Scroggles!

It was 8:50, Phillip had to run fast if he was going to make it to the dance auditions.  As he ran down the hill, back to Town Hall, Phillip knew that everything was going to work out.  Not only had he changed his name to fit with his idle, but he was going to try out for the most prestigious dance team in the county!  He arrived with 30 seconds to spare, just enough time to say hi to his grandma and make his way to the judges’ table.

A note to my loyal readers,

First off, let me thank all those who have stuck with me through this journey.  From the intro to part 11, the handful of you faithful readers have made the entire writing process worth it.  When I first wrote this story, I set out to change the world.  I wanted to get the lifestyle of your average kid, and I wanted to capture that in a short story the likes of which the world has never seen!  And I did just that.  It was hard to find the right marketing for the story however, and the story sat there for a year.  But with the help of this sight, the world has gotten to know myself, and the story of Phillip.

“Sammy,” Betsy began as she slid her fingers under his, “I too once had a hero of whom I wanted to become.”  Samuel gasped; he was lost in Betsy’s eyes, her pupils being slightly dilated from the eye doctor the previous morning.  “You see Samuel,” she continued “when I was 42, I too became fascinated over someone who had altered the world forever."

Samuel ran much faster to get to her than he did to get to the auditions, he made it back to the museum in no time, and it seemed that King Phillip II himself had made the timing perfect as there she was coming out of the museum entrance.  Her dentures sparkling in the sun, her boat shoes as beautiful as her lovely vest with the kittens on it, his favorite.  She was wearing the earrings he had given her so long ago, the clip-on little running shoes.

My first experiences with video games as a child were cartridge based games on the family commodore 64. You remeber the one, with the giant keyboard that was the computer? Those were the days. Well, I found a websire this week that has brought back many of those memories:  c64s.com

They have all of your favorite games from the Commodore 64 playable from your web browser. Woohoo. Enjoy.
