The Day I Shrank (written 1992)
One day I was walking to school. Doring class we were learning about math and Mrs. Banger called on me to answer the problem "2x10=." But I didn't answer infact I didn't even hear her becouse I was thinking how cool it would be shrink and what you could do. She asked again "Jake" what is the answer to the problem "2x10"? What me? Yes Jake what is the answer? Oh, the answer? The answer is...mmmm let's see 2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20 the answer is 20. Very good Jake! "Ding. Ding. Ding." Ok class your homwork tonight will be P100 1-40 good-bye class have a fun weekend! Well it was Friday. I have two days to play. "Mom!" Yes, Jake. What can I do? Well go play with the dog. Ok! Come here puppy. "Ruff! ruff!" Hi there little guy do you want to go play? Ruff! Ok, let's go outside. I through the ball to my dog. It went into my dad's office. Oops! sorry dad. I'll get.
Then it happened! I shrunk! I rilly rilly shrunk! Then I heard the dog bark. Ok, now what am I supposed to do! I got it. Nice dog. It's ok I whont hurt you. He started to run after me. Help! Dad! Somebody help me! The dog's going to eat me! Then my mom came outside. "What wrong little puppy? Then as the door was closeing I ran inside the house. Im safe. I did it. I got away from him. I was safe inside now. Evreythings ok now that I'm inside. It was finally dinner time. But the only bad thing is now I couldnt get in my seat. So I dicited to make a catipult. While my family was eating I was getting the tools to make my catipult. First I got a paper clip then I found a string bent the paper clip then tied the string onto it. Then thats when he found the toothpic. He broke it so he could hold it good. He sat down on the paper clip and then he counted 3,2,1 lounch! Up he went and down he came. "Splat!" He landed in the mash patatoes. Yes, I did it. It worked! And man, am I hungry for some food. Now where is that kid gone? I thought that mash patatoes was his favorite dinner?
The next day I dicited since I was so small I would go and play with my lego's. So I went to the house I built before I shrank. I opened the door and turned on the t.v. Well I tried to anyway. I forgot that it was a lego. So I went to the upstairs and saw that know one was up there. So I went outside and saw that Mr. Spyrius was building a plan. So I dicited to go and help him. Mr. Spyrius, do you need help? Nope, I just got done fixing the engine do you whant to go for a ride though? No thanks. Are you sure? It will be a fun one. Well allright, but just a fast one. Why? Becouse I got to do my work. You cant do your work your to small to do it. Ok, let's go! I like your plane Mr. Spyrius. Thanks a whats your name? Oh, ya my name is Jake. "Ruff!" Did you hear somthing Jake? Ya! Well what was it? I was my dog! What? Ruff. aaaaaaaaaaah. He's after us! Now what do we? I dont know! Well stop panicing and think! Crunch. Oh, know he bit part of the wing of. Pretty soon were going to Crash, we crashed before he could even finish his sentence.
It was dinner time so I got out my catipult. and counted 3,2,1 lounch! When I was done eating I got ready for meet the Utes. Then I thought oh ya I am to small to go to it. And then the phone rang. But I didnt know how to answer it. So I climbed up to the caller I.D. to see who it was. It was Rob. So I memorized the phone-number and thought of a plan how to answer it. I had an idea so I called my dog. And he came running to me and jumped onto the counter and so I ran around the phone and it worked he nocked the phone of the hook. And it scared him away. So I climbed up onto the phone and started to jump on the numbers to dial it. Pretty soon hello! And I nelt down by the phone to talk. Rob what did you want when you called a while ago? Oh, I wanted to know if you wanted to come down and play the new game we got for the computer. Well a I shrank yestorday in my dads office. How? Well its a long story. Ok bye. Bye.
I was hungry so I got a chip and before it was even half way gone I was full so I went outside, and I started to walk down 5th avenue and you know how bissy it is in New York City. Do you know how scary it is in the dark. Well as I was walking down the street I saw an animal or was it an animal? It was a dark figure in the gutter with a long tail about 3 or 4 inches long. And I saw that it did not look very happy right then so it started to run after me. But lucky for me I found a brocken piece of safty pin So I started to fight with rat. The rat just about got me a couple of times in the head. But I got him a couple times, and Finally the rat got scared and ran away. Well I thought he ran away, but He just came back with more. So I picked up the piece of safty pin. And I jabed it to the left and then I jabed it to the right. I mist. But thay got scared away. Then after that I was scared so I went home. I was durdy then so I turned on the sink foset in the kitchen and it looked like a water fall. When it was full I climbed up and was diving in. It was pretty fun to do. After a couple times I got down the dish clothe and I climbed up again and jumped on the dish clothe, and I sank as soon as I got on it. That Sunday I was watching "Big Deal." The hoast asked sombody if thay would let them shrink them and if thay did then thay would give them 100,000. The guy said "no" Everyone he asked thay said "No way man." or "Are you crazy"!

This next paragraph is an excerpt of a war story I am working on. It's the beginning of the book and is meant to be a journal entry of one of the main characters.
Dark Horse
The days have grown longer and the nights have all but faded; humanity has become theory. With each new day our sanity seems to slip away from us as the horrid scenes of ghastly images plague our minds like a reoccurring nightmare. I've learned to dull the pain by training my mind to feed itself disguises of better times, like the buzzing of bee's as bullets whiz by our heads or the explosion of fireworks on the 4th of July to mask the formidable destruction of shells cratering the earth. Fighting has gotten worse and grows more grim by the hour. We wake up to rancid decaying bodies and go to bed with the rats that eat them.

The following is also just an excerpt of a book. This particular piece was started in Jr. High and the character was based on myself.
(unable to come up with a title at this point)
Mr. Loveless sat in the corner of his mind where he could often be found. He lived in this isolated world most of his life, and occasionally reality leaked in and frustrated his thoughts.
He had seen her daily, both in thought and in life. Often he wondered if she had taken notice of his presence, or if he had fallen subject to 101st out of 100. Her short blond hair reached down towards her body as if to touch, but stopping just short--as she often had in her own goals. The blueness of her eyes echoed the deepness of the ocean, and her smooth lips ran across her face placed with perfect workmanship. But these accents were not what had lead people to her.
