Island of Hersheys

By Joey Spielberger

I was on a big fancy ship called the "Sunflower." I remember I had fallen asleep in my cabin. I woke to see a bolt of lightnin' in the dark, blue sky. The next thing I knew, the ship had hit a cloud of rocks very suddenly. Many a lad was thrown overboard. Others were just too scared and stayed in the cabins.

I heard somebody comin' quickly around the corner. There was a rifle lyin' on top of the old apple barrel. Suddenly the person appeared. I pulled up my rifle. It was me! It was a good thing too, because my rifle was empty. I roared with laughter. I rolled on the floor, laughin'. Imagine me, an eleven year-old kid being afraid of me!

After that, by usin' the apple barrel and scraps of wood that I found lyin' around, I built a raft. We got to land as the sun came up. That is my dog (who was named Joey) and me. We decided to go explorin'. We walked a few miles and we came to a lake.

That evenin' we made a small hut to stay in, 'cause it was rainin' cats an' dogs. I went fishin' in that lake for dinner. I caught three of them salmon. So we had dinner. Then my dog, Joey said, "You stink at cooking!!!!" I said "Well maybe you could do better!"

So the next night Joey cooked dinner, and it was the best food I had ever tasted!

The next day I went to the village. I went on the roller coaster and threw up. Then a guy dragged me into a dark alley and stole my wallet. He gagged me and put me in handcuffs and tied me up. Then he dragged me into his dark cadillac and drove for about half an hour. He stopped at the Pacific Bed & Breakfast to get a burger an' fries. Then he drove off and dropped me at the haunted graveyard. Then he just drove on. I looked around. I saw someone digging a grave.

"Hello!" I called out. Then I added "Whose grave is this?" The man answered, "You!! Ha Ha Ha!!" Then he pushed me down a thirty-foot tube. I twisted and turned down the chute. At last I reached the bottom. I looked around. At the far end of the tunnel that I seemed to be in, I saw a door covered in hieroglyphs. I went down the long, dark hall until I came to it. It was a blue door with blood rushing down it. I opened the door and someone grabbed my shirt and stabbed me in the arm. I fell to the ground crying in pain.

"YEEOOWW!!" I screamed so loud that the man was thrown back ten feet.

"What's your problem, you *!&#*%@$?!" he yelled in my ear.

"Well, sooorry, you jerk!" I said. Then I ran away and I ran into a spider with a revolver.

"Wwwwooooaaaahhh!!!" I stopped just in time. The revolver was pointed straight at my head. The spider pulled the trigger.

"YEEEEEOOOOOOWWWW!!!!!" I shouted. I was blown into a purple room with lots of snakes. They had on yellow and green wide-brimmed hats and were playing poker. I ran out the door and into a lost polar bear who was holding a beer bottle and a potato chip. He had broken a refrigerator. So I went back to the room with the snakes and swung on a vine over to a rope bridge. A cobra was gaining on me at 20 mph. "WWOOOOOAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!" I yelled as I fell into a dark, muddy swamp. I started swimming. I had not gone far when a huge, gigantic alligator bit my rear.

"You stupid idiot!" I yelled in it's face. Then the alligator said, "Shut up, you big, fat potato!!" Then I galloped into the stuffed crust sausage, cheese and pepperoni pizza that I ate last week!
