The Story Of Arnold

This is a story the four of us (Maja, Tomislav, a girl whose name I have forgotten and me) wrote yesterday in Language Practice class. I'm pretty sure you'll be able to recognize what character was my contribution. LMAO

The Story of Arnold

In the year 3000, in the world of hatred, greed and destruction, the darkness has prevailed. When hope has deserted the mankind, in a village in the hills of what used to be Austria, a child was born. He was given a name after an ancient hero whose statue was the only thing that has survived the nuclear catastrophe that struck the entire Europe in the year 2007. The name was Arnold.

The boy grew up in poverty; he learned how to fight and how to get what he needed to survive. Somewhere along the line he began to take more than he needed. He took everything that his greedy heart desired. He bought himself a wife for a skinny two-headed mutant goat.

What he didn't know was that her father was a powerful magician. So one night his father appeared in Arnold's sleep.

Arnold! – he called his name. The creepy voice sent shivers down Arnold's spine.

Who the hell are you?!

I'm the voice of your future. Take your wife and go to a distant land across the ocean. Find the big tall white wood and burried under its roots you shall find your gift.

Led by his greed, he took his wife and set sailed across the ocean. He searched and searched for a white wood but he couldn't find it. While they were sailing, his wife suddenly pointed her finger and cried:

Look! It says W-O-O-D and it's white!

What she saw were the remainings of once magnificent empire of Hollywood. They got off the ship and ran towards the sign. Under the sign, a leprechaun named Mickey Mouse waited for him.

You must be Arnold. I've been expecting you for five hundred years. You're late. But I forgive you. Dig here!

Arnold didn't like Mickey's tone. It was the tone only he was allowed to use. But anyway, Arnold dug.. And then he dug some more amd some more, until his hands started to bleed. That was when he found the chest.

It's a chest! But it's locked!

He started kicking it. Then his wife approached him taking her necklace off and handing him the key that was on it.

Maybe this could help.

And they unlocked the chest and the light blinded them. They felt the world spinning around them and they were pulled into the centre of a vortex. They landed into the year 2007. Mickey told Arnold:

You're the governor of California now. You have the power to save the world.

How?! – Arnold asked.

Vote against Bush trying to nuke Iraq! Your voice will decide! Do the right thing!

There was something in Mickey's voice that overtook Arnold. He voted against Bush when the time came and the world as we know it was saved.

My Dad bought a car today. That's really huge in our world. It's not a new car, it's a Seat Ibiza (1999), but in comparison to our lates car, VW Jetta from 1983, this is definitely an improvement. So we had a family toast now and one Jack Daniels & Coke was enough to make me feel dizzy. I must practice my drinking!
