The Bears

I wobbled as I tried to regain my balance on the thin metal rail.

“Careful!” Kenzie screamed, “Don’t fall off the rail!”

I stuck my arms straight out and found my center. “Why not?”

“Duh! The bears will get you!”

I turned and frowned, but quickly gave up the expression as I wobbled again. “I thought that was the cracks in the pavement?”

“I’m being creative, come on, move it.”

I managed to keep my balance all the way to the bridge. I usually fell first, but this time it was a tie.

I turned around with a satisfied grin on my face, but Kenzie shook her head.

“Nope. Today we’re going to the other side! Then we’ll be safe from the bears.”

I stared at her, lost my balance and fell off the rail.

“Ha! I win! The bears got you!”

I held my hands up. “You win. Let’s go.”

She shook her head and kept going. “No way, the bears ain’t getting me.”

“Kenzie, come on, dad will have a fit if he finds out. It’s too dangerous.”

She turned and stuck her tongue out at me as she moved out over the open air.

I couldn’t go home, not after that, so now I live with the bears on the track, waiting for her to come back.
