Novel excerpts: Children's fantasy


Llama Spit



Chapter 1

Robby and Alex were licking their ice cream cones, smiling and giggling. Alex is Robby's best and most favorite friend. They have been friends since they were babies.

In school that day, Alex had made Robby laugh so hard they got in trouble with the teacher. Alex has a bully and the bully, Brandon was being especially mean to him that day on the play ground. Alex stood up from our game of Pokemon cards and said as loud as he could, Well, your mom's so stupid she stuck a battery up her butt and yelled, I got the power. All of the kids started laughing so hard our stomachs hurt. Brandon was so embarrassed, kids never laughed at him! He turned and ran away after all the kids on the play ground kept on laughing.

We laughed and laughed and laughed, all through the day. Even in class when the teacher was speaking. It wasn't just Robby and Alex laughing, it was the entire class.

Robby got home from school excited to tell his mom what happened that day with Alex and how Alex embarrassed the school bully. When he ran off the bus and into his house, his dad was home. Dad is never home until dinner, or later.

Robby, come sit down. We have some news for you. Said Robby's dad. Robby went over to the couch very worried.

Honey said his dad with very serious eyes, we are moving next week, isn't it exciting?

Robby was crushed, 'NO, NO' he thought. We can't be moving, I have only lived here all my life. Why daddy? said Robby.

Daddy got a promotion. The job is in Oxford, Mississippi. It's a great little town and I know you are going to love it. We are going to be making more money. Mommy can even stay home to take care of you.

Chapter 2

Robby and Alex's last day together was very sad and they both promised to write letters and their parents said they could visit every so often. Driving away from home, and through the town towards somewhere in Mississippi, Robby thought of all the good times. 'Oh, there is Walmart, I loved that Walmart, we had good times. Oh, there is my favorite gas station, they are the only gas station in town that has the juice filled wax candy that I love, Oh, there is my favorite movie theatre that has the best nachos and coolest video games in town.' Robby's memories kept going about all the fun times even after they drove out of his home town.

Robby's mom tried to keep up conversation in the car, she tried to get him to play the driver's liscence game and the billboard game which is his favorite car game, they have to find a billboard
