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.

Introduction to the Eyeball Guy

However, in time, the ants began to rebel against the wishes of the farmer. As a whole, the species were lazy, always fighting with each other, and selfish in only looking out for themselves in food collection. The farmer noticed these changes, and were displeased with his creation, except for one ant whom he named Moah. Moah respected the farmer, still following the guidelines that were set in the beginning. One day, the farmer pulled Moah out of the boundaries of the farm to tell him he was going to start the population over, in hopes the next to come would be more respectful to his wishes. Moah understood, as he had seen the changes in the actions of his species. However, the farmer told Moah he had found fav...
