Garrett the Dinosaur


Garrett is a Tyrannosaurus rex, and like all dinosaurs, he is extinct, he is a sad sack, and, although it is hard to admit, he doesn’t have many friends. He does however, have a pet bird named Cooper. Garrett did not want the bird at first, but it kept hanging around him so much that he and the the bird became very close. But for the sake of stories let's start from the beginning.

"Oh, I am so lonely," said Garrett one dreary afternoon. It was not nice enough to go outside and play basketball, although no one would have played with him.

"You have me," squawked his faithful bird Cooper.

"Meh," replied Garrett. "I need some real friends. Friends I can play games with not friends that I have to clean up after and feed."

"Oh." said Cooper. As he slunk off, Garrett sat at the mouth of his cave and cried as he combed his fro. Garrett decided to go on a walk in the rain by himself. He came across some kids playing in the rain. He wanted to play with them, but when he got closer they ran inside. He then walked on until he came upon another group of kids who were high fiving each other. They came up to give him a high five, and he thought, My luck is changing I can be their friend, but when he tried to give them a high five he could not because his arms were just too short.

Garrett cried out,"God, why do you hate me so!"

"BECAUSE GARRETT YOU ARE A T-REX, MY WORST CREATION OF ALL!" said the booming voice of God, "NOW GO HOME AND PREPARE FOR A JOURNEY. FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS WILL FOLLOW."

"Yes God," Garrett replied, very frightened. He slowly walked home. On his way home it started drizzling, but that was okay because it covered up his tears. When he arrived home he told Cooper. “Pack your things, we are leaving.”

“To where?” Asked Cooper

“I’m not sure yet,” replied Garrett. Cooper, who had no possessions of his own just flew into Garrett's hair and stayed in there. Finally they were off and had begun their journey. When they got about five miles away they realized they had no instructions and had to go back. Once back at the cave...
“GEEZ WHERE WERE YOU I’VE BEEN WAITING HERE FOR LIKE TWO HOURS.”
“I’m sorry God.”
“I MEAN WAY TO BE RUDE.”
“I did not mean to God.”
“I AM SORRY, GARRETT. I’VE HAD A ROUGH DAY I DIDN’T MEAN TO SNAP.”
“It’s alright, God, it happens to all of us.”
“ANYWAY YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW THE ROAD UNTIL YOU REACH THE CLIFF THEN YOU CLIMB THE ROPE LADDER DOWN UNTIL YOU REACH THE BOTTOM.”
“Is this some cruel joke God?”
“WHAT NO WHY WOULD IT BE A... OH SORRY THERE WILL BE AN ELEVATOR.”
“Thank you God.” So Garrett and his faithful bird Cooper were off once again. After they had been walking for some time they came upon a cliff and they spent about an hour searching for the elevator until they realized this wasn’t the right cliff and saw that there was a bridge there. Garrett tried to cover his face in frustration but couldn’t, and he could swear he heard God laughing.
They continued on for a while and came to a second cliff which they saw an elevator right away. They went inside of it and pressed the down button halfway down they got stuck. Garrett and cooper waited for about five hours until they started to lose it. Garrett and Cooper who couldn’t read started pressing random buttons. Suddenly they heard a faint rumbling which got louder and louder. Until...
Boom!!!!

Garrett had accidentally pressed the button that said -LAUNCH METEOR- without meaning to. And that’s how dinosaurs became extinct.
The end
