In Progress

Chapter 1

My name is James Smith and this is my story. It all started three years ago when I met him. He came into my life with no explanation, no story; he just appeared. It was the middle of GCSE year, I was the highest achieving student in the whole school. I had all the teachers wrapped around my little finger, willing to do anything for their prized pupil. My life was near enough perfect, I had my whole life planned out; I wanted to go to Oxford and become a doctor. I wanted to be the best, I wanted to be able to overcome all barriers. I wanted all of this... but I couldn't help but feel that it wouldn't be enough, that I wouldn't feel fulfilled by being buttoned up and sticking to the rules. I wanted what everyone wants. I wanted something you could only see in films or read in books, I wanted adventure, real adventure with no compromises. I wanted to run, to run and to never look back. I wanted to be so scared I would never want to look back; I wanted to be so excited about the future I would never want to look back. I didn't want to think, I just wanted to do. He told me all o that was possible he told me that he had been doing it all his life. He told me that he could show me real adventure. His name was "The Doctor"
