I Kissed a Girl and I Liked It

I Kissed a Girl and I Liked It

 

[spoiler=I Kissed a Girl and I Liked It]On December 23, 2012, the world was said to die. A flaming ball from space was to come down and kill every human being on Earth, destroying all life as we know it. That didn’t happen. This is the true story of what happened that fateful day.

A young boy named Darius was running home, it was exactly 10:55, one hour until doomsday. His parents were waiting at the door for him to bring food. Running inside, his parents greeted him, “Come on, we have to go downstairs, our shelter is ready.” Darius went downstairs into his parents’ basement. His dad opened up a massive metal door for him to go through. Inside were four bunks; one for him, one for his miniature schnauzer named Tom, and two more for his parents. In the back was a massive freezer, bigger than the shelter itself where they were storing their food. “We’ll stay here for a month until everything passes,” his Mom said. Darius nodded and lied in his bunk, reading about Nostradamus.

At 11:00, Darius and his parents locked up the metal door, not letting anything inside. “Well Mom, well Dad, here we are.”

“Yup,” said Darius’ dad.

They sat there for a minute, waiting for the “comet” to hit. “I don’t hear anything, Darius said. His parents turned on the radio. “It is 11:07, and I am your host, Leon, it is time for the midnight shift.” The radio began playing Katy Perry’s “I Kissed a Girl”, so Darius went over to change it. It didn’t. “Mom, Dad, can you help me out here?” Darius’ dad went over to change the station, “Must be rusty or something…Even though it’s plastic.” His dad turned the knob to change the station, but again, nothing happened. “Dang it Darius, you broke it!”

“I didn’t do anything, I swear.”

“No, look, the button turns, but it doesn’t change you must’ve pulled it loose.”

“Just turn it off then.”

Darius’ dad clicked the button. Nothing happened at all. “Must be short circuited then.” His dad clicked it again. Nothing happened again. His dad sighed and took the batteries out, but the music refused to stop. “I kissed a girl and I liked it…,” the radio blared out. “Oh, here we go,” said Darius’ dad as he saw a cord at the back, “I’ll just unplug it, no biggie.” His dad pulled the cord and it came out of the wall. The music stopped. “Yes, we’re saved!” Darius and his Mom high fived each other and his dad stood there, basking in glory.

At 11:28, Darius was woken up by the same song again. His dad was standing there, bedazzled. “What is this thing?” His Dad picked it up, looking around it to see what he could do, but there was nothing. Darius’ Mom was screaming now, “Turn it off, turn it off! My brain, my brain!” His dad tried everything, it wouldn’t turn off. “Dad,” Darius yelled over his mom’s screaming, “turn it down!” His dad gave the thumbs up and twisted the volume to down, but to his surprise, the volume went up. The further his father twisted the knob down, the louder it went. “Dad! Reverse!” His dad turned it in the “up” direction, but that turned it up even more. Tom was barking like mad, running in circles chasing his tail. “That’s it!” Darius’ dad screamed as he held the radio over his head. “Dad, no! We need that!” Darius dad threw the radio at the small and it bounced back, hitting his dad in the head, knocking him unconscious. “Dad!” Darius went over to his dad, checking for a pulse. There wasn’t one, his father was dead. “Mom, I need you to tell me how to unlock this-this door!” His mom looked up, her eyes tearing, “You can’t, i-it’s set for one month!” Darius looked down in surprise “…what?”

“One month!”

Darius got up and cried. “What are we going to do?” He ran into the freezer, closing the door behind him. “It’s so cold in here…” He looked around, listening to the freezer buzzing. Hey, it was quiet in here, maybe he could think for a while, he could develop a plan to- it was quiet! Darius burst out the freezer, “Mom, Tom, get inside!” Darius’ mom and his dog ran inside the freezer, away from the music. “See mom, it’s quiet in here, and we’ll have food in here for ages.” Darius looked around at the shelves. They were empty. “Mom, where’s the food?” His mom looked around, “Well, I figured if we left it on the kitchen table until we came out, there would be some food to eat.” Darius smacked his hand on his face, this was horrible. Then the music played again, louder than ever. “Here I’ll go get it ready,” his Mom said, driven insane from the music. She stood up and walked to the edge of the freezer and chipped off a block of ice. “Dinner’s on the table!” his mom called in her insanity. Darius got up, “Mom, there isn’t an-“

“Go wash up son, otherwise you can’t eat.”

“There’s no sink.”

His mom had a crazy look in her eyes, “Are you mocking me young man?”

“What? No! There’s no sink Mom!” His mom got up from the box she had set up on the floor and grabbed a massive icicle. “Mom, what are you doing?” She ran toward Darius, “Mom! Wait!”

“Young man you are grounded!” The music continued playing while they ran around in the freezer. Tom was barking at them louder than the music. “Mom! Stop!” Darius jumped over a large box with his mom chasing him. “Time for din-dins!” His mom tried to leap over the box but slipped falling to the ground. “Mom!” A massive icicle that wasn’t there before came down, falling on his mom’s back. “No!” Darius screamed for a while. “That’s it, you’re done for!” Darius geared up for war.

11:49, time for the battle. Darius came out of the freezer in an armored suit made out of boxes. Tom wore pieces of leather over his back in order to protect him from projectiles. “It’s go time.” His dog started barking and suddenly the music changed to the theme song from Mortal Kombat. Darius banged into the radio, throwing it on the ground. “Get some!” Darius screamed as he lifted it over his head, throwing it into the freezer. “You’re not getting away from me that easily!” Darius tackled the radio, forcing it off one of the shelves. He pinned the inanimate object down, banging it open. There was no CD. “Come on! Don’t you got any fight left in ya’?” Darius body slammed the radio and picked it up. “Yeah, yeah, that’s right. He picked it up and threw it at a sharp icicle, hoping it would break. A screw on the radio came loose and fell off. “Aha! You’re done now!” He ran over to the radio which was in the corner. Suddenly the music stopped and Darius stood straight in his tracks. “Leon here, the time is 12:00 am.” Then the radio completely shut off. Darius stood there for about thirty seconds, watching it closely. “Let’s go Tom, someone’s going to look for us sometime.” Tom was standing in front of the freezer door when it shut. “Huh?” Darius turned around looking at the radio as its light turned from orange to red, indicating it was on. A dog whistle sounded from the radio in rhythmic tunes. Tom looked at Darius, who backed into a corner. Tom began slowly moving towards Darius. “Tom! Tom! No!” A deep scream came from inside the freezer and then it was quiet.

One month later. The giant metallic door clicked and made a noise. The public was waiting outside, cameras were flashing and everyone was exclaiming. It slowly creaked open. A dark figure emerged from the room. A dog named Tom.
