what's the point?

Two Stories by Joshua Cohen, Age 10

A little explanation first. These were written for a school project in 1985. We had to make our own magazine. These are two "articles" I wrote for the magazine. Spelling and grammatical mistakes have been kept intact along side my apparent homocidal leanings. Why I wasn't sent to a psychiatrist for this stuff I'll never know. Without further ado...

Invasion of the KILLER ANTS

Once in a small village in India a flock of geese were devoured by a swarm of ants. These ants are dangerous! They could eat an elephant in one gulp! All people in India were on alert to watch for the ants, but that didn't do much. In a matter of days India's population was wiped out. These ants devoured almost every country except for two; America and Rusia. American president Ronald Reagan JR. took action. He launched nuclear missles. Nothing happened. Finnaly the congres called on Commando. They gave him two weapons: a fighter craft and a high tuned electric guitar. Commando tried to stop the ants with the fighters weapons. That killed two ants. He killed the rest by playing them a tune.

Life as an M-16

I'm an M-16. My name is Blitzeen the M-16. I enjoy being an M-16 because I get front row seats at a lot of murders. I live in a cosy shed in back of Arnold Shwartzenegur's house. He is my owner. I'm all black. I shoot only the best quality gold bullets. I'm proud of my shot record. It is 2,000,000,000 and 0. I never miss a target. My favorite targets are cars, people and windows. I dont enjoy being in war because I get dropped. Once I got dropped and I chipped my black metallic paint. I was in the bod shop for a whole day. 24 hours!! My favorite murder was in 1981 I killed the president of Germany. I fight for gun's rights. I think if someone used me and killed a person and they get arrested for the kill I'd get very mad. I did the murder and the person gets arrested. We guns would like a day off the battlefield.
