The Year 10,000

The Year 10,000
by Rana Alqasem

“Trick or trick!” Alex yelled at the door . Alex was trick or treating. Alex was a pretty young girl but she would scare you to death and I mean death. The color of her eyes were black .Her heart was like a moonless sky. She would look at you like you were dead or like she would want to kill you. If you see her she would have red gloves on and say red is the color of blood and blood is death! The door in front of her stayed shut. Alex ran down the steps as on her way to the next house. Crash! A noise came from the creepy woods. “What’s that?” Alex shouted. Alex went in the dark woods. She saw a house, and went up to it to trick or treat. Alex rang the door bell. DING DONG. Suddenly, something grabbed her legs. She felt something just pulling down. Alex tried to pull herself up but she could not so she just gave up. Alex closed her eyes and suddenly she found herself in the year 10,000. She knew she was in the year 10,000 because kids were screaming “IT’S THE YEAR 10,000.” It looked like a new town. The grass was shiny as gold, the houses were made out of gold, even the food was made out of gold but you could still eat it. “If I go trick or treating I can get lots of gold candy” Alex thought. She went trick or treating in a blink of an eye. As she was walking she saw her house. It was made out of gold. “What’s that?” Alex exclaimed. It was a bag full of gold that will last her whole life. Alex grabbed it as fast as possible, then went to the house next door. She rang the doorbell then something grabbed her legs again. She knew that she should try everything to escape because not every day you get gold candy Alex thought. She tried to release herself from the grip of the hand that held her, but nothing worked. She gave up and she went back to year 2007 with a bag full of gold that will last her whole life. She still dreamt about the year 10,000. She knew she would go back there someday and until then she was stuck in year 2007.
