The Day Jase Tried to Murder Me

It was June17th, 1994. The day was an average Iowa summer day, 88 degrees and muggy. The four of us took a stroll down to the creek about a mile away from our country home...dun dun dun!!! Little did Joel, Jake, or I know Jase was maliciously scheming to take down the strongest, smartest, fastest, "Gaston" if you will, of the family.

It all started as a simple game of skipping stones. We all took turns seeing who could get the most skips out of a solitary stone. Harmlessly we all took turns hurling smooth, flat rocks at the waters surface. As Joel crept down stream looking for better stones Jase realized his opportunity.

He swiftly picked up a large stone and launched it in the direction of the creek. Coincidently, I happened to be bending over to pick up the perfect skipping stone between Jase and the creek. Jase timed it so the 13.643 lb. stone would strike me directly in the back of my head as I stood up.

Jase, however, failed to calculate the sheer muscle I have in my head...yes I bled but it was a small cut and it didn't hurt. Jake and I took off across the fields. We made it back to the house in three minutes.

We had to protect mom.

Did Jaron actually write this or did someone else sign in as him? If it was actually Jaron, welcome to the Internet! This is called a blog. It's short for weblog.
