No one likes it when their family life changes. This is particularly hard for the Radtke's. A troublesome girl named Tracey enters their lives and the children are an endless journey to make sure this girl doesn't get into any further trouble or cause their parents to lose their fostering license. These are snippets from my second novella in the series, "Oh Tracey."
Last week
All of Santa’s reindeer were there too, I checked by counting them with my pointer finger. Yup all there. I kicked one of the the cardboard reindeer. “Tracey, you behind there?” The cardboard teetered and fell to the ground. No Tracey.
Zion poked his head through a cardboard stand-up like dufus' before him who would have done the same. I took a picture of him with my two hands. He smiled and did another pose and then another, “Work it for the camera,” I said.
This week
A man carrying three boxes stacked above his head walked past us.
"We must be in a stockroom, " I said to Zion.
"Yeah, that man almost saw us too," We made our way towards the exit.
I got a page from Mom on my pager. I texted her and said we were at the mall. She wrote back and said as long as we were there, we should meet her at the craft fair. Zion said he’d go but stop off at Shinders, a hobby store, first. Mom made a habit of taking us every year to the craft fair, being that her friend, Connie, was a craft maker. Connie made figures out of wood and decorated them. She had big glasses that got darker when the sun came out.
