The Believer!!

Who? A little boy called Jason.

What?

Why?

Time? midnight 12:00pm

where? San Bernardino

When? August the 18th 1957

On Monday the 18th of August in 1857, there was a little boy called Jason who was 11 years old, lived in San Bernardino.  He had been asleep for 100 years. He never believed in anything or anyone especially in his father and himself.

One day, everything changed. The road was blasting with all cars blazing and guns exploding like  fireworks, people were stealing from shops. Jason the little boy, woke up hearing his father saying to him, “Wake up you need to save your people!” Jason opened his eyes slowly and everything stopped like there was going to be an earthquake.

Once his eyes were fully opened, he could see demons controlling his people straight away. Jason was the only one who could see demons because he has a third eye (according to his father).  

Jason was more powerful than ever and could compete with the demons but, could compete with the King’s son or the King of demons. Jason prayed to God to be brave and give him strength  to save his people from harm. He trained and trained as hard as he could. He was tough  himself that he did not have any break time from morning to night until dinner. The demons kept coming but there was one thing he could do to save his people. He had to believe in himself and trust his father.

A while later, he found his father’s old book. He opened the book and on the first page it said, “Believe in yourself Jason!” Jason stopped and thought for a while. Then looked carefully at the page again. In the meantime, he did start to tell himself to start believing in himself and to always trust his father. A minute past and everything was back to normal. He couldn’t see anymore demons and all his people weren’t fighting, and stealing.  

The streets and roads were back to normal and he finally knew that the demons weren’t real and he was only dreaming.
