Three Summers…
A couple days after my encounter with the dead animal carcass, I woke up not feeling well. By the middle of the day, I was throwing up and just looked horrible. My mom helped me get dressed and then took me to the doctor’s office. After the doctor looked me over, he recommended that I…

Save The Arm…
It was a beautiful sunny morning. I woke up happy and excited. The girl with the long brown hair was having her birthday party at her house and it was a swimming party. I recall the air outside that morning was warming up quickly. It was a mid-summer day in the desert. She wanted me…

Two Girls And Me…
Hoover Dam was a big experience for me as a young boy. But I was happy to leave the dam because it was scary. We began our journey to Las Vegas up the Nevada side of the canyon wall and that was also scary. Once we crested the canyon wall, we then began our drive…
