Forums · A little girl from long ago
I remember when I was a really small child, about 6 or 7, I went up to the country with my parents to visit some relatives. Me and my cousins were at this house I hadn't been to before and I started to play in the front yard.
I was kind of bored, nobody was playing and there was nothing to do so I went to the drive way to play behind the truck parked there. It was kind of neat because the drive way was made all out of little stones I learned much later was river stones. I was picking through them and I started to imagine this other little girl was playing with me. She had blond hair down to her shoulders that curled. She seemed sad and I was pretending to share the prettiest stones with her but we were behind the truck and it seemed like a bad place. I was imagining how she wasn't around because that truck backed up into her playing like this and she died. So I started feeling a little sad. I went to the front door to get the other kids to come out and play with me.
I told them I was playing in the driveway and there were some pretty rocks there but they didn't want to come outside. They were really stressed that I didn't tell their dad I was in the driveway. They were never allowed to play there because a little girl had died there when a truck backed up into her. Someone hadn't seen her there and ran over her.
I didn't want to say anything but I asked if she had blond hair and she did. The mother came up and then we started talking about ghosts and how they believed that little girl was still around as a presence and the other kids sometimes thought that they could see her. Then their mom said that now she knew for sure and believed her kids, so I asked her if we could play in the driveway now and she let us. I didn't tell any of them I thought the little girl was sad, I didn't want to hurt thier feelings.
I almost forgot all about this but I was rumaging around today doing allot of different things and just kind of remembered.
