20 kilometers back into the future
Sam and Joe were talking about life beyond
Earth when Sam mentioned that recently Earth’s communication satellites picked
up an alien television station. He was preaching to Joe about how good the
programs were when suddenly an unusual tremor shook the school. Thinking that
it was because of the nearby volcano ‘Mt Rainer’ they ignored the tremor and
continued their walk in the school lawn.
Then all of a sudden Joe bumped into a
massive tree. Both of them were wondering how the tree got there when shrill voices
came from outside the campus which compelled them to close their ears.
They found it impossible to believe on
their eyes when they saw a group of ( get ready for it ) velociraptors ( a
species of dinosaurs) pass by the gate of the school.
Terrified, Joe said “I really want to check
if these are the pets of some crazy, psycho, Jurassic dude, but I am really
scared and I think we need to run” Joe
said as one of the creatures stopped in its track to sniff the air for the
smell of live meat.
They ran towards the building as if their
lives were depended on it, which was true. They entered the building and closed
the big heavy gates just in time before the big, bulky body of the velociraptor
hit the gate with enough force and momentum to turn over a large pickup truck.
They stood there horrified and wondering as to how could this be possible.
Moments later they heard the shattering of glass and saw a four feet long
silhouette coming in through the window. Realization dawned on their faces and
they ran for a safe place, which didn’t exist at the moment. They knew that a
velociraptor could reach speeds of upto 40 miles an hour; nevertheless they
struggled to maintain as much distance from the raptor as possible. Eventually
Sam lost his balance and tumbled. The monster loomed over him, drooling all
over his face. As the monster’s jaw inched nearer to his face, a shadow fell
across the hall, followed by the sound of gunfire which pierced his eardrums. The
creature fell to its side. Sam stood up and saw his coach holding a rifle with
a steaming barrel.
Both of them were still recovering from
their shock when coach said that they had kept that rifle in the school just in
case some wild animal manages to come into the school from the forest.
Coach ordered them to go and inform everybody
about this while he put grills on all the windows so that nothing like this
could happen in the near future.
When Sam and Joe told everyone about the
situation nobody believed what they were saying. When nobody believed Coach had
to come and clarify. Everyone agreed to rendezvous in the school amphitheater
in half an hour.
Half an hour later all of them were present in the amphitheatre. Coach
addressed the gathering.
“We are in a
situation, in which survival is the topmost priority. We are in the Jurassic age!
Now I want all of you to do as I say. All the students are required to pack all
their dearest things in their bags. Teachers are required to bring the
ammunition and firearms present in the school. You also need to ready all the
vans and buses we have in the school. In addition to that I want some of you to
get enough food rations, water and medical supplies for all of us. I’ll meet
all of you again in the school lawn exactly after an hour. Everyone scrambled
out of the amphitheatre.
As coach had
instructed, everyone arrived at the rendezvous point within an hour and again Coach
addressed the gathering.
“We can travel to the
present by travelling 20 kilometres in any direction. Don’t ask how I know this
it’s a long story that Sam and Joe will tell you later, I told them the story
while you all were getting ready. So lets go.”
The journey went on
for thirteen kilometres uninterrupted after which they saw a huge dinosaur
ambling parallel to them. Coach said that it was a herbivorous dinosaur and
that it won’t hurt them.
They were only 2 kilometres
from their destination and they could see the time portal when a large group of
nearly 40 velociraptors came out of nowhere and started chasing them. The drivers
sped in an attempt to lose the raptors and the teachers shot at them with the
rifles that they had. When only 12 of them were left coach yelled “They have
come too close to us, we need a distraction so that they stop.”
After telling this
coach leaped straight into the group of raptors and started viciously attacking
them with a dagger. But soon luck abandoned him and a raptor bit him in the
leg, he fell and the raptors relished their mouth for the first time in
dinosaur history with human meat.
But his sacrifice wasn’t in vain. He had stalled the raptors long enough for the rest to escape before the time portal closed.
