The side of our house was made of aluminum siding too thick for me to nail planks into to build a ladder that would take me to the roof. It was a one story straight drop down to a fenced in gravel yard where my dog shit below, that just screamed of bloody palms and knees, the dreaded broken arm. The nearest tree had branches that reached out towards my window, like it <i>wanted</i> to help, but was too far away. <br/><br/>Regardless, my imagination kept ending all kinds of scenarios dreamt up in bed, hours after bedtime, with proposals of escape out the window.</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/tumblr/thedays/~4/rUmhGKMRygs" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/tumblr/thedays/~3/rUmhGKMRygs/272589224http://thedaysarelongandshort.com/post/272589224Fri, 20 Nov 2009 13:50:00 -0500childhoodgoonieslong photowindowhttp://thedaysarelongandshort.com/post/272589224<img src="http://22.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ktexp6EmQa1qzn9f2o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>What a shame.
