The Velociraptor at Night

You would never have guessed what happen with my friend David. The other day he wrote something really nice on my homework. However, I was not in the mood to write something nice back to David, and so I yelled, "David! I am so upset with you!", to which David responded, "Have you heard about the story of the Velociraptor at Night?". I was very intrigued to learn more about this Velociraptor at Night and the possibilities of his adventures were ringing in my head.


David started telling me that the Velociraptor at Night was from the Czech Republic and immigrated to the United States after seeing a photograph of John Travolta. He wanted to become John Travolta's best friend and so he took up a job working in a photography lab. Unfortunately, the Velociraptor at night is not very smart and did not realize the giant flaw in his plan. Thus, the Velociraptor at Night spent 47 years working behind the scenes of the photography lab developing pictures. One day, to his great excitement, the Velociraptor at Night discovered a picture of John Travolta and his family that he had been developing. So, the Velociraptor at Night grabbed his iPod and went to the location that John Travolta and his family were pictured at: A and W's.

The Velociraptor at Night spent 28 years sitting and waiting at the A and W's for John Travolta until he noticed a new sign at the A and W's. The sign said that "Velociraptors at Night are no longer permitted to sit and wait at A and W's for John Travolta", and so, the Velociraptor at Night had to wait outside, hopefully being able to catch John Travolta before he went inside the A and W's. Unexpectedly, the Velociraptor at Night became aggressive with a cleaning boy when the boy said that the Velociraptor at Night could not even wait outside the A and W's and it decided to take action against the A and W's.

He brought his story to Molly Ringwald and she and the Velociraptor at Night began protesting against the A and W's. They wore blue t-shirts because they determined that that was the best way to protest A and W's. Eventually, the Manager of the A and W's told the Velociraptor at Night and Molly Ringwald to stop wearing blue shirts because it was offensive to his heritage.

Following the Manager's announcement, Molly Ringwald and the Velociraptor at Night left the A and W's and began to plan a new course of action. They decided to play Scrabble for 5 days straight to gain inspiration. However, due to the Velociraptor at Night's inability to pick up Scrabble pieces, the plan failed. Following the Scrabble, Molly Ringwald and the Velociraptor went and bought some new spiffy shoes to at least look respectful while they protested, despite their lack of plan. Suddenly, a representative of McDonald's recognized the Velociraptor at Night and Molly Ringwald from their earlier protests and helped them destroy the A and W's reputation by claiming that A and W's was the reason for spontaneous combustion.

Following the story, David said to me "... and I swear to you, that is exactly how it all went down."

  1. Very nice, but first there are some things I would like to point out, since you will be minoring in English when you get to university. The word "happen" in the first line needs an "ed" in order to make it past tense, you have placed a preposition at the end of a sentence in, "So, the Velociraptor at Night grabbed his iPod and went to the location that John Travolta and his family were pictured AT", and should it not be "bought some spiffy SHOES", not "shows"? So, there are some minor editing issues, but other than that, I thought this was great! When I was away the day the class wrote these, a bunch of people told me that you had read your work out loud and that it was hilarious...they were right. And, the fact that David Lindsay is in this story makes it just about the best story I have ever read.

    Nice work :)
