You’re Turning Us
A father and daughter pass the time on a stalled roller coaster.
“Well, it looks like we’re going to be here for a while,” Carter Lingdon pointed out.
“Could it be an hour, two hours?” his daughter Valerie asked half in fear, half in astonishment.
“Maybe. We should just see what the emergency crew does in order to free us from this situation,” Lingdon continued.
Their cropped afros looked to be frozen in space while the other riders' hair tumbled downward while still suspended in the sky.
“I’m thirsty, Daddy,” Valerie said.
“We’ll get all the soda and slushies they have once we’re off this thing,” he said.
“I just can’t wait.”

Breath issued from Angelica’s mouth. The weight of the baby put her into her chair. Her curves managed to say she had not been with child the whole time. There seemed to be a fantastic ideal swimming somewhere in her mind about the hazards of caring for two. She grabbed a magazine and fanned herself, knowing that she expended more energy in that effort sitting still and letting the air conditioning do the job. No, she told herself, without struggle there is no triumph. She switched on the television set. The picture looked as people had been replaced by blue aliens and she just watched her soap opera, void of extraterrestrials for this time.
