LJ Idol Week 10: Icarus

[scriblesnbraile]

My dad has a large hill beside his house. The first time it snowed while we were out there, my brother and I immediately saw it as the perfect sledding hill, except for one small problem. It dead-ended in some pretty thick woods. Of course, being around twelve and six, respectively, we didn’t at first see this as a problem. We’d just stop the sleds

I remember sliding once with a friend double-decker. We went airborne and landed so hard, I had the wind knocked out of me. It was so scary till I could breathe again.

[scriblesnbraile]

Oh, wow. I bet that was scary.

I can't decide if you're crazy or brave to keep trying :) A bit of both, maybe?!

[scriblesnbraile]

Lol. Sometimes I can't decide either.

This was great (and really makes me want to go sledding) :-D

[scriblesnbraile]

Thanks. Writing it kind of made me want to go sledding, too.

I like how this emphasizes the getting up part of the story, especially in that there were three separate instances. Nice piece.

[scriblesnbraile]

Thank you.
