The small child is sitting there, not even paying attention to what is going on. He is wearing his Sunday best; church has just gotten out. He keeps glancing over at the vibrant colored garden. It attracts his stare because of its beauty and tranquility. Seagulls fly by, and the boy wonders where they are going. Curiously the boy looks up at the sea wall, wondering what it is. He is unhappy; the huge, raging ocean behind it is hidden behind the sea wall. An idea drifts into his head. He brings over a chair, and climbs on top. His breath is sucked away by exhilaration; he has never experienced anything like this, because he lives in an isolated town in Kansas. He runs over to his mother to try to share his delightful experience with her, but she shoos him away while she is talks to their relatives about moving. Anger rushes inside of him like thunderous rapids. This anger dwells inside of him because he doesn’t want to move to the city, he wants to move here, to the sea side where he can enjoy this place of peace and tranquility. He takes a walk down the road and discovers a lonely seashell. Again, he is extremely excited because he has never seen anything like this before. He puts it in his pocket cherishingly, and a smile beams across his face like a crescent moon. As the child is growing older, every year he takes out the shell, and gets caught in a reverie of imagination. He grew old, and told his children and their children about this legendary place. Each generation relived his wonderful discovery.




Yep. My story. Took about 5 hours to write. I had to keep starting over, going back, and editing.

the power of nature.
chapter 1
by i am a fart.


may 2nd 2009, a day to remeber. the famous trio of jet, sam and danny have planed a ocean voyage where they will sail into the bermuda triangle.

all was well at portsmouth harbour jet and the crew were pyched to be doing this voyage. they could finally see wat other have yet failed to see. as they were loading up the last of the equipment a gail started to blow. the captain said to should wait till morning, the crew said no... shortly after they set sail, crossing the english channel in just under a hour. all was well until the gail came back. heavy winds from all angles steered the ship of course, not knowing where they were they got out there atlas and compass from there back-pack, they thought they were near france... but they saw no land.
they started to panic. jet managed to calm the crew down, danny was not well at all he kept repeating dooms-day messages so they sent him to the sick bay. jet and sam was on deck when they heard a worrying creak sound from under the boat, sam rushed to the crates and got a torch and a tool kit. and rushed down to the hull of the ship. he saw the pipe which carried the emergancy oxygen supply was buckled and set off fixing it. danny heard creaks and came out of the sick bay and saw sam reparing the pipe, he then ran up on deck. jet was worried the seas were getting rougher and the waves coming over the boat. danny was getting out a kit-kat when SWOOOOOSH! a wave came over the top. jet clinged on to the railing. when the wave subsided danny was missing...
they struggled to remember what danny said then it came to them.
they always knew something was a bit strange about danny, infact everything he said came true. this time even jet lost the plot, sam got a rubber dingie and 2 ores and set out to find danny. for a third time winds picked up. sam got seperated from the main ship. jet had no control over the ship as he couldnt sail.
jet ran up 2 short stairs to the captains office, no-one was there he turned around and saw blood splattered and smeered over the window. there was a note stuck to the thick crimson blood jet pulled it off and read it.
"witness the power of nature"...

power of nature
chapter two
by i am a fart.

as soon as jet read the note he fell back he felt strage. he went pale then he shuddered, a chill went down his spine as he heard the shreak.
he picked himself up and ran to the cabins window, sam had found not just danny but a women. he ran down deck to help them up, he questioned the women she said she has been stranded on a small amount of land for 5 weeks and that she was out on a ship that crashed. the boys then got there diving equipment on and went looking for her ship called "la carmelle", they found it. what she said was all legit. they all looked at each other then looked at the women she had a eary presence about her. jet escorted her bellow deck to a small cabin where she was to remain, jet locked the door tight and walked off. as he cam back on deck he heard a loud thuder below deck, they went down to see, the bolts on the door were shearded off... she had got away. not only that she had broken the cabins window allowing water to slowly fill the room, jet double bolted the door to make sure of no leaks.
that was one problem out the wat atleast...
now they had to set out to find the strange women, they all thoguht to them selves how hard can it be the ship wasnt that big. they were wrong they didnt find her and got worried. as night fell they thought they saw her down in the engine room, it was her but not her. she was pale, cold and dead. jet was confused he didnt understand how or what done this, the lady laughed and muttered "witness the power of nature" as soon as she said that water bursted on from all angles the pipes buckled and began spewing out there liquid, the door locked, the lady was gone. will they survive...

green trees all in my face
i wish i had a big fat vase

blue oceans tickling my feet
the smell of the sand is oh so sweet

kids playing with water guns
i wish i had some sly puns

apathy wears a size fourty-four
he really needs to eat more

when i was a kid i played with silly putty
but now im a man and i play with noise putty

thinking about nature makes my brain hurt
so now im gonna leave and go play with my friend bert


(P.S. Apathy is emo (I know this because he is my cousin\friend))

Morning light's spark infests the cruel darkness..

What's this?
Weaving through fog, I find find solace in the fragile, beautiful hues taken on by the elms and willow trees billowing above my head, and the almost pleasantly foreboding sky. But the cataclysmic breeze frightens, while the horizon glares at me with love.

I breathe deeply and become all that surrounds.
Inhaling the light, the distant humming of anything and all that is. One forever!
