Happy New Year 2007!!!
Here is a story I have been writing during winter break:
Jo Jo and Brooks
by Jem Big Sky III
Part One
Once there was a man named Jo Jo who had a cat named, Brooks. Jo Jo, or Johannes Johannson, which was the name he was born with, often liked to take walks around his neighborhood. One dayhe realized as he turned around that his cat, Brooks, was following him down the street. He picked up Brooks and brought him back to his house, while Brooks voiced his unhappiness at being picked up. This routine went on for a couple of weeks until finally Brooks stopped following Jo Jo and Jo Jo almost wished when he turned around that he would see Brooks. He got used to seeing his cat following him and it had become part of his daily routine.
Jo Jo worked at the bakery where the local bread was made and had to get up early to go to work. When it became winter, he would be walking to work in the dark, when one day he got to work and realized as the sun was coming up, that his cat, Brooks, had followed him and he had not noticed it. Jo Jo became nervous because he didn’t have time to walk Brooks all the way home. So, he thought quickly about what to do. He thought about hiding him in a closet at work, but worried that someone would find him, like the janitor, and would chase Brooks away.
Jo Jo picked up Brooks and started to walk towards the bakery when he suddenly had an idea. He put his small red lunch cooler down and emptied out his turkey sandwich and the bag of ice, along with the package of peanut butter cookies that had been given by his neighbor, Cindy. He put his cat in the cooler and closed the lid. He then realized that Brooks would not be able to breath if he kept him in there. So Jo Jo took out his pocket knife and after pulling out a confused Brooks from the cooler, he started poking holes through the lid with the knife. He began to realize that he was ruining his only lunch cooler so he quickly stopped.
Jo Jo thought maybe the two holes would be enough if he left the lid partially open also. Suddenly, he looked at his watch and realized that he had three minutes to go another block and a half to work, so he put Brooks in the partially-opened cooler, put his lunch in his jacket pocket and jogged his way to the Bakery.
