Where’d you go?
You forgot me at the convenience store again.
I cried for you.
I wondered the aisles looking under Little Debbie and salted peanuts.
I opened the doors to the fridge and only found Sprite.
The smell of hotdogs spinning around caught my attention and I forgot I was lost.
The shadows are getting long, and I sit playing with a piece of grass.
You grab me by the arm and yell at me for not staying by your side.
Your large teeth grinding with each word, cigarette smoke pouring out, like a dragon ready to spew fire.
I am happy you came back for me.

Wow. Clear images take the reader right there. The last line brought emotional force I wasn’t expecting. Well done!
Boy! I can dig it. The devil we know .

Thank you so much, the emotional force was really there when I was 5.
Oh, Christina. Such a vivid image.
