STORY STARTER
A young child goes to sleep in his bed and wakes up in his favourite story.
Continue the story. What elements of storytelling need to be paid particular attention to when the protagonist is a young child?
Fuck being a kid
If i was a kid, if i was a kid
I’d wish i was somewhere i weren’t
Id pray everyday to wake up in a stupid place
to be belittled by dragons instead of brothers
somewhere i could carry a sword and have a chance
somewhere where somebody other than me believed i could do anything
oh alice take me back there
bring me with you next time
i can be a good asset too
my teacher said i’m brave
and my mom thinks i’m stubborn
just like you i like to get my way
we can get out of there together
or i could stay there forever
peter pan says growing up is no fun
but how else can i get to never land if i can’t even drive a car yet
peter pan, peter pan, how much is a ticket to fly with you hand in hand
i’m sure i might have enough quarters
in the change jar downstairs no
nobody will notice when they’re gone
nobody will notice when i’m gone
