Personal Narrative Essay: Blood Brothers

Once upon a time, in the sunken city of Atlantis, there was a well known mathematician. This mathematician was a fish though, and was famous for discovering the pike-thagorean theorem. Now, this fish was facing the lowly task of tutoring a bunch of young fish in how to be successful in algaebra. Little did he know, he was being watched by an evil force as he went about this task. While the teacher taught his students about pollock-nomials, he was unaware that nearby, a waterproof robot bigger than a bread box was watching his every move. The robot had been sent on a spying mission by the evil leaders of the fish-tory group. These were a rival of the algeabra teachers who wanted math to become history in Atlantis. There motto was to “kill all
the fractions” so that the only use of numbers would be irrational. Until recently, the fish-tory professors could only have imagined they could achieve their goal. That was before i was killed by the robot last week. The mathematicians of Atlantis were devastated when they heard of the death of their imaginary friend, but they soon realized that there was now a real solution to all of their problems. All they had to do was eliminate the giant robot. The problem was that they were no longer seeing the robot at a constant rate. They had been unable to derive his location for weeks, that is until little Carl, a carp at the math tutoring program, saw the robot out of the corner of his eye. He yelled to his teacher, who immediately called the police and summed up the entire situation.
The robot, realizing it had been spotted, began to run off, trying to escape back to its masters. Luckily for the mathematicians, the robot didn’t realize some of their roads were not continuous, and it was soon lost. While the mathematicians were calling in more backup, the robot was trying to find a linear path back to the land of fish-tory. Soon, the mathematicians had amassed a huge army, and they would have surely caught the robot if their general hadn’t gone off on a tangent while giving orders. Unfortunately, he realized some of his sole-diers didn’t have their forms signed, and he was unable to let them fight until they signed them. The robot found its way home and alerted the professors that there would be an oncoming war. As both sides prepared for an all out war, the mathematicians made sure there was a way to easily differentiate between the two sides. To do this, they gave their soldiers very distinct uniforms. They were fluorescent green with pink polka-dots and had a very rough, scaly texture. When the fighting finally began, both sides clashed in an epic
showdown. The fish-tory professors were trying to attack on all fronts, while the mathematicians’ style was to divide and conquer. The war lasted many years, with no side gaining a clear advantage. The series of battles was getting exponentially bloodier and no end was in sight.
One day, the mathematicians decided to converge at a specified point. The professors were unable to find them, and they never would be. On that very day, while the mathematicians were planning their next attack right outside of Atlantis, near the Parentha Sea, a large unseeable force came to Atlantis. The fish-tory professors started swimming around in terror. Swimming right above them was a giant group of ducks, rare visitors to Atlantis, and they were hungry. The ducks started feasting on the professors and their subjects. Every last one of them was eaten that day, and the robot was destroyed in the ruckus. When the mathematicians returned to Atlantis the next day, they were shocked to see there were no professors anywhere. They found the remains of the robot, and found a recording of the events inside. After watching the events leading to the end of fish-tory, they realized that the professors were gone. A statue of the ducks was made in commemoration of the integral role they had played in the war, after which there was a feast of pies. The mathematicians then returned to their roots and became the greatest power in
Atlantis.
