran to a construction site. It was huge. They didn't notice a huge sign that read, ”Greater Bay Area
Launching Today.”
They kept running. They were looking for a path back to their time.
Sam and Alex soon came across a weird looking place. They entered to see what was going on. The security
was tripled but somehow the boys got through. When they peeked inside they saw animals being hurt. Sam
started to cry.
The boys ran super fast that they time-traveled back to the time they were from. They landed in a crime
scene. Alex ran and hid and called the police. A big wrestler had started the crime and started attacking them
but the brothers started using teamwork to defeat this super angry man.
“Dumb, bad wrestler!” said Sam.
While one brother distracted,the other would hit him.
”Yow! Ooof!!” You could hear the wrestler being hurt.
After that, the police showed up and arrested him. The boys were then escorted home where their mom
and dad were happy to see them.
When their mom asked why they did it, they would play the blame game.
