I might have started a multi-chapter story but never would have finished. This is much more imaginative than anything I would have written!MEKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06238234020380937157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19901072.post-8343436855704299512012-01-21T09:38:59.296-08:002012-01-21T09:38:59.296-08:00This is precious, many thanks for sharing, Cameron...This is precious, many thanks for sharing, Cameron.Ton S. https://www.blogger.com/profile/10691201724230891974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19901072.post-43507380700453288042012-01-21T08:53:27.257-08:002012-01-21T08:53:27.257-08:00@ machinengeschriben: The secretary is based on a ...@ machinengeschriben: The secretary is based on a character in the Oz books, Tic-Tok the Machine Man, who was wound up with a key.

I did not like reading until college, unless it was something about radio. I tried typing at the same age. I doubt even my typing would have been anywhere near as good as yours. Nice work. Thank you for the post. I look forward to the rest.Bill Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14649212489891769390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19901072.post-24640740687261143152012-01-20T23:35:13.950-08:002012-01-20T23:35:13.950-08:00Pretty good for an eleven year old.
