Fairy Tales

"This is a little story that I started writing but haven't worked on it for awhile so I think this would make a good writing exercise to start writing from. Maybe it will draw some in or not either way writing is an obsession for me that needs to be fed daily and so I am going to feed it every day of my life."

Fairy Tales

It was a warm and sunny day as Chris left his apartment for work. He thought it was strange to be so warm so early but was grateful for the sun to be shining as he rode his bike. He loved how Chicago looked early in the morning. Sometimes he would just stop and admire all the people rushing to their destinations, not noticing what nature had to offer. He locked up his bike and ran into the coffee shop to get his daily fix. A mocha latte was his weakness and he feared that one day they would become the death of him. He looked at his watch and realized he only had ten minutes to make it to the staff meeting before he would get into trouble for being late, again. He placed his messenger bag on his desk and ran to the conference room just in time to make the morning meeting. He still couldn't believe that only a month out of college he lucked up to get a job working for the local city paper. It actually kind of fell into his lap and he knew he couldn't let the opportunity pass him by. He had wrote stories for his college newspaper and some how they ended up on the Editor's desk. The editor personally gave him a call and invited him in for an interview. He was quite impressed with his work and offered him a job right there on the spot. A year later and he loves his job even more.
