A Fresh Start...Or So They Think.

Creature by John Saul
(Pages 23-52)

In my last post the Tanner family had just moved to Silverdale. In the next couple of chapters the town is described. It is a small town with allmost nobody in sight. It seems very unexpested that a bad thing will happenin a small town where the only thing keeping it on the map is the recent arivall of TarrenTech and the high school football team that is unusually good.Mark catches up with a cousin he hasnt seen in a while. Once scrawny and weak, his cousin is now towering with a muscular build. Back when they were younger they had a close friendship but now that the two have nothing left in common, Mark feels uncomfortable around him. The book stats to reveal the school that is a mysterious place but is too perfect for the Tanners to relize. Mark is suprised that the jocks have pretty much any privalge needed. They can leave early to train for the football team, and dont get it counted against them in their grades. It all just seems too perfect and i dont feel it can last long.

Have you ever had everything go your way one day and felt like it wasn't going to stay that way? Do you get jelouse of people that seem to have the perfect life?

I've have felt that way before, like everything is flowing right then all of a sudden everything goes down hill from there, I think every one has felt that way. For instance when you feel your doing good in school but really you are'nt, or even losing a loved one things are never perfect or never the same as they were before.

I actually do not feel that way. I believe in fate if something happens i dont look at other people whose lives are goin better and covet what they have. Your life will be better at some point and there life will be worse at some point. Everything will pan out.
