After undertaking the mammoth task of tidying my room, I found a time capsule. Well, a notebook from 1997. In contains the thoughts and scrawlings of an 11 year old Benjamin Jack Browne. Scary, no? Not only does it contain the start of a personal diary (ended after 3 days due to author boredom) but also the opening chapter to my James Bond novel. It's gripping stuff. I will now type verbatim what is in the notebook.
I'm still awaiting the call to be the next Bond author. Also yes, the spelling mistakes have been left uncorrected. Everyone makes mistoikes.

"Killing Time"

Chapter 1: Symbolic Warning
The rain steadily beat down on the windows at MI6 HQ. Bond looked up from his desk and surveyed the night sky outside. He stood up and slowly walked towards the window, seeing his reflection mimicing his actions. James Bond looked over the River Thames to the busy roads. Cars in a queue, headlights blazing and horns blaring occupied the road. Bond hated the road in London but most of all he hated being stuck at the office, sat at his computer for hours on end.
As he focussed on his reflection, he could see something else reflected too. A little red light was flashing behind him. He spun round to see his office phone's light flash on and off. He walked to his desk and looked at the label next to the light. In small, blue ink it read "Moneypenny". "Odd" thought Bond and picked up the handset. "Bond here" he said. "James?" Moneypenny said softly. "James, something's happened" she said anxiuosly. "What?" said Bond. "Come to M's office" she said. Bond hung up.
Bond navigated the corridors quickly, dodging many people. When he arrived, Moneypenny said "Go right in". Bond opened the door. First thing he noticed was the atmosphere was tense. "Sit down, 007" M said. "008 is dead" she said."How?" Bond asked sadly. "He died of asthphixa...(Author's note: I believe I was trying to spell "Asphyxiation" but I seem to have given up halfway through) she said. "Strangled". "He was in Tokyo on the Yakuza mission- local authorities found the body half an hour ago-he had this carved into his chest" she handed Bond a small piece of card with a Japanese symbol on it. "Do you know what it means, 007?" Bond muttered "Death". "It's as we feared 007, the Reapers are back" she said."
