BOOM! CRASH!

“Follow me!” I yell.

“Down the tunnel! Down the tunnel!” I continue.

Man, what a mess I’ve gotten myself into. Let me explain, my name is Aaron Carper, and I am living ALL by myself. It all started 1 week ago…

It was April 9th, 2029, and I was outside of school and, oh wait, wrong one, sorry. Anyway, it was July 26th, 2029, and I went outside to check the mail, and I FINALLY had my new headphones. I also found a note for me, so I opened it and I couldn’t believe my eyes. I got invited to the Octopus game.

The Octopus game? What is that? I thought it was like the movie Squid Game, so I ignored it. But then another note said I HAD to go so I decided to go.

Right, when I got there, we started the first game: ESCAPE. Huh, pretty simple. it was a jail cell and I escaped easily. The next game was “Find The Button” and easy, it was right next to me, and I just got lucky. Then came Tug-Of-War and my team consisted of Lucas, Josh, Jalen, Blake, Jimmy, and Michael. We destroyed the first round, destroyed the second round, destroyed the third round, destroyed the fourth round, destroyed the fifth rou- ok you get the point until the last round which was close, but we won.

Lastly, we ran from squid, and we were with our teams. But right before it started, a voice on a speaker said: IF YOU LOSE, IT WILL RESULT IN DEATH and when it started, the squid can and we ran. BOOM! CRASH!

“Follow me!” I yell.

“Down the tunnel! Down the tunnel!” I continue.

Man, what a mess I’ve gotten myself into until the squid catches me. All of a sudden, I black out and I’m in my bed. Man, what a dream. I brushed my teeth, slipped on my shoes, and went outside to check if I finally got the new headphones, and I did. I also found a note and when I opened it, I couldn’t believe my eyes.
