Microfiction: Boy

This is the story of a lonely boy. He was new at school and had made no friends. The day went on and he still had no friends. It was time for recess and he went to the basketball court. He shot hoops by himself while the other kids played together. Time went on and he still had no friends. He continued to shoot hoops, when another boy came up. They shot hoops together. The lonely boy now had a friend. He did not know his name, but he was now a friend. He now liked school. Recess was his favorite. All because the new lonely boy now had a friend.

    Hi Clay! This story can be very relatable to many even though it is so simple. I love how simple it is yet it conveys such a strong message.

Now recess is his favorite time because he gets to spend it with his one friend.

I don't care if it is foreign soccer in a language I don't even understand, I love following, watching and playing sports. If I could sit down and have a meal wi

Week 2 Story - Tricksters: The Burglar, The Security Guard, and the Curator

In and out, no detection, no witnesses, ever- until one cool fall night.  The burglar wore his big puffy black jacket this cold night, easy for stuffing any extra loot not fitting inside his duffel. It was his good luck charm, at least he thought so. Another perfect heist, the priceless jewels of the biggest museum in the world, all his... until at the last second his jacket got caught in the safe. The undetectable man, trying to free himself from the restraints he put himself in, was detected. The on-shift security guard came upon him on one of his rounds and began to laugh at the fool caught in the safe. "Oh how silly you look!" mocked the security guard, "you have done my job for me!" "Please!" the burglar pleaded, "If you help free me from these restraints I will split them with you, we will both be rich!" The security guard paused, not expecting such an intrigui
