Frozen In Time-Week 3

     So, to continue where we left of.  Ben,Rachel,Freddy and Polly were watching a tape to find out something related to the disappearing of Freddy's and Polly's father which happened 50 years ago. At first, nothing suspicious happens, but then a man stopped at their gate for a minute and then left. A couple of minutes later, a black car appeared stopped in front of their gate.
     Unfortunately, the tape ran out at that moment, so they could not see what happened with the car. After the tape ran out, it was time for the kids to go to sleep.
      The next morning started with screaming. Polly,s dog, Bess, made Rachel's bed wet. Rachel was okay with it. Their plan for the day was to make a hike with their bikes. Ben and Freddy found out that Freddy's and Polly's bikes are still in the garage.But, before the ride, they had to clean and fix the 53-year old bikes. Polly was impressed with antibacterial cleaning sprays. After the bikes were ready, they decided their first destination was the farm shop. When they arrived, something very unusual happened. The women working on the cashier had piercing on. Polly thought it was some injury and she panicked. She hardly survived. It took some time for Ben and Rachel to explain what piercing is.
         
      They decided to stop at a hill and eat. When they finished, it was time to head back. They found Uncle Jerome on a tree which was located next to the gate. He found the camera. It was still there, but in a horrid shape. He said he remembered who the man from the tape was. At that point, an old man stopped by their gate and said:
 "Yes, it was me. Percival Shaw". He is a retired police officer. They walked him in and showed him the tape asking him about the car. Percival said he remembers the car. It was a government car. Freddy's and Polly's father worked with the government.
    The kids said there is no reason for the government to kill or do anything bad to their father.


      After Percival left and the kids ate dinner, they listened to the radio. Polly didn't like it so much. She didn't like the nasty jokes the speaker uses and some specific words used in songs.They explained to Polly, it was just a joke. They made a plan for tommorow to go downtown and do some more research in the library.


       When they got to bed, just before they turned off the light, Polly screamed. Bess, the dog, was bleeding.They figured everything was alright and she probably just scratched herself.

   The next morning, Polly and Freddy dressed up in 21st century style. They decided to leave Bess home today, just to be safe of the traffic. They parked their bikes in the park. There was a playground in the park. But, some things from the 1950's was gone.


   When they arrived in the library, the women there showed them the computers on which they can search articles from the 50's. Unfortunately, they found nothing.


      When they finished and got out of the library, they stopped to get Burger King. Freddy and Polly, like all other teenagers were amazed by the junk food. After they finished, Polly noticed something red on her napkin. They said it must be ketchup, but Polly knew it was something way worse.

  3. It's really funny how the one's from 1950s had to get used to the modern world. I like the part where Polly thought an old man was deaf and talking to himself, while he was speaking through earphones and on a microphone! Or when she wanted to wear the big flower in her hair, and Rachael had to tell her that that type of thing is not done nowadays! Nor are frocks worn to town. :D
