To start the blog off the first couple of stories will be semi-autobiographical with some dramatization, so any readers can start to know who am at least a little bit. The first one is about about an event that happened when I was around six and is titled, The Terrifying Spinning Cirlce. Read, enjoy, comment.
Merry-go-round, three words combined that invoke fellings of joy, fun and nauseating dizziness in most children. Yet those same words have caused me fear, hatred, and blazing pain since I was a child of six. No really I’m not joking. Trust me I’m telling the truth.
All so right now I’m guessing your thinking what kind of whinny little pansy is this to be a scared of merry-go-rounds? One that has had a very bad go with one is who! You see it all started on a summer day when I was six. It was a great summer day with frequent cool breezes, making it great enough to lead my mom into believing we should go to the park, yea what a terrific wonderful idea mom.
So I hopped into my mom’s old beat up blue car with my brother and sister, and off to Wyandotte County Park we went. When we arrived at the park, we drove around for little while, looking for the best playground we could find. Finally we decided on a fairly unremarkable one, with the saving grace of a rusted old cirlce painted many different colors many different times with old metal hand rails sticking up. The saving grace was a merry-go-round. Well at least we thought that to be a saving grace.

First Post - About
The Shorts of StMilli will be comprised of short stories by me, StMilli. I'll be trying to post a new short story at least a couple days out of every week. When I do all stories will be open for comment, let me know what you think, rip into my work, praise it, damn it, shrug at it, or acclaim it a masterpiece, give to it what you think it deserves. (hopefully a lot of the praise and claim, not so much the danming)
