The Cursed Sandwich
I was a cabin boy for the British ship, "The Allegiant",
when one day we were sailing by the void that holds our world from the real,
giant world. (Our world is a pretty small world. It's just like your world,
except the tallest we will get is four inches tall.) Meanwhile, two sailors on
the deck, named Tubby Ted and No Eyed Pete, were having lunch. Tubby Ted
quickly gobbled up his sandwich and his gaze fell upon No Eye’s sandwich.
With his eyes probably as wide as the ship itself, Tubby Ted quickly grabbed the
sandwich from No Eyed Pete and took a BIG bite! No Eyed Pete, who was probably
confused, started to flail his arms looking for Tubby Ted and his missing
sandwich. No Eyed Pete, accidentally slapped Tubby Ted in the back sending
Tubby Ted tumbling to the ground and the sandwich flying through the air,
penetrating the void that keeps our worlds apart, making a great, loud noise.
As the crew rushed to the side of the ship to see what could have happened, the
void started sucking water into your world. The Captain shouted, "Raise
anchor and set sail, away from the void!" but the current was too strong,
from the great rush of water pouring through the void. Before he could say, "Argh!" the
rush of water had pulled the ship too close. They were going over. "Hold
on, Me Hardies!"
He shouted. I grabbed the mast so tightly, that if I had
squeezed it any tighter, it would have left a mark in the wood. As the ship was
hurled through the void, I thought to myself, "It's ok. There's probably
just more water on the other side", but no, there wasn't. I felt the ship
beginning to lean forward, as if we were going down a waterfall, and then, I
had a feeling as if I could float on air. I gathered enough of my strength to
peak out at what was happening, and then I noticed, "Uh oh! We're
falling!" We were falling so fast and so hard, we landed in a great
lake, sort of. This lake was a peculiar one. It looked like there was a
ginormous couch in the corner of the lake and a chair in the middle, with a few
huge bananas floating in the water. Some of them were the size of our ship.
Then the crew all gazed their eyes to the ocean, and I thought to myself,
"What are they looking at?" I walked over to the side to see for
myself. At first I saw a big, brown, really chubby and cute creature. We
all went to the side of the ship where the creature was and Tubby Ted said,
"Ah, it's so cute!" but he changed his mind when the creature opened its
mouth and made a great big noise, which sounded like a bark. The cook, Bobby,
said "Well what do you know fellas? It's a dog!"
The ginormous dog opened its mouth and sucked in the water, as
if it was drinking. We, being very close to it, were getting sucked in as well.
Annoyed by this happening again, the captain said, "Hold on, me Hardies!"
As the ship was about half way in, all the crew rushed to the opposite side,
but then the dog's mouth started to close and chomped the ship in half. Our
ship was sinking, so we all grabbed onto a barrel, or anything that floats. A
few of us grabbed onto Tubby Ted. As the ship sank, faster and faster, we all
climbed onto a piece of the broken deck that was floating quite well. After
about fifteen minutes of silence, the captain proclaimed, "This is all
Tubby Ted's fault!" Tubby Ted replied saying, "No it's not!
It's the sandwich's fault. You know I can't resist tuna!"
