Title Yet To Be Discovered (Part 6) Comments

Rating: 5.0

It didn't take long at all while pushing the cart to realize the incredible amount of racket it was creating. These things were meant for nice, even, smooth surfaces. Not old beat up pavement. The noise was distracting, and it made me nervous. If there was anybody within earshot Emily and I were near certain to arouse there curiosity.
That was another thing. I hadn't done a very good job of stressing to Emily how important it was to be quiet during the trip back to the school. She was full of excitement and questions about who she would meet when we got there. I reminded her several times that we had to stay silent until we got home, then I could answer any question she wanted. She'd stay quiet for 15, some times as much as 30 seconds, then she'd revert back to a question machine. I'd begun to get a little frustrated. Not only at the inability to suppress her curiosity, but also at the slow pace I was moving at and the far-carrying sound my cart was producing with each turn of its wheels. An idea struck me then.

Jesus Mike. I just woke up. So busy feeling sorry for my meager support I forgot all about part six. Wonderfully engrossing. As you know I have a four year old grand daughter and I want to tell you you know your four year olds. You have the knack of a story teller. You have learned to please your own sense of adventure. getting better all the time.

The patience it takes to type this out on your phone is appreciated. I am invested in this story and hope that you are even more so, that installments will keep coming. I love it! On another note; I would be interested in reading what you might write about your subterranean adventure today. A 40 foot, belly crawl in dirt and dust, the reasons why you took this on, and thoughts had while going where few would dare to tread.

I find myself very invested in it. Likely for similar reasons to your own. Mostly, I want to know what happens next! I write these things spontaneously even if I have a mild idea of where the story is leading to. I don't think I can stop writing it until I've dreamt up the conclusion. As far as my underground adventure, it probably would be worth a few dozen lines. I'll throw it in my notes and the next time I've got an itch to write, maybe I'll take a stab at it.
