Ahhh, to be young again 3 James walked into the living room. Followed by him was his uncle, Clarence. He walked past a mirror that reflected an image of him he was still trying to get used too...the image of a little kid.James simply stopped in his tracks. Clarence walked around James as he was carrying the formerly 26-year-old boy's heavy backpack with his computer and books inside it.James simply stared....he was wearing a shirt and pair of pants that the hospital had inside the gift shop."This is...so weird, uncle!" said James."I know, but are you feeling okay...not hurting or anything," said Clarence."No, I just feel, kinda weird, short and wait...what t
Ladies Night Out - 3 Ken wrestled to try and get the audio feed to re-activate. No luck."Carl, how many times have I told you NOT to drink near your laptop!!?" said Ken."Its not my fault this thing is a piece of trash, its a PC for crying out loud!!" said Carl."I've been saying he should've got an Apple a long time ago!" said Hoodsie."QUIET!!" said both Ken and Carl to Hoodsie. They were already frustrated with the situation. They badly wanted to hear the audio with Tiffany, Miss. Foutley, and Ginger, who for some reason, was in the same establishment as her Mom and Tiffany were."The bigger question is how did Ginger end up sneaking out tonight...wasn't
Ahhh, to be young again 1-2 James, age 26, sighed as he looked out the window of his office. He's seen the same group of children through his window run past the office building for nearly a year now. He longed to get out of the cubicle he worked in and actually enjoy that kind of freedom...the freedom he once had as a kid.Adulthood officially set in!The only good news is that it was almost time to go."Hey, James, we're going out to the bar and grill across town, wanna come along," asked one of James' co-workers, Rick."Maybe you can talk to that girl who works there...you continue to keep looking at her.""I guess I will go, nothing else is going on," said Jame
My Story Thought I was a good kid,As though I could do not wrong,Didn't think I would ever suffer,enough to have my own song.The kid who was picked on,once special ed, future academic,but my ego started growing,like a viral pandemic.I replaced hurts and failures,with thoughts of "I was greater,"I kept myself on a high setting,when I encountered a hater.As a teen I yearned for,the adult attention,of "you are so awesome,"and "honorable mention."It was like a drug,I was totally addicted,but it was paving over,where I was really afflicted.Couldn't understand why people fell out,Over the name of Jesus, couldn't
Ladies Night Out - 2 "OK Carl, what's this all about, I was in the middle of an anime marathon," said Ken."This is almost bigger than that. Remember Tiffany, she's in town and with my Mom RIGHT now!" said Carl with excitement."You gotta be kidding, seriously, she was HERE!!?" asked Ken."No wonder you are excited," said Hoodsey."Are you saying I like this girl, because not like that I do, I mean, you know," said Carl."Your blushing says differently, but that's besides the point," said Ken."Alright, alright, this isn't about me. This is about us trying to figure out why Tiffany is here. She stays way across the state. There's got to be more to it than j
Ladies Night Out - 1 "Ginger, Carl!!?" yelled Lois, there Mother. She was grabbing her purse and making her way to the door as quickly as she possibly can. It was almost as if she was trying to rush to work, but she as dressed in a black dress with a silver necklace and she smelled of a strong scented perfume."Hi Mom, Ginger is not home yet, she's over at Dodie's and said she was still working on her homework...but I'll let her know what's going on...so, where are you heading off too...I thought it was bed time for you," said Carl as the 13 year old pointed to the digital clock on the wall reading 9p.m."Don't be smart Carl, I'm going to hang out with an old f
WeatherTax 2 - Rush's Fail Its late in the evening....about 6pm and Rush was in a state of shock. His facial expression went from a happy and hopeful Rush that most people knew, to a un-believable look of terror and failure. Rush has never felt this bad for himself before.The 12-year-old turned the corner, and started walking closer to his cul-de-sac. It was there that James was just getting out of his truck. He suddenly reminded Rush of his father as James' height practically towered over Rush now."Rush, where have you been, why did you send out an emergency call over the radio?" said James."I lost him....its all my fault," said Rush."Lost who.....where's Xaiv
Short Story: "Talk with Self." I walked into the restaurant after a long day at the bank. I went straight to the chair I normally sit on at the corner of the restaurant.While sitting there, I noticed a large group of men and women sitting around this one guy who seemed to be the life of a party. The women surrounding the guy were so beautiful, but I felt like I had no kind of chance with a women like that, especially the ones surrounding the guy who was dressed like a stereotypical hip-hop star."What a loser, right...oh, wait...that would be you," I said to myself...literally. I turned my head to the left and realized that I was sitting next to my psyche....my inner th
I wasn't ready then 23 years old at the time,I was still quite immature,what I had done to your heart was terrible,the guilt I couldn't endure.While not putting away childish things,I hung on to them like a scared little boy,I brought you nothing but anticipation and pain,when I should've been bringing you joy.I realize that I made a mistake, It took too long for me to notice,so I'm saying "I'm sorry, please forgive me,"that's why I'm writing for all to see this.I grew up and changed and finally matured,I'm taking responsibility for my actions,Instead of causing confusion and heartache,I'm working towards bringing satisfaction.Ple
ATBG and Tiffany 6 Carl ordered pizza and had it delivered and added to the coffee table four fancy wine glasses that were filled with clear "Sprite-like" soda, giving the drinks a professional and sparkling look.The doorbell rang. It was Ken and Hoodsey...and under each of their arms, leather portfolio folders filled with details of each phase of their science project.Carl opened up the door."I see you guys are ready, portfolio and all!," said Carl."Of course, I believe in the VERY best for something of this magnitude," said Ken."Thanks to Carl, I'm all about that lifestyle...taking no for an answer I always say," said Hoodsey."Precisely...I got a
ATBG and Tiffany 5 Carl, Hoodsey and Ken spent all day planning out how to ask Tiffany to fund their special project and be a part of the science fair with them all at the same time.It was finally dinner time and Carl was sitting at the dinner table...silent...staring. He couldn't get out of his mind how he was feeling about Tiffany. His friends were already gone and Mrs. Foutley and Ginger were picking up the pizza..at least, that's what Carl thought."This is rediculous," Carl thought. "I can't be falling in love with this girl...we are several years different in age...and yet, she's like someone I've NEVER met before.""HI Carl!!" said Ginger as she walk
ATBG and Tiffany 4 It was morning already and Carl walked downstairs. He was only wearing a regular white t-shirt with a nuclear symbol on it and a pair of boxer shorts. As he walked downstairs and towards the kitchen, Tiffany was standing at the entry way to the kitchen."Woah...uh...Tiffany, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were still here, I," said Carl, but Tiffany put one finger on Carl's lips to keep Carl from talking further."Its ok cutie, by the way, nice boxers...OH, and you do know this is a dream, right!?" asked Tiffany.Carl bolted it. It was only a dream...and at the same time, it was already morning. He checked his calender on his wall....it was S
ATBG and Tiffany 3 Carl was the first to walk into the kitchen, followed by Ken and then Hoodsey. Each of the boys sat down as close to Tiffany as possible.Carl sat to the left of Tiffany while Ken sat to the right. Hoodsey sat on the other side of the table, across from Tiffany in order to clearly observe her and take notes.While Tiffany and Mrs. Foutley were talking about old times back in high school, Carl was carefully preparing in his mind what to ask. While doing so, he started to notice Tiffany's long hair, her overall physical appearance and even her smell. His face went from thinking critically to simply mindless staring."What do you think Carl?"
ATBG and Tiffany 2 Carl, Hoodsie and Ken worked together to come up with there most brilliant plan."So, the plan will be to fool people into thinking that she's a time traveler?," asked Hoodsie."Of course...if we want to blow the competition out of the water, we have got to ask Tiffany to help us out," said Carl."And I got an awesome plan as to how we can encourage her to claim she's a time traveler," said Ken. "My hope is that she really IS dressed in 80s style and actually acts like she's from the 1980s.""This is my favorite part!!" said Carl as he rushed towards Ken. "What are we gonna do...use lazer lights...secret agent scopes...hidden camera and m
As Told By Ginger and Tiffany "I can't wait to meet some of the head writers from the major college's," said Ginger as she and Courtney walked around the table-filled gym...staring at the many tables filled with college applications and administrators answering questions about their school being represented.It was Saturday and today was "College Day" at Lucky High School in the little town of Sheltered Shrubs."I know, this is going to be VERY exciting. I hear some of these creative types have the most interesting lifestyles," says Courtney Grippling, one of Ginger's moderate associates who from time to time hangs out with her.
