M2: I caught the Plague OH NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

               One day I was walking along on the sidewalk of Elm Street... Just kidding I actually was just walking to school with my friend on Fremont, but then suddenly a note fell out of the sky that said " You need to go back to Constantinople during Justinian's reign, and see how the plague affected people." -Sr. Volpe. Since my friend doesn't know I'm a Time Traveler, so I said I forgot to get something and told him to keep walking. After he was out of sight I zapped myself into medieval clothes and zapped myself back in time.

               I got there and there were dead people lying everywhere. It was a terrible sight, there were people coming around and putting the dead people in a cart. I remembered something my history teacher taught me. It was something like "There were around 100 million people died, and they couldn't bury all of them." -Mr. Fox. I was just walking around staring at the terrible thing that had happened, when a man walked up to me and said "Hi my name is Hob, you look like a young strong man come inside so we can get away from those dreaded bad smells.

                After I came inside there were about 20 people in there and it looked like 10 of them were unscathed. Then Hob said "Sorry so many of us are sick, it's kind of customary, I just think its better for a young man to not have to see those things out there." After I heard him I saw someone I recognized, it looked like my brother Joey McGee. I went over and asked his name and he said he would talk to me in the other room. When I got there he told me he had got the same note as me and was on the same mission, but he had caught the plague. I wasn't paying attention because I was so happy he was here, I didn't notice that he took a rat and shoved it down my shirt when I realized that he was our evil twin brother named "Mr. Evil". HE HAD GIVEN ME THE PLAGUE.

               After I had noticed that he had given me a rat that was infected I ran as fast as I could to get away from that crazy house. Did the people know that "Mr.Evil" was a bad person or did he have the under a spell? I didn't know or care at the moment all I knew was that I had the worst disease that you could have and there was no cure. A while later I got tired and stopped and realized I was in a manor. There were Serfs all around doing work and I could see some one who looked like their Lord up in the tower. Noticing this I had time to think and I decided to go home, but then I realized "Mr.Evil" had my Time Traveling device and I was dying by the minute. Retracing my steps took a whole day because I kept on getting lost. When I got back to the house I noticed I had Black and Blue Botches all over me. I had around half a day to keep on living. I NEEDED my Time Traveling Device.

               I came storming in looking for it Hob tried to stop me, but he could see it in my eyes that nothing was going to stop me and I was dying. I found that "Mr.Evil was sleeping, so I threw him on he ground and took my watch back. I ran outside (normal people couldn't see Time Travel) and set it for October 28th, 2011. When I came back to present time I got a cab and said "I"M DYING GET ME TO THE HOSPITAL AND STEP ON IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" While he was driving I passed out... When I woke up I was in the Emergency Room and they told me I was about 10 minutes away from death and I had survived the Plague. He said other stuff, but all I wanted to hear was that I was A-OK and I was. Next time I face "Mr.Evil" I will be ready and he will be the one who ends up on the down side.

  4. I hope you don't run into Mr. Evil again. He seems like a real rat (ha! ha! get it? I said "rat").
