xxSNIPERHOTTIExx

A brief story for you all in one of my favourite genres, books aimed at boys 11-15 who don’t like reading and are about the armed forces or snipers.


One dark night.


One man shrouded in the darkness of his camouflaged gear. An unseen assassin in a night of inky blackness. In the lagoon below the President of Chile’s holiday house, his balaclavaed head broke the surface of the water. His wescolt 4563 model followed quickly after, water resistant to 200 metres. He spied the president and his mistress with his canon infrared 436 chinchillakilla night-vision goggles.


He fired one shot. It was true. The entry point was in the back of the Presidents head, the exit wound was through his nose then into the next entry wound of the women’s hip.


But our hero didn’t see this. He was already away miles down river. The only thing that would connect him to this crime was the particular bullets he used, Barrel nosed 382’s but he would be in international waters long before the secret police knew anything had happened.

Tweens make more than just dance videos on youtube

So I think it's hilarious that some kid in Britain has just had a kid at the age of 13 (he looks more like 9) no doubt the crafty work of popular mainstream music. I found it twice as funny as both the mother and father look like people I know, both from my school, and both are definite candidates for school shootings in my mind. Maybe that's just me.

I still remember at the vulnerable age of 12 I was trading pokemon cards and playing Duke Nuke 'Em on windows 98, but this young chap wanted to score some 'tang and start a family. The cultural barrier between New Zealand and Britain is larger than I thought. AND, for the record, some British T.V personality has claimed he looks like Alfie Patten (pre-teen father), I'm not sure why that's something worthy of claiming but he did it anyway.
His thoughts must have been something like:
"hoooooly shit, I look like that pre-tween parent from the news, sweet!"
Anyhow, tween parents = lulz.
