Fiction Story

The Lapis Lazuli Ring

O ne day, after a long day of work, a man named James was returning

home. He was walking down by the street and that’s when he saw some-
thing shining on the road. When he went closer to it, he saw a lapis lazuli
ring. Usually, these rings don’t shine so bright. He decided to wear it.
When James wore it, he suddenly fell to the ground, unconscious. When
he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was two weird looking men,
looking at him. They had blue skin, big eyes (very big indeed), and green
spots and stripes on their body. He was very scared but when he looked
upon himself, he saw something that made him more horrified. He was
one of them!!!! His body was blue in color, covered in green stripes and
spots and he had big eyes!!!!! He was very curious about the place, the
people and even himself!!!! He was even more surprised when he saw
that THEY SPOKE ENGLISH!!!

One of them said “ Hi, I’m John, it’s nice to meet you.” Now James
became more curious. James asked them, “Which place is this? Who are
you?, Why am I looking like them-“ As he was about to complete his
sentence, the other one said “We know that you have a lot of questions
in your head right now. But I’m sure all of them will be answered once
you listen to what we are going to say. By the way, I’m Lucas.
