Run, Rat, Run (Second Version)

Run, rat, run! Run as fast as you can. You must run to earn your bread! If you stop running, You will earn nothing And you won’t be able to get fed. Run, rat, run! Run early in the morning Or run late into the night. Either wake up before Mr. Sun Or wake up with the Man in the Moon For you cannot afford respite. Run, rat, run! You’re the best runner we have! The most successful racer by far! Keep running at this pace And you just might win the race! Thank you for giving us all that you are. Run, rat, run! What’s this? You want extra crumbs? Proposturous! Utterly ridiculous! You’re not even that speedy And you’re already being greedy. You cannot possibly be serious. Run, rat, run! Don’t slow down now Though you puff and you pant for air. If you keep running You will stop foolishly thinking That this life isn’t right or fair. Run rat run! Don’t stop now! You must run all day, all night long! If you really hope to thrive And you really want to survive  You must continue to run strong!...

Jakob Sees the Moon


This is another short story I wrote inspired partially by these photos I took of the moon along with some drawings I have done in the past.



Jakob used his camera to take photos of the pale moon and observed it in curiosity. Threw the glass window he could see that this moon was a white, light grey color with darker grey splotches and craters on it. It was also kind of smaller than he had expected.

“What do you think?” His dad asked.
“It’s not blue, and its surface has craters on it, but it’s nice and unique in its own way,” Jakob replied. "And I kinda like the color." 
His dad looked at the moon and nodded in agreement. “Ready to fly back home?”
“Yeah.”
His dad powered up the engine of the spaceship.
“Dad, when do you think we’ll visit Earth?”
“Probably when you 14, son.”
As the spaceship flew away from Earth’s moon, Jakob watched the Earth, its moon, and its sun grow smaller and smaller until they were out of sight. A half-hour later, he could see his home planet again, the rainbow planet Zangar along with its blue moon Indigo. He smiled. It was good to be back. Though he looked forward to going to Earth one day, he could wait. His home was more than enough for now.
