Ch-Ch-Changes

You may notice that I've tweaked a few things here and there. I also added some new pages: the prologue and first three chapters of what is now the old, outdated version of my book.

If you have a bit of spare time, feel free to read them and possibly critique them at your own leisure. Bear in mind that the first two chapters were written when I was 12 years old and the third chapter was written when I was only about a year older. My sense of direction in these beginning chapters is at best undefined. But the pacing improves later on. The inconsistency of these chapters is the primary reason why I decided to rewrite everything.

I had to deal with nightmarish formatting problems while I converted these to HTML, so I apologize if things don't quite look right on your browser. And... Be aware of pre-laptop crash grammatical errors (especially comma splices); they are frequent.

I will post the next three chapters a little over a week from now. I will appreciate any feedback.

Bored of Memories

Worried for no reason

I will wait until your call

And try to see the substance

Of infrequent future history

I hope for every season

Except winter, spring and fall

Where intrigue meets ignorance

Then creates a fuzzy memory

I would flash-freeze the minute

When I thought I saw a strain

A shard of hope from your innocent eyes

Was it not a kind of ploy?

There is something within it

That I doubt I will retain

My mental board of innocuous lies

Memories I can't destroy

Yet I seem to revive them

Each and every single little day

I instill no strategy to repress

What is often and always a repetitive chore

When I'm here by my lonesome

In the tiniest, least significant way

I loathe the memories I possess

These overwrought thoughts are now a bore
