    Charlie K was a single celled organism who had grown on the side of a test tube in an alchemist’s laboratory. His life was a simple one, and Charlie was not happy with it at all.
    One day the Sultan summoned the famous alchemist Yakuul Kon-Zizzi.
    “Zizzi You have spent fifty years and a ton of gold trying to create the elixer of life. Either you will produce it today or you will be executed.”
    Zizzi had no fear because back at the lab, the elixer was complete, waiting to be tested.
    What the alchemist did not take into account was the will of the single celled organism that would be later known as Charlie k.
    The three microns Charlie had to cross to reach the elixer seemed like hundreds of miles.
    Later that evening when the sultan was removing the head of the alchemist, a young boy only one day old felt no regret that the alchemist had to die, because with the help of the philosopher’s stone, Charlie k was born.

    I love to write. One of my life goals is to write a novel, but right now work, church, and family take up most of my spare time. This site helps me scratch that writing itch that pops up occasionally.

    My policy is quid pro quo. If you follow me, I will follow you. It’s as simple as that! I’m all about building the community.

    Want to write something with me? Send me a note! I’m up for pretty much anything.

    I’m just a guy that likes to write. Mainly science fiction and a little light fantasy. I also like to play video games and spend time with my awesome family.

    I’m currently working on a 365 challenge! I will attempt to post one new Ficly story every day of the year 2010, starting with January 1st. I’ll be posting my stories to Twitter using the hashtag #Ficly365. Join me! I’d love the company.

    “The last page doesn’t necessarily mean the end.”

    Right Now: I’m a high-schooler trying to figure out what comes next. I am a girl with a notebook, a violin and a pair of ballet shoes trying to understand the world.

    Someday: I will be the girl I know I can be. I will learn to take risks. I will learn to be someone who can take control, and fly free.

    Welcome to my World: I like to look at the sky. Clouds are cool. Imagination games rock. If you’ve never illegally climbed on construction sites, you’re missing out on crucial parts of life. If there are no construction areas, climb a fire escape.
    I have lots of wishes and dreams for me and my life. I don’t know if any of them will come true, and that’s scary.

    The best thing we can do
    is make wherever we’re lost in
    look as much like home
    as we can.

    It is a cliche that most cliches are true, but then like most cliches, that cliche is untrue.
