Night Games_(2)

I grew up in at the edge of a fairly small town. From my house, 2 blocks to the north was marshland, 2 blocks west was fields, mostly corn. In my neighborhood there was a group of 10 of us who would play together. We played various games depending on who’s turn it was to choose. Everything from different sports, to war games, to fashion shows, but everyone’s favorite was night games. We played almost every night while we were on summer break.

The kids ranged in age from 8 to 14, I was 10 at the time. I was always one of the faster more athletic kids, but couldn’t quite keep up with the older kids in the group. We played different night games, but the most common were kick the can, and hide and seek.

I remember one summer night very vividly. We had played a few games already. It was Maria’s turn to choose the game, she chose hide and seek. When we started playing, Maria told me to follow her, she had a good place to hide. I followed her to her house, she opened her bedroom window and said “Come here, I’ll give you a boost.”

“We can’t go in, it’s out of bounds.” I said.

“We aren’t going to stay long, I just need a drink.”

“Ok but we have to hurry.”

She gave me a boost, then followed me in. She told me to sit on the bed while she went and got each of us a can of grape soda.

Maria was the oldest of our neighborhood group at 14. She was only a couple of inches taller than me, and was very pretty. She had dark hair and dark eyes, and I think she was of Russian descent. Sometimes she would tan in her yard with her big sister. Whenever I saw her out in that little bikini, I would always spy on her. She had small breasts and a nice little bubble butt. I guess you could say I had a crush on her, but it was more like an infatuation.

While we were drinking our grape soda, she pulled out a toy chainsaw that when you pulled the string then pulled the trigger, it would vibrate. I finished my can of soda, threw the can away, then sat back on the bed waiting for Maria. She put the chainsaw on my neck, and pulled the trigger.

“I just cut off your head.” She giggled.

Then took the chainsaw and put it on my leg.
