(1)
Pretending.
(2)
I'd like to pretend.
(3)
I'd like to make up things that aren't real.
(4)
I use my imagination.
(5)
I was pretending that I was in a time machine.
(6)
I set the date for a prehistoric time.
(7)
I turned on the time machine and it buzzed and whirred and spun madly.
(8)
When it stopped spinning, I opened the door and stepped out into a very thick jungle.
(9)
I listened carefully to the sounds of the jungle.
(10)
I could hear strange animal noises and the leaves were rustling.
(11)
I wasn't sure if I'd gone back in time or just landed in a jungle somewhere in the 21st century.
(12)
It didn't take me long to realize that I had indeed gone back in time.
(13)
A very strange birdlike creature with a large beak flew overhead.
(14)
I'd never seen anything like it in my life.
(15)
I took a few steps out into the long grass and ferns.
(16)
I didn't want to go too far away from my time machine.
(17)
I heard a noise over on my right side.
(18)
There was a man who looked quite different from me.
(19)
He was dressed in an animal skin and he carried a big stick.
(20)
I didn't want him to see me, so I hid behind a tree.
(21)
He didn't speak any language that I could understand.
(22)
He grunted at someone who must have been in the distance.
(23)
Then I felt the earth shake beneath my feet.
(24)
I heard giant thumps on the ground as the floor of the jungle shook.
(25)
The man in the animal skin began to run.
(26)
I saw why he was running.
(27)
A giant dinosaur appeared above the tops of the trees.
(28)
It was bigger than anything I had ever seen.
(29)
My heart began to pound in my chest.
(30)
It was coming toward me.
(31)
I ran toward my time machine and jumped in.
(32)
I set the dial for the 21st century, the machine whirred and buzzed.
(33)
My time machine landed in the 21st century.
(34)
I got away just in time.
