Runaways


Author’s note: Today I was having trouble thinking of what to write so I just decided to think as I write. Hopefully this might turn out well.

                In the town of Pewaukee, Wisconsin, Seth had been running from police for quite some time. He had been driving his motorcycle for a while and he was running out of gas. He was about to jump until a giant 15-seat car drove up next to him. Driving the car was Jack. He opened the passenger door and yelled for Seth jump in. Once Seth was in the car they drove towards the school district. On their way, they called their friends and told them to come in front of the school. Once they arrived, their 11 friends, piled into the back seats. Jack told everyone that they were going on a road trip while running from the cops.

                Before they left town, they went through a Taco Bell drive through. They also stopped at Wal-Mart and bought loads of snacks and movies for on the road. Just before they reach Chicago, they stopped at a RV retailer. They bought the largest RV with the penny they found outside the building. They then made shifts for driving. Seconds after hitting the road again, the police were right behind them.

                Once they reached Chicago, they stopped at a gas station and bought gas, more movies, subs for dinner, and 2 lottery tickets. They drove for two more hours before they found a spot to hide in a state forest. When they woke up, a cute family of beavers was outside. Jack decided to adopt them. Once they were on their way, they stopped at a pet store to get beaver food. Seth asked Jack how he got all this money and he said he found it in his couch. They got McDonald’s for breakfast and decided to drive to Maine. When they were at a gas station in Indiana, they met Andrew Luck. He said that he wanted to come too. Seth didn’t want him to but he gave in when he was bribed with 750,000 dollars and a shiny penny.

                Jack decided that he wanted to go to Texas first. It was 1 A.M. when they finally got to Dallas. Jack was walking to a Target when he ran into Tony Romo and Jason Witten. They wanted to come too. Jack agreed under one condition, that they would buy 3 more RVs. The next morning on the way out of town 3 more RVs were purchased and hooked up.

                Five hours later, in Arkansas, they ran into a huge family. They called themselves the Duggers. Tony Romo said that they have a TV show that he watches. Jason told them to get on and it was too late for Jack to stop them. By nightfall, They reached Greensboro, North Carolina. Theo, one of Jack’s friends, said his cousins lived here so they went to their house. They joined the crew bringing a fridge full of food.

                The next day they arrived in Maine at 6:30 in the afternoon. The three football players went out fishing. They came back with 46 lobsters, 51 crabs, and 4 buckets of shrimp. The group had a feast. Just before they finished, they were surrounded  by police. One officer walked up to Seth. He said, “Why were you running from me? I just wanted to ask you if you were the person who caught the home run at the Brewer’s game last week. However, since you ran from us, why don’t we have fun chasing you again. I’m giving you 15 minutes from the time your car’s engine starts.”

                Seth told everyone to get into their assigned RV and bring some of the food and movies with them. In 10 minutes, they were on the road again. In the car, was Jack, Seth, Theo, and the beavers. After 15 minutes, they were almost to Canada. Jack thought that if they drove across Canada and enter the U.S. again in Washington, the police would have trouble finding them.
                After driving for one and ½ days without stopping, the crew had reached Seattle. It was a Tuesday morning and the night before the Green Bay Packers had lost to the Seahawks. Seth ran into three Seahawks players, Russell Wilson, Golden Tate, and Marshawn Lynch. They bought another trailer and hooked it up.  It was late afternoon when the group arrived in the Rocky Mountains. The decided to build a permanent camp in a clearing the found. In the middle of the camp, they made a semicircle of RVs around a camp fire.

                The next morning Seth, Jack, and Matt, another friend, went to a nearby town. They came back with two new pickup trucks plus the original car full of food.  They made 50+ trips throughout the day bringing building supplies, tools, and clothes to the base. They also brought one more RV. By the end of the day, they had built 3 small cabins to cook in, a wall around the base with a raising gate, and a pet hotel for the beavers.

                Throughout the next month, they had constructed a mansion that had ports for each car and RVs to dock in and a helipad for the new helicopter they purchased. Then, after a month of searching, the police spotted them. They were so impressed of the fort that they asked if they could join too. Seth and Jack let them. 

                They grew stronger and lived happily ever after. Except, that’s not what happenned. No one likes stories that end that way.  They colony grew so strong that they began taking over the state of Colorado. The government soon noticed this and began to attack them. Just before they launched the attack, Damian Cray (from Eagle Strike Alex rider series) had launched every missile the US owned at Colorado. The colony ended in a giant fiery ball. The lesson here is: if you catch a home run, give the ball to the person next to you.

  1. Nice story. Maybe next time you could make your story flow a little better, instead of stuff happening right out of the blue. Also, check your conventions, there were a few spelling and grammar mistakes. With your conclusion you could say what you wanted the reader to get from the story, without saying "This is the lesson...". Overall a pretty good, and funny, story.
