Trip

By: Erin Rae Coleman

Once there was a girl she tripped and stumbled all her life. On the bus she would be tripped even though no one was there. She would stumble on sidewalks with no rocks in the way and one time she heard a muffled cackle “Wh-who’s there?” She asked as she was on the floor “Me” A voice whispers right next to her ear she turned around but no one’s there “Me who?” she asked the voice cackles again “It’s me” the voice said in what sounds like a hurt voice “You don’t remember?” it said trying to be serious but laughs again. She starts to get up and falls down again it’s “Me” he said emphasizing ‘me’. A body appeared under her ankle in the form of tripping her “Who are you? Why do you do this to me?” she asked confused “I don’t know?” It said cackling again “It’s just fun!” the thing replied. She gets up again, but this time she didn’t trip “Hey?” she said surprised as the thing that tripped her started to disappear “Where are you?” she started to ask but it was already gone and she never tripped again.
