Post #2: Time Capsule (Creative story)

The Time Capsule

*Story and ideas by Phuong. Warning: The details in the story are not real. This is a fiction.*                         


   It was Saturday. I have just finished a full lunch. Lying on the couch with the magazine on my hand but not reading it, I think of what to do next. I stood up and look outside of the window. 
   The weather is so perfect, light wind with a little bit of sunlight. I decide that I would go for a walk in the garden.
   The garden behind my house is connected to the bushes leaded to the neighbor's garden, so we shared a huge piece of land where I could kill my time. The garden are filled with plants and flowers. Roses, sunflowers, daisies, some vegetables and all sorts of trees. I sat down in front of a purple tulip, took out a paper on a hard piece of board with a pencil and start measuring and sketching the beautiful flower. 
   Suddenly I saw something shines from the ground very brightly. I crawl over and use my pencil to push the dirt out. A key.
   I quickly went to the store room and find a shovel to dig up the ground. I found a not-small-not-big box. On the top, there is a small square the wrote "TIME CAPSULE - Open in 2012". That was last year.
   I once again ran into the store room to find a hammer. I unlock the the lock and then open it. Guess what I found inside.
   The first thing I saw when I open the box was 2 dresses, 1 red 1 blue. They were made of the type of cloth that is really thick and heavy. They were long to the ankles, and have black buttons on them. 1 long sleeves and 1 short sleeves, with no flower or decoration. I wonder who would where such thing. They would probably be sweaty on the sunny days.

   The second thing is some black and short wigs. They were kind of curly and looks old.
   The last thing I found was a black and white photo of some people wearing clothes that look like the other 2 dresses.
   After doing some research, I found out that these stuff were near the 1950s. I think that this is a great idea to store things that are from my time so the people in the future can see how it was in the past. I am going to find a box to make a TIME CAPSULE and burry it deep under the ground so maybe in 2100 or some when other people might see what it was in 2013.
