"Super 8"

by Jennifer Bryan

Our mother buys us both painted fans in the gift shop and we look around for our father but we give up and find him waiting out by the car and I can tell by my mother's face that this might be the end of our vacation.  We might turn around and collect our things from the Super 8 and drive all night to Pittsburgh but she doesn't say anything in the car and he doesn't say anything either and I feel like a perfectly fun day is ruined but then Amber waves her fan at me and says we're going to eat seafood for dinner.
