...Bad Fiction- A Smart Pig Very long time ago, there was a little, sexy, dirty, and green pig lived in a big, beautiful, sandy, and dark farm named "University of California Irvine." This pig was very talented and smart. For example, it could crow like a cock, it could mimic cats and catch mice, and it could also mimic sheep dogs and control sheep. All animals in the farm were complaining that pig meddled in other animals' jobs and then snatched the owner's attention away from them. The pig heard those animals' complains; however, it did not care about it at all. Instead, it sat down, shook its legs, shrugged its shoulder, and then said " You know what!? In this competitive society, in order to be better than others, and then make more money, get a higher job position, and have a better life, everyone needs to have skill-variety. Besides that, I also have obtained certifications for those of my skills, so you guys can never beat me." One day, the farm owner walked into the pig's room with an AK-47 rifle and said "My dear piggy, I am gonna kill you right now." The pig was shocked and then questioned " I am your best employee, why destroy me?" The owner said " I don't know, but I just feel that I want to eat pork barbecue today." The pig of course doesn't want to be eaten, so it jumped to the back of the owner, kicked the owner's head, tripped him, and then tied him to a chair and put a sock in his mouth. After that, the pig stole the owner's credit card, left the farm, traveled...

...it has slipped twinkling over the yellow sands in the sunlight before reaching the narrow pool. On one side of the river the golden foothill slopes curve up to the strong and rocky Gabilan Mountains, but on the valley side the water is lined with trees- willows fresh and green with every spring, carrying in their lower leaf junctures the debris of the winter's flooding; and sycamores with mottled, white, recumbent limbs and branches that arch over the pool. On the sandy bank under the trees the leaves lie deep and so crisp that a lizard makes a great skittering if he runs among them. Rabbits come out of the brush to sit on the sand in the evening, and the damp flats are covered with the night tracks of 'coons, and with the spread pads of dogs from the ranches, and with the split-wedge tracks of deer that come to drink in the dark. There is a path through the willows and among the sycamores, a path beaten hard by boys coming down from the ranches to swim in the deep pool, and beaten hard by tramps who come wearily down from the highway in the evening to jungle-up near water. In front of the low horizontal limb of a giant sycamore there is an ash pile made by many fires; the limb is worn smooth by men who have sat on it. Evening of a hot day started the little wind to moving among the leaves. The shade climbed up the hills toward the top. On the sand banks the rabbits sat as quietly as little gray sculptured stones. And then from the direction of the state highway came the sound...

...He’s addicted to planes. He has made nearly 35 models and has almost 50 books on different types of planes. Will ignored his mom. He didn’t want to go pick up his therapy dog, Rizzo. Will has Aspergers, which therefore makes him easily frightened by loud sounds, has immense trouble making friends because of his social awkwardness, and is overly routine oriented. He can also become easily fixated on topics of interest, like planes. Will can hear his mother’s feet stomping up the stairs. She opens the door and says in a particularly soft voice, almost a whisper, “William we need to go the shelter to pick up Rizzo, he’s expecting us.” She knew that he wouldn’t react well if...

...sound the back of my thigh made when I lifted it off the sticky vinyl seat. I remember seeing patchwork fields of rainbow-colored leaves resting on the yellow grass, wishing that I could rake them into big piles, so I could run through them, scattering them across the field again. I rolled the dusty window down to get a better look at the pastures as the hard wind rushed in over my face and through my hair. I stuck my head through the window and opened my mouth, so my cheeks would puff out like Dizzy Gillespie's when he played his trumpet. Slowly, my cheeks began to deflate, and the wind softened as my dad braked the car to turn into the driveway of my grandparents' home, the location of our annual May family picnic. My whole family had already arrived when we showed up. All my uncles immediately bombarded the car, playfully snickering with my dad about always being late so he would not have to help them cook. My Papa Joe, with his Afro of white hair, and my Grandma Lee Lee, who limped like a peg-legged pirate because one leg was shorter than the other, were sitting in lounge chairs talking about how much I had grown. My Uncle Kelly, whose left arm was shot off by his ex-wife during an argument, was walking around, complaining about how he was going to starve if he didn't eat soon. My Aunt Rosie, who always wore a tiny pair of rose earrings and kept a wad of chewing tobacco in her mouth, talked with my mom between spits of brown, runny liquid directed into her plastic cup....

By the look of his facial expression he was telling me to listen, my dad girlfriend was telling him how its in fair that the kids get more road kill then them to eat and they barely get none. The reason why we don’t get enough roadkill is because we live on the poor side of the Deep Forest trailer park. The rich side of the park gets there first because they have golf carts, were lucky enough if we scraps from the animals. Then I hear her explain” We could take the kids deep into the city and sell glass jars, after let’s say an hour we’ll say we're going to go back for supplies’ while they're still selling we will be back at the park.” Tears start running down my face,tinsel comforts me telling me it’s going to be ok. Tinsel gets up and pulls out a box full of bottle caps and puts them inside of his jacket coat....
