Before I Could Write - Part 2

One day a certain idea came to me that I should post up on The Blog stories I wrote when I was a kid. So welcome to chapter two of The Hill’s writing, pre-epiphany (i.e. when I was rubbish).

Here’s a story I wrote when I was six or seven.

Self Portrait

First, here is my autobiography / future prediction for myself from that time:

My Life

When I was a baby I used to eat what was on the floor.

Then a couple of years later I went to playschool.

Then I went to school and had my photograph.

And then I will go up to middle school and do slightly difficult work.

When I grow up I am not going to get a job.

Then I will get married.

Then I want some children.

And then I will be a grandparent.

My Predicted Marriage

Well… Isn’t that nice. Good to see they really inspired us to reach for the heights. And hey, I am unemployed. Apparently, I’m living the dream.

Okay, here's the story:

Dreamland

I was on my carpet. And I was pretending it was a magic carpet. But it turned into a magic carpet. And it took off. And it took me to the dreamland. And when I got off I turned into a princess. A fairy came. And made my brothers appear. Then I found seven mice. And suddenly a very big wind blew me and my brothers to a rainbow. And I got the treasure. And I got back to my carpet. And then it took me to where the Acorn Green people live. Then Bobby’s dad said have some worms and I said no thank you by the way Bobby is my toy. Then I took the worms and then I fell down a hole filled with poisonous snakes and then I woke up it was all a dream or was it the worms and the mice were still there.
