Child's essay for class for Thanksgiving.

...no, really. Just. Um. {} are my additions

What I Am Thankful For {by Child}

On thanksgiving I had said I was thankful for my loving mother. I was thankful for my three cousins {Niece, Niece Two, and Nephew}. But last I am thankful for my whole family and this glorious country of America.

free right


It was a cold Dec 7, 2012. In a post-apocalyptic world, dead bodies had lined the streets in black body bags. Cars were abandoned. I was in the middle of 100s of infected people with a bomb. But let me back up to when it all started. At midnight on January 1, 2012, a mass zombie outbreak had happened because a mutated meteor had hit the earth. The people in {unknown word} had died but kept walking to be {unknown word}

****

Child: What do you think?
Me: So it's genetic, huh?
Child: *bemused*

He's gone to type and finish it.

So. Apparently, destroying the world in fiction is like, a gene or something. Or maybe it was too much Torchwood?

*bewildered*

ETA: Second draft is lingering lovingly on the details of the rotting corpses. I may never sleep again.

ETA 2: Holy God, he thinks he's writing a children's book.

You are such a good influence.

[identity profile] seperis.livejournal.com 2009-11-30 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
It could be worse. *philosophical* Notice this is retrospective on Thanksgiving of 2012? I AM STILL ALIVE.

God bless him for not killing his mother. That I have to say that scares me badly.

LOL ZOMG. Aren't kids great??? LOL
I'd say I'm worried for the future, but the kid's yours, so I know you'll set 'em straight!
OMG, I can't stop laughing.

I have to confess that I don't really understand the transition from Thanksgiving gratitude to zombie apocalypse, but who am I to really ask questions.

[identity profile] seperis.livejournal.com 2009-12-01 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
*hands* Like I understand ~artists~. I think it is a retrospective? Currently he's working on the detail of the dead bodies.

Somewhere in here I have his first fanfic, a remix of Nightmare on Elm Street. I should just give up and get him an AOOO account already.

Well, there was that Nightmare on Elm Street remix he did a few years ago. But that didnt' end the world, and I think he defeated the bad guys?

I, for one, will welcome our new overlord once he gets around to taking over. (Wasn't he trying to create clones for a while, or am I misremembering?)

*resigned* Still is. Still have Unmentionable Holes in the backyard. Still steals cream of tartar powder from the kitchen for no discernible reason. I feel like I'm living in a novel but keep missing the clues that will explain the resolution.

When I grow up, I want a kid like your kid :D

[identity profile] seperis.livejournal.com 2009-12-01 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
I could sell him? *hopeful* So someone else can pay his future therapy bills.

[identity profile] winterlive.livejournal.com 2009-12-01 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
i love your kid so hard. the fact that he was bemused and then you were bewildered is probably the best part.

I WAS WITH A BOMB.

He's rocking the nuclear weapons, yo. He escalates.

Sorry, giggling like a maniac here (no, seriously, as my partner who I just read this to). I thought Youngest was bad, but he's only killing off the Pokemon he doesn't like in the fic he's writing right now not, you know, most of the human population. This is so awesome!

[identity profile] lurkerlynne.livejournal.com 2009-12-03 06:34 am (UTC)(link)
Mebbe he's just killing off the people he doesn't like? Because, let's face it, most of humanity is a waste of space.

Why, yes, I work a customer-service job, why do you ask?

[identity profile] hollyxu.livejournal.com 2009-12-01 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
I actually would like to read the rest of it. He's off to a good start, certainly. ♥

(And didn't you have a fic or 12 that started the same way, Jenn?)

OMG...in 5th grade, son had to make a lighthouse out of clay. Well, it was the class assignment, he wasn't the only one making a lighthouse. So I show up at school and there's a big display case in the front hall with all the little lighthouses. A pink one. A green one. A blue one with flowers.

A BLACK ONE THAT'S THE TOWER OF BARAD-DUR WITH THE EYE OF SAURON ON TOP.

Yeah. You know whose that was.

Your son rocks. I wish I'd thought to make an Eye of Sauron lighthouse!!

Your child is AWESOME. Thanks for sharing this important milestone, "Baby's first post-apocalyptic fanfic"

[identity profile] teenygozer.livejournal.com 2009-12-01 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, man; that book would be a best-seller in the pre-teen set. OTOH, if he has one of those delicate newbie teachers with a good heart but little in the way of practical sense, you could find yourself plunked down in front of the school psychiatrist doing a set piece from The Addams Family.

[identity profile] fizzerbass.livejournal.com 2009-12-01 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
Totally OT, but this reminds me of my son - at the tender age of four - dictating a story to his pre-school teacher about how Thomas the Tank Engine took a trip up Brokeback Mountain...

Yes, I stopped writing with him on my lap after that.

ETA 2: Holy God, he thinks he's writing a children's book.

By kids, for kids. That’s usually how it rolls. ;-)

Perhaps the next talk with him should be about what’s age appropriate?

Actually, it sounds an awful lot like my Thanksgiving

So, did a parent ever give you the double-whammy curse ("may your children be just like you as a child"?, I'm thinking?

:: Hugs :: I love your Child! I want one just like him.

Really. He sounds seriously cool.
