The disgusting place could burn down for all he cared, he was on his way to bigger and better things! After 3 years of living in that run down dump, he had finally purchased his own house and was moving in! The large box strained Jim's arms but luckily he had his new car where, with a wave of his foot under the back bumper, the trunk popped open! Placing the heavy box inside he let out a hefty sigh and grinned. The final piece was now in his chair and as he closed the trunk, he felt like he was closing the old chapter of his life and starting a new one. (above is 133 words) Good amount of a single (1) paragraph count: 1,000 characters, 8 lines in the text box or 200 words. -Line -Line -Line -Line -Line -Line -Line -Line I write in Microsoft Word and write with Times Roman and 10 point font.
