The Summer Day (Zapfic)

There was a new prompt released in the Freewriters community, and for this Zapfic the word to inspire our story is 'Sausage.'

Here's A Link To The Prompt Post If You Want To Check It Out.

The day was warm, and everyone was out on the road. Fun was created from thin air, but from the activities, a thirst grew.

"John, come here and show your nan your new outfit," he heard his mother call once inside.

"What have you done to yourself? You silly sausage!"

This prompt was a bit of a tough one for me, it took a while to think of something for it. While I was going to go with a dinner party story, I decided to do this one instead. I haven't heard someone being called a silly sausage in a while, so to me, it was kind of funny and hopefully, it is acceptable for this week's Zapfic.

I remember something like this happening years ago. On my street growing up there was a bunch of us that used to hang out, and those days were so much fun, out playing from the morning to night and sometimes we'd hang out in the garden for as long as we could, talking and sometimes keeping an eye out for UFOs and freaking out when we saw something weird in the sky. Most of the time it was a passing satellite, but there were a few strange things we couldn't explain.

I remember having this vivid dream about a year ago, and I was back outside my mum's house on the doorstep where a few of the kids from the road would hang out. In the dream, as I looked into the sky I was terrified, there were just colours and madness, everything from bright floating signs to spirals. It was such a weird dream, but it was just like being a kid again.

We'd also tell ghost stories and at night we'd hear something and we'd get all freaked out thinking it was the banshee.

It was a lot of fun back then. The road was quiet and pretty small and at the top of it were fields, until construction started on a housing estate. One day we went exploring around the site and were messing around in cement, as we got back to our road, me and my sister noticed that we were covered in dirt and concrete. Everyone else with us was irritated by it, but I remember being so scared because we had just been out with our mum and got some new shoes, which were destroyed and we went to one of the other kid's houses and their mum helped clean the stuff off our shoes.

Luckily, it helped and wasn't too noticeable when we went back home.
