Okay, none of the characters of Primeval are in this story. This is just kinda...based on the show. All that I have really relating to the show are the anomalies and going through them. Primeval is referenced, but this is not strictly Primeval...I'm rubbish at explaining things. There are no Primeval characters at the moment, but I may feel the need to someday add Jess and Becker. Becker because he's awesome, and Jess because...do I need a reason to add Jess?

Just read. Please?

DISCLAIMER: If I owned Primeval, I would own a raptor to go with it. Obviously, I don't own a raptor, so I don't own Primeval either.


There has always been a mystery as to how our predecessors of the world lived in their time. 'Their time' being the time of the dinosaurs. The shroud that blocked our view into the world of then is now gone, for we now have knowledge of the prehistoric world. The only problem is that with the knowledge came a question that no one seems to be able to answer. Why is there gum in the stomach of a Tyrannosaurus Rex?

The story begins a long time ago, with a curious dinosaur that very well shaped the world for high school students today. What? They're always asking for gum! Anyways, the dinos obviously had an accomplice; we just don't know who that is yet. Or was. Never know, they could have come around at dinner time. Poor chap, we'll never be able to ask them what on earth they were thinking going around in the Cretaceous, though it is an interesting thought.

For the part about how we know about the gum, and for future reference in this writing, it started with an excavation site. I was there when the dug up the bones and found the gum, long lasting gum it was. Pretty impressive. Along with that a camera was found, so of course we developed the film we found inside. The pictures showed the most peculiar sites. A person back in time, wearing modern clothing (a fedora and everything), and petting a pterodactyl. Show off…I'm so jealous.

What I find to be the most interesting is the fact that in the background there was a very much alive dinosaur blowing a bubble, which appeared to be pink gum. That's not even the strangest part. Yes, it can get even stranger. Not sure how considering that this basically means that there is time travel, and some fool figured it out and went prehistoric with it. Plus the imbecile gave a dinosaur gum. Pink. Bubble. Gum. Come on, he had to know that would mess up its insides something crazy. I mean really, it's like how you're not supposed to give chocolate to an animal, let alone gum. Plus the amount of gum it would take for the mouth of a T-rex…this fellow has to be mad! And why did he have this much gum?! Who has that much gum? Even companies that MAKE gum don't have that much gum.

Off track there. Anyways, the strangest part of the picture is that apparently the bubble's would break off and float away on their own like soap bubbles, but stronger. Because there were a couple of small animals (or at least small in comparison to the larger inhabitants of the planet) were inside the bubbles, floating around! What on earth was going through that man's head?!

…and what kind of gum was that?


Hoped you liked it. This started as an idea for a bubble gum commercial in multimedia, then into a story for creative writing. And this was about a week or two before I started watching Primeval. The rest I wrote while watching Primeval. Let me know what you think.

Seriously, review. I appreciate constructive criticism and anything that adds to my writers ego. Plus I'd like to fix any typos I missed.

Thanks for reading
