short story – The Commonplace Notebook

The Hoppin’ Eyeball 6

So I didn’t realize this existed at all until I was going through my last box of old things the other day. Eight-year-old me had, by that time, planned an overarching series that would have included probably at least six or seven more sequels.

The Hoppin’ Eyeball 2

Here is the anticipated sequel to The Hoppin’ Eyeball. Most of these were written in a back corner of a first-grade classroom, after Billy and I had raced through a school assignment so we could work on our next masterpiece. 🙂

The Hoppin’ Eyeball

Today I have a real treat for you. From the ancient archives of seven-year-old Alex’s past, I present the first story I ever wrote: The Hoppin’ Eyeball.

Because the Plot Demands It

Do you ever feel like you’re being watched?

I do. Every minute of every hour of every day.

My name is Chase Walker. I like running, jumping, saving the world, and pizza. And I have a big problem. Well, okay, two big problems.

Discovery Channel

“Coming next Tuesday on Discovery: They thought they were safe. But they weren’t expecting … A Haunting. Together, let’s journey around the world, experiencing firsthand accounts of spirits and demons beyond the veil.”

What He Missed

There are two types of travelers: the one who travels out of necessity, and the one who travels out of opportunity.

Martin began that day as the first, but ended it the second.
