Oh, I just realized I haven't introduced myself, yet! As you probably already figured out by now, my name's Klonoa. I'm 12 years old, and... um... what else should I write? ... ... I GOT IT! I'll write about why I'm writing this book! Yeah... OK, a few weeks ago, I told my mama about some of the adventures I had, through writing, of course. I say that because I'm mute. Also, I can't walk, just so you know. But I'm OK with that, because... Hehe, I'm getting a little off track here. Let us continue! Then Mama said, " Why don't you write them in your journal. In fact, why don't you write a book about your life. You are a very special boy, and maybe you should tell the whole world about your life and your... um, adventures." I agreed with her. I have so many things I want to tell everyone, and I also haven't written a book yet... well, except in 4th grade, when we were supposed to write a short story about our favorite animal. My story was about cats. Or was it rabbits? Both? See? I have a LOT of things I want to talk about, although I can't talk.

Well, at least not here.

See, when I sleep, I travel to a different world, where I can walk and talk again. I also have an awesome time there! I get to meet new friends, see new places, and use new abilities like gliding! Gliding, people! GLIDING! And I'm a hero in that world! I've saved a TON of people, and they all love me. Not that nobody loves me in this world, it's just that, well, I think most of the people in that world (which I'm gonna call " The Dream World" from now on, because I sleep in order to get there) think of me as a hero. But here, well...

I'm just a handicapped kid.

I feel... needed in the Dream World. I don't need to repeat myself, but I will anyway: I can walk and talk again in the Dream World. Over there, I'm useful. I'm worth something.

I'm special.

Well, I don't have to be worked up because of that. And even though I can't walk or talk, I know I'm still useful, here. I'm still worth something.

I'm still special.

Besides, Mama told me, and I quote, "You are a very special boy..." and I know it's true.

So, you wanna know how I became like this, huh? Well, I guess you're gonna have to wait for the next chapter, 'cause it's bedtime, now. And you know I don't wanna miss that.

I hope you guys are enjoying my story. Please review. I would really appreciate it. PS: Once upon a time, I had the idea of writing remakes of "Spongebob Squarepants." I made a poll asking for YOUR opinion about the idea. Should I do it or not? Maybe you're not sure? Let me know in my poll, which is located at the TOP of my profile, OK? God bless!
