I'm Your Ride to Freedom (Book) http://www.Writing.Com/main/books.php/item_id/1610749-Im-Your-Ride-to-Freedom I know that many people find introductions annoying, so I'll make this one quick. I wrote this story for my best friend, Michael. He's a dragon lover, so I thought he would enjoy this book for his fifteenth birthday. I had so much fun making this birthday present. No other gift I've ever made was more enjoyable to make. I'd like to give...[Read Full Post] Sun, 07 Feb 2010 23:33:55 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/677835 Michael Harrison searched through the fantasy section in the library. He ran his fingers across the book spines, searching for the title of a book he wanted. "Dancing princesses, demons... Dracula... " he whispered, "Aha. There you are: dragons." The books on dragons went on and on. His friend John had told him -- no, forbid him -- to ...[Read Full Post] Wed, 03 Mar 2010 00:57:09 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/677778 Michael was casually lying on his stomach under his bed covers, with a flash light in one hand and the dragon book open on his pillow. It was late: eleven-thirty, in fact. But even though his eyes were beginning to feel somewhat dry and tired, he couldn't tear his eyes off the pages of that book. There were elaborate pictures of dragons on every pag...[Read Full Post] Thu, 25 Feb 2010 01:00:10 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/677755 Despite Karina's protests, Michael continued to read the letter. Little by little, he would read as much of it as he could before the unpleasant symptoms appeared. Finally he was able to string all the little pieces together into one letter. Dear Reader, If you aren't familiar with the country Elipsus, let me give you a brief description. ...[Read Full Post] Thu, 25 Feb 2010 01:07:33 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/677738 Michael was standing on a rocky cliff overlooking the ocean. A strong ocean breeze blew salty air in his face. Mist from the waves pounding the cliff dampened his cheeks. There was a rosy glow over the horizon where the sun had set. Now there were two stars in the sky. He looked up over his shoulder to see a white and red lighthouse with its yellow blin...[Read Full Post] Wed, 10 Feb 2010 11:32:17 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/677410 "Okay," Karina said. "Ready to be scared to death?" "Could you just get to the point?" Karina looked a little embarrassed. "Okay. I'm going to show you the dragons on our farm." "From a distance?" "We'll start there." "Okay." Karina led him further behind the house, where the round tre...[Read Full Post] Mon, 08 Mar 2010 11:49:18 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/677078 Mildred and Edgar, being the warm, loving people they were, gladly let Michael spend another night at their house, and any other night, in that matter. But Karina wasn't foolish enough to listen to that silly strain in her, and she slept in her own room. Michael slept on the couch. However, Edgar's rat did not seem interested in terrorizing Micha...[Read Full Post] Tue, 02 Mar 2010 01:39:12 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/676339 "This is ludicrous!" Edgar boomed in frustration one night during dinner. "King Thomas's lost his damn mind!" Mildred peered over from her plate to look at the newspaper he was reading. "King Thomas has now passed a law stating that all dragon farmers must now pay a forty percent tax on their monthly income," she read. "W...[Read Full Post] Mon, 01 Mar 2010 02:14:52 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/676220 Michael peered through Karina's bedroom door, which was just cracked open. He could barely make out Karina's shadowy silhouette. Moonlight traced a ghostly, glowing, white line along her profile. She laid deathly still on the sheets, with her arms limply at her sides, and her eyes shut. Occasionally she would shiver. But her forehead was dripping...[Read Full Post] Wed, 03 Mar 2010 01:45:41 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/675422 Riley was nearly beside himself with anger when Michael came running back with Danabelle. "What -- what on -- what in the HELL were you doing!" Michael opened his mouth, but he had no answer. "I... well..." "He came to get me," Danabelle said, trying to help. "Hmph," Riley sniffed. "You just left me standing here, ...[Read Full Post] Wed, 03 Mar 2010 01:59:51 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/675316 They found a secluded area behind some hills just on the outskirts of the Elipsus capital. Tired dragons parked, and Independents dismounted, James began discussing plans for the fight with Nick, Anthony and Riley (Alexander sat beside them, listening with determined eyes). Michael tried to keep up with what they were saying, but it made little sense. &...[Read Full Post] Wed, 03 Mar 2010 02:21:27 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/675236 Karina opened her eyes, and immediately sat bold upright and gave a heavy cough. But it wasn't like a cough at the beginning of an illness; it was that of recovery, when the body was ridding itself of whatever was ailing it. She ran to the bathroom and coughed up the liquid that had accumulated in her lungs, the liquid that had been killing her. Then...[Read Full Post] Wed, 03 Mar 2010 02:37:33 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/674482 "Michael?" Danabelle said. "Are you dead?" Michael was lying on the snow, which was dyed an eerie crimson. King Thomas was lying only a few feet away, dead. "No," Michael answered, shivering. "But he was right. We can't win. I'm going to die, so I can't warn the other guys that they're heading into an ambush....[Read Full Post] Thu, 07 Jan 2010 02:40:02 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/673980 The following week was hectic. Which wasn't bad -- it was what had to happen in order for the dust to settle. Michael and Danabelle were both put in the hospital. Michael had lost a large amount of blood, but Dr. Madison said he would live. At first the doctor was worried that Michael had gotten and infection, because Michael's condition seemed ...[Read Full Post] Wed, 03 Mar 2010 02:53:18 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/672766
