  1. These were great and I thought that all of them could actually be books. I like how you interpreted the Waitress and how 'he never has the courage to talk to her' because he probably doesn't want her to find out that her dad is just some hobo. Good job.

  2. You're a great writer, and I agree with Dikembe all of these could be books. You did a great job of sticking to the song while making it enjoyable to read.
