What If

What if...

The world was a bouncing ball?
Civilizations rise and fall
to the bounce of the
celestial pulse.
Impact,
the end of the dinosaurs.
Impact,
the end of man.
And perhaps after time
the ball will be lost.

Si- Fi!

Bo's Drawing
Cameron's Drawing Copyright 2009

We drew Si-Fi monsters in class recently. Here is our descriptive paragraph for it. Enjoy!
My si-fi monster creation project is about Napoleon Bonaparte's skull encased in a jar, which is mounted on a walking disc.The skull is lightly cracked in some places. The skull is inside a circular glass container. Inside the container is a green-yellow colored fluid, in which the skull is suspended. The juice is transparent,like stained glass. The top of the cylinder is covered by Napoleon's famous hat, which is black leather. It is shaped liked a pirate captain's. The bottom is a disk like a Frisbee that makes up where the cylinder sits. The disk has a wide rim and is made of blue metal on the top. The sides of it are blue and have black lengths of metal sticking towards the ground. They are shaped like cheese wedges. These are tapering and pointed, like daggers. Napoleon uses these to walk. He also has to white robotic arms extending from the front of his disk.They are colored in France's colors and are jointed in the middle. They have claws at the end. That is what Space Napoleon looks like; a skull in a walking jar.
