I recently came across a bunch of my old paperwork from elementary school and one particular item of interest was an old science fiction story I wrote sometime around fifth grade. I've always been an aspiring writer, but I've never been any good at finishing things, so much was my surprise to find this little short story was actually completed! A real rarity. So, lacking any other projects at present, I typed it up (repairing only misspellings and grammatical errors) and decided to post it here, just for laughs.
A little background: when I was in fifth grade (about ten or eleven years old), the big literary craze was R.L. Stine's Goosebumps series. They were the Harry Potter of the '90's. So naturally, it became the prerogative of all us aspiring kid writers to write our own knock-off series. I named mine Chills. I knew I had completed the first book in my series and started a second, but until I found this little manuscript, I had no idea that I'd been motivated enough to actually finish it! The title is My Teacher's Spaced Out, borrowing heavily from another childhood fave, My Teacher is an Alien.
So, here it is.
