My Life

By: Tyler Nichols

As I look back now I can see that things started to get interesting around 5^th grade. I am now 86 and living well. And If I look back I can remember that in 2004 I graduated from elementary school, but that isn’t all I also got my boating license. In 2007 I turned 13 but what was a lot more exiting was when I graduated from middle school in 2008 when I was 14. In 2009 nothing was real big, I was just your average teenager in high school. In 2010 the fun was just starting, I turned 16 and got my drivers license and now that was cool! Well, when I got a truck later in the year.

2011-2020(18-27)

My next big event would probably be 2011 when I turned 17, because I got a job at Burger King, I was the french fry guy. I also made the Varsity swim team that year. Then the next year I graduated from high school. Until 2015 nothing was really exiting but then I met Laura. It was kid of weird how we met though. I was going to see Jurassic Park five, and the theater was full so we ended up sitting next to each other. We started to go on dates and then two years later, in 2017 when I was 23 we finally got married, and that was one of the best moments of my life!

In 2018 we went on a honeymoon to Hollywood and saw about seven sneak previews. My next big event wasn’t just a little big event it was huge! In 2019 I graduated from college with my Masters degree, I celebrated till about 1:00 in the morning at the comedy club The Evil Gerbil.

The next year my brother graduated from collage with his masters and we celebrated at The Evil Gerbil till about midnight. Later that year my brother and I started a detective agency called: Doug’s Detective Agency. We cracked about 20 or so cases. Our house became the headquarters for the detective agency, meaning Doug came to live with us. Laura turned out to be a teacher.

My longest distance case-and most expensive-would be the one in 2024 when I was 30; I had to travel to Ireland to track down a bandit that had robed about six banks. After we had solved the case me, Laura, and Doug decided to stay for another week or so. Two years later on June 17th we had our first kid, we named him Mike. He is now 54 and has his own kids. When Mike was three we had another baby and we named him Bill. He is 51 has his own children and is living well. In 2030 I had to miss Mike’s first day of school because I broke my leg the day before and was still in the hospital. Doug ended up having to do a case without me because I was on crutches for the next month.

2031-2040(38-47)

A year later in 2031, when I was 37, Doug, Laura, and I went to the Bahamas. Because we were on an island we decided that when we got back we should get some fish in memory of the vacation. So when we got back, we purchased five fish, a fish tank, a filter, some fake coral, and a sunken ship for the fish to swim in. Then three years later we made an extension to our house and it cost about $10,000, but now our house was a lot bigger on the downstairs. Maybe it was just me, but I felt like I was jinxed because when I woke up on what was going to be Mike’s first day of 3^rd I fell down the stairs and broke my arm, so I had to miss Mike’s First day of third grade. On the way to the hospital I remembered that it was also Bill’s first day of Kindergarten. Two more years went by and it was 2036 I was 42 and I decided that I was tired of solving crimes, and I wanted a new job. But Doug stayed a detective and Laura stayed being a teacher. I went back to collage for another three years and I earned a P.H.D., Doug joked and said I had earned a PreHistoric Dinosaur. The reason that I went and got my P. H.D. was I wanted to be a scientist. That year for my birthday I was tuning 45 and it was 2039, I received a copy of Starfox Adventures, the reason Doug got it for me was because It was by my 5^th grade friend Matt Dennis. The next year I got a new truck.

2041-2050(48-57)

In 2042 I did something really cool because I made a pendulum that would never stop swinging. I patented it and sold them for about $1,000 dollars a piece. All I told my customers was to start it swinging and it would never stop. Out of the “never stop pendulums” I made about 15,000. Two years later when I was 50 I took $1,500 or so and I took Laura on a cruse to the Caribbean for her birthday. Again when we got home we decided to get some more fish, but this time, we got seven more fish. The reason we got seven was because two had died so we got replacements for them plus five more. Two years we got two cats we named them Slinky and Snowball. In 2047 some of my scientist buddies and I figured out a way to get people to Mercury without freezing or burning up. We gave the plans to NASA and they approved of it! In 2050 I had my fifth grade friend, Jake designed a new house for Laura and I. Doug stayed in the other house. It cost about $125,000 so we were paying back the back for about 15 years.

2051-2060(58-67)

In 2052 my cat snowball died. It was a sad day. I came home from work and I didn’t see Snowball anywhere. Then Laura told me that when she came home that day (November 25) she found Snowball lying under the table sleeping, he had been a little lazy the last week or so. She then saw him lying in the exact same position three hours later So she wrapped him up in a blanket and put him out side and that was were he was at that moment. So I took the shovel and dug a ditch about two feet deep and four feet long. Laura brought out Snowball and carefully set him in the grave I had dug. The next day I took a rock that was about one square foot to work. I then took acid and engraved the letters S-N-O-W-B-A-L-L on the rock. When I came home I pored some water on the ground and set the rock in the mud above were we buried Snowball.

It was a triadic couple of years because in 2054 my mom died at the age of 93 on March 9. A funeral was held and my dad, Doug, Mike (who was now 28 and married), and Bill (who was 25) attended. A lot of my mom and dad’s other friends were there to. Three years later (I was 63) I was so exited when I got a call from Mike, I was a Grandparent! Mike had had his first kid, her name was Emily. In 2059 I retired at the age of 65. The next year my dad died at the age of 97, it really was a tragic couple of years.

2061-2070 (68-77)

In 2061 Bill got married, so now both my sons were married. The next year Mike had twins. Their names were Steven and Joey. That Christmas Santa wasn’t the only one who left something. The grim reaper had left something to; we came downstairs to find slinky dead on the floor. I was sad for another week because now we only had two pets: Nemo and Fin they were the only fish left. Then tree years later there was a happy moment in all of the sad; because Bill had his first kid. His name was Jim. The next year Emily graduated from high school.

Then just 11 years ago I decided to wright a book. It tuned out to be a lot more work than it looked because I first had to right 50 pages or so (on Microsoft word 501) and then I had to get it read by the editor (It seemed like he wanted to change a million things). Then, after all the changing and editing, the book had to get published. This whole process took about one and a half years. Then it took another quarter of a year to come out in bookstores. Finally on September 3^rd of 2067 my book, “Dark Abyss” Came out to the public. It took a good three months to catch on but it became a big hit. I eventually made around $10,000 off of it.

2071-2079 (78-now)

In 2071 Bill had his second kid. Her name was Jennifer. Then the next year Emily graduated from collage with her masters degree. She had decided to become a children’s doctor. That day was very cool it was a little boring in the beginning with all the speeches and stuff. But the cake was fantastic! It was about four feet high. There was nothing that was big between now and then. We had a couple of big thanksgivings and Christmases but that was about it. That was what my life.
