Chapter One: The creation of feelings and shapes


Twice upon a time there were only two things: feelings and a color. The color was called Regoheketti (Rego for short). Rego was insanely bored and lonely because he needed more to do. In the past Rego had felt many feelings such as happy, cheerful, glad, and proud.
         You see, Rego had recently figured out how to take a piece of his body out, shape it, leave it there, change it whenever he wanted, and to put it back in his solid-squirmy-fluid-gassy body. The first 50 times, this brought on all the happy, cheerful, glad, and proud feelings. The next 50,000 times led to very, very extreme boredom. He’s been doing this for 50 years now.
See how it’s boring?



Now this is only chapter one. There are many more chapters coming up. Chapter two will be about when Regoheketti makes a microscopic cell and grows wiser with each word when he feels new feelings. Don’t miss chapter two!

  1. This sounds like the beginning of Kurt Vonnegut novel, Clark! I am SO impressed, and absolutely intrigued. I haven't read a book in awhile that has grabbed its audience so quickly in the beginning. I can't wait for Chapter 2.

  7. Very cool Clark! How are you at drawing? I feel like this would be a good illustrated story (I'm curious what Regoheketti looks like!). Looking forward to the next chapter!

  12. What a great hook, Clark! You really know how to lay out just enough information to intrigue your reader. And I love the foreshadowing at the end: "See how it's boring?" It gives your reader a hint that Rego is about to do something interesting because he so bored. This is a great start to a great novel!
