Crucible Experiences – POV

Welcome to the point of view stories. Let’s get started. First the past.

Nicola is a woman. Her best friends were Heva the dog and Chimmy the monkey. Together they were treasure seekers. They were on the Hawaiian island of Maui, hiding from a dangerous gangster who wanted to find them. They had been on Maui for a while. They had been hiding because they feared the gangster, Emile Rothchild.

During their time on Maui, Chimmy the monkey had learned to kite surf and had become a famous kite surfer in Hawaii. Heva the dog had enjoyed eating avocados every day and Nicola had just relaxed on the beach. Each day Heva continued eating avocados. Nicola continued to relax at the beach and Chimmy continued to kite surf.

One day, while Chimmy is kite surfing, a big jet ski came out into the water. Chimmy was annoyed because jet skis are not supposed to come into the kite surfing area. The Jet Ski sped towards Chimmy, went fast towards Chimmy. Chimmy got more and more annoyed. He said to himself, ‘Who is that idiot. Doesn’t he know it’s not safe for jet skis to be out here with kite surfers?’ Just as Chimmy was about to yell at the Jet Ski driver, he got a closer look. The driver was a giant rat wearing sunglasses. The rat was looking at Chimmy and he accelerated towards Chimmy.

Oh no, said Chimmy. He sped away from the giant rat and the rat accelerated more and started to gain ground on Chimmy. The Jet Ski got closer and closer. Chimmy could hear the sound of its engine, louder and louder. Just as Chimmy reached a big wave, he jumped high.

The kite pulled him and his board high into the air, up and over the giant rat. The rat looked up and watched Chimmy sail over his head and when the giant rat looked back down, he saw a huge wave coming right at him. The wave hit his jet ski and knocked him off. Chimmy yelled, see ya Getty, and sped towards the shore.

When he reached the beach he saw Nicola, who was lying on a towel. He ran to Nicola and said, let’s get out of here. Chimmy turned and pointed towards the ocean, towards a jet ski that was coming towards the beach. That, that’s Getty, they found us. He almost ran me over said Chimmy. Chimmy grabbed his kite and he and Nicola ran to their car and drove back to their home to warn their friend Heva.

At the house, Nicola and Chimmy arrived and said Heva, we’ve got to get out of here now. The three got back into the car and as they pulled out of the driveway five black BMWs came over the hill, driving fast towards them. Chimmy yelled, ‘the gangsters.’ Nicola slammed the car into drive and jammed her foot onto the accelerator and the chase began.

Next, let’s do the future version. This next version happens in the future. So imagine it’s way out in front of you in the future.

In the future, there will be a woman. Her name will be Nicola and her best friends, of course, will be Heva the dog and Chimmy the monkey. Together they’ll be treasure seekers. At this time in the future they’ll be on the Hawaiian island of Maui, hiding from a dangerous gangster who wants to find them. At this time in the future, they will have been on Maui for a while, because they will have been hiding from, Emile Rothchild. In the future, during their time on Maui, Chimmy the monkey will have learned to kite surf and he will have become a famous kite surfer in Hawaii. At this time in the future, Heva the dog will have enjoyed eating avocados every day and Nicola will have been relaxing on the beach every day. Heva will continue eating avocados. Nicola will continue to relax and Chimmy will continue to kite surfing.

Until one day, while kite surfing, Chimmy will see a big jet ski coming out into the water.

Chimmy’s gonna get annoyed. (Gonna means going to. He’s going to get annoyed). He’s going to get annoyed because jet skis are not supposed to come into the kite surfing area.

Chimmy will get more and more annoyed as it gets closer. He’ll say to himself, ‘Who is that idiot. Doesn’t he know it’s not safe for jet skis to be out here with kite surfers?’ But just as Chimmy was about to yell at the Jet Ski driver, he’ll get a closer look. The driver will be a giant rat wearing sunglasses. The rat will be looking at Chimmy and he’ll accelerate.

Chimmy will turn his kite to try to escape, but the rate will accelerate more and he’ll start to gain ground on Chimmy. Chimmy will hear the sound of its engine, louder and louder. Then Chimmy will see a giant wave. Just as he reaches the wave he’ll jump high in the air. The kite will pull him and his board up and over the giant rat. The rat will look up and he’ll watch Chimmy sail over his head. And when the giant rat looks back down he’s gonna see the huge wave coming right at him. And the wave is going to knock him off his jet ski. As it does, Chimmy will yell, see ya Getty, and Chimmy will head back towards the shore, he’ll go back towards the shore.

When he reaches the beach he’ll land his kite and he’ll see Nicola. He’ll run to Nicola and say we’ve got to get out of here and then he’ll point out into the ocean and she’ll see the Jet Ski coming towards the beach. Chimmy will say that, that’s Getty, they found us. He almost ran me over. Chimmy will grab his kite and the two will run to their car and then drive back to their home to warn their friend Heva the dog.

Nicola and Chimmy will arrive at the house and say Heva, we’ve got to get out of here now and so the three of them will get back in the car. As they pull out of the driveway five black BMWs will come over the hill, racing towards them, going fast towards them. Chimmy’ll yell, ‘the gangsters.’ Nicola will slam the car into drive and she’ll jam her foot onto the accelerator and the chase will begin.

That’s the end of our point of view stories for this month. Just listen to each version of the stories. Notice how the verbs change. Don’t think about grammar rules, just relax and enjoy.

See you next time. Bye for now.
