Greetings, friends.

How goes it, readers of my journal entries?? Of course, I'm only expecting me to read these, but oh well...every so often it entertains me to just take it away and type whatever I please!

So I have decided that my topic today shall be...a short fictional story that is not related to me or to anyone I know whee So...let's begin!

Once upon a time (cliche beginning. excuse me) there was a man named Sharriette who lived by himself in a little cottage in the woods. He always distanced himself from other people because of two terrible things about himself. First of all, his name. Sharriette! It was so feminine that he was just so embarrassed! Second! His wrists! He had fat wrists!! Poor Sharriette was just so self conscious about these two things, that he hid himself away from the world in such a cottage.

Now, on one special day, Sharriette wandered a little farther away from his original path in the woods that he took every day. He was picking mushrooms, and from his fat wrist swung a basket filled to the brim with plump and succulent wild mushrooms. He skipped along and whistled a little tune that he had made up himself!! As he was skipping, he heard some beautiful singing from up ahead. He wondered what the singing could be! The voice guided him, and he tiptoed around the corner...only to see the back of a menacing bear!! He ran away back to his little cottage, not bothering to pick up some of the mushrooms as they fell out of his basket.

The next day, feeling refreshed, he once again ventured into the woods to pick mushrooms. Again he heard the beautiful singing, and he followed it. This time, he was sure that the bear would not be there. But today the singing came from within a cave!! Treading with caution, he entered the cave. Trembling a little, he felt a surge of confidence as the singing became louder. Until...!!! The singing stopped! And a light flickered on...and the shadowy face of a bear appeared!!! It suddenly dawned on Sharriette...that the lovely voice had undoubtedly come from this hunkering bear!!! Suddenly...she(?) spoke to Sharriette...
bear: "I was waiting for you."
sharriette: "eh?"
bear: "I love your fat wrists!"
sharriette: "...?!"
bear: "and I love your manly name. ooh~&3"
sharriette: ".........?!"
bear: "I thought you might like my singing..." *blushes* (bears can blush??)
sharriette: "but I'm a human!"
bear: "...I'm so sorry!"
sharriette: "I'm only interested in other humans. I'm sorry!"
bear: "nooOOOOOOOO!!!!"
sharriette: "hm...aaaaaaaaaaaah!" *runs out of the cave crying*
bear: *lumbers after him, catches up, and picks him up* "If I can't have you, no one will!"
sharriette: "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah"
bear: "first I'll have my way with you, then I'll kill you!"
sharriette: "no I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I do love your beautiful voice though!"
bear: "really? &3)" *sets down sharriette*
sharriette: "okay would you like to come over to my cottage?"
bear: "sure!"

And the two set off happily hand in paw, skipping off toward Sharriette's cottage. blaugh

Epilogue:
A few years later, Sharriette and the Bear, whose name is Bobette, are now neighbors. Once Sharriette explained to Bobette the circumstances of human love and why they couldn't be together romantically, Bobette understood. The two are now the best of friends and enjoy singing duets together and going off into the forest to pick mushrooms. And Sharriette no longer needed any human company...they both lived happily ever after.

Man...I hope no one actually reads this. (except for Lunar_Halo_80 cool <--- did I spell your name correctly??

Anyhoo...what the heck was wrong with that entry? I mostly just wrote whatever came to mind. I have a weird and random mind. I'm disappointed in that story. VERY disappointed.
