I sit in the first seat in the first car and scream as we go up and down and around. We eat fried bread with powdered sugar and spicy nachos. We float down the river ride, sitting side by side, slouched against each other. We feel the cool air near the water. Then scream with the mortals at the ending drop.
Life is good.
We leave and go where my thoughts take me. I remember pain. I remember when the men came and took my father outside. I see it again. I am there again.
