New Tales of the Gobi Desert
The Gobi Pyramid
Regents Primary School of Shenzhen, Daniel Shen, Fiction: Group 2

t was the year 2100. Everything was peaceful and normal until one day horrified tourists
realized the pyramids from Sahara disappeared as if it turned into thin air. Authorities
immediately began investigation, but there was no progress. Years passed, and slowly people
began to forget about the mystery.
Five years later a police officer who has returned from service went vacationing in the
mighty Gobi desert. He was planning to stay for a few days. One day while he was minding his
own business, he spotted a tiny peak poking from a sand dune in the distance. The next day
he went off to investigate. After hours of driving, he finally reached his final destination, and
what appeared made him gasp in horror. The peak turned out to be the pyramid and a UFO was
hovering right above it. It’s too late to radio for reinforcements, so there is only one available plan
for him: Investigate all by himself.
As the officer approached the structure, he realized an obvious problem: the pyramid had no
entrance. He drove circles around it, and so far, no progress. He got out of his jeep and went to
rest on a stone brick. Suddenly there was an awful screeching, and BOOM the walls behind him
crumbled, and he fell right into the pitch darkness. That’s the last thing he remembered before he
blacked out.
Moments later he woke up to find him in a wide passage lit by torches. He continued through
until he got to an empty room. The cop felt a chill run along his spine. “Something is strange
about the room” he thought. He decided to throw something inside first to trigger off any booby
traps. He found a tiny pebble on the floor and chucked it.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!
In the blink of an eye the pebble turned into a pile of ashes. The officer’s face turned pale. He
peeked through the edge of the wall into the room, and he could clearly see a transparent semi-
sphere object.
A laser projector!
But how did the ancient pharaohs set up such a powerful trap? The mystery is getting even
more puzzling.
He then came up with an ingenious plan that could help him proceed. He took a piece of half
chewed gum and flicked it at the little gadget.
SPLAT!
It was a direct hit the gum covered the laser, thus preventing it from zapping anything. He
continued deeper into the pyramid. About 5 minutes later he heard talking, and as he got closer he
could see two aliens. They looked like floating brains with tentacles. They were conversating with
a funny voice, like the kind of voice you make with your nose covered. One said:” finally, after
so many years, finally we can take back what we owned!” the other said:” alright. The five year
check is done prepare for liftoff!”
The officer froze.
The culprits were the aliens.
