I'm new to writing. I thought id give it a shot to write alittle something. Heres the beginning of it. Feel free to remark of any of my mistakes or what i could do better. Dont have a title yet.
Eight years old and days seemed so endless wishing I was out of misery. Early school mornings, mid afternoon piano lessons and a chance to catch dragon fly's on the walk home ,dreading if she's poisoned again when I arrive.
Never knew life could take so much innocents out of a Childs life. My world seemed so happy but yet always questioning it.
Hot summer days in little town called Tonguchun which was only 1 hour from Seoul. Dragon flies endlessly flying in swarms of many. Stands of fish and snails sold on the streets and alleys for the money would provide their dinners for that evening. children running down the streets of Korea chasing the army tanks hoping they would throw more dry packaged food then they did before. Grocery store on the street corner, a small spaced room with games chained and locked never having a door, open to the public. Which they called an arcade center. How cruel to put a strip bar next door. There 100 feet away was our apartment on the left . If you walked 1 block more you'd find a little building and in the upstairs window seeing the piano teacher smack the hands of musicians with a wooden stick if they pressed the wrong note. Across the street was my savior. I would save my lunch money days and days just to get more time of joy. In a parking lot of dirt there you found a trampoline with an old lady taking our money to get turns of 5 min to jump, but for the lunches untouched I could jump the longest. If only I could feel that happiness at the moment for the rest of my days and night to come.
