Here is approximately 100 – 150 words from a randomly selected original piece for your enjoyment.

It’s Like the Full Moon- chapter 6.3.# (wip)

Teddy was about fifteen minutes into game and totally focused on beating the boss on a level he’d been stumped on for weeks when the door rang and several loud and rapid pounds crashed against his front door. “Teddy let us in, our hands are full of stuff,” yelled Lisa’s exhausted voice from the other end. “I know you’re probably just in there playing video games, get up,” she shouted once more just as the door was thrust open in front of her.

Teddy stared at the overloaded and unusually simple looking Lisa, and almost began to laugh. She was carry a covered casserole dish in her arms across her chest, with several paper bags in her right hand, and what looked like a jug of wine in the other. Under her right arm was a small box of napkins that were squished in. “Need any help there, Lisa?” asked Teddy smugly.

Count Your Blessings 19: Sleep

Sleep

If you’ve ever suffered from extreme insomnia and seen the effects that a lack of sleep causes the body, there’s no need for me to explain the importance of sleep to you. I think a lot of people take sleep for granted. It’s a natural process for people; everyone does it, but what happens if you can’t sleep or worse, you are kept from sleeping.

I currently live in a part of the world where you are taught to get six to eight hours of sleep a night, but what about people who live in places where sleep only comes after all the work has been done. Not everyone in the world gets that much sleep, even if they should. I’m blessed because I get to sleep for hours at a time without worrying about when or how I’ll be awakened.

FM Files Full Moon

Character Files from the ToiBox 87: Lisa-Opinion on Peers

FM-L

nofemale

How does this character feel about his/her book peers?

Subject FM 2-Lisa:

…loves Rebecca like a sister and would do anything for. She looks up to her but worries her life leaves something to be desired.

…likes Teddy well enough because he makes her laugh. He’s kind of like a little brother to her, but not really.

…thinks Paul is cute and sweet, just the kind of guy to shake things up in her bestie’s life.
