4-Year-Old Fears

The child sat on the floor against his bed, clasping his teddy bear as he hummed an unrecognizable tune. He knew that he was supposed to be sleeping, but for some reason, he just couldn't seem to keep his eyes closed

Ha, it reminds me of the old Cryptkeeper tales...

Yeah, this is an example of me forcing something out at the last minute. I thought of sleeping and took the crappy story from there.

Nice.

I'm thinking Goosebumps, I could kind of see this as an R.L. Stein Story, and, if I remember for all those years ago, his books weren't much longer. Haha, but no, usually about 120 pages in rather large print.

But, a nice quick story.

Oh Goosebumps. I used to love those books. Yeah, I actually reminded myself of an old Bruce Caville story (I think that's the guy's name). I tend to be pretty devoid of original thought when it comes to story writing it seems.

Oh phooey :p.

I'm not sure who Bruce Caville is but the story was actually pretty cool. I just remember all those talking dummy books, the scarecrow, the dog, the bee, I read like the first 30 of them when I was little, he was putting out like umpteen million a year. Cheesy stories.

Your story was cool, and it's goosebump feel was a nice memory to bring up. Life's too complicated nowadays, remembering the simplicity was nice.

superficial seemed to be my best avenue here.

Well actually, I am planning on coming to your little shin-dig, Mario. However, this all depends on whether or not my car wants to drive me there, so we will see.

For some reason I happened to stumble onto this. I happen to like it.
