I went to my area in my backyard where I used to sit when I was little. Between my chestnut tree and my bushes, beside the old picnic table with the old mower underneath. My junglegym was still set up in my yard and the old apple tree was still standing. It was spring, the army worms were forming on the branches of the tree. Then I was sitting under my apple tree, hiding from my dad, hiding from the world. I saw my old best friends when they were little dancing around my swingset. I saw my dad pull into the driveway in his big SLH tractor trailor, I ran from under my tree into his waiting arms. I had forgotten what he looked like, he smelled of disel and sweat for he had been driving all day and night. This was all back in a time when I was trully happy. Since then everything I have puicturesd has dissapeared, my swingset got tore down because I grew out of it, my apple and chestnut tree got cute down, the rose bush that smelled so beautiful beside my chestnut tree has been replanted by herbs the big SLH truck will never return, my father was left. Everything I once found special or either i loved dearly are gone. Even my friends that were in that dream are gone, we have grown up and seperated ways and not kept in touch.
The ground beneath the tree was hard and pointy and you couldn't sit in one place for too many long for fear of the army worms landing on you or the grass leaving stains on your shorts.
By the end everything dissapeared, slwoly still clutching onto my father not wanting him to leave, tears streaming down my face, standing behind the door, now age 13 waving at his white truck, the last time I ever saw him, turning the ring with my birthstone that he gave me, 2 sizes too small, never wanting to remember this moment again.
this is the same submition as before i just wanted to add the picture,
