The Adventures of Elecro boy and Bob the scientist

The story is set in the future the year is 2117. The location is in a strange city on earth with no name. Anything can happen in the strange city.

A boy called Dan and his friend Bob live in the city.

Dan lives with his mum and dog Max,in a mansion, and Bob lives with his mum, dad and dog Joe next door.

It was a sunny October morning and the boys were on their way to school as usual. Their morning lessons were usual, their lunch was usual, their afternoon was usual. On their way to art club things became slightly unusual.

As they walked past the janitor’s office they saw a mysterious blue glow through the crack of the door. Bob said to Dan “quick we’re going to be late” Dan turned around and looked a Bob, he smiled and said “I’m going to investigate you’re going to have to cover for me”. “Tell the teacher I didn’t feel well and my mum picked me up, then meet me back here in an hour after Art club” Bob quickly went to art club while Dan slowly approached the door. He felt a strange feeling inside and the hair on his arms was standing up. He stepped into the room; he could just about see where the light was coming from as his vision was blurred by strange tiny blue sparkles in the air. As he stepped closer to the light then the room went black and he felt a rush of energy. Dan began to feel dizzy. He staggered towards the door guided by the light shining through the keyhole in to the dark pitch black room. He stepped out of the door and into the corridor, disorientated by the bright lights. He could hear Bob calling him then felt him grab his arm and say“come on we are going to be late”.

The journey home was a bluer and Dan found himself in his bed. When he woke the day looked dark and dull, Dan was too cold to get out of bed and turn his light on. He sat staring at the light then all of a sudden he felt a rush of energy and the light came on. Dan could not believe what had happened, he looked at his bed lamp and felt another rush of energy and in a blink the light had turn on its self. He was amazed. He called Bob and told him to come over now! Bob was there in a flash filled with excitement. Dan turned the lights off and showed Bob his powers. The two sat talking for hours before deciding to go to the library to investigate the bright blue light in the janitors office.

They searched the internet and read dozens of books but found nothing. With the library closing the boys felt disheartened.

On the way home they met Casper, the bully in their class at school. He told Bob to give him his sweets. Bob was shaking nervously and Dan felt helpless when all of a sudden he felt a rush of energy inside him, the sky became dark and it started to rain. Casper then pushed Bob to the ground. Dan felt the energy inside him blow then a bolt of lightning shot from the sky and hit Casper, it hurt so much he ran away. Bob and Dan headed home.

That night Dan got into bed and dreamed about his new powers and what would happen tomorrow, as they do live in the strange city with no name where anything can happen.
