Down the Slippery Slope
A new friend tempts me to join her in mischief.21 total reviews

Those tales loosely based on true stories and get out of hand in a hurry, but at least when they start getting too far out of hand, you can just say, oh, that's just part of a loose part, not some of the truth. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

If I admitted that all of it was true, I'm afraid it would pretty much destroy my image when taken along with the story about the doll and my admission of being devious. Thanks for the review.

LOL! If it's all true, please don't tell me. :-)

Great story, Beth. It goes to show how easily a young girl, especially one desperate for friends, can get led down the garden path. I'm glad she was deterred before she got too far. Good luck in the contest.

What a good story for kids! It's told in an engaging and conversational style which helps us keep the child's perspective. It's so easy to be lured on to the wrong path given bad influences! Hope you do well in the contest!

Thank you Helen. The part I wrote about Sullivan Hollow was all true. It's on internet and she really was a part of the family.

That's so cool that you used real info. It felt real as I read it!
Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
What an exciting time in your childhood, but not in the nicest way! But it was something that remained in your memory box. I'm glad you were shown the way back into being a good girl, just think what could have happened if you'd stayed friends. We all like to mix with friends who make our normal lives more exciting, but it's not always a good thing. I enjoyed this story of yours, Beth. Good luck in the contest. :) Sandra xxx

Thank you Sandra. I really appreciate the review and comments. I think if my mother known more of what I was telling, the friendship would had ended sooner. LOL

Comment from davisr (Rhonda)
A very cute story that seems quite believable. Your characters are well developed and relatable. It's a sort of coming of age story as your main character starts seeing and doing things that take her out of her sheltered child-like life.
Best of luck in the contest,
Rhonda

Thanks Elizabeth, There isn't too much fiction here. You can look Sullivan Hollow up on the net. The things Wild Bill and his family did the traveling men are true. Jo Ann was a wild one. LOL Thanks for pointing our my spags.

I figured you had to downplay the real stuff for the contest.

As of today, I have only read privileges. Though I can no longer post or review, I'll be keeping up with correspondence--if I don't catch you first--message me and I'll respond!

Thanks for reading it. It was pretty much true. You can read about Sullivan Hollow in the net. LOL

It's a good thing that family moved back to where they were from. This girl might have been taken down a path that would ruin her life forever. Very good story that held my attention throughout.

I think you would inclined not to be led down the slippery slope to crime. But I think this is one of the few fictional stories I've seen you write Beth, but incredibly well done, I must admit I never got myself into trouble when I was but there were a few kids that engaged in shoplifting, well done, good plot and characters, blessings Roy
Typo : Sneaked from her dad('s) supply.

Thank you Roy, When you are impressed with a new friend and you are young it is sometimes a temptation. The story isn't total fiction.

Comment from Alcreator Litt Dear
Rightly thought, innovated, explored and expressed your family story in tune with the contest prompt, yes, you speak about fate, lot and event something you had little control over, a person becomes your new friend who tempts you to join her in mischief, the old house they moved from was never occupied again and she left you with memories of a time and you got punishment; well said, well done; post more.

I enjoyed reading your writing prompt entry. I am glad you recovered from this small jaunt in the wrong direction. I am not sure if writing prompts are voted on or not, but good luck.
Joe was back the next afternoon with a few pears and some fresh dug peanuts. & Sure enough, they showed up the next day. (the following afternoon & the following day)

Thank you Barbara. I really appreciate the review. You are having a hard time getting in through my head to start using following instead of next. I'm trying. I fixed it.
