Broken Record

My brother’s like a broken record.  He tells me about how we used to bike around the neighborhood pretending we were race car drivers, and how we’d gained multiple knee scrapes from turning the curb too fast. He’ll tell me this story twice, thrice, or even four times in a row, and laugh about the good ol’ days. I laugh with him, because though he doesn’t remember that he’s already told me this story for the fourth time in a row, he does remember the fun we had. My brother’s like a broken record, but I don’t mind one bit.

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.
