Deidre: A Short Story

I had talked my mom into getting on the Hades 360 roller coaster, she avoided me of course, but my heart was pounding with adrenaline. My palms sweaty and my heart pounding we stepped up to our seat, we buckled up and before we knew it we were off. Slowly going up the hill my hair blowing in the wind , and of course my mom screaming. We went done the first hill, my stomach dropped because of laughter. The ride was over in a blink of an eye. My mom was laughing by the time it was over, my mom has fun and that was all that mattered to

It was the summer of ’95 and one day I woke up and felt really sick. I lived alone ever since the passing of my dear husband, John, since I lived alone I needed someone to take care of me just in case something really horrible went wrong! Well anyway, I had called my daughter that morning and she sent little red riding hood on an adventure to get to my house to spend the night. About 45 minutes later I heard a loud knock on the door, being the curious

I woke up to my mother lightly rubbing my back while sweetly telling me to wake up. We loaded up the rental car and started on our way. About twenty minutes into the two-day car ride I jumped up and asked, “Are we there yet?” with complete seriousness. “Be quiet and go to sleep!” my

It was a warm sunny summer afternoon, we were driving down a busy road when all of a suten my sister yelled,

I had lacrosse practice on the hottest day of summer. The best day was going to jump off a cliff and die. Practice was done and I was hungry for food. I got in my mom’s car and asked my mom to go somewhere and get some food. We went to Taco Bell. I finished and was ready to go home and get a shower. We were going down the road and suddenly my mom got a phone call from my aunt. As soon as my mom started to talk to my aunt she started to cry and break down. She

The parents were fed up with our wild animal like behavior and told us to play downstairs in the basement. We all went down the basement and started to playing tag. Therefore, we had to be careful playing because the basement was not finished at the time and had metal studs where the walls are supposed to go and the concrete floors that are now hardwood. When everybody went upstairs because they were as tired as an olympic runner after a meet my Dad came down to fix a light bulb. He used a ladder to fix it so he could reach and when he was done he went upstairs so I was the only one in the basement. I wanted to be like my Dad so I decided to climb the ladder. I was at the top when my foot slipped off the ladder. Somehow I was able to turn my body around and grab onto a pipe to stop myself from falling. I felt the pipe starting to brake so I decided to swing on to the metal stud next to me because I was sure that was going to hold me. When my

I had to empty the grass bags from the back of the mower in the ditch in the back yard. I pulled the lawn mower into the shed and turned it off. I went inside and my mom instantly handed me 10 dollars. She said she was very happy to have someone do that for her. I then took a really cold shower and went into my cold basement and fell asleep for the

I went through the cemetery because it is said the demons who burned the church down found home in the dead bodies that are six feet under. I went with my 16 year old sister which was a mistake. I started walking we heard noise in the trees, I just assumed it was a fox or raccoon or something, it scared the hell out of my sister and she latched to my arm and was so close I

My mom called us downstairs so we could eat breakfast. We both sat down at the table in silence.Then my mom said “I have a surprise for both of you.” some what interested we looked up and she was standing there with two blankets like the one we ripped before, we both sprung up from our seats and ran to her to get the blankets.

When I woke up a walk down stairs and I was wondering where my mom was because we are supposed to go to 6 flags today. I was so excited I couldn't wait. Then I ran up to my mom's room and there she is sleeping in her bed. I yelled WAKE UP we are supposed to go to 6 flags today. She said oh I forgot then we both jumped in the shower before we left. Then we were on our way to 6 flags. We left at 8:00am so she said we would be there at 10:00am. ZOOM!!! the car went by us in a flash. We barely saw it. Then my mom gave me a large box when we stopped at kwik trip. She said I couldn't open it till tomorrow. Then we got back on the road. I was listening to the music for most of the ride. Then there it was my favorite song was on. I told my mom to crank it up.

Early morning towards the end of June last year, it was family rodeo back home where my mom grew up at. We had always gone back to that town and that rodeo since i was a yee young lad, around 5 or 6. We used to go see my grandma, but she died when i was 10. Anyways, it was my mother, my brothers, sister and her family, me and my girlfriend. Well, the car we were suppose to drive 5 hours north with was very cramped for all of us, so i asked my girlfriend if we could borrow her new car she just bought the day before. She “talked” to her mom and her mom said “yes,” so her and I drove in that car while my brother and mom and their friend drove the other.

It was Tuesday when she came knocking at Liz’s door. Her Dad told her he was expecting a visitor, his girlfriend's daughter, for some bonding time since they had been seeing each other a lot lately and things were getting pretty serious. Liz expected a nice girl with a sundress on, probably with a high ponytail, and maybe on her feet about a one inch heel in the form of a sandal. Liz figured she probably went to some private school that costs more than her whole house. Instead, she opened the door to Beth Dodson.

The next day when my parents returned home from work, they called me into the living room. This scared me a little, they only did this when something bad was happening. When I walked into the living room, my father was sitting in a chair and my mother was sitting on our couch. When

I was at home and I was watching tv, Then my mom walked in with a cage! I heard the door open as quiet as possible. I was so happy I could not believe it. I had my

It was a rainy afternoon, and I was running on the treadmill. The house was hot - no- humid, so I was gross and sweaty. I had finished 15 minutes done, then the phone rang…. I stopped the machine, then took off my earbuds. My mother grabbed it, and nods and questions the caller, scratching the back
