What If Pencils Took Over The World

this was found by Sarah in Brenden's pile of school papers today -





about the author:
Brenden Laurence Wiley's early work went largely unnoticed, until in October 2008, his short story about malicious writing utensils catapulted him to the forefront of American fiction writing, garnering numerous awards and the prestigious Junioraudio Prize for the Most Mentions of the Act of Screaming in Terror. Mr Wiley is a graduate of the esteemed Calvary Pre-School of South Pasadena, going on to earn his Doctorate of Playground at the revered Wasatch School for Kindergarden Kids. B.L.Wiley lives in Provo, Utah with his parents, 2 younger siblings, his bike and his lego collection.

I love the conversion to calling him B.L. Wiley. It's only appropriate really, if he's going to be a world class author. That was an awsome piece of fiction. I'll never look at a pencil the same.

You must be so proud. I think he gets his writing still from his mom. All that doom and gloom sounds just like Sarah.
