When I was five years old, I saw Star Wars The Phantom Menace in movie theatres. I was on the edge of my seat for the entire movie. I wanted to be George Lucas. I wanted to make movies like that. So, I got a bulletin board to make storyboards and a composition notebook to write the stories. I would write an episode a page. The first series I wrote was The Adventures of Nate and Jake Penguin. I filled up two composition notebooks of these stories that I've since lost. The stories were these wild adventures I would have with my neighborhood friend, Jake. We were inseparable during elementary school. We would always find an adventure when we didn't have school, sometimes with a side a trouble. We would hop on our bikes in the summer and tear up the neighborhood. Time would fly by and stand still simultaneously. The penguins came into play because we both loved penguins. I'm not sure why that was the animal we landed on. There must have been a book in the library or a cool kids show on the television (before the internet days). Whatever the case, we both loved penguins, hence the title, The Adventures of Nate and Jake Penguin.The following is my attempt to resurrect this story I had in me fifteen years ago.
