Creative Writing: Goodbye Doodle
“No! Doodle wake up!”
*I fell to the ground, my legs as weak as a flower. The feeling of the wet earth on my knees sent a sharp shiver up my spine
“Doodle, no! There’s so much we haven’t done! What about our house of leaves in Old Woman Swamp, or gathering dog tongues and selling them to our neighbors?”
The only thing that answered was the cruel, nefarious rain.
“Goodbye Doodle,” I staggered. “Thank you for teaching me how to love. I will never forget you.”
**My eyes became hammering waterfalls, and the last thing I saw before I closed my eyes were the vivid red stains peppering my baby brother’s shirt.

    I grabbed the final bale off the last hay rack of the day and threw it over the side, towards where my brothers were standing. I peel the wet plaid shirt off my arms and back. I flip it around till I find a dry spot on the shirt, which I then use to wipe the sweat from my face. I pull it away and look at it. It was stained with a long, hot, day’s…

    It was summer during the roughest times, so we mostly camped and made our way south along the Niagara River. A lot of folks went and joined the picket lines at the border and got themselves arrested. Others got booted from their homes once the crews started working, and almost overnight, Hamilton and St. Catharines stopped being safe. The properties along the border had all been bought and vacated, so we passed through without much problem and made camp in a rich-looking building called the Oban Inn. We set out our gear and found cans in some of the cupboards, and we watched the crews at their work across the river. The construction noise made it tough to sleep, and one of the guys found a bottle of something…
