Final Reflection

1. I have written many things here in creative writing. One of pieces "Rubik's Planet" was inspired by my rubiks cubes. I have a sci-fi imagination so almost everything i think of is science fiction. I personally like my "Pumpkins" scary story. It wasn't so much as a scary story as it was a creepy one. I liked that story the most out of the things that i have written.



2. I have done some reading outside of creative writing for my English 4 class. I read several books one of which sparked me reading reading the entire series. The book was a book called "Across the Universe." This book started me in on the series. I have now read the entire series and think it was an amazing book series. Normally i will read on my kindle but this set of books was too much for me to purchase. I had to read it in an actual book. I haven't done that in a very long time. The books were still good and i greatly enjoyed them.

3. While setting up my blog i had to think of a creative name. I thought about the classes name and decided to name my blog that. Just with an s on the end of it. I think that the people who read my blog were the ones who enjoyed sci-fi books. I dont think anyone will read this blog again since i will probably never post to it again. I dont think that i will be using this blog again because i have no use for it. Maybe one day when im famous for something someone will find this blog and tell everyone about it. But for now. I will probably never use it again.

4. Journaling was fun for awhile when we had things to put in it but i couldn't ever think of anything to put in it since i wanted to write a story that didn't get messed up in the middle because we needed it for something in class. The things in my journal are things related to the class. Things like short story's, poems, and sometimes a collage or two. I wouldn't want anyone to read my journal since i dont like people going through my stuff very much. I will probably never write in it again because i just wont think of anything to put in it.

5. Red flowers, red petals, green center with what appears to be gold spots, many petals, lines down the petals. second flower with the same center petals coming toward the front of the photo instead of lying more flat. green background. water drops on the petals. the flowers make me feel happy like i was a kid again.

6. Mysterious Object

As our explorer came to the mysterious object he noted that it kind of looked like a ship. The scientists let him know that the satellites seemed like something of no concern for the time being. As he got close to the mysterious object he noted that there seemed to be a lot of energy here. He did a few scans of the ship and found that the satellites all sent a signal to here and the mysterious object sent a signal to the satellites. He found an entrance where his ship could dock. He docked his ship and ready his weapons and a space suit. Even though he found that there was indeed oxygen on the ship he didn’t want to risk it. As he bored the ship he noted that the ship had a very futuristic design to it. He made his way to room that looked like it was the control room for a ton of functions. He found things that controlled the planets climates and controlled that controlled the people on the planet. It looked as if the ship itself controlled the solar system. Finding no lives on board the ship using the internal ship scanners he decided to call the science team to him to take a better look at the ship.

As the scientists made their wat to the new ship they noted that the signals were the same as the ones emitting from the satellites. They proceeded to dock with our explorer’s ship and board onto the mysterious object. As the scientists tested the ship for signs of life and something controlling the ship they found a machine unlike anything on earth.

They found that an artificial intelligence has been controlling the solar system for well over 10,000 years. The AI was extremely complex. They decided that this technology was too much to take in and sent a report to earth.

As out explorer explored more of the ship he found a room that looked like it created a hologram. He switched it on and the first thing the AI said made the explorer jump out of his skin. The AI told him that he was the creator of the AI. At some time there had been another civilization on earth that made this solar system. They now live here. The six rulers of the world. Pure, hatred, green, desert, water, and finally joy. All six had wanted different things for their world. They decided to create a system that would never fail and would make the six worlds independent of each other. They created a AI that could keep the worlds this way. And then they died off. The AI has run the worlds ever since then with no thought as to what else to do.

The scientists left the ship giving it the all clear. Our explorer left the ship as well only to not interrupt what the ship has been doing. They all left the solar system as to not interrupt the planets and let them live out their lives in peace. As our explorer left the solar system he sent one last report to earth:

Exploration Month Six:

Found a mysterious object. Explored the mysterious object. No other information found.

All planets seem dangerous to live on. Satellites seem to do nothing. No Go.

End of report.



7. I dont really plan on doing anymore creative writing in the future. I think out of creative writing you get the knowledge of who you really are and not who others want you to be. For other writings in school you would do a essay or something like that where creativity is not much of a thing.

8. I would like to say thank you to everyone in my class for helping me out in writing. It was mainly the people at my table but i still worked with some of the others in my class. I would like everyone to know that they can do anything they want so long as they put their mind to it.

9. For my last post i posted an excerpt from something i started writing a long time ago but never got in the mood to write to it again. http://jlcreativewritings.blogspot.com/2016/12/military-life.html

Military Life

Today I am seventeen. Only one year left to prepare for the Military Academy. The year I'm graduation prep school is 2056. In this time we are in war between North Korea and someone else which has been deemed highly classified. I want to know who this other enemy is. That’s why I have decided to help out and join the military. Today is the start of a one year training regime at my prep school. Today I become a soldier.
--The Next Day--
I'm at school right now. We are about to start running our main course. The best time through the obstacles was five minutes. I will beat that today.
Here at the starting line is where I prepare to beat the best time. I hear the starter pistol  fire and off I go. I am running the first mile in the course. I have to run this in 2 minutes. I get to the end of the run at 1 minute and 55 second. No time to rest I must keep going. I continue my sprint through the obstacles. I jump the hurdles that are taller than me without a single problem. Up and down through the weaving trees. I hit the end at a time of 4 minutes and 30 seconds. I have beat the record for the course.
The judges ask to see me alone without everyone so I follow them to where they want me. They have brought me to a meeting room in the back of the facility. There's someone else here but I don’t know who they are. They are wearing what looks like an exoskeleton.  The person wearing the suit tells me that he was the original holder of the record for that course. He says he wants me to join a program that goes by the name SSF. He won't tell me what it stands for but he informs me the I will get any answer in a little while if I choose to join.
I tell him that I will join so long as the first thing I learn is what our other enemy is. He says that the enemy that I don’t know about is an alien that they have yet to give a name. The current name for them is Stupid Aliens. We both laugh when he says that and he takes me to his car. However his car isn't really a car. It’s a VTOL jet. It looks awesome.
We hop in and get ready to go. I wonder when I will be able to see my parents again. Even in the prep school we weren't allowed to our parents as they could cause a distraction. By the time I'm not spaced out anymore I realize that we are in space. I asked him why we are in space and he informs me that my training will no longer occur on earth but on a moon base built about two years ago.
I guess that I will no longer know what day of the week or time it is. I assume that my training will take place over a year or two.
When we land we head to a science facility. I see tables with electronics on them and see that some of the tables have doctors who are looking at me at them. I wonder what their thinking about me. I overhere one of them say that I don’t look like a military person. The person I'm with tells me to go over to them and lay down on the table. As I am assuming he is of a entirely higher rank than I am I obey his command.
When he gets over to me he informs me that in order to join the SSF I have to have some electronics inside my human body. Making me a cybernetic organism. I told him so long as I can keep complete control of my body its fine. He laughed and said this isnt to take control of you its to give you more control. You started birth with a tail. Here in the SSF you need that tail to be able to do things that we do. I was startled by the fact that I needed a tail but I went with. They put me on something to make me sleep

About the author

Jean-Luc lives in Springfield, Missouri. He lives with his family. He has a cat named Sassy and she is a very sassy one. He doesn't write books as often as he programs.

Food for thought

A short story about a misplaced turkey.

When a family was going to pick up the turkey they had to find the right one. It had to be of a good size and antibiotic free. They went to a local wal-mart to pick one up. They found the perfect one. It was 10.65 lbs and cost them $15.63. They brought it home and prepared it for cooking. After it was prepared they put it in the oven for three hours. After three hours they pulled it out and decided to cut it open. Upon cutting it open they discover that there was a small chicken on the inside of the turkey. It looked like a baby but was completely cooked now. This thanksgiving was a very ruined one.

Childhood Memories

12. I have had many injuries in my lifetime. The most memorable injury I've had happened at school. One of my friends knocked me over and i landed on my right wrist. I went home right after with a sprained wrist and damaged nerves throughout my thumb. The next day in my second block class I had asked my teacher for another way to do my assignment since i couldn't write very well and she sent an email to my mother saying that i was refusing to do my work. That teacher was one of the worst I've had.

15. My favorite game growing up was monopoly. I loved to play it with my family because i would always get the boardwalk. I would usually always win because of that. No one likes to play it anymore so its a little boring nowadays.

17. My favorite food back then was fruit snacks. I would usually eat the entire box in about a day. It was fun because my mother would always say i'll buy these for you but you cant eat all of them in one day.
