No One
Debbie Abeyta

You have got to help me, no one believes me. I am telling the absolute one-hundred-percent truth, but no one will listen.

              I was sitting on the couch, quietly reading a book, not getting into any trouble like any normal fifteen year old boy. Mom came in the room and said “I have to leave; I’m going to run a few errands and will be back later.” She left and I continued to quietly read. I became hungry, so I laid my book on the table and went to fix a snack.

             Suddenly the door fell down; an elephant walked in ridden by a monkey. The monkey hopped down and drew all over the wall in pink crayon. Then he tore down the curtains and smashed the windows. The elephant climbed on the couch and crushed it. Then he knocked the TV on the floor and stomped on it. After the house was thoroughly destroyed, the monkey hopped back on the elephant and they walked out the door.

            At first I was too stunned to move. Then I snapped out of it and proceeded to pick up and save what I could. As I was doing this, an elf with maroon hair and green skin hopped in my bedroom window. He was followed by a really tall muscular man dressed like a purple monkey. The elf used magic to fix the house, and took a seat on the couch.
            The muscular man whistled; from nowhere, ten bears appeared, dressed in funny clothes. The elf said “I would like to use this house to train my bears.”

            “Are they for the circus?” I asked
            “NO!” He replied “Can’t an elf have dancing bears if he wants to?!” The muscular man sat next to the elf and watched him train his bears to dance. After a whole afternoon of practicing, the muscular man snapped his fingers and POOF, everyone vanished.

            Then it started to rain red fruit punch in the middle of the living room. I tried to find out how to turn it off. A miniature tiger followed by a miniature hippo skipped in the back door. They said, “Our favorite drink is red fruit punch. If we could please have a couple of gallons we will stop the rain and clean up the mess.” I gave them two big jugs to catch the punch in. Once they were filled up the tiger and hippos put lids on them and proceeded to skip across the room. There was a big flash of blue light and the hippo and tiger were gone along with the punch and the mess.

            The house was sparkling clean. I looked around and I was stunned, but I noticed something bright red out of the corner of my eye. It was my reflection in the mirror. The punch had turned me red from head to toe. My hair looked like a flame and my skin was the color of apples. I panicked and rushed into the bathroom to clean it off.

            I noticed on the floor a bunch of tiny raccoons. They were being ridden by tiny yellow men covered in big green dots. They said, “We are taking over the world and turning all humans in to tiny raccoons so we can ride them around. We like raccoons because of their fur, but we need some place to store them. We decided to store them in your bathroom; it is the best place. Who would believe a fifteen year old punk kid? And who would think to look here anyways? You can’t tell anyone because we put a spell on you. When you try to tell people what is happening, you will first spew out a bunch of elaborate lies before getting around to telling people about us. When they come in your bathroom to check, we will become invisible. At the rate we are going, the world will be ours by the end of the week and there is nothing you can do to stop us! Ah Ha Ha Ha!”

          So, that is what I did all day. You have got to help me, no one believes me. I am telling the absolute one hundred percent truth, but no one will listen.
