One day when I was about fifteen I heard the doorbell ring so I raced to the door. There I saw on the doorstep was an enormous box. What could be inside I thought? As I got closer to the box I heard a voice whisper saying open it. I opened the box only to stare at it with amazement. It was a machine type thing with a note saying be careful this could fix the weather you been having, its not a toy and its in your hands now. Where I have lived there was a drought and nobody had enough water to survive. I pressed a button on top that was orange and in mid winter it was sunny and eighty degrees. I then pressed it again and it went back to normal. After that I looked around frantically for anybody who could have left it on my doorstep but nobody was there so I kept it. One random school day it was snowing out. Everyone had a feeling there would be no school whats so ever tomorrow if it continued to snow but it stopped at midnight and I thought at this rate we would have to go to school. Remembering what I had that was stored in my closet from a year ago, I took it out and pressed the blue button. Once this was done I looked out my window and to my surprise it started snowing again but hard. I thought everything would be okay and went to sleep.

I have woken up earlier then usual just to be ahead of things that morning. School started at 1pm and It was 10:30 am on a Tuesday morning and it had snowed almost 10 feet, overnight. It was still windy and blowing snow showers where I have lived. I jumped out of bed and ran over to the machine seeing if there was a pause button. After looking around I saw it and stopped it. Ten feet was enough maybe too enough. I ran to my sister's room to tell her the news. It was a very cool day outside and just to make sure everything was okay that day, I decided I would turn on the tv to the weather station and checked for myself. Things came up and I decided we could do it later. My sister and I were both super excited since we haven't had school days off in years and it rarely ever snowed. We ran downstairs only to see our parents in the kitchen and snow pressed against the window. Our parents were cooking some sausage and bacon with sunny side up eggs for breakfast at the time. Discussing the problem of the snow and how we might be trapped in this house for a month if the snow didn't go down! Looking away from them I thought about maybe how much of a bad idea this was. I ran to the door rotating the doorknob and pulling. My mom came over and said," No, you'll knock the snow in!" Of course, I almost forgot so I helped clean up the mess and ran back upstairs to take a look at the news station.

It was totally and utterly a disaster! Everyone was stuck in their house, there were many traffic problems cars throw across the street even the news people were stuck at the new station! What have I done?! I went back to the machine and pressed the rewind button looking outside six inches suddenly disappeared and people started to merge from their house. Birds cripped as they sang a sweet lovely melody and it made me cheerful. I quickly went to my sister to ask her to play outside with me. She accepted and we went off outside. This time we could get out of the house. We lived on a dead end street, with only a couple of other homes surrounding us. Everyone in the neighborhood were friendly and my neighbor across the street came to join us with the fort I was building. Including the talking animals that wanted to help too. My sister didn't want to take part of it so she built a snowman.By the time we were finished building our fort, my sister was almost done with her snowman. She was putting on the finishing touches, when I rolled up snow from behind her and hit her with a huge snowball. Then not after a minute we all began throwing snowballs. The animals rolled up the balls for me and I used the fort for protection. Later the day was getting just about over and we all were tired, cold, and wet. We started to make our way back to our homes. We were so cold and wet that we got into warm clothes and piled up in a bunch of blankets just siting there as we drank hot chocolate. It got late so we went off to bed and I pressed the button on the machine to stop it from snowing or having snow on the ground tomorrow.

When I woke up everything was the same and it was like I was doing the same thing I did yesterday over again. How could this have happened I thought? I was nervous and didn't know what to do. If I told someone I doubted they would believe me so I just waited it off until tomorrow. Tomorrow the same thing happened. Its like time was repeating its self again. I didn't know what to do and was very scared. The thought of having another day like this was baring even though it was fun.Then something in my head made me do what I did. Its like something was telling me to destory it and hopefully by doing that everything would turn back to normal. Taking the machine I lifted it up off the counter and threw it against the wall. Some parts of the machine were still intacted so I stomped on it. Hoping it would work I looked outside and I was reliefed to see that there was no snow. To this day I will always remember what happened and when it snows I get terrified.
