If you've read my other story " The day it all changed" then you will know who john is. This is a Short story1
In the past year i have had my aunt lisa, my uncle john, my uncle mikey, and my great grandmother die. After my uncle john died my dad had a heartattack. he had surgery and we we're scared because a couple years back he had surgery and had a heartattack during it we were afraid he would die. the funny part is that year he went into surgery because he had a heartattack. Luckly he made it out. 4 months after the surgery 2 days after christmas my uncle mikey died. i skipped my enitre christmas vacation and went and stayed with my Aunt Pammy(Mikey's Wife). While i was staying with Pammy we got a call from my Uncle Gordan's wife. Gorden had gotten into an accident but he was ok.The thing i think is ironic is that while gordan was not harmed the truck was totaled ironically it was Uncle John's truck. Now exactly 4 months after gordan's accident my great grandmother and aunt lisa died. we have yet to find out who is having the accident. Every morning my mom wakes up stands up and steps sideways and says "Im out of the Domino line"2
Author notes

First of all I would like to say I'm sorry you lost that many familymembers the last year, but I'm also glad your dad survived the surgery
Funny how you put some humor into these serious matters, made it light to read
Good luck in this contest!

I enjoyd the quote, it was very good! You mixed in a little humor to this very sad chain of events, which I hope means that you are healing a bit from all your loss. Great write!
Love,

well said
It sounds like you are caught in a very bad loop. I do hope you and your mom are able to step safely from under the dominoes. An interesting way of putting things.
thanks,

Your mother sounds a bit jaded or cynical but I cant blame her, after reading this, all I could think was"DAMN!" it reminded me of the Kennedy's, god bless you and your family.

that's cool but creepy all the same. I hope you do "Stay out of the Domino Line" because I would hate to loose a great author to "that mystery called death".

I don't agree that your mother would kill you if she knew you were quoting her. It is really an antidote rather than a short story, but it is an interesting way to deal with some very personal pain, you know, it is someitmes the only way to deal with such sadness, your mom is a smart person obviously.

LOL! You put comedy into this, even though it was probably serious... Well good luck staying out of the domino line. lol, keep writing

yes she probably would kill me.

And I quote
This seems more like an amusing anecdote than a story, and if your mother knew you were quoting her on Allpoetry she'd kill you.
