The Unpredictable Map

Map.jpg

      Once upon a time, Ben was studying with his dad for a Social Studies quiz that was coming up. It was about the capitals of countries around the world. The dad was pointing at countries on the map for Ben to answer. He got all of them correct until the final country. He got that country capital wrong, and the map then sucked his dad into the country capital that he got wrong! Ben was freaking out and didn't know what he should do. He believed that there was some ghost in the map that would get really angry if anyone got the capital of the country wrong. He quickly called 911, but he should have been smarter because his dad is already in that country and it’s no use to call cops to his house. One of the police officers was scared to go in front of where the map had been, so he stayed back. His dad was right now in Ouagadougou, the capital of Burkina Faso, the one he got wrong. The dad was hypnotized and was under the Map’s control. The city was getting destroyed by him and nobody was happy about it. He was sending codes that can hack things like lockers that have valuable stuff in it. 

​

      His dad actually doesn’t know what he is doing, because the map was controlling him. On the other hand, Ben was dealing with the cops, and they called it a scam. He was trying to convince them to believe that his dad got sucked into a map. He then turned on the TV, and on every channel, it was talking about the mystery that is happening in Ouagadougou. Then suddenly, the map started flying which also made his dad fly to a beach near Ouagadougou. The map was right now heating up and was about to turn into a fire. Ben was clever, and he thought “Since they are near the beach, what if it is possible to put the lighted map into the water to cool it down. Maybe it will bring my dad back to a regular life with me.” Ben quickly made a remote control device that can move the map to the water, so they basically hacked the hacker. Luckily, Ben had taken a picture of the map, and shined a satellite on it, to track it in a different place. 

​

      Once the satellite found the map in Ouagadougou, Ben moved the map into the water with the remote control. The map was shaking and shaking, until it hurled all of it’s fire into the water! Since the map was in water and fully soaked, the map let go of the ghost spell on his dad. When he woke up, dad was freaking out and asking himself in panic, “Where am I and how did I get here?” Then, they used the remote control device to move the map to the dad. His dad pointed to where he lived, and the map sucked him back into the house! The police couldn’t believe their eyes, and said a big sorry to Ben. Wait a minute, what if the police who stayed back who acted like he was scared was the one controlling the map and Ben’s dad?........
