The Power of Feces By Travis Rabun “ Uh, I hate Picking up this elephant poop every day,” Grunted Brian, as he shoved his automatic pooper sucker into a giant chunk of poop. “ At least I am saving the zoo a bunch of money because of my new invention I have created, and now I just need to ask permission to test it out.” Brian walked back over to his hovering poop transporter, and emptied his automatic poop sucker into the back. The then got in and drove to the drop zone and emptied the poop. Once At the poop drop zone, Brian looked at his watch. It was time for his break. He headed back to the break building, where he put his hand up to the scanner and opened the gate. Since it was nearly lunchtime, Brian got changed and headed over to the employee lunch area. He purchased his food and sat down at his own table thinking about how he could improve his device that turned poop into energy. As he was thinking, the director of the zoo walked by talking to what seemed to be himself, but Brian realized he was talking on his ultra small blue tooth device. “ What do you mean by you are shutting off the power. Is it because we haven’t been paying our electricity bill? I told you we don’t have the money for it right now? The director sat at a table adjacent to the one Brian always sat at. “You know that you cannot shut our power down. Our containment system for the animals is run on electricity, and if you shut off the power, the all of the doors will open, and all the animals will escape.” The director seemed really mad now. “Don’t say you’re sorry, just don’t… ugh!” The director pulled his phone out of his pocket, ended the call and slammed his phone to the table. Brian knew that this would be a good time to talk to the director about his plan. Brian got up for his table and walked over to the director and sat in front of him. Brian had never really sat face to face with the director. He was a chubby man with a round face, and he was wearing a suit with a tie that seemed to tight around his neck because his face was very red. “What do you want kid,” yelled the director. “ I couldn’t help over hearing your conversation, and I have a—,” announced Brian but he was cut off by all of the light shutting off. Dang it, I told them not to shut off the power until tonight,” said the director as he stood up and ran to the front the room. He yelled at the top of his lungs for everyone to be quite. “Every one don’t panic, There is nothing to worry—.” In the distance you could here a rumbling sound getting louder by the minute. All of the sudden Brian saw the water vibrating in his water bottle sitting next to him. He then looked out the window and saw a blur of animals run by. The director shouted, “someone shut the doors now!” A mass of people ran and got the door closed just in time because the animals were starting to rush at the doors. Every one was freaking out, but Brian sat still, watching every one run around. After a while Brian could start to here the directors voice screaming at all of the people to calm down. Finally after a few minutes of screaming, the director got everyone to be quite. “We need to get the power back on so we can get the containment units out there and stop the animals from escaping the zoo, does anyone have an idea?” “I have the solution to getting the power back on,” said Brian still looking out the window. Brian stood up and walked over to the director. “I have created a device that is run by poop, and will turn the power back on at no cost to you. All I need to do is get out to the device and activate it.” Brian was now standing next to the director. He had wanted to tell him ever since he had completed the device, and he had finally done that. “Okay, how are we going to get you out this door. There is no way you can get out of that door. There are a ton of animals out there, and you could get trampled. “All I need is for someone to create a distracion, and I will slip out the back.” “I have an idea,” said a maintenance man that worked in the building. “I will go up on top of the building and throw a large chunk of meat and other food off to one side.” “That is a good idea,” said the director, “go grab the food and start throwing it off the roof, and Brian go to the door and when the coast is clear run to your device and activate it.” “Here use my dart gun, if you run across an animal and you are in danger,” said one of the zoo keepers that worked with the Lions. “Thank you, and I will get that power on,” Brian then looked at the director and said, “when you see the lights go on, pull the lever to release the containment units.” “Okay. The Maintenance man is on the roof and has started to throw the food and the animals are starting to head over to the food. It is about time to go,” said the director, “good luck Brian, be safe out there. Okay the man is telling you to go, now run.” Brian sprinted out the door in the direction of his device. He had the tranquilizer gun in his hand ready to shoot at any time. It took him about five minutes to make it to the other side of the zoo, and as he neared the device, he saw a lion prowling around the power switch. Brian had never fired a gun before, and he knew that this would have to be his first. Brian lifted the gun and pulled the trigger. He heard a faint puff of air and then moan saw the lion fall over. Brian was pretty proud of himself and then he remembered what he needed to do. He quickly got to his feet and ran over to the power switch. He pulled the lion away and entered the code to the box. Once he got the box open, he flipped the switch and saw sparks lightning bolt fly out as if Zues himself had thrown them. After closing and relocking the box, he could here the sound of the containment unit capturing all of the animals. He Then walked back to the lunch are and saw a group of eople standing to welcome him. When he finally arrived, the director awarded him a cash reward and told him thank you. After working at the zoo for seven years, he quit the next day and decided to use the money to go to college and get a degree in teaching. After getting his bachelors degree, he moved to Colorado to a city named Highlands Ranch. There he got a job, at Highlands Ranch High school and taught English One Honors.
