A Three-Author Essay
So in "First Year Writing", my English class, we had this assignment to do as a warm-up where we wrote the beginning of one story, the middle of another and the end of yet another. The essay I started went like this:
[Me]: Once upon a time, there was a boy whose name was...Nabano. He was an orphan who traveled around trying not to get caught by CPS because he didn't want to live in an orphanage. He'd found a bike in a junkyard, and that was how he got around. He wished he knew what to do with himself, other than "run from the government". He wished he could find his parents, but without knowing anything about them, the only way he could do that was to go to the authorities, which was the LAST thing he'd ever do. So he simply biked around, road after endless road, to who knows where.
[Karina]: Nabano began to think about his life before he made this decision. He remembered how in the orphanage, he only had one friend, Eneiko. Eneiko believed that he had special powers, and Nabano liked to sit and watch Eneiko demonstrate. Nabano grew restless & hopeless, despite he & Eneiko's antics, and wanted to go on an adventure. Nabano kept reminding himself, "This is an adventure".
[Carlos]: He then understood that it would only be a few years until he was 18, and would be free, so he began his adventure. He found a job cutting grass with a man that gave jobs to the unfortunate. He saved up his money, and got a fake identification that allowed him to get a job on a boat. He then traveled the world for three years until he returned to the US, in hopes of finding his family. He had just turned 18, and went to CPS. He then received minimal information that allowed him to hire a private investigator that found his parents. He then was re-united and happy.
So ya not super impressive, but I thought it was nice! Haha I'm weird!
