Here some of my writing that really hasn't aged that well. Most of it was written while I was a lot younger, and while it was good for a 12 or 13 year old, it's not quite as impressive today. I'm saying its awful, but I think I should lay these pieces to rest. However that doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to read them. Take a look, if only to see how I've grown as a writer.
