Time Locker

Donielle Ingersol

Joshua could not help it that he was the smallest kid in high school. For Porkey and his buddies though this was unforgivable. They bugged him every chance they got. He was locked in his own locker several times. Once they even put him in upside down. They really loved to do flushies to him in the boys bathroom. They would hold him upside down with his head in the toilet water and flush it. It didn’t matter to them if there was stuff in the toilet or not. If there was? That made their cruelty all the more jovial. If they cornered him outside? You can imagine what they did or tried to do to him if they were not stopped by someone else.
As the story goes those bullies would have eventually killed him had not Mr. Fiddles intervened. You see, Joshua lived in an area of the United States where at certain times, time anomalies occurred. If a person got caught in one unaware of what was happening, they could end up being propelled forward or backward in time. Mr. Fiddles had figured out how to manipulate these anomalies. So when a newspaper from the future reported the death of his neighbor from bullying, he set things in motion to prevent it.
What will happen to Joshua and will he ever be able to confront those bullies and stop their cruelty before they murder him? Bullying is a real problem not only in the US but worldwide. Every kid that has ever been the recipient of cruel pranks like Joshua endured would love to turn the tables on their tormentors. Perhaps there is a way? This story will allow for a debate on cruel pranks and bullying. It is the author’s purpose in this story to bring awareness to this problem and possible solutions for readers of all ages.
