Story of Torey Campbell, Part 1. Beginning through First Plot Point. Work in progress. |
Scene 01 Rev E My name is Jonathan. I'm what you call a 'spirit.' I started out as a fictional seagull in an inspirational book. Then the boss decided I should get out from between the book covers and help out when a need for inspiration comes up. I've been doing that ever since. You and I have met before. Do you remember your last revelation, epiphany, bright idea, light bulb, inspiration, vision, ah-ha moment, great idea in the shower? That was me. I do a lot of that. My favorite activity is giving understanding. When the curtain parts and you see the true meaning of something, like you've never seen it before, that's me pecking at your brain or your heart. However, I don't do miracles. When the boss decides something needs to be fixed, he does the fixing himself. Most of the time I push here or nudge there on my own. Occasionally, the boss tells me to "Butt Out," and once in a while he gives me a direct assignment to "Butt In." I'm on one of those "Butt In" assignments right now – to make one young person aware of the five wisdoms. The boss decided this young person is worthy of a little help. My job: “light the fuse.” I've decided to do it by telling the story of Torey Campbell. Just for fun, I gave myself a walk-on part. So, I'll see you there. ### Word Count: 235 Readability Consensus (based on 8 readability formulas) Grade Level: 5 Reading Level: easy to read. Reader's Age: 8–9 yrs. old (Fourth and Fifth graders) |
