Answer 1

Maybe Life Is'nt So Bad After All
Johnny was so excited, it was Saturday, the day he and his father would go to the local Coast to Coast to pick out his new bike. Johnny had done many things to earn the money for this bike, including cleaning the pig pens, and watching his bratty brother. It took 6 months of hard work to save the $18.00 for this bike, but Johnny knew it was worth it. Johnny became impatient waiting for his father to come back from the fields, so he began to play baseball, tossing the ball and hitting it with his small bat.
Johnny looked up and saw the tractor, finally he thought, dad and I can go to get the bike, he tossed the ball one last time and smack he hit it, right into the picture window. Dad pulled up on the tractor just in time to witness it. "you know son, you will have to pay for the window, you just saved me a trip to coast to coast, there will be no bike" Johnny could'nt believe his terrible luck, he thought to himself, I will fix them, I'll run away, then they will be sorry. So Johnny packed his red knapsack with his only extra set of clothes he owned, and down the dirt road he went. After what seemed like eternity, a car pulled up and yelled "Hey boy, where you heading to? Need a ride?" Johnny turned to see sheriff Eisenhower. Johnny thought a moment, yes he was quite tired, so he agreed and got into the sheriffs car. Sheriff Eisenhower asked "where are we going Johnny?" Johnny said, " as far from here as I can get" The sherrif asked what happened and Johnny relayed the story, about the bike, the ball and the picture window. Sheriff Eisenhower pulled up to the old Tinker Tot, "johnny how about you and I going to get an icecream?" After the 4 mile walk Johnny was quite hot, and it did sound good, Johnny agreed. Sheriff Eisenhower proceeded to tell Johnny about the old milk cow he sold to a neighbor, for a magic genie bottle, and how he had to work in the fields to earn enough money to replace the milking cow. Sheriff Eisnehower said, I was about your age Johnny when I sold the cow, I thought with a magic Genie bottle we could afford to buy milk in bottles, we could afford anything, we all make mistakes Johnny, does'nt mean your parents love you any less, they want you to be responsible, if you make a mistake, own up to it and fix it. Johnny thought a moment, he knew sherrif Eisenhower was right, he nodded his head. Sherif Eisenhower said, "how about a ride home Johnny?"

mmh... unique style of questions....

let's see...


"This is a lesson for all those kids who think they'll be better without their parents...

There was once a boy named Norman Rockwell, and he had decided to run away from home because he wasn't comfortable with his family (his father was an entrepreneur well known and respected... but he was also the coldest and most neglecting person you could ever meet, and his mother hated music, which he, Joseph, loved).

Everything seemed to be going well, when he decided to stop at Jamie W. diner for some breakfast, and though he found it odd that it was empty, he decided to order. Suddenly, a kind looking police man walked over and sat next to him. The man began chatting with him and minutes later the waiter joined. Norman thought that these men were the kindest, and he felt sad that he had to leave them soon... little did he know that these men were not planning on letting him go anywhere soon...."









Hope you liked it!

good issues to keep in suggestions. thanks for sharing this. It does make me imagine of my personal tale lots, because i imagine quite some this may be utilized even as attempting to come back to a decision if an concept is gigantic adequate to be a sequence. it truly is what occurred with my e book. initially it became purely meant to be a unmarried novel, yet about midway by potential of writing i realized the suggestions purely saved coming and the tale grew out of being restricted to at least one e book. The 0.33 element, about plots and subplots---thats what occurred to my tale. and that i have had it ensue the alternative way too, the position I initially imagine an concept will make an truly good novel, then understand there is no longer enouh textile to keep up that many words and it quite works better as a short tale instead. All of those issues listed purely reaffirm to me that i'm writing my tale contained in the most ideal format (a trilogy) so I is purely no longer replacing that. yet I actual were taking area in round with some suggestions in my head which could pick to be remodeled, so this became very useful. thanks back for sharing.

Answer 5

"Runaway"

Officer Dan sat down at the counter beside little Jonny Bon Giovi. Mr Lawson, famous for his ice cream creations, set a Double Chocolate Fudge Float with extra whipped cream, in front of Jonny, and said, "Here, maybe this will make you feel better."

Jonny shrugged, and said "no thanks, Mr Lawson", while he banged both feet back and forth on the foot rest of the stool he was sitting on.

Mr Lawson and Officer Dan gave each a look and, Officer Dan said "You having a rough day, kid?"

Without looking up, Jonny said, "all girls are stupid, but my sister is stupider". Officer Dan decided not to laugh, and said, "what makes you say that Jonny?"

"Cause she back talks Daddy, and she puts all that gooky stuff on her face, and she hangs around with that guy Rusty, and he smokes, and he drives a motorcycle, and my daddy don't like him, but she sneaks out the window and goes with him, and she didn't used to do all that until Mama went to Heaven, and I tried to tell Daddy she don't mean nothing, but he won't listen."

The Officer, thought for a minute about Jonny's sister, Gina, who was 17 now, and how their Mama had died a few years ago, and their daddy drank a little too much ever since...then he looked kindly at the boy, and said, "gee...that's an awful lot for a little boy to be worrying about. You know...on the street where you live, girls talk about their social lives. They're made of lipstick, plastic and paint...a touch of sable in their eyes. All your life, all you've asked, when's your Daddy gonna talk to you. You were living in another world, trying to get your message through."

Jonny looked up at the Officer, and with tears in his eyes, he said, "Officer Dan, can I put a ABC on my sister, cause I can't find her nowhere. I been looking everywhere. I even went down to the creek and I found my fishin pole I left there last week and I found her red scarf in the middle of the road and its got pictures of me and Mama and Daddy and my Mama's pearl necklace in it, and I can't wake up Daddy cause he always falls asleep after he drinks the beer and I can't ever wake him up. Please Officer Dan, can we do a ABC on my sister?"

The Officer looked at Mr Lawson, who had already pinned his Deputy badge on his shirt, and put the CLOSED sign in the window, and he said to Jonny, "come on son, let's go ride around town and see what we can do about all this".

As they stepped out into the sunlight, they each saw the motorcycle come around the curve, and as it got closer to them, they heard her yell, "Stop! Stop here right now!"

Jonny ran to Gina, tears escaping his eyes, and while he hugged her tight, she told Rusty that she was all her brother had right now, and he was all she had right now, and that she couldn't leave him. Rusty tossed his cigarette to the side of the road, cussed under his breath, gunned the engine, and drove away without another word.

Mr Lawson, spoke first, and said, "well...would anybody like a Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip sundae? My treat!" "Yes yes yes" they all said in unison, so Officer Dan, and Gina and Jonny followed Mr Lawson in and sat at the counter, and enjoyed their sundaes.

Jonny got real quiet, and when Officer Dan asked why, he said, "I was just thinking about what you said about girls, and my Daddy, and trying to get my message through. I think I'm going to remember that for a long time."

Officer Dan just smiled, and said, "come on kids, I'll take you home. I want to talk to your Daddy for a minute.
