little jade sat in the grass, shaded by the old oak tree off to his side. he was playing with a dirty rat he had found in to basement. he had tricked into thinking it smelled cheese. he thought at it and made it start to flip and jump to his commands. its black beady eyes twittered in panic. eventually he tired of the rat so he decided to make eat itself. the rat violently chewed and ripped at its tail. small bits of fleah and fur lay around the defensless creature. not long after he noticed mr. thompson riding his bicycle, in his hands he held a worn cardboard box filled with groceries he figured. jade tried to listen to his thoughts, but mr. thompson was mumbling.. so his thoughts were all jumbled togeather. poeple often did that around him, so he liked listening to animals thoughts instead. mr. thompson rode up the driveway. he swung his leg off of the bicycle and began to stiff leggegly walk up to the door. mumbling louder and louder. jade returned his sight to the rat who was laying liflessly in the grass. it had eaten halfway through its bell and has died of pain. jade thought the rat into a grave in the cornfield. his father allways told him to bury the things he killed.
"well good afternoon mr. thompson, oh are thoes the groceries i asked you to bring? thank you so much!" aunt ariel's over exaderated voice echoed. mr. thompson stopped mumbling long enough so he could answer.
"oh, yes they are...g-good weather were having is'nt it ariel?"he replied wearily. suddenly returnig to his consistant mumbling.
"fine weather it is! are you still comming to television night?" she asked.
"yes.. but the mrs. wont be making it, she is still... sick."
"but i must be on my way! good evening ariel!" he shouted as he ran to his bicycle. jade listened into mr. thompsons thoughts to were he could pick up something.
FAST. he wanted to leave. jade liked mr. thompson so he decided to help him. suddenly mr. thompson was peddaling so fast down the skinny strip of road tha it seemed as though he had superhuman powers. jade watched him dissapear over the verizon line, a large cloud of dust following. he could hear mr. thompsons wails echoing from a block away. jade stood and smiled with excitement. jade loved television. when it was television night the whole neighborhooh would come over and watch television with his parents, and mrs. odonnel would play piano for hours. jade liked piano. with excitement he stood up and brushed off leaves from his legs. the basement. he thought, lets go to the basement. jade thought hmself there and sat in a corner. he noticed a big black spider off to the left of his legs. jade began to lisen to its thoughts.. it was hungry, so jade thought at all of the nats in the basement and made them fly into the spiders web. jade liked helping animal and bugs, but theyre was something bad about why the spider liked the nats. but he just ignored it. another rat.
