AUTHOR’S NOTE As a child, I have always explored and dived into many creative and imaginative stories and sometimes, I even write many stories in my free time. So, I decided to write a fictional story one day which is the book you are reading titled ‘’A Day to Cherish!!’’ It is a fictional story which tells that I am experiencing a normal day till all the non-living objects in my house, come to life. This peculiar day turns into a memorable one when I and my non-living friends spend 24 hours doing many activities. Then suddenly, the invigilator calls out my name saying that the competition was over, meaning that the whole ‘’talking to my non-living friends’’ was a story. Then, when the judges were announcing the prizes, I was one of the top three winners! What a delight!! Later on, I saw a Pomeranian and a parrot in our family, a gift bought by my parents for how proud they are of me. Definitely a day I will remember. This story tells readers how a normal girl like me, can put their creative sides to the task and bring out something imaginative and wonderful. It also tells us how our parents are always there for us and they can understand our feelings like no one else can.
One fine day late in the morning, I woke up to the sound of chirping birds and the shining sun. I pushed the curtain to one side and peeped through the window and I was by all means ready to welcome another bright new day. I was enjoying every single moment when I was rudely interrupted by a sudden noise. It was yelling at me and compelling me to wake up. As usual, I thought it was my mother's voice. When I woke up and went to brush my teeth, I heard the noise again. But this time, it was a different voice telling me to brush my teeth. I thought it was from my sister who is always very fond of commanding me. In fact, this was an intrinsic trait that she has taken over from my mother. Anyway, I just continued. When I came out, I heard another voice again which told me that I should quickly be at the breakfast table. Now I was burning with rage. I was furious because since morning everyone has been giving me orders. I straight stomped into the kitchen and decided to give a piece of my mind by yelling. That is when I realized that my mom and sister were not there. I checked the other rooms and they were not there too. I vaguely recalled that my sister had to go to school early in the morning for a choir practice session and my mom also had to leave early for work. That left me in a state of shock. Then who was making that noise since morning? This question was pondering in my mind ever since I realized that there was no one else in the house other than me. I was scared and a cold chill ran down my spine. I was feeling dizzy, I almost fainted and fell down. I thought for a moment, \"Was my place haunted?’’ Then again, the noise came. I was so frightened that I ran helter-skelter and did not know what to do. My whole body was trembling with fear and I was profusely sweating. I whispered to myself, \"Who was making that noise? \" That is when I heard a toothbrush replying. “I made that noise\" I jumped with a shrill and ran outside. I yelled on the top of my voice. Slowly I realized that my books, bed, pillows, furniture, clock, and every possible object in my house was talking to me. I took a knife and was ready to fight but that was talking too. I was alarmed and dropped it; it fell right near my toes. I picked up courage and asked them if they were going to harm me in a shrill voice. They instantly followed with a hooting laughter and replied that they were not going to harm me but just wanted to be my friends for one full day. I breathed a sigh of relief and stood up. They all introduced themselves to me one by one. We soon became good friends and were chatting happily. They told me that they were empowered with magical abilities and could speak for just 24 hours after every 100 years... I was fascinated to hear this.
They pleaded at me to keep my books away and spend time with them. I thought for a while and I decided to grab this opportunity. So, I decided to spend the whole day with my new friends in the house. It is not every day we see our bed and chairs talking. I made popcorn and pizza, we sat together and watched a movie. After this, we played a lot of games like running race, hide and seek, blindfolding and had good fun. We then stepped out of the house and took a long stroll to the nearby park. All the people around were looking at me in a very strange way as I was walking and talking with an army of objects that were inanimate to them. The clock struck 11.59 pm. With just one minute to go, I was wondering what else I can do to keep them in my memories forever. I quickly grabbed a camera and we all posed for a selfie which I will cherish forever. At stroke 12, they started to lose their magical powers and fade away and I got back to my routine of hearing the same commands as my mom and sister arrived. I hit the bed with wonderful memories of the day, and I wished that such days keep coming every now and then, and not once in 100 years. Suddenly the bell rang, and we all were asked to put our pens down and submit the paper as the story competition had come to an end. I was eagerly waiting for the results. After a long wait, the results were announced, and I emerged as one among the top 3 winners!! I was called to read my story after which I received my prize and happily walked down the stage.
Then suddenly, I found my parents were missing. When I asked my sister, she said that they left in a hurry just at the same time as I was coming down the stage. After a while, our parents came and took us home. But the surprise of winning did not stop there!! When we reached our car, I was overwhelmed to see 2 new members - a talking parrot and a cure little Pomeranian. My parents, after hearing my story had rushed to the nearby shop to fetch these pets. How nice of them to understand my feelings!! This was one of my best days ever, don't you think so??
A normal day happens to me. Suddenly I realize no one is there in my house. But I was sure that I heard some noise. So where was all that coming from??? Turns out the non-living objects in my house started to talk, and we all had a fun day together!! But was this a true incident or just a simple thought in my mind? FIND OUT!!
