Ferris Wheel

By Tessa Dean May 2024

As Tonya looked over the side of the car on the Ferris Wheel, she noticed her husband arrive at the carnival. She felt her heart rate accelerate as she realized she might run into him before she and Tom could exit the carnival. She hoped he would head to the children’s rides section first, away from them.

He probably assumed that she and the kids were here for the night. He must have left work early tonight and decided to surprise them since they weren’t home right now. She hadn’t told him that she left the kids with her sister.

Baking

By Tessa Dean May 2024

Jeanie had her seven-year-old twin girls, Sandy and Mandy, perched on stools at the counter where the baking supplies were laid out. Jeanie recently took a cake decorating class and promised the girls they would bake and decorate a birthday cake. Unfortunately, they couldn’t agree on a cake. They each had their own favorites. Jeanie told them ordering a cake at the local bakery would be easier She was fed up with the fighting. 

The girls stopped bickering and said they wanted a princess cake. Jeanie said that was fine, and that they could each choose their favorite dress color.

The Grave Site

By Tessa Dean May 2024

I noticed a lit-up steeple off in the distance. “There,” I shouted to Ralph. “I see a steeple up ahead.”

I hoped to be able to find my grandparents’ graves for Mom. “I will take a few pictures to let Mom see where her parents were buried.”

“Marion, it is almost dark out, and I don’t want to be in a graveyard in the dark. Can’t this wait until tomorrow?”

“She is really upset about being unable to attend her parents’ funeral.”

“Fine, but let’s hurry!”

They pulled into the parking lot, quickly found the marked graves, and snapped pictures.

Climb

By Tessa Dean May 2024

John, with heart pounding and sweat trickling down his forehead, attempted to climb the tree. However, the lower branches, too flimsy to hold his weight, betrayed him each time he put his foot on and pulled himself up. He would hit the ground, thankful for its softness, except for the roots that were showing through the ground. 

The stronger branches were out of his reach. He would need a ladder to hold his weight and reach the more solid branches above his head. He looked around, but his dad’s shed was locked, and he didn’t have a key to it.
