One time

It was very early morning the kind of early where your a little confused about your reason for being up so early.It was fairly cold and damp.I lit a cheap lantern that I fueled with charcoal starter fluid,it was more available than kerosene and it seemed to work.I was young at the time so it seamed safe also but I may have been a walking time bomb.That would have been difficult to explain to mother,if I blew up she merely would have said ,what are you stupid?As if she would have known any better,ha.Walking through the morning fog in the woods at a young age quite alone,rather frightening and with the shadows created from a flickering lantern and a creative mind ,rather exciting,not comforting ,just hmm.Going to check the traps,I felt it was a test of will ,and character.I guess I passed.I was not always this responsible,I am ,thank god not even close to perfect,I just have a good day from time to time .This was one of them I guess thats why I recall that morning specific.Then the chores are done,and soon up came the sun and then there was no fear ,no thrill no sensation of lonely exhilaration .Exit the secret lonely world of the woods back to home.
