mortal jeans

    So yes, he was bringing a jug of spring water into a business called Lindstrand Auctions. The secretary/owner/male told him they had enough water. He reluctantly carried the liquid back outdoors. The air was warm on that day. He jogged around the side of the water van and-- Whoosh! he slipped on a patch of snowy ice. His right knee skidded onto the ashphalt and ripped a hole in his blue jeans and made drops of blood appear on his knee and jean leg. Thankfully the jug of water worth $6.75 that he carried did not crack or break..
    Okay that is my story for the day. I like hearing about people's injuries (if they feel like telling me) so if anyone feels like describing a recent mishap, please do so in a comment below :) I might enjoy reading them and other people might too.

melancholic drummer

drawn in grade 8

       "What is that I hear?"

   listen closely; the steady boom of a drum-
Look, there he comes down the street.
Boy, he looks sad..probably he is an orphan.

And look at his face-
         He looks as tho' there is no joy left in
his world.

     the lad keeps on beating his drum as if his little Life depends on it.
