Dinosaur Adventure In The Cretaceous Period

The time machine landed with a big bump, I was back in the age of the dinosaurs! My hand shook as I swiped my key card to open the door, what would I find outside? ...

Then I couldn't believe my eyes; I saw jungles, swamps, and field lands. I saw hadrosaurs in the field and Triceratops with the hadrosaurs. I saw something in the jungle; I suspected I saw Tyrannosaurus rex, the king of the dinosaurs.

The T.Rex was charging towards the Triceratops herd. They planned to protect their herd, but something was very wrong. The T.Rex planned a herd for himself in order to beat the protected Triceratops.

They separated and finally, one of the T.Rex has gotten a hold of a sick and weak Triceratops. The herd began to runaway from the T.Rex. Soon they began the feast and I looked at how they ate. They must eat like vultures do. They eat it and clean their dinner when they are finished.

I followed the male T.Rex because he was carrying meat from the Triceratops. So, I began my journey to find the male. I followed him into the badlands, where I figured out what he was doing. He was feeding the meat to his baby T.Rexes and they were about six of them.

I heard a strange roar. The male responds, and then I saw a big female T.Rex. The babies were sort of chirping to communicate with their mother. Then I heard something behind me, it was a Dromaeosaur. It stared at me in the eyes, it was possibly curious.

Then the female T.Rex saw the dromaeosaur and me. She began to roar, and then we both ran away. The dromaeosaur disappeared out of sight. Then I began to question myself, I was thinking that maybe the T.Rex would abandon her young when they were eighteen years old.

I went back to the time machine; I began my date and time to go back where I came from. Then I saw a baby T.Rex, it was about 6 feet tall. I looked at him strait in the eye. I got closer and closer, then I touched his snout. He began to sort of purr like a cat.

Then both of us saw the meteorite come in and hit our planet. Then I began to run and the T.Rex followed me into the time machine. I then locked the door and pressed go. We zoomed back in time where I came from. My people won't believe what I bought back. I kept him as a pet and he had the happiest days of his life.

The End

Conor that was amazing, a really good read, thank you. Your pet T-Rex must have eaten you out of house and home... and I hope you kept him on a lead :-)
