Turk And The Gobblers. (Short Story) - 9/23/2024 1:00:00 AM
I just came across this fun and heartwarming story about a kid named Turk and his crew, "The Gobblers." It's a refreshing read that takes you right back to your own backyard football games as a kid. Turk’s love for football, and the camaraderie he shares with his friends, is infectious. You can really feel the energy and excitement of every game they play, and it's clear these kids are passionate about the sport.
One thing that stood out to me was how much they learn from watching professional NFL games. Their dedication to studying plays and perfecting their skills mirrors the passion many of us share for the sport. It’s a great reminder of how football can bring friends together, no matter your age.
If you're like Turk and love to follow every NFL moment, especially the live games, you might want to check out Streaming NFL Games for easy ways to watch live NFL streams https://nfl.footybite.to/ and stay connected to the action, no matter where you are. It's the perfect way to keep up with the pros while practicing your moves in the backyard!
Overall, this is a great, relatable read for young football fans. It captures the fun and thrill of the game in a way that makes you want to grab a ball and head to the field.

Karen:
I never responded to your kind comment on my article about illegal immigration. I've been writing for nearly 50 years and am nearly 72. I would guess that you might be considerably younger. Here is my email for your convenience:
(r u s t y n o w l i n 1 9 5 1 . y a h o o. com) I, like you, am a conservative independent, but greatly favor Donald Trump for reelection in 2024. Most of my published writing is on the Internet and in newspapers. I have written over 400 essays and articles, some of which are on EzineArticles.com. I grew-up in Tyler, Texas and entered the USMC there in 1971, went to Vietnam for six months, and ended 6 years in 1977. My LinkedIn resume is under my pen name, Norton R. Nowlin, on the Internet.
Please get back in contact with me. I would enjoy reading some of your "Tornado" writing and getting to know you better. I hope you respond by email.

Ugly Girl: Primrose's Story. (Short Story) - 11/30/2015 1:02:58 AM
Empowerment comes from belief in ourselves. If Primrose cannot cultivate herself, someone close to her needs to keep reaffirming what she can't see about herself so she can look past the mirror.

Better Late Than Never. ... (Short Story) - 7/17/2015 12:35:22 AM
In this short story you've managed to realistically capture how a brother would feel under the circumstances: guilt and resentment.

Creative. Would like to see him dance in a video. Could be a YouTube sensation if he wasn't fiction. Going to Texas A&M sounds like he's got his head on straight.
