For school assignments, I always wrote a lot of what could charitably called “speculative fiction” (or, less charitably, “nonsense”). Here’s a very short example, most likely from elementary school, although it’s hard to tell because I didn’t bother to date it, or even to put my name on it:
The astute reader may recall a story arc from the classic comic strip “Calvin and Hobbes” in which Calvin’s bicycle goes all Christine and tries to kill him. I can only assume that Calvin’s father bought the bike from this story after I put it up for sale. All I can say is, caveat emptor.

What great things you’re finding – I’m envious. I’d love to have assignments from that age left around, somewhere.

I LOVE that the teacher just wrote ‘Jim’ at the top: he knew exactly which kid wrote the story! You are pretty memorable 🙂 !

Parents should hang on to their kids’ early work. Just think how much an early Mozart manuscript would be worth today!

Sounds like that bike may have come in handy, you shouldn’t have sold it. 😉

BTW – My bike didn’t have a brain, but I did have some invisible friends. And, at certain times, usually after I drink tequila shooters, I see them still.
Got to go … time to hide the tequila bottle!

This sounds like Dennis’s adventures, except with better spelling.

What an imagination you had/have. I wonder if it was influenced by Knight Rider?

I remember that bike chasing Miss Marple.
