Pandora’s Lair

With Coraline and Tintin pictures

Introduction

“John do you see that? The glowing orb in the center?” Mary said.
Slowly she crept into the hole and submerged into the golden light.
All of a sudden I heard a voice that sounded like Mary’s, scream out in pain. Then with a thud, something fell to the cold, hard floor.
“Yes! The treasure of Pandora is all mine! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!” said a voice coming from the golden glow.
“What is that?” I replied
“Mary? Mary! AHHHHHHHHH!”

“It has been three weeks since Mary, my partner investigator, had disappeared. I had been searching for her ever since her mysterious disappearance into that dark hole. I spent most of that time looking for countless hours at the hole where she last was standing. The hole that we were observing was called Pandora’s Lair. Legend has it that Pandora the great Greek hero, actually put all of her wealth into a hole and hid it from everybody.

Then one day while I was observing, a sharp pain landed in my back. It did not feel like a knife, but a needle.

When I woke back up I was in a dungeon. On the outside there was someone who had a Mexican wrestling mask on and was in a suit. He said, “We’ve been waiting for you to wake up John.”
“How do you know my name?” I said with a quivering voice.
“We’ve been watching you for many years now. Learning your weaknesses. Like one of them is her!”
Two of his thugs pulled out a beaten up woman and when I looked closer at her face, I saw who it was. It was Mary!

“What did you do to her!” I said both angry and sad.
“We just reasoned with her and had some fun,” he said with a smirk and a chuckle.
All of a sudden my vision went groggy. A hand grasped my shoulder and injected me with a green liquid.

Picture Challenge – Tin Tin – By Erik


Five, four, three, two, one, lift off! The rocket blasted right off the ground. My heart was pounding so hard that I felt like it was going to come flying right out of my chest. Captain Crawford looked super calm and Buster was yapping loud. I tried to shut him up but I really couldn’t do anything so we had to live with the barking. I decided to take a nap or at least try to.“Hey kid we’re here.” I looked up only to see Captain Crawford’s face and Buster laying on top of me. I pushed Buster off my chest and got straight up. I walked over to the window and looked out of it. It was a beautiful view even though it was all just rock.

The space suit was pretty hard to get on but after maybe twenty minutes I finally got it on. The real problem was getting Buster’s space suit on. Since he was a dog ,Captain Crawford and I had to put it on for him.

Our job was to find some moon rocks for the scientist to study. It was pretty easy since the whole place was one giant rock. Once during this adventure Buster got his paw stuck in a tiny crater so we had help him get out.  The rest of the trip was really fun. I bounced all over the place. I felt like a little kid again. Of course Captain Party-Pooper had to stop me.

After walking around for awhile we decided to head back to our ship. We walked around for hours trying to find the ship but we couldn’t find it anywhere. Finally we saw it. The only problem was that we saw foot prints going into the ship. We quickly ran down towards it.

When we went inside we saw maps on the ground and dog and human food everywhere. Now I  was really scared. Then all of a sudden a giants pickle-like thing came flying at me! I didn’t have anytime to see who (or what) it was because I was punching it like there was no tomorrow. I tried to get away but it kept on grabbing me. Finally I got it off me and ran into the space ship. “GO, GO, GO,” I screamed. The door closed and we blasted right off of the moon. I was glad that we were leaving. That was definitely the scariest thing ever when that thing attacked me. I couldn’t wait to tell everyone back on earth.
