In my spare time I like to write, so I've decided to post what I've been working on in this blog. I would love to hear your comments, as well.
Chapter 1
Running. That was the only thing on my mind. I could feel the soft dirt between my toes and the sticks stabbing my feet. Everything about this scene was d??j?? vu, but I couldn't figure out why. The trees zipped past me in a blur. I was afraid to turn around, but I had to know what was chasing me. I got a quick glance, but I couldn???t make out what they were.

On my way to the living room, I passed the kitchen and saw some strangers making sandwiches. Trying to be polite, I smiled at them, and the favor was given in return.
Jake, Jasper, and I allowed travelers to stay for however long they needed to. But, it isn???t like theses people are strangers; they are our kind. When I got to the living room, I saw Jake and Jasper watching a movie. I went over and sat down next to Jazz. ???Morning sleepy head,??? he told me, sm
