Twobble Kingdom (Part 1)
Jack Kingford had always been the most unpopular kid at school. And at home. He was just one of those people that everyone ignores but is usually kind. He would mind his own business the whole day from dawn until dusk. Little did he know that was about to change; his whole life would flip completely upside down. And it all started at the start of yet another school day… “Jack! Jack! Get your bum moving it’s gone well past 7:30! And hurry up; you haven’t even brushed your teeth yet!” His mum called from outside his room. Jack however always did as he was told. He had a shower, brushed his teeth and off he went to have breakfast. As usual, he had his morning attack from the family cat, who always seemed to be more violent towards Jack than anyone else, and poured himself some cornflakes. “Jack! My goodness! What the crickeys have you done to your hair?” He only needed to say two words. “The Cat.” Sometimes, Jack thought this cat was some sort of secret Sith cat, or a hired terrorist. Wolfing down his cereal, he got up and searched straight away for his phone, in which he had two broken by ‘The Cat’. Before getting ready to leave, something didn’t seem right. He hadn’t seen the cat for 15 minutes and usually its claws were stuck to him. Straight away, he went searching for the cat. After 2 minutes of searching, he saw in the corner of his eye a strange blue light coming from a blank wall. He touched it, curious of his new discovery. And as if by magic a long, blue, rotating tube going inside the wall opened up. It was definitely long enough to have gone into the second room. Knowing he shouldn’t be doing what he was, he stepped inside the tube which seemed to small for him to stand in. He was then thrown onto his waist and was travelling into the blue, rotating, twisting tube like he was on a very abnormal slide. After about a minute or two of twisting and turning, he finally found the end of the tube and was dumped onto fresh, soft grass. He opened his flickering eyes to see a vague forest like area. Puzzled, he sat bolt-right up. “Welcome, Jack Kingford,” said a small, soft voice. He spun around to face a small, fluffy creature with soft, chestnut fur. “You are one of few who have travelled to our world from planet Earth,” he informed Jack. “My name is Chipunpip and you are now currently sat on the surface of Twobble Kingdom,” he explained. ©E.
