The Reason I Write

I write these stories now so kids can look back in time and see how things once were, an age before technology took over and changed the way kids interact. It was a time when you didn’t need to worry about a boogie man lurking around the corner. The world seemed so much safer than it does now. I believe most kids today are missing out on the adventures that  the boomer kids  enjoyed. So, for those that don’t get out and scramble up rock cliffs, ride bikes miles away from home and camp out by a river with friends, this is for you, a look back at some of my adventures. Though they are of the domestic kind, they still should be better than sitting  and watching TV.

They are not necessarily in chronological order, however one day, when enough of the stories come to mind and finally find their way to written  page, I will probably put them in order.

I begin my short stories with one of my last young adventures, living in a cabin in the woods.  It was a time of transition, a time of being a child with child like adventures and wonders of the outdoors, transitioning to a time of growing up and a changing of my world view.

I was seventeen and finishing up high school when I moved to the woods. There were several reasons for doing so, however, I will not go into them just now.  I hope you enjoy the stories and maybe they will take you on an adventure of your own.
