I used to spend summers at my cousins. I loved my uncles, but their kids were children of the corn quality. Always wanting to run through the woods. Funny, both of them are decorated marines and one is a preacher. I have nothing but love and respect. I see why you beat me here. My story was weak. This is good.

    I laughed out loud when you wrote"children of the corn quality".Sometimes, words pop up that I haven't thought of in years. Thanks so much.

Thank you for sharing this contest entry with us. This definitely qualifies as a worst fear. Good luck with the contest.

my Grandma who stayed in a bed in (because of the 'my' grandma has a lower case 'g' and so does the other family names that have 'my' in front of them.)

wrapped taffy. She sent me upstairs (why the huge space here?)

Wow. That was a very disturbing read. The way you told it led me to believe there was something more nefarious going on than just a picnic or fishing. It must have been a very frightening time for a young girl to be forced to accompany someone she was uncomfortable. I feel terrible that you were forced to do something you didn't want to do.

It's painful being a child sometimes, when adults think they know what you want, or what's best for you. The thoughts of sewing doll clothes was making me happy. My mother sewed, and I loved it when she used scrap fabric for my dolls.

Your worst fear came true, but you wrote beautifully about it. Best wishes in the contest.

I really enjoyed reading this story, I admire the innocence of the girl who talks about the exciting things she does during her summer break. With the first paragraph of the story I was already captivated by the mystery of the uncle despite being a nice man. Despite not giving too much away which was skill-fully done it beckons the question of what happens during this road trip with her uncle that she doesn't have the desire to go despite been forced to go. I would really love to know if there's a part two! I love the descriptive imagery within this story!!

This is an absolutely heart wrenching story. I am so sorry for what you endured, and so proud of you for standing up for yourself. Thank you for sharing such a personal story; I think if people really understood how common it is, maybe something more would be done. Much respect to you.

The author's ability to convey the protagonist's inner turmoil and longing for autonomy resonates deeply, drawing readers into the story's emotional core. With evocative prose and nuanced characterizations, this narrative offers a poignant exploration of family dynamics and the resilience of the human spirit.

Well done.
