Barder and the Flying Turban (Creative Writing #2)

The dog and the boy pictured to the left have a very close relationship. The kid (Mikey) goes and plays with the dog (Barder) often and finds comfort in the dog. The kid definitely uses his imagination and likes to pretend that they are traveling to faraway places. The only way they can travel is with Mikey's orange turban, which he pretends is his way of flight. Mikey has a baby sister named Grace, whom he likes to take with him on his adventures. Places where imaginary creatures exist such as dinosaurs, dragons, unicorns, etc. exist are their favorite places to travel. Those places are always made-up and don't really exist, but Mikey and Grace like to think they do. Barder is their protector, and Barder keeps them away from harm.

One day while playing in his backyard, Mikey sat on Barder's back as if he was riding on a horse, and he put on his orange turban. Mikey decided not to take Grace along this time, because she was busy playing with paint. All of a sudden, Barder and Mikey were flying through space. They were looking at Earth from a distance and were thinking of a place to travel to. Traveling was quick. All Mikey had to do was say the name of any location, and Barder would take him there. Mikey told Barder to take him to Greenland, in which he thought that everything in Greenland was green. As they arrived in Greenland, everything was what he thought it was. They people, cars, animals, streets, schools, etc., was green. Mikey was so fascinated. Even he was green himself. Barder and Mikey walked in a museum of the history of Greenland. A philosopher who was walking around explaining the artifacts introduced himself as "Mr. Green." Mr Green took them to the green gym which had a green swimming pool. Barder and Mikey jumped in. All of a sudden, Barder and Mikey were back in their backyard. Grace was mad that Mikey hadn't taken her along. Barder and Mikey were so sad to be back so quickly, that they didn't even realize that baby Grace had poured green paint all over them. Mikey also realized that the orange turban had fallen off his head, and that's why they were back in reality.
