The Thing

By Keegan B

            One night three boys were outside when they heard something like elbows walking on the road and they were in the dark but still could see in the dark and they saw a girl walking on her elbows and they started running and the girl walking on her elbows ran after them and one of the boys fell into a ditch and the girl running on her elbows didn’t seem notice that she was now running after the other two boys and the boys saw houses and they ran to the houses the first house was locked the second house was locked but they broke the window on the second house and got in and the girl running on her elbows slowed down and she started to walking around the house to find a way in and the boy who fell in the ditch got out and he went the way the other boys went and he got where he saw the girl walking around a house and the girl saw a man walking so she ran to the man and she bit the man and ate him and the boy freaked out and the girl on her elbows heard him and saw him so she ran toward him but the boy ran and jumped through the window and he got up brushed his shirt and saw the other two boys and the boy told the other two to call the police but they said they tried to call the police but couldn’t because the phone line snapped so they looked at the grandfather clock to see what time it is and the time as 11:59 and they thought it had been 2 to 3 hours but they said why not go through the back door so they did and when they open the door the clock strike 12:00 and made a big ding-dong and the girl on her elbows heard the ding-dong and ran around the house and the boys ran the other way of the house and the girl on her elbows went inside and looked around and the boys were up in a tree house in a tree that was 4 stories high and one of the boys said “Why not run to the city and tell a police/agent to help us so we can get rid of this girl or thing so we can get this thing out of our lives!” so they ran to the city and the girl on her elbows saw them and ran after them to the city and when the boys got to the city it was still dark but there was some cars parked on streets and they saw a police station and they saw a agent in a black suit at a desk in a office at a computer and they entered into the office and they think he was hacking into the computer and they said “What are you doing?” and he said “What do you want?” “We need your help and fast!” said the boys and he said ok and he saw the girl running on her elbows and shot at her but she didn’t stop so he shot a sleeping dart and she slowed down a bit and she fell to the ground the agent in the black suit was from Area-51 so he call the base to pick up another species but she was a thing it looked weird and it woke up and bit one of the boys and call for they help and Area-51 got there and shot it with another sleeping dart and carried it away and the men in the black suits said they have been trying to captured “The Thing” for about two years and they said it might of ate of 50 people and the men thanked the boys for helping capture “The Thing” and the three boys and the men got together and took a picture and the boy who got bit was okay and the boys were happy that the nightmare was finally over.
