My son and I had already walked for 5 hours that day and we still had to walk for the rest of the day. The third moon started to appear in the sky and I felt sad suddenly. At some point my son pulled my sweater and asked me: "Where are we going dad?"
I said that we are going to climb the mountain. My son said, "Why do you want to walk such a long way?"
What son? Do I have a son? Maybe I'm dreaming.
I could see my son was tired, hungry and thirsty and I felt terrible because I had nothing to give him. And how could I tell him the truth? We were running away from his mother who had become a zombie.

The Envelope, Please
ESL Group Story Writing Class January 17, 2010
One day, I found an envelope on the ground, when I was walking down the street. I picked up the envelope and opened it.
I found a lot of money inside the envelope. I did not see a name written on the envelope.
I stood there and thought about what I should do. Maybe I should give it to the police.
Then I thought about my upcoming wedding. I didn't even have money to rent a house. Where would we live?
Usually, to read another's letters is bad. Therefore I folded the envelope carefully and put it in my pocket. I thought, it would be good to give this money to the owner. But, why was it suddenly thrown in front of me?
When I picked up the envelope and started to count the money inside it, I found a small piece of paper with some words written on it in red ink. There was a man standing in a dark corner of a nearby building staring at me.
I quickly shoved the piece of paper in my pocket, without reading it first. Then I folded the envelope and held it in my hand behind my back. I looked at the man and said, "Why are you staring at me?"
He said, “I am a blind beggar, but I can see all.” "How do you see what people are doing?" I asked the beggar. Then I looked up at the clouds and rain hit me in the face.
He told me that we don't need good eyes to be able to see. But I thought he was just trying to scare me. I decided to go to play cards to make more money.

Crash Course
ESL Group Story Writing Class January 10, 2010
Sometimes Second Life can frustrate me. Some days I get so angry when I crash that I see red. But some days everything goes very well for me in SL. For example, last week I met a very interesting and mysterious person in SL.
I opened the profile and the rez date was December 31, 1999. And his avatar was very strange. When I said "Hi," he ran away. What a strange avatar. I told her "Happy New Year."
We began to chat. Our chat was about how interesting his avatar was. "Why do you use a female doll as Avatar?" I asked him. He answered that people in SL deal with everyone according to gender. They treat people differently, depending on their gender and I want to deal all people, no matter what their gender is.
I asked him "What is your gender?" Then I crashed.
I thought that my avatar would be so cute after I modified it and got new skin. I could learn English in Second Life. Now my avatar is a girl, so most boys love me. Even though they know I am a male in RL. I played guitar all day while I was listening to a friend. I asked him, "Do you like music?" He answered, “Yes."

A Meandering New Year's Story
ESL Group Story Writing Class January 3, 2010
I woke up this morning thinking about the New Year's resolution that I made a few days ago. I had already broken it!
And I was also late for work. I ran out of the door running, because I was already late. And I found out it was raining hard and I didn't have an umbrella. So I went to the shop and wanted to buy an umbrella. But I realized that I forgot my purse.
I called my friend because I wanted her to bring me my bag. She said, "I'll deliver it to you.” I chatted with the owner of the store while I waited.
My friend finally arrived with my purse. I opened it, took out some money, and paid for an umbrella that I had selected. I walked out of the store and opened my new umbrella. All the while I was thinking about the New Year's resolution that I had so quickly broken.
