New Page!

I have added a new page to the site for comments and requests from readers.  If there is a story you see that you would like to see developed more, let me know!  If you have a story idea - something you'd like to see the apricots do or experience, this is the place!  I also accept word challenges:  give me one word (any word) and I will see if I can work it in to a story or title.  All you have to do is click the "Comments/Requests" link on the right hand side of the page and leave a comment.  I look forward to hearing from you!

Acrobatics

"What is that?"  Nora asked.
"A trapeze," answered Silas.
"A trapeze..."
"Yep."
"Are you going to swing from it?" asked Nora.
"I sure am.  Watch."  Silas grasped the bar and jumped with all his might.
"Oof!" said Avery.
"Oops..."
"I have a better idea," Avery told him.  "Why don't you swing OUT from the tree?"
"Okay!" said Silas.  He quickly turned around, once again grasped the trapeze, and jumped with all his might.
Now that Silas knows his trapeze works (and how to use it), he's going to be practicing a lot.  Avery and Nora might join in, too, now and then.  Like the old saying goes, "Three acrobats are better than one!"  Er, uh, something along those lines.
