Setting the Stage: A "do nothin’" kind of Saturday
It was Saturday. A "do nothin’" kind of Saturday. The house was empty. My folks had gone into Vancouver. My older brother was off doing something; he was always doing something either at university or some crazy extreme sport. Nothing extreme ever happens in my life. The most dangerous thing I ever faced was trying to get the hard plastic bubble pack off my new ear buds. Carrie had asked me to go by bus with her to the Fort; it wasn’t important why she was going, it was just something to do to eat up a nothin’ kind of day.

While Carrie went down one isle of the grocery store, I sauntered down another. Pickles. All kinds of pickles: dill pickles, garlic pickles, bread and butter, sweet, pickled peppers. I don’t think I ever paid any attention to pickles before. Why would I even want to pay attention to pickles, I thought; when BANG. "What the ...!" it sounded like a truck had hit the store. My jerk reaction was to go see what happened. I should find Carrie first. That’s when everything began to shake. KEEP READING...
