Special Notes
I have grammatical problems where I will think one thing and type another. I still get my theirs, theres and they'res messed up even though I know what they're supposed to be.
In my story Have None I have based my loose facts off of another short story I read about youths who went off to fight, either lying about their age or getting recruited near the end of Hitler's war. If I have my facts wrong then I'm sorry, I was merely writing off another piece of fiction.
The stories called Your Prince, Washed Up and Never Be Right are written in the second person only abstractly, much like the fan fiction I wrote for Gravitation called Invisible Cuts, which you can read on my account at Fanfiction.net (link at bottom).

Some of my favorite literature quotes:
A Prayer For Owen Meany by John Irving
- "We have a generation of people who are angry to look forward to. And maybe two generations of people who don't give a shit."
- "She must have thought it was a pity that some poor fools had to waste their lives writing in order for us to have sufficient reading material."
- "Every American should be forced to live outside the United States for a year or two. Americans should be forced to see how ridiculous they appear to the rest of the world! They should listen to someone else's version of themselves-to anyone else's version! Every country knows more about America than Americans know about themselves! And Americans know absolutely nothing about any other country!"
- "(I am tempted to say it was a "nonpracticing homosexual," but I don't.)"
- "The only way you can get Americans to notice anything is to tax them or draft them or kill them."
The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien
- "There should be a law, I thought. If you support a war, if you think it's worth the price, that's fine, but you have to put your own precious fluids on the line. You have to head for the front and hook up with an infantry unit and help spill the blood. And you have to bring along your wife, your kids, or your lover. A law, I thought."
- "The thing about a story is that you dream it as you tell it, hoping others might them dream along with you, and in this way memory and imagination and language combine to make spirits in the head. There is the illusion of aliveness."
The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
- "Every one suspects himself of at least one of the cardinal virtues, and this is mine: I am one of the few honest people that I have ever known."
- "Americans, while occasionally willing to be serfs, have always been obstinate about being peasantry."
- "I tried to go them, but they wouldn't hear of it; perhaps my presence made them feel more satisfactorily alone.
