SHARING STORIES

Out of This World
by Nick Koppenhofer

     In high places wierd beings live. Beings have four eyes and wings. Timetravel is not 
jointly made. On the planet Pluto lives beings called Netherman. They live in peace. 
Neptonians are bad invaders. They are mean to the Nethermen. Neptonians steal computers 
and mechanical animals. Neptonians use computers to turn monsterous animals to evil 
invaders. E.T snuck into enemy territory and defended the animals, tuned into Mother and 
freed them all. The mother of the Nethermen taught Neptonians to love themselves "tune 
into joining in, and stop." The Nethermen and neptonians joined friendships. E.T, the 
animals, Nethermen and Neptonians lived in peace and never were invaded again.
The end!
