Same as before if you like this story, please tell me. A harsh critique can be helpful too, as long as it's sincere. Also, remember, that I'm not really trying to be an author. And you out of work amateur literature critics that don't even want to tell me your name, just get out of here. Your comment won't even be considered.
"Oh God dammit. Son of a bitch," I yelled out.
"Wha, what, what happened?" Looking over his shoulder, my best friend Trent asked.
"Oh I just smashed my finger, that's all. It's nothing, it'll be fine," I responded.
We were just putting the finishing touches up on the fort we were building near the back end of my parents three-quarter acre lot.
The fort had been the greatest accomplishment that two eight-year-old guys could ever achieve, we thought. We were so beaming with pride.
We both rushed inside.
Making plans to decorate the place. Trent said, "Hey my mom and dad have got this old sofa just sitting in the garage. I'm sure they'll let us have it! The also got, this old wooden box like thing that they put it the end of the couch and put a lamp on top of it. We could use it and store comic books in it."
"And I could put on the walls some real cool posters. Like one's with hot cars and real cool motorcycles," I exclaimed, my voice sounding excited.
"And we ain't gunna allow any girls in here."
"THIS PLACE IS GOING TO BE SO KICK ASS," I was practically shouting out.
At dinner, later that night, I was telling my parents. "Me and Trent just finished our fort and were going to have couches and furniture in there and all kinds of cool stuff."
"Oh that's sounds so nice, sweetie. I'm just going to have to see it," my mother announced.
"OH NO YOU'RE NOT! You and Julie both can't come in there. There ain't no girls allowed," I screamed out.
"Oh okay Mr. he-man," pulling back and acting all sarcastically my mother said.
My sister Julie who was just a year younger than me and hung around me in Trent some but- it wasn't like she done everything with us, made it quite clear. "Well, I ain't interested in your dumb old fort anyway."
The next day Trent and I were lugging an old beat up leather sofa into our fort. After it was placed up against the back wall we headed back with a wheelbarrow to get the end table like fixture.
After it was placed on the end of the sofa, Trent exhaled heavily and said, "Man am I tired! Let's do the rest of this tomorrow."He flopped down on the sofa.
I agreed and collapsed right next to him.
The next day we were all refreshed and raring to go. The first thing, before I even ate breakfast, I grabbed an old chair out of the garage and some posters and flew out there as fast as I could. Trent came lugging in a cardboard box full of comic books him and I had collected.
It seemed every time I would see a cool new poster I'd just have to buy it for the fort. Every time a new comic book would come out Trent would buy two copies of it, one for me and one for him. My parents were getting rid of an old sofa so naturally I grabbed onto it for the fort. Man was this fort ever well-stocked.
For the next few years, to me and Trent, this was the greatest place in the world. We would spend hours in here just lounging around reading comic books, drooling at the pictures of the cool cars, and even sometimes spending the night out there.
After a while the posters got changed from cool cars and motorcycles to one's of hot chicks in bathing suits. And the comic books got changed into well, let's say a different type of magazine.
As the years went by Trent moved away. I lost all interest in the fort. Besides, "I was going to college and that's where my attention should be," I figured.
