the sun goes down like a photograph
”MOM!” came out in a scream as Marcus was finally able to pull himself out of sleep. He threw his blankets off and jumped out of the top bunk of the new bed he shared with his twin sister. She stirred suddenly with the screech and the abrupt awakening, following Marcus.
It took a while to comfort both of them, but their parents were good at it.
But Marcus wouldn’t leave his dad’s side.
Not even as they made their way all the way down to the sudden and bright festivities, meant to bring everyone together who had somehow experienced all the same thing.
The young abandoned stayed mostly quiet, but followed his dad’s lead and dipped in to the lucky dip after him.
Marcus dips!
