I'm just going to finish out 2000 in one swell foop, because I looked at the stories that I had written in the first half of 8th grade and they were all...weird. Really weird. The first two are titled "character sketches." I have the vaguest memory of them, but I don't really know what it was all about.
The names are really funny to me. Actually, all the names in my old stories. I loved names. Even now I have a very long list of the names that I will name my children, provided whoever I marry likes them (the names, not the children) and I actually want to bear...fifteen children.
Yeah. SO not happening.
Anyway, I really love names, but I used to like really strange ones. All I can say is I really labored over those names. :-)
So, here we have Character Sketch number one. I suspect it to be based on a fable.

And finally, the last story.: A combination of Victorian moralizing children's literature and utter weirdness a la yours truly...who truly did keep pet katydids when they were in season for several years. Also, a funny thing: Except for the katydids, the characters are nothing like me. However, the geography of the story is my house. Even now when I read it, I can see in my head where everything is taking place--my house about 10 years ago.

Well, I hope you enjoyed. 2001 is around the corner with more fascinating poetry and prose. :-P
