War & Thanksgivings
It was way passed 1774 when the Continental Congress declared Independence. And the war has been raging for many years, we had some wins and some losses. The colonists had the odds stack against them. And they were tired. And they were worn. And they were weary. Yet they wanted justice. They wanted justice for their families. They wanted justice for their children. They wanted justice for their lands. And they weren't ready to give up. They weren't ready to give in. The colonists had fearless leaders from the Continental Congress to the Generals and one of them was George Washington. Washington invested everything he had in the war. And he was determined to win. He was determined to fight to the bitter end. He was experienced and disciplined in duty and service. And he knew how to effectively move Congress and his men. Most people in those days called him the General. The General was always giving his troops, parties and paying for marriages and giving awards when they completed a mission. The General was well protected and well loved by his troops. Everywhere he went there were colonists who became apart of the cause. There were colonists who willingly spied on British Redcoats. There were colonists who risk their lives to help us. And the colonists were united. Those Redcoats were merciless. They were cruel. They treated the colonists like servants even in their own house. And they ate their food, took their clothes, consume their supplies and lied in their Master's Bedroom by order of the King, King George. King George ordered that if the colonists resisted giving the Redcoats access to their goods then the Redcoats could arrest them, attack them or convict them. The colonists were fed up and willing to die for the cause. They knew that they could not look back.

50,000 Words Challenge. Top Story - November 2023.
Guess what? I finished that "50,000 words writing challenge" thing a couple days ago! First though - I'm not calling it NaNoWriMo anymore for a reason. Some serious allegations against that organization have been circulating in the past week or so and I'd rather not be promoting them anymore. At least not until after they actually tell us what happened, address their problems, and fix their issues. Maybe then. We'll see.

But Abhi also got 2nd place. In this way, both of them completed their schooling for about four years, passed the ninth standard and advanced to the 10th standard. Both Abhi and his brother chose science. Along with them, many other friends in their class choose Science stream. Both Abhi and his brother were always quiet and did not talk to anyone unnecessarily. That's why their friends liked to make fun of them. The girls in their class also studied very well and 3 of them were always ahead of the girls in their studies, their names were Nahi, Sanji and Seiju. They get the best marks in exams among girls. Total number of boys and girls in Abhi's class is 21. Among the girls there was one girl who like Abhi liked to keep quiet. Her name is Prachi. She is also very good in studies.

Then one day on one of their religious functions, Abhi goes for a walk with his friends. Prachi also goes there with her parents. Abhi got to see Prachi. Abhi thinks if she will tell him everything on that occasion. But he was too shy to propose her in front of everyone so he couldn't say anymore. Abhi could not tell her anything more out of respect for his parents and family. And the wall father was also a very angry man. And so Prachi is very afraid of her father. So she too can't say anything to Abhi. As a result, they all went back to their homes. And Abhi also went back to the house and kept thinking only about the wall. And a few days passed by thinking like this. Thus 1 month passed, 2 months passed but Abhi could not tell her anything. The following month, their test examination began. So they all focus on studies. Abhi also couldn't forget Prachi. He concentrates on studies. After the completion of their test exams, their exam results were released. Prachi did very well in girls and came 5th while Abhi's brother came 1st in boys and Abhi got 3rd in boys. And so Abhi's family also his SSC exam started that year they all cleared the exam and their exam result was released within 1 month. Abhi still loves her from the bottom of his heart and finds out the result. After that all his friends got admission in good college of their choice. But Abhi got admission in a polytechnic and Prachi got admission in a government college. As a result, they never met again. And Abhir was not proposed to Prachi. But Abhi still loves her deeply and thinks that one day she will study and get a good job and marry her. And this is how their unfulfilled love ends.

Why Writing Makes Me Happy
When I started writing short stories I was sixteen years old. It was my only outlet I ever had. The only place I felt like I could share my thoughts and feelings inside. Which led to storylines, and world building. While others had friends, and a social life something I never had until I got older it was probably the loneliest life I ever had. I found things to be a struggle in my youth because I wasn't heard.

I love Momma. Momma was a hard worker. Olivia Newark did not stop at I love you with her children. She would work day and night to provide. And I say that because Momma had an older child named Cicelia. Cicelia was strong willed and just like Momma when she was young. She would love imitating Momma. And she got so good at it that she thought she was Momma, that's what Momma said. Cicelia was a loving child and very cute. She won a pageant when she was just six years old. And Momma said I look like her. Momma said Cicelia got to grown and to talkative when she was maturing. And Momma sought her away and sign her up to the military. I'm Cissy. I never tried Momma like that. I always obeyed because Momma was like my hero. She was the most important person in my life. Especially since I did not know my father. He left us after I was born. Momma said father just bail out on us and walk away. So Momma was my mother, she was my best friend and she was my hero. I love hearing Momma's stories about work and doing the right thing. Momma would get so much into her stories that she would act out the parts. And I would be thrill as a child and she made me laugh as a young woman. Momma made me feel at home. Ever so often Cicelia would write from the military but Momma would not read the letters. Momma would ask me to read and tell her the jest. Momma wanted to know if she was okay and doing good. So I would read the letters and report back to Momma. Momma would look worried and fret but be relieved when she hear that my older sister was okay.

The Band
It was the 70's. The time of music was this era. And we were ready to rock and get to the top. We were ready to conquer Pop too with R&B and Blues. We were still young. Still kicking it. We were ambitious. We were brothers. We cared for each other. We stick up for each other. We lift each other. Our dreams were the same. Our dreams were one. Our band St. James was the new sound. We were to new rockers of our time. We were hopeful. We were strong willed. And everybody knew it. I am Johnny. My other band mates are Jonathan, Caleb, and Bradley. Jonathan was the oldest and he loved to rock the guitar. He always had the itch to add funk to the song. He really was a true rocker. And the fans really love him. Caleb was the youngest. Caleb was everybody's little brother. He always would do something risky on stage and get the fans rowdy. And Bradley was the songwriter, every beat and every word that gets to him, he would make into a song. And the song would take over the airwaves. And me Johnny I was the bandleader, I was the lead singer who could bring the act together. We were upcoming stars. We were on our way to stardom. We were ready to be legends.
