He continued to type, amazed at how easy writing this story was. The boy could not stop writing. He looked at the word count and saw the number 248 staring right back at him. He was not even halfway yet. Then he heard the call of his mother saying time for bed. He continued writing the piece, ignoring her. He had to make up for the time he had lost thinking about a topic to write. Finally, he finished. The word count now read498. Perfect, he thought, just under the word limit.

This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem—inability to read. In the library, I found my way into the Children39。s Room.
