Lesson Learned

a lesson i have learned is not to cheat. especially when playing a game that you cant win... trust me you wont win anyway so why try. i was playing tag in my younger days and i cheated and ran into my treehouse and my cousin rippped my bubble gum flag in half.

Comma What?

My father had left our house, in the midst of a fight, between Lindsey and my mother. My mother was trying to get Lindsey to go with her to the Y to swim. Without thinking, Lindsey had blared "I'd rather die!" at the top of her lungs. My father watched as my mother froze, then burst fleeing to their bedroom to wail behind the door. He quietly tucked his notebook in his jacket pocket, took the car keys off the hook by the back door, and snuck out.

THE 13 Miles Less Traveled
As I regained consciousness, I remember asking... who was that tall shadowy guy standing in the vestibule of the dark maple fence. Always everyone I ask say they didn't see anybody, anyway who was to blame. Oh yeah there were really bright headlights at the scene of the unexplained crime. They reminded me when the flashlight of the stubborn cop hit my eyes. He was real hard headed.
It wasn't long after I realized that i had been hit by a car in the alley, they told he went in my yard and stole my only gun I noticed it was someone out for revenge, who could it be. We searched for literally 13 miles and found nothing but a scrapbook on the 13th mile marker of our search. turns out the guy was a bounty hunter looking for people like me. By me I mean "innocents" people who have a good criminal record. Well anyways we found him; long story short it was my long lost brother who was hired to kill me... TO BE CONTINUED

parts of speech review

A long time ago there was a big brown bird, and he stayed at the holiday inn by the walmart. he stayed in the blue sky suite over the tree, but one crazy day over at a car lot he saw a bunch of weird people like a cat, dog, a hobo, and a guy named bob yelling at a tractor, they looked frat after they got through eating at el sombrero. so he went home and saw birdman and manbearpig on TV. then he fell asleep.
