Albert and the Cold War

Albert's Home

It was a warm Summer morning in June. Albert woke up to the sound of his clock "BING BONG! BING BONG! BING BONG!" and started thinking to himself,

"Why? Why does today have to be the day that I have to train these Dolphins? This will not end good and will take forever."

He then stepped out of his bed, put on his shirt, his shorts, then slipped on his shoes.

"Mmmmm! I smell bacon, eggs, and biscuits. I need some." Albert thought to himself.

So he walked into the kitchen and got some breakfast, then sat down on the table. ¨Hey ma, pa, who made this food?¨ Albert asked his parents.

"I did Albert" His dad said to Albert.

"Well then I got to get going bye Ma, bye Pa" he said after eating his breakfast.

He ate it within 3 mins. He was actually pretty excited to be able to be with dolphins but he wasn't all that excited about having to train them because of all the loud noises and they would make and them not listening very well. He walked out of the door and started walking to the training ground.

2. Training Grounds

Albert got to the training ground and saw people bleeding, crying, or yelling.

¨This is kind of scary¨ he said to himself under his breath.

He walked over to the person who hired him to train the dolphins.

"HI MY NAME IS COMMANDER NICHOLS" the man yelled to him.

"Hi sir." Albert said to him.

"I need you to walk with me please Albert so you can meet the dolphins." Commander Nichols told Albert

So Albert followed him. There were people crawling under really short barbed wire paths, people shooting guns at fake people, and people doing other army related stuff.

"Why is this like a Zombie Town, everyone is either not very happy or they are injured from the training?" Albert told Commander Nichols.

"Well, everyone thinks it is a terrible place to be and that they shouldn't have been here but they all wanted to so they did. I guess they all want to change their minds but once you join, you can really leave until it is over or you are seriously injured which no one is." Commander Nichols replied to Albert's question.

3. Meeting the Dolphins

"Albert, This is Luis who is 10 and Marlis who is 12. They are somewhat able to listen but then they need a break because they get distracted and can't stay on task very well." Commander Nichols told Albert.

"Okay Sir I will make sure I give them breaks. I will change and get in the water now and start training them" Albert replied to Commander Nichols.

So Albert changed into the water gear and got in the water. "EEEEEEEEEE KKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!" The sound of a dolphin happened. It made his ears ring. Albert just ignored the dolphins and tried to start training them. Albert put stuff in the water and told them to go find it which they did. One of the dolphins actually chewed up the underwater thing. "Marlis that isn't what you are supposed to do with the actual underwater mines, you will explode if you do that to real ones." Albert told Marlis as he acted like Marlis would even listen.

Marlis just squeaked and hid underwater. Luis on the other hand, actually did really good. He did exactly what I told him to do and did it even better than Marlis. Albert was working with them for 5 hours that day and Commander Nichols didn't even ask how it went. So albert went back home to get ready for the next day and repeat the training all over again.
