WEEK 12 SHORT STORY 101 WORDS

AMAZING

        I have never slept in a tent. My son thinks it will be amazing to sleep under the starry sky.  I worry it will be cold, that my back will ache and the tent will have dirt in it.  My son is chirping as we pitch the tent, he carefully spreads his sleeping bag, puts his pajamas in the tent pockets.  He dangles a flashlight from the tent ceiling, the light glows like a candle in the dark. At night, the lake air in July is freezing. Wind whistles through the northern woods  like a wolf's cry.  I lay looking up at the heavens,  the stars are amazing.
