Short Stories &

Poems

The Cat: Chapter 1

By: Adam Weisbrod

Once upon a time there

was a cat and his two friends

that were aliens. The aliens

were so nice to the cat.

First, one day when the cat

and his friends were

preparing to set the ship for

take-off the look

disappeared, and the weird

look was not a good guy.

Also, you can guess what

“it” was. That weird looks

home was CPS. CPS was a

true meanie and a bossy

woman, and CPS has a

whole army. When he shot

his SPC gun the two alien

friends turned into bad

guys, and then they became

part of his army. Then cat

turned into a bad guy. Mr.

Cat broke the alien’s

bracelets and the bad

butterfly came out. They

caught it in a net and then

they killed it. Mr. Cat was

still a bad guy and the two

aliens were good guys. The

cat had a fire sticking out of

his shirt so they had to use

strong cataclysm to destroy

the fire made to get cat’s

bracelet. After that, they

took cat’s bracelet and

6

broke it and the butterfly

came out. They got a net

and then they killed it. Then

the ship took off and then

they travelled to alien

world. They went in a circle

and the alien scanner

scanned them, and then

they were totally good to go

into alien world. It is

dangerous in alien world

because the witch in alien

world and her whole army

threw potions at the two

aliens and cat. When the

head witch of the army

threw it, it almost touched

the ship, but they were fine.

Then the ship threw a bomb

aiming right at the witches

bracelets. The bomb hit all

of the witches bracelets and

ten million thousand

butterflies came out of the

witches bracelets, including

the head witches bracelet

which had one hundred

million butterflies. Luckily

they had enough space in

the net to catch all the

butterflies. Then the head

witch and her whole army

disappeared into the alien

night. They lived happily

ever after.
