Amir Norman

My friend, Amir Norman, had just went through his midterm exam. For his English examination, he had to write and essay that had to end with "That was the last time I saw his face and I will always remember him". So this is his story. He actually scanned his work into the PC, but the writing is kinda small. So I took the time to write what he wrote. Enjoy!

          It was a bright and sunny day in the town of Buttertortoise. Marble was at the market shopping for groceries. Marble took one last look at his shopping list and he needed one last thing which were goose eggs. He ran to the goose egg farm and discovered that it was closed. Marble cursed as he was supposed to bake his famous "Bluberberry Cone Cake". (Bluberberry can only be found in Buttertortoise)

          "How am I suppose to celebrate my birthday without a cake!" Marble said to himself. Since the only goose egg farm in town was closed, he had to travel the furthest depths of the ocean to obtain a map to a town called Butterturtle. Butterturtle doesn't have a goose egg farm but it did have a substitute for goose eggs -  Goosen egg (A delicacy available in Butterturtle) As Marble was walking, he stumbled upon a strange pyramid shaped box. And it had his name on it, but it had an extra "R".

          Marble approached the box and picked it up to check on its contents. It wont open and the box shouted, "I'm not for you!". Marble was dumbfounded and said, "What are you talking about, I'm Marble!" Seconds later, a stranger that goes by the name of Marble tapped his back. "Sorry mate, I guess that one's for me". Marrble bid Marble farewell and vanished in a puff of red smoke. Just as Marble started walking again, he stumbled upon a square box with his name on it. This time, it was spelled properly. Marble opened the box.

          Marble was scared. The box sucked him into another dimension. He looked around and there were pink people everywhere. They cheered and sang, they seemed happy for Marble's arrival. "Marble is here, the prophecy is being fulfilled!" shouted one of them. "What do you want from me?" asked Marble in a scared tone. "Oh Lord Marble, our savior, we need your help!" Marble wasn't scared anymore after they called him Lord Marble. "Help with what?" asked Marble. "We need you to slay the king of all evil, the master of darkness, Anuar Zain!" Marble thought for awhile and asked, "What shall I get in return?" "Goose eggs" replied one of the pink people. Marble said okay.

          Marble then equipped with a chainsaw, was ready to face Anuar Zain, the menace. "Where is this Anuar Zain guy that you speak of?" "He existed an hour ago but now he's gone". Marble was confused and whined, "Why do you need me to help then?!" All the pink people merged together as one, individual, Pinkiest. Pinkiest told Marble of the prophecy, "It was foretold that Anuar Zain will rise and steal all our roofs and disappear without a trace. And a savior will descend from the heavens and slay the wretched, Anuar Zain by going back in time through a portal that will lead him out of a pyramid box."

          Before Marble could react he was tossed into a pool of snakes by Pinkiest. "Don't worry Lord Marble, this is the portal", said Pinkiest. Marble peeked out of the pyramid box and his eyes met the shocked stare of Marrble. "So you're Anuar Zain!" shouted Marble. Marrble shot a fireball at Marble and sent him to the ground. "That's what you get for trying to prevent me from stealing the roofs, which I'm about to do now!" "I'll beat you, you bus tord!" replied Marble. "Nothing can beat me! The only thing that can beat me is a chainsaw!" gloated Marrble. Marble took out his weapon. "You mean something like this?!" Marble hacked Marrble into pieces and before Marrble let out his last breath, Marble asked, "What is your real name, Marrble or Anuar Zain?" Marrble stated that his name was "That Was The Last Time I Saw His Face And I Will Always Remember Him."
