Open Question: I’m 15 years old and I wrote this short story, tell me what you think?? ?
Benefaction
When I was six, my father went on a business trip to Hawaii. This was a pretty common occurrence considering he worked for a branch of the State Department, and yet every time he went, my sister and I would beg, plead, and bribe him to take us along. By his fourth trip, asking for a favor was a practice my sister and I had perfected to a fine art. Non-chalantly I would wander into the kitchen, casually examining the faux-marble patterns on the counter.
“We’re studying volcanoes in school…” My father gave an acknowledging grunt and continued to sort through the mail, putting junk mail in one pile and bills in another, both piles were about a centimeter tall. Sometimes my sister and I would use the height of the piles as an indicator of my fathers mood that day. If the piles were low, it would be a good day, the roof could be climbed, a cushion fort could be made. But if the piles turned to stacks, the best idea was to hole up in your room and endure till the next morning.
“You’re going to Hawaii, right?” I froze, watching my father’s back, tensed for a reaction. If he said “no” right away it was game over, bargaining and wheedling would be as useless as a stick in a firefight. However, to my relief, he nodded and added another letter to ‘junk mail’. “We read about a huge volcano there, largest in the world! Apparently it hasn’t erupted since 1984.”
“Yea!” my father gave me an interested glance, and with a chill, I could feel a long, enthusiastic, analysis of island volcanoes coming on. I quickly cut him off.
“Wouldn’t it be cool if I got to see that up close and” he raised an eyebrow. “… I mean… learn… educational?” In a panic I fumbled with my words and attempted to rethink my feeble sales pitch.
“Nice Try…” ‘Damn! I pushed too hard.’ “…but you have school to go to.” My shoulders slumped in defeat and I looked up at him with my best Bambi eyes, maybe it wasn’t too late to play the pity card before going straight to ‘vengeful tantrum’. “But, I will bring something special back for you guys…”
“Yes!”
Every time time my dad came back from one of his excursions, he would bring back some kind of token, sometimes a stuffed animal, a token from that particular country, but usually he brought back a souvenir T-shirt 3 sizes too big. These shirts made up the majority of my wardrobe, and proved to make an interesting silhouette out of a six-year-old girl walking to school, with her red lunchbox, blue sketchers, hand-me down jeans, and her University of Micronesia shirt fluttering in the breeze like some bizarre cape. Teachers would notice my unusual wardrobe and comment with sticky sweet smiles, “Oh! You sure travel a lot I see! What’s you’re favorite country so far?”
“Only been here…” I’d say, and return to my juice box, leaving the teacher with a puzzled expression. It didn’t seem odd to me, it’s just what was done, and deep down, I enjoyed the assumptions people made. I could be a wealthy jetsetter, traveling to exotic locales and adventuring with the natives, well… either that, or a homeless person picking up tourist’s castoff’s at the local salvation army, but both images seemed equally romantic to me at the time.
“That Justine…” I imagined people would whisper. “…she just got back from Tokyo, see her shirt?”
“Yea, I heard she went to meet with the emperor! You know how she was gone all last week?” And upon hearing this I would smile to myself, though the truth was decidedly less glamorous, and involved a rabid kitten.
I can remember one occurrence, my father burst into the foyer, back from an excursion to Palau, and I had run up to him, giddy with excitement.
“Did you bring something back?! Did you bring something?!” My father chuckled to himself, but my mother gave me the fiercest, most disappointed look I had seen in all my seven years. What followed was a hissed, disapproving lecture on valuing my fathers presence, and what it meant to be a child, and how I could simply not embrace that, and,
“what an ungrateful child!” I was so shamed I ran to my room and refused to come out for what must have been 3 hours. I’m not even sure what was so scarring about this incident and why it stands so clearly in my mind, but to this day, whenever I happen to recall it, that burn of shame that makes me wince and hunch down in my seat is still there. It’s that feeling you get when you remember the sixth grade talent show, when you walked out on stage only to trip over a speaker and almost crush a small child. The gasp of horror from the crowd, and the following awkward silence as the mother led her crying child out of the gym. When I finally opened the door of my room, confident that the family had forgotten my embarrassment, a small, seal beanie baby sat, waiting patiently at my feet.
Ever since that incident, I’ve possessed this horrible fear of seeming self-absorbed, a fear that is very difficult to explain. In Spanish class, we’re often asked to use adjectives to describe ours
ourselves, and where others might say, “I am funny, athletic, and smart”, I struggle to get the words out, and usually end up describing myself as, “a girl, disorganized, and nice.” And even as I say “nice” it pains me inside, not to mention the horrible feeling that I might be being interviewed for a dating ad. Needless to say, I didn’t beg my father for gifts again, even though the very next year he brought back a small octopus suspended in formaldehyde, which we displayed proudly on the mantelpiece until the jar began to leak.
Please, don’t worry about offending me, I really want to hear what you think! Thank you so much!
Open Question: Is there way to save Amtrak and the American passenger railroads? ?
I know in Europe they travel by train allot, but is there a way to keep Amtrak in business? The railroad was and still should be the building block of America. What about Promontory and the Golden Spike have events like that been tossed aside and forgotten in history and what of the famous railroaders like Casey Jones has their memory been forgotten as well?
