Strange things from Walley’s ‘Off Spring’

Meet Stone.  He’s the oldest in my Zoo.  He’s 13 and sometimes his driveway just doesn’t reach the garage (if you know what I mean).  Please don’t be alarmed…he’s really harmless, just remember to feed him.

In his 7th grade reading class it was a grade requirement to write a short story.  The entire class then submitted the stories as entries into the Dayton Daily News short story contest.  Out of 500+ students from the Miami Valley in the Teen Short Story Contest… Stone’s was picked ‘Third Place’ overall.

 It’s great to see him growing up on the light side of life…sometimes you have to be brave enough to live life creatively.  So enjoy the story before Hollywood comes knockin’ at our door trying to make this the next Arnold Schwarzenegger or Bruce Willis movie.  Oh…P.S.  Move over J. K. Rowling…
