Jack Clodfelter is a ten-year-old boy who was born in Greensboro, NC in 2004. His dreams are to become a vet, to help save sharks, and to do some writing in between. He also loves to read. He is part of the Greensboro Youth Chorus. In his story, "The Never-ending Story (of the Purple Doughnut)," Jack made his font get smaller and smaller to show how the story goes on and on. If it was all one size, the story would be endless (literally). Jack wants to go to either Duke or NC State for college. And for high school, he wants to go to Northern.
“Once upon a time, a purple doughnut jumped onto the table. Suddenly a giant hand came down from the heavens and seized the doughnut.”
Once upon a time, a purple doughnut jumped onto the table. Suddenly a giant hand came down from the heavens and seized the doughnut.
“Please, don’t eat me,” said the doughnut, covering its eyes.
“How will you stop me?” said the giant in a gruff, gravelly voice.
“If I tell you a story, will you let me go?”
“If you don’t, I’ll smash your crust to make my cake, and if you do tell me a story, I’ll smash your crust to make my cake anyway.”
He’ll kill me if I do, and he’ll kill me if I don’t, the doughnut thought. There’s only one way to get out of this.
The doughnut cleared his throat and began to speak.
