This is another story I wrote about toy soldiers (any guesses about one of my favourite hobbies? 
). Enjoy! It's a bit long, so I'll post the next part tomorrow, as it doesn't really warrant two full entries.
Toy soldier
“Fire!” 7-year-old Fredrick yelled to his toy solders.
He made gun noises as he imagined his soldiers bravely firing at the enemy. Fredrick liked to play with his toy foot soldiers, horsemen and cannons. However, what Fredrick didn’t know was that his soldiers were alive!
Jimmy was one of Fredrick’s Blue foot soldiers. Jimmy liked to talk with his best friend, Toby, when Fredrick wasn’t looking. They talked about toys and soldiers and had pretend battles in their wooden minds. The thing they loved to do the most was fight with other soldiers at night when Fredrick was asleep. However, they couldn’t do that with Fredrick around. Since Jimmy and the other soldiers couldn’t do that they stood to attention as Fredrick charged them over the table. As they were toys, they had to try to make their child happy. And that’s just what they did. Fredrick had heaps of fun and that’s what toys are for. Finally Fredrick went to bed. The soldiers waited for an hour and then gave a cheer. The night had begun.
Toby, Jimmy and 10 other soldiers walked about aimlessly, wondering what was going to happen next.
Boom! A cannon roared.
Boof! The cannon shell landed near Jimmy. Everyone jumped. Excited, Jimmy took control.
“Charge!” Jimmy bellowed.

Wow, your a really good writer!
Have you ever thought of making a book of short stories or something?
I'm a writer, too.
I'm making a book in hopes of getting it published (And for the fun of writing a book).
