The little star.

So here's the backstory to this text:
During th summer I wanted to write a boring informative text about the life of star. I did the resaerch and had everything planned but never wrote the text. That meant that I had learned a bunch of stuff and that it would just sit there forever. Then, one day, I wanted to write a children book style text but that would sientifically accurate-ish. The idea probably came from this video I had watched some time ago. So here is the result:

The little star was born a long time ago.
It was born when a big great big cloud of stardust
all got together in a very small space.

That little star then started glowing.
At first, it was small and dim.
But as it grew older, it became brighter and bigger.

The little star then glowed and glowed
And it did for a very long time
But one day, the little star became even brighter.

The little star was becoming bigger and brighter
It became so big and bright it exploded and transformed
Just like the caterpillar becomes a butterfly, the little star became a little black hole

The little star, now the little black hole, was once again small.
But it was now very heavy.
It was so heavy that the little black hole absorbed evrything around it.

The little black hole could not live forever.
As the little black hole grew very old it became smaller and smaller
After a long time, the little black hole became so small that it disappeared
And the little star was no more.

It is to be noted that I actually find this text pretty good. I generally find that my text range from passable to horrible but I find this good. So I’m happy.

A text.

So here is a crappy first draft of a text (that is filled with the most basic of error). Wanna know the backstory to this text? No? Well I don't care. A year ago I had to write a text with a mythical creature as one of the part of the text wether it the goal or the main caracther or anything else. The text I wrote is horrible. So I decided to take the idea back and make something not so horrible and the text you are about to see was born in a two or three hour. Please be aware that this is the first version of the text wich mean two thing: horrible grammatical error everywhere and shittier sentence in some place. Enjoy !

I was watching television when an alert came up on the screen. We were used to those as they normally served as alert for dangerous storm, but this time it was something of quite eerie A robotic voice started talking and sayed ''WARNING. AN UNKNOWN FLYING OBJECT HAS BEEN ATTACKING THE CITY. FOR YOUR SAFETY YOU NEED TO GET ON THE LOWEST POSSIBLE STORIE OF YOUR BUILDING AND BE AS FAR AS POSSIBLE OF FLAMMABLE OBJECT. WARNING. AN UNK...'' By now my whole familly, my mother, my brother and myself, were in the living room and had heard the message. Not taking any time to wonder about this weird message my mother took charge. She told me to go down to the first storie, as we lived in a two stories building we own, and be prepared to receive mt brother and herself. She then told my brother to get blankets and an extinguisher before joinning me. She would herself grab a few thing before joinning us.

I did what she asked me to do and went into the first storie and tried to make a spot free from flammable object. My brother shortly joind me with the supply and started helping me. Then we heard the sound of an airplane peircing the sky, and it was getting closer. The sound eventully passed just outside the house and were stunned for a bit, but soon we heard something much worse. We heard the sound of fire. Realizing what this meant I rushed out the door only to see that the whole top part of the building was on fire. I tried to go up the stair and help my mother but my brother held me back and rightly so. We had to go.

We started running to the north-west of our house for the sole reason that there was less fire in that direction, and that probably saved use. We ran and ran for a bunch of time but it would probably be futile. That's when passed to the right of the metro. My brother and I immediatly understood and got in the metro. The metro went deep underground and was all concrete and metal so we would be safe. As we went down light started to get rare as the electricity was cut so my brother got his phone out to provide us with a little bit of light. As we went down we realized we weren't the only one who had this idea and that there was a lot of people. We got ourselve a litle place down onto the rail and we waited still shocked from all this mandness. Eventually I fell asleep. When I woke up everything was silent. I hadn't been the sole to be sleeping. I decided to go up to look at the state of thing and saw the station, the part outside of the ground, had collapsed.

I immediatly went down to tell my brother. He decided we would walk on the rail path to the other station and that we'd simply hoped it wouldn't be destroyed. We statrted walking and that when my hunger hitted me. I hadn't eaten anything for the last sixteen hour or so. I felt like my stomach was gonna eat itslef. Eventually the death of mother too hit me. And I couldn't keep it in. I fell to the ground and started acting like a child crying and sobbing. This went on for some time until my brother mnaged to get me up and we walked again. When we arrvied to the station we went up the dead escalator and saw that we had been more lucky this time. The station was partly burned and partly collapsed but we could manage to get out. It seemed like a good idea. We started walking trough the remain having to crouch at time. We saw the exit and then heard a rumbling sound. My brother rushed me to the exit and ran just behind me. But it wasn't enough and just as I got out the whole thing fell down on him.

I just sat down, cried every single tear I had and just sat there. A few hour passed and I was eventually picked up by millitary helping the reasearch for survivor. I later heard description of the U.F.O. as a giant flying lizard who spatted fire. Maybe it was some kind of dragon, or maybe it was a weapon from another countrie and people saw it as dragon in their fear. What we know tough is that it was never saw again. That is my story.


So, that was it. As you can see the mythical creature was more of an excuse for the text rather than the center piece. Also, originaly there was a crappy prologue to go with it but I removed it to keep the dragon a punch. Here it is:

You know the story of the simple knight who defeated the almighty dragon? Well, quite obviously, this is impossible. Not only in that dragon doesn't exist but also because an actual dragon would be much more dangerous. With wich authority does I say this? With the one of someone who had to live trough an actual dragon attack. Now, let me tell you about this story.

I still can't find a title that doesn't spoil the punch. Eh.

Hi.

Hello. You might be wondering where you are? Well, you are on my blog. You probably don't care about why I made this blog, but I'll still tell you. The thing is, I like to show other peope what I do, but I hate facebook to the highest point so I made this blog. Whenever (probably never) I feel like it I'll post something. Originally this was just going to be a blog for my shitty text but I guess not. You probably won't enjoy your stay.
