A Family and a Bank
I read this story just yesterday and I loved it. I know I haven’t written like this in a long time, but I decided it was time to bump up the stories. This one is real, and just like always, not an inch of written work was copied; I’ve written it all. (It’s a break [...]

Little Child

A Little Competition “Update”
It was the big day: we were taking the science TAKS test, and my teacher reminded us about the competition with a big wink. “Do well,” she said, and then let us start taking the test. During the test, I worked hard. I finished it in a little bit less than an hour. The slowest [...]
