Thought I'd put some of my creative writing work in here. This one is allies favorite:
When I was a kid my grandma took me to the dollar store. The only thing I wanted
was the pink daisy piggy bank with the extra wide slot for placing dollar bills inside.
Out of the vast variety of Daisy piggy’s I discovered the one hiding in the back behind all the others, ashamed, with one leg broken off and no where to be seen. This was the one for me. This pig although the others looked just as good, maybe even better, was the perfect pig. When I went to the cashier she looked down at me sympathetically and picked up the pig with her flamingo pink nails that made the pink of the pig look dull and plain compared to the sunset pink acrylics glued to her fingers.
“You sure you want this, doll? It’s missing a leg hun. We’ve got better piggy’s.” her accent was as thick as the trailer park walls she had came from. Her belly button ring was protruding and seemed to get closer and closer to my spotted freckled face.
“No, this ones good I can tell. It lost its leg fighting in ‘Nam for it’s country. It’s a hero.” My voice was heavy and masculine like almost upset with this woman and her tube top that showed too much on both ends.
Throughout the years the collection grew, elephants missing their tails, dollies without their eyes, quadriplegic apes and civil war veteran lions. The collection ever growing and when someone would enter my room the animals were stuffed into my closet as fast as possible to hide them from anyone who might not understand their beauty. All the animals but one, perfect doll with her flowered dress and rosy cheeks, she had all her legs and arms and both her precious little eyes. And somehow this was the doll I could not relate to.
Spacing is weird on this.
Kind of annoying.
I don't really like it. Then again it is my writing.

When everyone was listening to spice girls I also wanted to be Pat Benetar
