Story #1
Jack had no where else to turn. The police were close behind him and he was a the edge of the building. Could he jump? No, it was 50 feet down. He would break his back even if he fell in a pile of garbage. Jack looked down the edge, then looked behind himself, seeing the cops get closer. He thought about jumping, leaving fate to save him. He never really believed in fate, but miracles sometimes happen. Plus, even if he were to survive, the injuries constituting a five month stay in the hospital would beat being in prison. “We have you surrounded, give up now!”, the officer screamed. Jack knew that going with them was not an option. He decided that this was going to end now. He backed towards the edge when he was pummeled by shots from nearly every officer’s pistol. Filled with holes, he fell off the edge of the building. Minutes later, Jack woke up, woozy but not hurt. He had survived the whole thing.
Story #2
OH MY GOD! So, I was standing on the street corner the other day and this guy came up to me. He was broken as all get out. So he asks me if I had any change. What the hell? I use a debit card for everything. Anyways, I told him that I didn't have any change on me. I started to get hungry and needed food now. Taco's sounded good, especially ones from Taco Time. I started to walk south towards the closest one. I got there and let me tell you, that Chicken Soft Taco really hit the spot.
These two stories were what inspired me to start posting again. Based on that date, I think this was written sometime during my Sophomore year at BCC (now Bellevue College). I have no clue what my frame of mind was when I thought these up, though the fact that at the first one ends in unprovoked police brutality probably is a clue.

A portal back in time
Hey everyone!
Time to pull the old blog out of the cobwebs for a very special series. In cleaning out the folders on my computer, I came across a bunch of short stories that I had written throughout my college career. Honestly I forgot these existed and I plan on posting them as is, though If I get enough feedback saying whether people liked or hated a particular one i'll probably go back and edit it. If I get enough positive feed back I might go and clean some of them up as part of a portfolio or writing sample for employers. Anyways enjoy this first one and leave me any feedback you think of. Most of these don't have titles so i'll let you come up with that.
