TIME TRAVELLING WATCH

Aryan was a 12-year-old boy who had to steal for a living. His parents and his brother Mayan had died in a car accident when Aryan was 7. He had been stealing since then. One day, he was going about his routine of stealing things when he came across this enormous mansion Blueberry Ville. He knew he would become rich if he robbed this place. So, he decided to wait till night

At 1:00 a.m., he climbed in through the first-floor window. He walked into the kitchen, living room, master bedroom, and mini-theatre but no one was home. He was so worn walking around the huge mansion that he almost dozed off on the sofa. He sat on a Titan watch.

He looked at the dial; it was quite huge. Instead of numbers, it had words written on them. Gods, Dinosaurs, Egypt, Mayan Civilization! His eyes instantly started to water, he wiped his tears away and started playing with the dial. He simply clicked a button and the arm pointed at gods. His surroundings started changing color and…

TITAN WATCH DESTROYED BY A TITAN

He was in full Greek Armor fighting a war. The war was between Gods and Titans. He was a demigod called Perseus, a son of Zeus. He was still wearing his watch. He hid behind a rock and tried to make the watch work again. At that exact moment, he saw a 12-foot man penetrate the rock from behind him using quite a powerful weapon.

He had an aura of power, which made Aryan feel like his soul was getting ripped off his body. Aryan asked him who he was. He smirked and said that he was Kronos, Titan Of Time. Aryan wanted to cut him apart with his sword because of his gruesome face; it was so ugly he would never be able to erase it from his mind. Before he could even touch the hilt of his sword, he broke his watch. His scythe cut right through his watch like it was a piece of paper.

He was so angry that he mindlessly started shouting at Kronos’s ugly face. He realized that he was shouting in Greek. Kronos kicked Aryan so hard he went flying about 6 miles away from there. Kronos shouted really loud and started charging straight at Aryan. Aryan raised his sword and it went straight through something. He had stabbed Kronos! Kronos started yelling in pain and cursed him saying, “You will travel from era to era every 24 hours.” He fell on the ground. Then, Aryan’s eyes started feeling heavy and he blacked out.

A DINOFYING EXPERIENCE

He woke up in a shady place with stinky viscous water on him. A shadow above him looked like a Brachiosaurus…
Wait, what! A brachiosaurus!
He ran at his full speed and realized he made a dust storm behind him. He noticed there was a pond 6 seconds ahead. He hit his brakes and his face was right over the pond. He looked in and screamed. His scream came out as a roar; he was a velociraptor!

He felt saliva on his neck. He turned and saw a Rex above him. He ran again. This time the T-Rex did chase him, and it was quite fast. It missed his tail by a few inches each time it tried to bite or slash. Next, he saw a group of velociraptors and ran straight at them. They saw him and started gnashing their teeth.

He realized that even they wanted to eat him. So, he had to keep running. The bunch of velociraptors, who were now being chased by the T-Rex, were chasing Aryan. Each time a velociraptor tried to bite him, the T-Rex would eat that raptor. After a while, all the velociraptors were gone. The T-Rex felt full and left Aryan alone. Aryan’s body felt like lead. His sight was changing he saw…

I CAN’T EVEN SAY 'MUMMY!'

He saw a man with a dog’s face. He had the face of a black hellhound. He gave Aryan a hand. Aryan took it and said, “Thank You”. He didn’t reply; instead, he started sniffing at Aryan. His eyes widened.

He banged Aryan on the head with a spear. Aryan’s eyes squinted, and he fainted. He woke up staring at some queen. She said something in another language and mentioned Cleopatra. He asked her why she had put him in some stupid handcuffs… but his voice was way too loud and angry, at least more than he expected.

The next thing he knew she thwacked him on his head with her staff. And again, he blacked out. When he woke up, he was in prison. They had tied him up with the knot that he used to tie shoes. He knew they were going to cut him in half if he removed the knot. So he tried to think of an idea but he couldn’t. He felt sleepy and he slept.

A CIVILISATION IN MAYAN NAME

He woke up dazed, staring at a hairy man who had an ax in his hand. The man raised his ax and almost cut Aryan in half. Aryan was dead scared as he dodged the man’s slashes. He turned and ran, but then he saw a whole army of Spanish raising their guns at him. When he ran back to the man, he had an army too, more buff-looking people though less in number. He was scared and ran to the Spanish. They put him in handcuffs instantly.

He stared at a guy in awe and laughed. The next thing he knew, the gun of the man was banged on his head, and he blacked out. He woke up drowsy in a weird jail. One of the doors was made of wood that he could break with a kick. The guard outside was snoring, and his ax and keys were laying 2cms from him. He grabbed the ax and keys. He was going to escape when he saw some serious criminals in the cages. He freed those who he thought would help him, and left the rest. Then, the soldiers came in, and his fake, non-courageous army ran away. A soldier shouted, “Matalo!” & banged Aryan on the head again.

AAAAHH!!! Aryan shouted at the top of his lungs. This time he was stuck in a dungeon. A man threw a piece of rock into Aryan’s cage and shouted. Aryan instantly shut up. After a while, again Aryan roared and said, “You filthy Mayan!”

That did it; he used his tribe’s name as an insult. Aryan shouted again, and the guard came in. Aryan was scared and knew he’d be killed. At that time, his surroundings started changing and his body felt like lead.

I WISH I WAS A CHRISTIAN

All Aryan knew was that he was back in India. He ran out of the house he was in. As he ran out, he tripped over something. He turned around and realized it was a corpse. He scampered across the ground and banged on something. He noticed a person standing above him. He thought the man was kind and asked him if he would help him. Instead, he grinned at him and kicked him on the head. Aryan fainted, and when he woke up again, he was stuck in a prison.

He just remembered he was a Hindu, but that was before when he had a family. But, he still had the Ganesh pendant. He had kept it as a memory of his parents and brother. When he looked for the pendant, it was gone. He thought they took it, as they were Muslims. The idea of their taking his only memory of home and family angered him. His body felt as hot as a blasting volcano!

He got angry and kicked the side of the cage with all his force. The side blasted open. He had expected it to just fall to one side, but he had kicked it on the rusted part. He saw the man who had kicked him walking past him. He ran straight to him and banged a rod on the man’s head. He turned and kicked Aryan looking unaffected. Aryan fainted. The next day, he woke up and he was staring at the floor with his hands and neck strapped to a wooden plank. He was about to be beheaded when his body felt lighter and he…

AK-47 AIMED AT MY HEAD

He woke up to see an AK-47 aimed at his head. He wasn’t sure if it was an AK-47 but he guessed it was. At least, he was still alive but had to land again in the middle of a war. And that too the World War 2! He ran straight to a group of people and stared at their motionless, fierce faces. They all said random words like, ”Judjudgalibujimonderasteracha”. He had read about them when he went with his family to the library. They were called Huns.

He remembered they liked ripping people’s limbs off. So, he walked off as fast as he could. He tried communicating in Hindi, but they said something in another language. They balled their fists at him, so he ran off. He remembered that India was under British rule during that war. So, he ran off to the British people. They threw him back to the Indians.
They all stared at him in awe. He realized he was in complete Indian armor.

He had a spear strapped to his back and best of all, he had so many muscles that even a Hun would run off and pee in his pants. He used the advantage and charged at people and they kept backing off. Next, he used his spear and banged a guy on his face. The guy went flying into another country and got cut into two halves. The guy’s country got mad and attacked other countries. The war had begun. One person came to Aryan and stabbed his blade right through him. Aryan’s eyes felt heavy and he blacked out.

I’M BACK, BUT IN A TOILET!!!

He was standing this time and heard the voice of Kronos, “You will be back, but I will find you and track you down soon.” Aryan was glad to be back. He started jumping, but he realized that his feet were in a closet. He was so happy to be back that he didn’t care he was in a washroom. He ran out to check if there were any corpses. He wished that he still had some of that muscular body left.

He was standing in a few ragged clothes, which everyone was staring at. Wait, why were all these people so fair and wearing clothes like that? He went to the closest person and asked him where he was. The man said this was London. Aryan went pale and fainted. When he woke up, he saw himself in a suit and in the same mansion Blue Berry Ville that he had left from. He saw the same watch sitting on the sofa he had taken.

It was half broken. Aryan tried moving the dial. It started spinning, and then it changed the options on the watch; this time from Africa to America to Atlanta. He threw it away, but it came back like a boomerang and got stuck to his arm. It was getting heavy. And then the dial pointed at America. His surroundings started changing and…
