Chain Writing - Childhood

   Sometimes I get buried deep in my own thoughts till I suffer from extreme nostalgia. Why did my childhood pass so fast? What have I done during my childhood, when I was so pure, so ignorant to realize the true side of the world? I only believed in the facets of what I saw, which seemed mystical and somewhat related to my destiny. - Han Jong Hyun
   Even at this moment I'm thinking about how I should have studied harder. It won't make any difference in my life, but that's what I do regret. Right now, with a cup of coffee in my hand, I'm looking out the window of my house. There, in the backyard, is an old tree. My father used to tell me that it had been planted by my great great grandfather when he first bought this house. Well, that's not what I want to talk about today, though. What I want to talk about is my childhood friend Gregor.
   When Gregor an I were seven, we used to climb the old tree. We climbed up and jumped down frm the lowest branch. We used to.. until tht day. I clearly remember the day he fell the wrong way and cracked his skull. Poor fellow.. I heard he is still in the hospital. - Hwang Woo Chan
   Even at this moment, I'm regretting my hermitlike life. I regret that I didn't make any friends. I especially regret that I never had any girlfriend. I can still remember when Joel, a girl I met at my elementary school, turned me down. I can still remember the exact words.
   "Jong Hyun, you are nice, but you are not my type." That got me so depressed that I became reluctant to make any more friends. Now, I know that Ishould have been more active. I should have asked more girls out.. Or wait. Maybe it's not too late yet. I will hit on every girl I see from now on. - Si Seong Un
   Okay. I'm going to make this real good. I murmured to myself as I opened the door to the outer world, the door to end this creepiness dwelling inside of me that drove everybody away. I will now reborn as a Casanova, the king of chicks. Although it is challenging for me to change my habit so abruptly, but hell, my decision is as firm as the good old Berlin Wall. You chicks just wait and see, I will be there in no time. - Kim Do You
   From now on, I will attend every party held as long as there are girls. From now on,I will learn the techniques of asking girls out from my best friend, Peter Si, the greatest Casanova of our era. I heard that he fell in love with Joel, so I guess I have to let her go as i is impossible to compete against this guy. However, my golden age begins today. I will take over the world, with every girl on my side, and we will march together arm in arm. - Han Jong Hyun
  
  

Spring, summer, fall, winter and spring

I am sure that the unsophisticated boy did not expect such a tragic outcome. What he started for fun brought a disastrous result, leaving a heavy burden in his heart. I am able to understand how the boy feels as I have similar experiences.

           When I was young, still too naïve to understand the existence of living things, we raised two chicks in our house. They were so yellow, so cute that I could not take my eyes off them. I never forgot to feed them and observed them with a great delight. One day, after feeding them as normal, I brought out super glue. And out of sheer curiosity, I stuck this super glue on the chicks’ feet. Watching them unable to move, I giggled, and laughed so hard till I rolled on the floor. My grandmother, hearing the noise, came out to the living room, saw what I have done, and I can tell that she was not very happy. She brought me into the room and quietly told me to observe what will happen to the chicks for the next few days.

           I felt the same way as the boy did when I saw them dead one morning. I cried, cried and cried till there were no more tears to come out. After drying my tears, I cried again, and this process was unceasing. I knew immediately that I killed two living things that were extremely precious to me. Whether accidental or too ignorant to comprehend the reality, I was a murderer and still am.
