Chapter 4

In tenth grade, I was given a journal assignment in English class.  My teacher said it needed to be about the Bible.  However we wanted to approach it was fine, we just had to write about something from the Bible.  My journal was about the story of Cain and Abel.  We had recently studied figurative language so I thought I would use every bit of figurative language I could.  It was about Abel trying to flee the Lord after murdering his brother.  I thought I was just throwing around descriptive words and hoped for a decent grade.  Turns out that what I wrote was pretty good.  I made a 100 and my English teacher encouraged me to sign up for the creative writing class that started the next semester.  I signed up and loved the class.  Tenth grade was when I realized one of the few talents in my life.  Since that time, writing has come natural to me.  I do it for enjoyment and to get my thoughts out.  This will be the first time in quite a while that I have written a short story.  It will be divided into chapters.  I hope you all enjoy it.

Tell Me Why

Well its been a while since I've posted anything on here, and for those of you who check up on this site, I apologize.  Life has been a bit busy as of late.  Let me get you up to speed here since you come here because you're so interested in what I've got going on.  I started school at Northwest Shoals Community College.  It isn't nearly as bad as I expected.  I have been on a feverish job hunt.  It is as bad as expected.  Also, I have spent the last week at a good bit of Step Sing practices.  Although I am not in the show, Kappa Sigma has been practicing at my mom's place of employment so I hung out, watched, listened, critiqued, annoyed, and enjoyed my brothers.  That's about it.  Not much of a good excuse for skipping a month of posts but its all I got. 

"So what's on your mind Josh?" you ask.  That's a damn good question.  The truth is, alot of things are on my mind.  The problem is, I have to decide which one to tell you people about.
