""What Goes Around Comes Around""

his story starts out with a very loyal dog that lives in Springfield, Illinois. He was a mixed breed dog who was brown with green eyes. Since the owner did not give him a name they just called him dog.

This dog always kept the neighborhood kids busy by letting them chase him all around the neighborhood. This pleased all the parents because first it kept them out of the gangs and they said, " You cannot play with the dog unless you do all of your chores and receive a B+ or higher. To their astonishment it actually worked.

But during their playtime around 5'clock the enormous black truck came rumbling down the street and caused a minor earthquake. Spewing out coal black smoke. Everybody ran inside their homes like they were about to be bombed. The dog not knowing what was happening the gigantic man came out so quite and fast like a fox and held the dog five feet in the air by his collar. Choking him in the process and threw him inside their house. His name was Mr. Hate.

Mr. Hate was unfortunately this dog's owner. The dog would always try his bets to please Mr. Hate but it never worked. Day in and day out Mr. Hate would abuse the poor dog so one day a neighbor called the police but coincidentally Mr. Hate was the Chief of Police so he could always bluff his way out. Still no one could understand how happy the dog could be while he is getting mistreated everyday.

Frustrated, the whole neighborhood got together, including the dog, for a plan to get the dog to a safer home and threw of Mr. Hate off of that suspicion. They would try to keep the dog but Mr. Hate would find out and there would be serious consequences. The plan was very simple; it was called "Plush Pooch".

The very first step was to hide the dog at one of the neighbor's farthest away from Mr. Hate's house. Then at the nearest toy store they would buy a plush dog that resembles the dog the most. Then as Mr. Hate's enormous truck came into view, the plan was put into action. First, they grabbed a car, put the fake pooch out in the road and ran over it. Then as Mr. Hate's truck came to a screeching halt, he stepped out and said," Oh well, he was good for nothing anyway." Everybody held their ferocious anger in, but soon they calmed down as the enormous black truck continued home.

Later that night the neighborhood served a gigantic banquet for the dog, the best meal he had ever had. After he finished they released him into the land beyond. They all waved good byes as he trotted down the street. He took shelter in the homes of pet lovers whom he had touched with his adorable puppy eyes. He usually only stayed at their house for a week and caught trips with truck drivers. This resulted in him visiting 10 of the beautiful 50 states. Some of the states he had visited were Nevada, California, and New York. He listened to all of the different accents and observed their eating habits. But soon he grew homesick after 7 months of traveling. Fortunately a truck driver was going by his hometown, so he hitched a ride home.

As he arrived everybody was so glad to see him. But he came back to teach Mr. Hate a lesson. The plan was called "Ghost", yeah I bet you know what he is going to do. I also know that you think Mr. Hate deserves more, but the dog just wants to teach him a lesson.

Later that night they covered the dog in a layer of flower. As you have seen in the movies, the tree tapped on the window, scary shadows on the wall. This woke up Mr. Hate and showed his girly side when he covered himself in a blanket. Then the big finale came.

The dog came through the window howling the scariest howl you have ever heard. Then suddenly he jumped out the bed and through the window. Screaming, as he tore off running down the street. As everybody was watching from inside their houses they laughed and met outside bragging about the part they helped in the plan.

Some say he joined a loony circus and others say he took shelter in the sewer with mutant crocodiles. The saying related to this story is "What goes around comes around in this world or the next."



The End
