The Misadventures of Emerald

GODZILLA JUST WRECKED OUR TOWN!

I've had a lot of crazy days in my life, but none of them were as crazy as this one.

It was the middle of the night. I was sleeping, obviously. When a huge earthquake has managed to wake me up. It managed to wake my parents and Ruby up as well. They walked into my room and said, "Okay, do you need to use the toilet again?" That didn't make any sense whatsoever. How do you cause an earthquake from farting? That was the question I asked back. They answered with, "I don't know but you somehow did it." So I said, "Don't you think I could've used the bathroom if I had to 'fart' that hard?" My parents never responded and went back to bed. Ruby however, responded for them. "Yeah." Then she went back with them.

What happened? Have I really gone insane? The earthquake never came back that night, but another earthquake came the night after. This time, my parents didn't come into my room. That was fine by me because I didn't want to hear a lecture about farting in an actual toilet. A few more earthquakes occurred, and I was wondering what the heck is going on. My parents still never came in, which REALLY got me curious. I looked out the window, and that's when I saw Godzilla. Godzilla was doing what it normally would do, you know, destroying our town and all that. I panicked and tried to find Mom, Dad, and Ruby, because they could never be blinded from something this gigantic. Their bedroom doors were closed very, and I mean VERY tight. SO tight, in fact, that I could never get them open. At first, I thought they were locked but I noticed that there was no keyhole. Looking outside the window again, I decided to watch the news channel to see if anyone else has noticed, I mean come on! Godzilla is a bajillion times bigger than... the biggest thing on Earth!

The News channel was talking about how lovely this next summer is going to be. They were in the middle of talking about getting prepared for some sunglasses or something when the power suddenly went out. I suspected that Godzilla has destroyed our satellite dish, I mean how else would this happen? I was like, "screw it" and called someone to take care of this problem. Oh, lucky me, our phone wire got cut off somehow. So since I couldn't talk to anyone else here or use the phone, I pretty much had no choice but to go to bed and pretend that this never happened.

I must've dozed off because the next thing I knew, I was inside a nearly destroyed house. I ran to see if my family FINALLY noticed, and get this: They were still sound asleep. Their doors were gone, but they were still unconscious as if nothing had happened. I noticed that they were wearing headphones. I honestly don't think headphones can stop you from hearing something that loud. I tried waking Mom up, but she just moved her arm in the air back and forth, and mentioned something about toilets. I tried waking Dad up as well, but apparently he was dreaming about eating something, because that's exactly what it looked like he was doing. I even tried waking Ruby up because this was starting to get on my nerves. Ruby did wake up, but she wasn't happy waking up because of me.

"Emerald? What do you want?"

"Hey Ruby. Sorry to bother you but... just look at our house!"

Her room looked like a wrecking ball just blew up everything. I knew that she couldn't possibly think this was all done by me. She looked around, and then looked at me with an incredibly sad face. "What happened?" she said loudly.

"Alright. Look." I decided to tell her what REALLY happened. I mean, hey, she wouldn't expect me to do all that destruction, so why not give her at least one exclamation? "It was this huge beast called Godzilla, and-"

"Godzilla...? Wasn't there a movie about him?"

"As I was saying, it was Godzilla, and I saw him destroy-"

"Yeah right, like this Godzilla monster somehow managed to make it here and deplete my room. Nice try, Emerald. Now can you please tell me how this happened?"

This girl just does not want to believe what her older brother is saying. Seems to be a recurring theme. I tried one more time. "Just hear me out, okay? It was actually Godzilla! I saw him with my own 2 eyes! He was destroying our town, and I even tried calling a person but the phone wire was cut. I tried sleeping it out but then I realized what he did to this house. Mom and Dad didn't seem to wake up at all, and... yeah."

This is the response I get for telling that whole story: "I got to say, Emerald, you're really good at coming up with all these stories. How come you don't come up with more stories per day?"

I officially gave up. I don't think anyone is ever going to believe what I am saying. I just crawled up in bed, squirming a little and finally started to think that the Godzilla thing is all over, and hopefully not happening again.

Oh wait, guess what else happened! I was up early in the following morning still shocked about Godzilla the night before, and then when I checked the news, I was so shocked I passed out. The news reported that "Japan was just wrecked by an unknown force last night. No one knows where it came from, let alone what it was. So if anyone has a guess or 2 about what the force may be, please go to the police station."

I passed out after hearing that. I thought Godzilla was gone for good, but apparently not. It seems that he is wrecking some other town right now. Could the police not do anything about this? I know they're not going to believe me about Godzilla wrecking up Japan, 'cause then again, who will?
