Sorry for the lateness... Tons of stuff got in my way, but I'm back... With bad news:
This is the last chapter I made.
This may be the last one I will ever have made, unless I get help. If there is anyone willing enough to help me, I would be very thankful. If you wish to help, please send an e-mail to SomeCrazyGuy(UnderScore)HM64(At)Yahoo(dot)com with the subject title of "Fanfiction Author". You will recieve a lot of credit for helping me.
Details? Basically, you will be given details on what I want, then you will write up a chapter to those specifications... After this, we will exchange the chapter and edit whatever we find is needed to be edited until we agree that it should remain like that... The reason I need help is because I can't do any writing (Besides a little poetry on the side, but that doesn't take long) with all the stuff I have to do at school and home. If all I needed to do is edit the details, however, I would be able to write up more chapters... This is what I am doing for the second season of my other fanfic, and it is working pretty well.
So if you are willing to help, and have the time and talent, please e-mail me... Thank you very much, even if you aren't going to e-mail me. nn'
Sorry that I pushed all of that on you all, I didn't want to do it, but I had to... uu
--- Chapter 2 - Part 1 - Anger of a Fool ---
A smile on his face, the young man lies on his bed, asleep, a good sleep as the comforting smell of the trees and the forest surround his home. The fresh-growing grass, the peaceful tranquility, the calm, flowing stream, the wind in your hair, the friendly people… There's life everywhere. An aura of happiness wafts about the room, his dog lying near, the room is in complete silence…
A rooster crows and in Jacks surprise he jumps up and screams, the dog, remembering what had happened the day before, runs as fast as he can away from the bed as Jack falls from it once again, landing on the hard ground, Jack stays there and tries to regain his composure…
"Hey! Stop it Hiro! Get away!"
The dog, in excitement starts licking Jacks face to get him up, the dog finally stop after a minute of this and sits in front of Jack, who is now trying in vain to get all to the slobber off his face.
"Ugh!" Jack exclaims as he get up from the ground, "That damned rooster… What time is it anyway?" Jack, in great surprise, sees that it is again 6:00... "I'm not gonna ask how they hit the time right on the nose like that…"
Grunting, the young man get up from the ground and puts on the clothes that look so much like what he wore the day before, "I hope nobody thinks I'm not bathing…" And with that passing word, he puts on his blue hat and walks outside…
"Oh Goddess!" Jack looks out into the field and sees what seems to be even more weeds than before, "Ah, I'd better get started then…" Jack takes out some stick with a curved blade, "What the hell is this for?" Jack puts that away and replaces it with something similar… But it was thicker and the blade was at the end this time. "Huh…" Jack sees a word scratched on the side of the tool: "Hoe"
"I guess that is the name of the tool… I'll just call it that for now, a 'hoe'… Looks good for weeds." Jack then walks up to a weed in the field. "Okay, so if I hold it this way…" Jack faces the blade so it will swing to hit the ground, "…and I hit the weed right where it grows out… I should be able to cut it out!" Jack stands directly over the weed and holds the hoe in front of himself, "Okay, so if I bring it down like this, it should hit the weed to cut it right out of the ground!" Jack then lets his arms swing the hoe directly down to the weed below himself. "Yes, it might actually work!" Jack suddenly feels a jolt of pain as the hoe just nicks a few blades on the weed and keeps going, Jack leans forward to avoid the hoe from hitting him anywhere, but lets down his guard as the heavy end of the hoe hits him right in the back of the leg.
"AHHH!!!" Jack screams as he drops down to the ground in pain, "Goddess damn it!" Jack rolls up one of his pant legs to see what damage had been done… "Huh, just a large bruise? But damn it hurts so much! I'll quit with this… I'll do what I do know…" Jack then, still in pain, pulls out an Ax.
"If nothing else, I know that an Ax is for cutti-"
A voice out of view interrupts, "Yeah, I'd say you don't know much else."
"Who is it?! Come over here and say that to my face!" Jack yells, obviously irked by the statement.
Now walking into the field, a young woman near his own age came, a tomboyish girl with over-alls and a yellow shirt, and Jack is starting to notice the smell of animals on her.
"I didn't mean any hard feelings by that, but maybe you should rethink owning a farm when you don't know even the most basic aspects of farming?"
"What do you mean? I know a lot about farming!"
"Yes, and this is why you were just using a hoe to try to cut out a weed…"
Jacks face blushing from embarrassment, "Wh-Why shouldn't I?! I don't see why not!"
"Using the tools for purposes they were not meant for will not only dull out the blades faster, but also, the durability will become an issue."
"Who asked you?!"
"Besides the fact that you did ask me, I was asked by my father to see how you were doing with your farm work, I also want to help you, and it seems to me that you need it."
"Well I don't! Thank you, but I really don't need any help, I can do it!"
"Are you su-"
"Yes, I'm sure."
"But you seem to be hur-"
"It's not a problem, I don't need any help, if my grandfather could do this, I can!"
"Okay, but if you DO need help later, we are right next door at the Green Ranch. Good Bye!" Somewhat disappointed, she sadly walks away.
"Wait!" Jack yells for the girl "What's your name?"
"Ann!" She yells across the field.
"I'll try to see you later then!" Jack yells out to the girl as she walks off.
Jack looks out to see if anyone is looking. Knowing nobody is watching, he gets up and hobbles off to a nearby stump… "Oh, for the love of…" Jack is stopped by some large rocks in his way, "Well, I know something else, a hammer is for smashing! I know more than they think!" Now pulling out a hammer from his trusty rucksack, he walks up to the rock, "You will soon be stone… dust… Uh… Yeah!" Jack lifts the hammer over his head, but overzealous as he was to break the rock, he swung the heavy hammer too fast over his head and ended up bringing it behind himself, "Wahhh!" Jack yelps as he falls into a patch of weeds. "Ow, my back!" Jack exclaims as he sits up, "This is going to be harder than I thought…" Now getting up from the patch of weeds, "Eeee!!!" He yelps as he quickly pulls his hand up from the weeds, "Damn thorned weeds! Oww!!!" He quickly pushes himself up to reveal many thorns in Jacks bottom, as he frustratedly growls while pulling out the painful thorns.
"What in the world did I get myself into?" He speaks as he finally pulls out the final thorn.
Jack, now ready for another try, picks up the hammer and raises it high, and slams it against the rock, "Not even a crack…" Jack frustratedly says as he readies himself for another go. "AHH!!!" Jack yells as he brings the hammer far over his head and slams it down on the rock, a small crack, though barely visible, appears, "Better than nothing I suppose…" Jack raises his hammer once more and tries to slam his hammer right in the center of the crack, but because he tried to be so precise, he was too distracted to hit the rock very hard, but the crack still got larger, "I have a feeling this will take a while…"
3:00 PM… Numerous Swings later
Jack has now seemingly gone insane as he randomly hits at the rock at random places, as fast as he can… "Bwahaha!!! I'll kill you! Ha ha ha, DIE!!!" Jack screams as he sends a fury of whacks at the large stone. "AND TAKE THIS!!!!!" Jack screams in a blind fury fueled by the frustration… fueled by his fury… He raises his hammer up high and swings it down with a force greater than anything seen before… Yet… The horrendous crash heard throughout the village was unable to break the stone… Tears streaming from his eyes, Jack says in disbelief, "I-It is impossible… It can't be done… Why must this torture go o-"
"H- Hello? Is anybody here?" A voice speaks from the front of the farm.
Jack snaps away from his insane rage quickly as he turns to find… "It's the flower girl?" In confusion, the young man rushes to the young woman.
"Oh, it is good to see you are out in the field, I now trust even more that you will be able to bring this farm to its former glory… Is there something wrong?" The girls face now turns from cheer to worry as she walks to the young man, who remains speechless. She places her hand on his head, "WE NEED TO GET YOU HELP!!!" She yells as she takes her hand from his forehead, Jack starts to mumble incoherently, then suddenly… Darkness…
Voices fading, light disappearing… "Somebody help!!!… He… out… … Put him on the bed, quickly!!!… … … …"
