Tale of the Lazy Giant
The Tale of the Lazy Giant Surely you’ve heard of a town they call Pinkleton, a small town somewhere down der in the south. Now, that be a mighty small town but for us northern folk it sure seems like a big city. I know I’m not tha best person to be explain’ng, but my momma always sed to make the best of things.
A few years back, I headed aht to get out of dat city livin for once and I left New Jowsee in order to discover more of that place I call mah country. Der I wos a-praying and a-walking, scavenging, and trying to find a new place to call mah new home. Many months have passed and I was getting tired and I decided to take a break coz I was getting really hungry, but I didn’t know wat was afore me in the morn. I woke up the next mornin’ to find dat I wasn’t in tha path no more, I was in some sort of cave. It ain’t any kind of cave I’ve seen though. I swear it had to be at least 10-feet high and as wide as my old house. The floor was kinda slippy and the ceilin’ was drippin’ water. There wos furniture, paintings, and food just like a normal home. I took some time to look around tha joint, and whenever I looked back at my stuff, there it wos, a big 8-foot tall giant. I wos more scared than when my pap was a-spankin’ me for forgetting to feed animals. This was real, I was looking straight at the beast’s big poppin’ belly, and it surely looked like the feller wanted to eat me. I looked the giant in those dark green eyes of his, and I could feel sweat dripping slow-like down my shirt. The feller did not find me the least bit appetizing, however, thanks to my luck I guess. The big monster just headed down onto his rocky bed, an’ it fell asleep before I ever got to count to two.
I ran outside to take a look around the joint and find out where am I. There wosn’t a soul around those parts, so I decided to run further and further until I wos to find some people. This new path was the strangest thing to me. There wos trees growin’ with no fruit I had ever seen. I

    Suddenly as if out of nothingness appeared a red eyed beast at the top of the wretched, steep hill we were attempting to scale. The wolf approached us with her steaming breath and her head low to the ground as if she was ready for the pounce. If we had run she would have reacted with great violence, so we kept our bodies and expressions as lifeless as a china doll. Her eyes were glowing like a fire replenishing itself; the eyes of a burning demon. Her coat was as grey as the fog that surrounded us, the beast froze corpse still, silent and motionless. It was a struggle to see. We could just see that the beast was among us. The brute still had made no move and the deep fog was thickening. It came to the point were we were blind in that we could not see any thing but the dull greyness of the…

    My chickens that I cooked were ready. Then I heard a strange sound. "B-roop", Unfortunately it was my stomach that growled. I was so hungry. I took the chicken out and starting eating like a Tyrannosaurus. The taste and the smell that came from the chicken was incredible. My stone like teeth and my thin layer of tongue chewed on that piece of chicken.You could hear the sounds of chewing like Crag! It was night when I was done eating. " Its night if I don't sleep, then zombies are gonna come in and kill me",I said to myself. I went to bed as soon as I can because I didn't want any zombies to crawl into my property. A bright light shined in my eyes. A light that made me wake up and rub my eyes. "Finally The dream is over", I said to myself. But it wasn't. I was still in the same world, same house, and same spot. I went outside. "Zombies", I screamed. I was so scared that I went in my house opened my chest and took my sword out. A Zombie came in my house and started to tear my house apart. My hand was shaking. Shaking because I never experienced this much fear in my life. I closed my eyes got out of bed and stabbed the Zombie. I saw his green blood coming out of his body, and his eyes staring at me.…

    The Idea of Reparations

    Imagine being out in the fields hunting with your father. It has been a long day and a spitted warthog hangs between you. All of a sudden you are ambushed! An enemy tribe attacks you and your father. You fight using your makeshift spear but are overwhelmed by the number of tribesmen. You are hit in the head with a rock and fall unconscious. When you wake you are being loaded into a great wooden monster. You cringe in fear as you and your fellow captives are herded into this great wooden beast. You scream in protest at the white men who have chained you but they just beat you on the head with their rifles. You are taken into a dark and disgusting hold. The prisoners next to you are screaming in fear. The smell of waste and vomit permeates everything. As a white man chains you down below you think of your family and realize you are never going to see them again. Sleep comes slowly because of the cries of pain and misery; the rocking of the floor eventually puts you to sleep. A long time has passed. Your days consist of sleeping in your own filth, eating a disgusting porridge, and rarely seeing outside your hold. But one day the hold is opened and bright light blinds you. You are lifted to your weakened legs and led outside. The land is alien to you, and white men are everywhere. You are paraded in front of a great throng of white people. The humiliation is great as you are poked and inspected. Eventually you are shackled and loaded onto a horse-drawn cart. The ride is long and uncomfortable and the destination more frightening. You have no idea what is going to happen to you and are very much afraid. You come to a great house and are taken to the fields around the house. You are given into the custody of a great white brute. He puts you into a small cottage with other black men. You have a very difficult time understanding their languages but eventually they get a message across to you: You are a slave, and will live the rest of your days as one.…

    Room Is a Mess

    I open my door to bedroom the, smell hits me like a freight train, it knocks me to the floor. Turning my head I witness the clothes I wore last week morph into hills and mountain ranges on my floor. Old lollipops with their wrappers dangle from the stem like trees sway the in the breeze. Mold on an old PB&J turns into mushrooms while the dust from the floor turns into clouds and lightly shadows the rising mountains while the rolling hills surround it. As I walk through the deep forest the trees sway in a steady beat. I notice the moldy mushroom, glance at the dust bunnies and the black ants, that have slipped through the walls for that PB&J. I step on a smaller moldy mushroom and a putrid smell fills my nose, covering my slippers with a blue fuzz and warm goop. From the bottom of this revolting and nauseating clothes pile, I head up the mountain traipse through the sickening sweatshirts, stinky socks and grimy jeans. Halfway up I encounter a new group of dirty-dangerous-dust bunnies and they look like they mean business. I scan the area trying to find a weapon, but in this mess I have as much luck as winning the lottery. I find a belt on the jeans caked with dirt and hold on for my life, my conscious filled to the brim with what could happen if I fell. All of a sudden, I feel a rumble and watch a blurry cat tail zoom by my head and observe the dust bunnies fall to their death. I traverse across the last bit of my dangerous climb past this mountain mess, and reach the top. My cleanest of clean shirts, bleached white, the shirts smell like lilac from the detergent. I spin my body around counter-clockwise trying to get my bearings but instead I hear the steady beat of Three Little Birdies by Bob Marley coming from speakers, but where?…

    The Snake Attack

    Twenty years later, I was still scared of snakes, while my elder brother teased me about it. Thinking that he was to help me to get over from phobia, my brother went to a Native American snake proprietor, called Hawk, who then told about a tiny snake living inside a jar, on his table .That snake was named unteka, an ancient snake that grows at a massive rate, and had killed many of the Hawks tribe. They were able to kill all, but the one in the jar, was one that had escaped from them. Keeping this snake has three rules: ‘‘never let it out of the jar’’, ‘‘never give any kind of food to it’ ’and ‘‘never fear the heart of snake’ ’and told to my brother that he can’t have that snake, but he stole it by leaving some amount of money. Then at home when I took it, it fell and accidently broke and snake jumped out, then I saw it was the double of its original size, but my brother didn’t believe me. That night, while my brother was sleeping; the snake escaped and ate my pet cat, and being grown five times bigger than its original size it was before, it sneaked into the hens coop, killing all but when one was left , hearing all noise of hens shouting my mother went out to check without knowing that she was going to face the same fate.my brother became scared that the legend’s true, and asked some snake killers how to stop it, they said that if the snakehasn’t yet reached the full size, you could kill it by stabbing it in the head. Any how the snake come in looking very huge in ten times larger than its original size and had killed my brother and had swallowed him and ate my pet dogs flesh and had left the bones for my tears to drop on it.…

Each morning I fight that inner voice and discipline it to accept that I am taking a freezing cold shower. I believe there are benefits to having a cold shower which is why I started the discipline in the first place.…

    Tent and Board Games

    My camping trip was a very bad experience. A friend's brother was planning to go to camping for a weekend, and they invited me. We were excited because we thought would be fun. First, we made a list of everything we would need, packed our suitcases and started our way. The weather was bad, but my friend's brother decided to go no matter what. First, the road was in a poor condition. It was so bad that I threw up twice! Second, the location where we were going to stay for 2 nights was terrible. I already felt bad enough due to the road, and when I saw the place, I realized that I wanted to go back home. Nevertheless, we decided to stay in front of a big tree and made a bonfire between the camping tents. My camping tent was on the left and the other one was next to us. After a while, everyone went to sleep. Third, I was attacked by a snake at midnight. I felt something crawling on me; I jumped up and started to scream. Everyone woke up and went to my camping tent to see what was happening. There was a snake inside my tent and creeping on me! I was so scared and no one knew what to do. My friend's brother killed the snake with a sharp stick. After that, I could not sleep anymore. The next day, we played board games, listened to music and walked across the forest. While we were walking, I saw an iguana at the top of a tree. Soon we came back to our place because it started to get dark. We talked for a few hours and went to sleep. Finally, to make things worse, it rained so badly that the camping tents came down. We spent the rest of the night under the tree. When the sun rose, we left the place to go back home. In conclusion, my camping trip was a disaster.…
