The Adventure Kids and The Abandoned Mine

By P.W. Lawrence

Matt and Devin are enjoying a lazy summer between their 7th and 8th grades when a new girl moves into town.

Trying to impress her, Devin tells Kelly that they have a gang known as "The Adventure Kids", which Matt denies since the name sounds stupid to him.

In showing the new girl around town they decide to explore an abandoned mine at the edge of town. Could anything possibly go wrong with such a flawless plan?

About The Author

1

It was a lazy sunny day, and Matt and Devin were lying on the ground in Carter’s Field, looking at the sky. Devin had lost all of his video game privileges for the summer after barely passing the seventh grade; and his best friend Matt didn’t have any good video games at his house since his parents thought that they were bad for you.

It sure sucks that your Mom doesn’t have a job, Matt said to Devin. We could totally play games all day instead of riding bikes and stuff.

Yeah, I know. I think she hid the controllers anyway. Devin said sadly.

And so they lay in the field, both happy in the thought that in years to come nobody would care if you got an A or a D in seventh grade anyway, and that they would both be in the same homeroom, for the fourth year in a row.

It was getting close to noon, and the sun was moving uncomfortably into their vision. Matt and Devin decided it was time to head into town to see if anything interesting was happening.

Downtown was in intersection of two roads, each with businesses running for about three blocks. A freight train ran through town about every hour, but didn’t stop. If you followed one of the main roads out of town there was a highway two or three miles north with several shopping centers lining either side.

It was a typical small town. The kind that Matt thought every night about never returning to whenever he got into college in a few years. Except if he wanted to catch up with Devin, who would probably end up working at a convenience store or something.

We should go get some chili dogs and then glue some pennies to the train tracks! Devin said. He always enjoyed a meal of chili dogs from the corner gas station, and had been trying to get Matt to join him
