My stories: a 5-year FLASHBACK blog!

(Originally posted October 1, 2007)

Lately I have gotten back into writing a little bit and have been working on some stories.

The first story takes place during Civil War times and involves a soldier that a family has to take in as a boarder.  The children in the family have neglectful parents that spend all their time looking at maps, so the boarder becomes like a Mary Poppins character that mentors the children and teaches them songs and games.  Then at the end he has to leave, and they are very sad, but they will never forget him.

Story 2 is about a man that one day discovers a pumpkin vine from a neighbor's yard has passed under the fence and is now blossoming on his property.  The neighbor is unaware because the fence is made of wood, and also he has eyesight problems.  The vine produces the largest most beautiful pumpkin the man has ever seen, and now he is torn.  Should he keep the pumpkin for himself, or turn it over to the neighbor that planted it?  After many sleepless nights, he decides to keep the pumpkin for himself.  It is on his property after all, right?  The man scoops out the pumpkin's innards and bakes them into a delicious pie, and then carves the rest into a Jack-o-Lantern for Halloween.  When he is finished he is SHOCKED to see that he has somehow carved the Jack-o-Lantern's face to look exactly like that of his neighbor.  It glowers at him from across the room, and he is ashamed.  The story has a happy ending, though.  Try to guess what it is!  (Hint: It involves the pie.)

Finally I want to write a story in which Beethoven and Mozart become friends.  They do this through the use of a time machine because they lived at slightly different times.  The time machine was invented by Ben Franklin, but that isn't an important part of the story.  Beethoven and Mozart work together to invent a magic potion that Beethoven drinks and it makes him able to hear.  Then they jam.  It's kind of a silly story but I don't think everything has to be serious all the time.

Well that's all I've got so far but once again I want to warn you not to steal my ideas or my lawyers will sue you mofos for everything you've got.  I'm getting tired of being such a nice guy.
