Discuss EJ's answer to: Help please... I need ideas and stories A.S.A.P. Thanks :)

Grr I checked my edline this morning and what to my surprise do I find you ask? Assignments snow day assignments why do teachers do that I will never understand so yeah. My question is my English ...

I was one year old at the time, born that July into a set of triplets, my wide eyes looking out at the world in the way only a newborn's can. It was December now, my first New Years approaching fast, bringing with it new colors and sounds.My parents were sitting on the boardwalk, my sisters and I in a stroller looking out at the St.Johns river, which snaked though our Floridian town, it's calm waters occasionally disturbed by a passing boat. It was night, and the cold air smelled of salt, the cry of a gull somewhere in the dark broke the silence every now again. I fiddled around in my stroller, as babies do, when I felt something cold on my cheek. I tried to reach it with my stubby arms, but couldn't.  My mother noticed my distress, she reached down, and plucked a snowflake of my cheek. I looked up at it, the lights around us making it appear to glow. I reached for it wanting to hold it, My mother gently handed it to me, I watched it melt in my hand. I looked all around for it, wondering where it had gone, but I couldn't find it. I started to cry, my parents laughed at my confusion, thinking how silly it was. Snow started to fall around us, I grabbed at them and watched as they melted away for a while, until Mom and Dad took us home. That was my first and last snow, that was in 1989, it hasn't snowed here in twenty years.

I've never had much surety in my life. But then, it is surety that scares me. It is often men who are sure, so steady in their ideas, that are sure they can get away with crimes, or worse, are sure they are the right thing to do. So I will be unsure, and I will question my life, and I will in turn be better for it. EJ PianoSnots, and Shadow the Snotshepherd. Official 1 1/2 members of S.N.O.T.S!
