A Short Story Of My Birthday

The incident took place three days after my birthday. I have received an assortment of condolences in my lifetime, but this one definitively trounced its comrades.

It was my birthday and I was having the time of my life at my party. It just kept getting better as the day went on. I was turning six and as I was opening all of my presents I just couldn't take the bright smile off my face. I was extremely thankful for everything and after I thanked all my family members for coming and for all the presents, my grandma said,

To this day, I am still haunted by the fact that I was on all fours cleaning the lunch room walls on my tenth birthday. It was August 30th, 2009 and my boyfriend and I were sitting next to each other in the lunchroom. It was my birthday, and I was turning ten years old. It was a very important birthday because I was finally at double digits. All that mattered that day was me. I wore a bright pink sundress and I felt amazing. It started off as a great day.

Opening the front door, I was overwhelmed with a wave of raised voices, and arguments coming from my parents. Neither of them had heard me come in, and I was okay with that; it had been an awful day at school, and the last thing I needed was to have another clash with them. I snuck into my room, passing the wreck that was our house. Dad’s boxes were scattered everywhere, some packed, and others not so much. Night had already come, so skipped dinner and just headed straight for my pillow. Snuggling under the covers I ponder, “What had happened to the perfect life our family had?” For a year our house had been filled with anger and resentment, and it didn’t seem like it was leaving anytime soon. Our lives had been turned upside down, and the worst thing was that through this whole thing, my parents seemed to have forgotten about me in their bickering over who got the blender. As I drifted off into a slumber, there tense voices could be heard through the paper thin walls, would it ever end? (24) As I sat there staring aimlessly up at the ceiling, I saw a dim glow out of the corner of my eye. Immediately, my head shot up, investigating this strange light. Taking a double take, I looked back at my closet, thinking this couldn’t be happening; my closet door was emitting a yellow glow. Slowly, I walked over, being cautious of everything the world had ever put into my mind about mysterious things happening to closets at night. (4) I whipped around the door and to

“Lindsey get your butt down here right now! Before Luke eats all the waffles!” my mom yells from the bottom of the stairs.

I woke up early Saturday morning excited yet very nervous. It was July twenty-second which meant the day I found out if I could really ride. My boyfriend Zach and a couple of buddies from work decided that a trip to Haspin was the perfect way to celebrate Josh’s twenty-first birthday. It was supposed to be a big group that would go but ended up just being five us.

It was a dark, and gloomy day, and I was walking to the bus stop to head to his geometry class. It was the day before my birthday. I was so excited, I just wanted it to be here. All of his aunts, grandparents, and uncle’s were coming. There was just one problem, I didn’t know what he wanted to do for his birthday; I knew that all of his family would asked me what I wanted for his birthday. I was sad that I had no friends that could make it, but he new that his family all loved him. Oh I’m here. Just wait you will here what the other kids have to say about me being here.

It’s June 28th 2017 in Austin Texas, and it’s my birthday. My family and I gather around the dinner table in our cellar.

Casey’s one wish disappeared and she felt broken for many months, but miracles can happen, right?

It was August twenty-third and I was turning eleven years old. I had what I was going to do for my birthday planned out for the longest time, because I was so excited. I had asked my grandparents if I could reserve our family cabin for the evening if no one else was going to use it. My grandparent’s told me that no one else was going to be down there and that my friends and I could go down there. When I woke up that morning, I got all of my clothes ready, which was a teal tank top and black shorts, for later on that evening. The whole day I had been snapchatting Kennedy, Nick, and Erik about how excited I was for that night to come. My mom made some of her chocolate chip cookies. My dad had gotten the trailer hooked up to the truck to put the four-wheelers on so we could bring them down to the cabin with us. It felt like the day was going by so slow and I wanted to make it go by faster so I watched movies all afternoon. My mom and dad were getting annoyed because I kept asking when we were going to leave. When the time finally came to pick up my friends I was so excited. I ran and got into the truck. We picked up Kennedy first, then Nick, and lastly, Erik. On the way down to the cabin we listened to “pumped up kicks” and some other old pop songs. My friends had never seen the cabin so when we first got there I gave them a tour of the whole place. They told me they thought it was really cool on the inside. We walked into the kitchen and ate some of the chocolate chip

Mom replied, " Well, me and your dad was talking about what we were going to do for your birthday."

This morning, I woke up to my mommy, daddy, and brother, Jacob, pounding on my door screaming, “Surprise.” Was it my sixth birthday? Had I honestly not remembered today was my day to shine? No, I knew it was not my birthday. So, what could my parents possibly be surprising me for?

As my curly-wavy long brown hair lands back on my back from grabbing the nice warm, airy croissant with the sweet smell of warmth and honey butter hits my nose. I knew my brother was not as smart as he seems.

People in the wonderful United States of American look forward to celebrating their birthday. Some people may wonder what did happen on their special day throughout history. I have wondered about if any significant events that could have happened on my birthday, and through my research, I have discovered several notable events that happened on February 2nd.
