Hi, my name is Kinston. Today I am going to be traveling forward in time to see my career. ZAP! I stepped out and did a fluke cartwheel as I tripped on the curb landing right into a nice lady. She muttered under her breath, “Jerk”, and I gaped in shock. I bought a hotel room supplied with a computer in it so I could look up my name. It showed a picture of me on the roster of the Los Angeles Lakers. I was legendary for my jump hooks and up and unders. I was stunned when I saw my stats of game 7 of the NBA finals. I had 47 points, 12 rebounds, 18 assists, 2 fouls, and one turnover. Then I watched a video of myself getting a ball smashed right into my face, I flinched and I glared at the person who shot the ball. I saw people in the background snickering when they looked up at the score. Then I went back home.
Hi I am Kinston. I am going to go back in time to see what the pizza tasted like. ZAP! I stepped out of the time machine. I saw people baking pizza on the ground. THE PIZZA was sizzling. it was so hot. I asked these people if I could have a peice. They said I could so I looked for a particular piece. It had a clusters of pepperonis on it. It was sparkling from all of the greece on it. With extra meat. Then I took a stroll with the slice of awesome pizza. While I was walking, I saw someone surrender to the police because the thief robbed a bank and got caught. I ate a little bit more of my pizza before I went home.
Hi, my name is Kinston. Today one of my friends, Kael, and I will go to see Iron Man, Spider-Man, Captain America, and Hulk. ZAP! We stepped out of our time machine. The first thing we did was to pounce on a one hundred dollar bill. Kael said, “The person who dropped this must not responsible.” I contradicted him by saying, “Maybe he was responsible, but he was not being attentive.” Then he agreed with me. Just then a car swerved off the road. It crashed into a tree. It was going straight to a man standing by the road. Spider-Man shot him with a web. When it caught him, Spider-Man pulled him in tightly, saving the man. After that Iron Man, Captain America, and Hulk arrived at the scene. We went over and asked for their autographs. They said, “Yes” and we went home. When we got home, we darted straight to tell our dad and mom.
Jesus in the Synagogue by Kinston Knueppel
One day as Jesus was teaching in the synagogue, a man stood up filled with evil spirits said, “ What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? I know who you are, the Holy One of God!” Then Jesus said, “Be quiet, and get out of him” With a loud shriek it came out of him, and the man fell to the ground. The people were amazed. They said, “ This man says something to evil spirits and they obey him.”

Hi I am Kinston. Today I am going to go into the future to play the video game Madden ‘42. For the first time it strangely made a resounding “cat” sound. ZAP! I looked around, trying to find what made that strange noise. The town I was transported to by my machine looked really old. I went to a bar and asked the bartender who was wearing a rumpled apron, “What year is this?”
He said, “Well, it’s 1942, of course.” I left the bar in a hurry. I inspected the town that I was in. I went to their beach and saw some kids untangling a taut rope for used for the purpose of swinging into the water. Then I figured out what was going on. I was stuck in the past. I was supposed to be sent to the future. Oh, that's why the time machine made that resounding “cat” sound. My time machine must have broken! I was scared that I would not able to go back home. I would have to find a way. I overheard that materials I could use to repair the machine lurked all around the woods. When I went into the woods to find these random items, I felt a surge of relief. I found the materials that I needed. At first I was reluctant to rebuild my time machine, but it is going to happen...

1-12-18 Interview with the Young Man from Nain
I was lying on my coffin when a man walked up to me, put his hand on the side of the coffin, and said, “Young man, I say to you get up.” So I got up and started to talk to the people around me. They went back into town and spread the news that some kid was raised from the dead.

11-15-18Hi, I am Kinston. In my last story I did get back home with the time machine. Today I am going back in time to see the predators that existed 5,000 years ago. I am going to try to avoid the dinosaurs though. ZAP! I stepped out and tried to mimic a dinosaur. It was obvious that I looked dumb. I thought of the traits that the dinosaurs had. 1.) They looked vicious 2.) They were AWESOME!!!!!!! 3.) They are not intelligent. I saw a T-Rex that resembled another T-Rex. They lured me over to them because they looked so sweet and innocent. It was deceptive and quite different from what they really are. T-Rexes are not sweet! I made a run for it. I made it back to the time machine and got out of there.

Hi, I am Kinston. Today I am going back in my time machine to Pompeii in AD 79. ZAP! I stepped out of the machine and saw that Pompeii is a very poor and lowly populated country. Someone immediately said that in the depths of the volcano there was a god. They said the god would be revealed when the volcano erupted. At that very moment the volcano started to erupt. It was gradually and constantly erupting. I had to get out of there. I ran to the machine, set the controls for 2018, and pressed go. ZAP! I got out of the vehicle and went to the library to do all the research that I could about the volcano of Pompeii. I read that it continued to get smaller and contract over the following week.

Hi, I am Kinston. Today I am going to go to the jungle. I don’t think I told you this, but my time machine doesn't just time travel, but it can also take you to that place. I pressed start. ZAP! But something treacherous happened. My time machine made a very weird noise. I stepped out and plunged right into a swamp. I tried to get out, but it was hopeless. It was drudgery trying to get out of there, and it also seemed hopeless. I sceptically kept saying to myself, “ I’m never going to get out of this place!” I felt very discouraged. My shoes were altered with mud. The ground was smoldering from the heat. It was hard, but I did get out. I went home and told my friends about it. They scoffed at me!

Hi, I am Kinston. Today I am going to go see the “Tower of Pisa” . The time is August 14, 1173. ZAP! I stepped out of my time machine. The first thing I saw was a hermit. You could tell that he was a hermit because he avoided any contact with anybody. He completely stayed by himself. I dashed over to him, but he quickly ran away from me. I now changed my full attention and fascination on touring the “Tower of Pisa”. I saw people trembling in a strange and peculiar way. To the untrained eye, it looked like an ordinary but drab vertical building.There I now noticed a timid person trying to hide inside the “Tower of Pisa”. Occasionally people would walk by and laugh at him. I wanted to walk over and tell those people to stop, but I couldn’t because it had already happened. Remember, I was using a time machine! Since I had access to a time machine, I set the controls for five minutes earlier. ZAP! I stepped out and ran as fast as I could to go to the timid person. I stopped the people before they laughed at him.

Hi, I am Kinston. Today I will go to when Thomas Edison invented the electric light bulb. ZAP! I stepped out and saw a perfect sidewalk leading right to Thomas Edison’s house. I was on a quest to see Thomas Edison tinkering with the light bulb. There were barriers at the door. I will have to forge a way through. I trampled some people’s flowers. Before I tried to get into his house, he turned off all the lights and was trying to be a hoaxer.

Hi, I am Kinston. First I will go back in time to see my ancestors. Then to see some exotic basketball shots made by Australians. ZAP! I stepped out and saw Adam and Eve. ZAP! Then Cain and Abel, and so on. Next I went to see some exotic basketball shots made by legendary players of the past. ZAP! I was right in time to see one of the most amazing, graceful shots in basketball history. I am glad to participate in that shot, I maybe be shown on TV. Then I think somebody was being mischievous because he was holding something behind his back. But I was brilliant not to go by him because he had a gun.

Hi, I am Kinston. Today I am going to “giant town”. It’s a town filled with giants. ZAP! I stepped out and saw a giant. His stature was huge. He inadvertently kicked me! He apologized to me, “I am sorry. This was an accident. I only intended to walk to town.” I thought he could be resourceful at times if I needed his help. He told me that he was could be relentless. He would never give up if someone needed his help.
He took me to his house where I saw whole rooms full of gold. I had never seen such a bounty of gold. It was such a vast amount of gold. It was amazing. I took some of this gold home. I also invited the giant home too. ZAP! I roused all the people by shouting. “It will be OK!” Some people were still scared because he was so tall.

Hi, I am Kinston. Today I am not going to go back or forwards in time. I am just going to go to school and write about the following incident. I am walking to school with my best friends Kael, Riley J, Jacob L, and Sammy. We stopped and gazed at a magnificent tree. “Wow! What a great tree!” said Sammy. Riley, however, insisted that the tree was ugly. I declared that he was wrong. He did not like my contradicting him so we all went to school feeling distressed. Randy, the school bully, entered school with our group. He gloated that he was better than us at everything. Kael took Randy’s words as a challenge. Kael said that we should challenge Randy team to a game of basketball.
Randy’s face turned red, but our two teams agreed to play. We won the tip off. I confidently dribbled up the court, did a spin move, and took a jump hook. It swished. That's pretty much how much the game continued for awhile until Randy’s team caught up 20-20, going to 21. There was enough time for two more plays before recess was over. We dribbled up the court, but Randy stole the ball and made a layup 22-20. There were still three seconds left.. Jacob passed it into me down court. “3...2...1”, I shot a half court shot. It was in the air for what seemed to be forever. I waited anxiously. Swish! Riley yelled, “WE WON!” The bell rang. Our whole team went upstairs smiling. Randy just mumbled, “Lucky shot!”

Hi, I am Kinston. I am walking to school again with Kael. Kael said pridefully ,“The Lakers are the best team ever!” But I recall that the Bucks are. I selected Giannis Antetokounmpo, Brook Lopez, and Khris Middelton. Kael selected Lebron James, Lonzo Ball, and Brandon Ingram. He said the Lakers would win at the Staples Center Friday. The Lakers would have home court advantage. The won the game, 131-120. One of my favorite plays had Lebron dribbling up the court, and Giannis snacthed the ball. The game consisted of multiple steals, dunks, and 3-pointers. I most enjoyed when Lebron intended to make a dunk but missed.

Hi, I am Kinston. I am walking to school with Riley. I am bursting with laughter because a horse just made a really funny face. Riley had the opportunity to laugh too, but he missed seeing it. Then at recess we huddled to call a play. Kael was dribbling down, and I was sprinting to block it. SLAP! The ball went over the school and got ran over by a car. Miraculously the ball and the car were not damaged. I comforted Kael because he looked embarrassed. Then in history class our teacher said that we were going on a journey. We would be able to visit the President’s office. Fast Forward...we’re there! We walked into the office where I recognized our President. It was President Ronald Reagan, and there was a jelly bean jar on his desk!

Hi, I am Kinston. As I was walking to school one spring morning, I saw a remarkable event take place right in front of me. A fiery ball of flames was speeding right toward me. It looked like a meteor. I do think it really was a meteor!
Something, however, was moving around inside this blinding sphere of power. “Something” was exiting the meteor's interior. This creature looked like a “snotty green”-colored alien. I shot defensive weapons at it, but it easily withstood everything I used. It was also very difficult tracking its path across the sky. Its stealthy movements made it hard to keep track of its location.
This powerful being had a huge advantage over me. When I would fire explosive charges toward it, my powerful charges would just be reflected right back toward me. That hurts! I tried to extract its power away from this object as it got nearer, but that plan was not possible.
Finally when it landed on our school parking lot, it seemed as if it had used all its power supply. It lay powerless near our school dumpsters. I gathered up all my courage and approached this “lifeless” object. I soon realized that it was not suitable for me to either take it home or use it as a show-and-tell for my youngest brother, Kidman. I just knew Mom and Kidman’s teacher, Mrs. Festerling, would not like this at home or at school.

Hi, I am Kinston. I am walking to school right now dodging a bunch of obstacles. Of course, since it rained a lot last night, those obstacles were puddles. With all this moisture the trees are very elegant with the sun shining shining off the bright, green leaves. . I also saw an massive,eerie creature roaming around our neighbor's yard. It had a greenish-purple color. With no warning it died next to our backyard swimming pool.
The next morning I discovered a time machine near our mailbox. There was luggage and bags next to this large piece of equipment. I looked at the name tags attached to each bag. Each of the tags on every single bag had a person’s name printed. That person’s name was me!
I entered the time maching in the only door I could find on this time machine, I was transformed forward in time. I had to find out where I was sent. It was a very complicated contraption. I safely got out of it, A flying car zoomed right past me. I fell to the ground and the creature that I saw the day before submerged right under me.

I want to be the Cowardly Lion. I want to play that part because he has to be Big, and I am tall. He needs to have a great roar, and I can make a great impression of a lion roar. You also don’t really need that much of a costume. You just need a mane, a lion costume, and some whiskers. This is why I would want to be the Cowardly Lion.

Hi, I am Kinston. Today I am going to tell my mom to tell the school that I am sick. She did, and it worked! I am now planning to go on an ancient adventure with Riley Jehowski and Giannis Antetokounmpo. This adventure would take us on a distant journey. We had to travel to Syria to visit my two lovely uncles. We flew directly to Syria. When we got off the plane, it was scorching hot.
I didn’t tell you what I am searching for yet. It was a golden sword. I have heard that it is embedded deep in a rock. It was partially hidden by a cascading, glistening waterfall. There was no bridge or trail to pass by all this water obstacle . That meant that we had to make a dangerous, lengthy jump!
We jumped and landed safely near the sword. There we saw our next problem. The sword had sentries guarding it, but we were prepared. We had brought machine guns and a bazooka. We shot the bazooka and the all the guards died. We had to erode the rock that surrounded the sword. After we took turns working the sword free from the rock, we were all weary. We got the sword and got out of there.
