The Typist
Prolauge-
Inside the shack at the end of the street lived the Costani family. They were Italian American and weren't exactly what you would call rich. Infact as of then they were stricken with poverty. Ever since his fathers business was shut down and his mother had gotten pregant with a little baby girl they had virtualy nothing. Their son Jonnie was a sensational writer. he was in my class and I remember him well. He was always shy and liked to keep to himself, unless he was extremly comfortable with someone. His stories were always so vivid and beautiful but hard to read. He had horrible chicken scratch and no computer or anything. Thats why every one of his stories had to be down graded to C's or C+'s. But at his 15th birthday he recived something that would change his life forever.
"Wow what a great birthday," he said half heartidly.
"Well you still have 1 present left," his father said and gestured to under the table.
The present was in a box and wrapped in a brown paper bag. It was heavy as Jonnie lifted it from the floor. Carfully he tore a corner of the paper. Then another corner. Soon the paper was flying everywhere. Then, it emerdged. On the box it read Model 5044 Type Writer.
"Thanks mom and dad! Now I can actually write great stories!" he shouted with spirit and glee in his voice.
Little did Jonnie know, this would change his lfe, permenenlty......
