Jamie Is Missing
“Bryce, where is Jamie?” Joanne questioned.
“I don’t know, he was here a minute ago and I looked everywhere for him.”
“Bryce, he is only four years old and you were suppose to take care of him while I got my prescription filled,” she said frantically.
“Mom, you know how quick he can disappear and I asked everyone in here if they had seen him, but no one has!”
“Excuse me, Mrs. Fisher, Jamie was covered with cereal boxes, but he is not hurt.”
“He said he was just trying to fix the row of boxes that were crooked when they fell on him.”

Reflections Of Life's Journey 
Four-year-olds are definitely quick. I’m glad the mystery was solved in a messy but un-creepy way.

Thank you for reading and commenting. It’s always wonderful to hear that a tragic event has not really happened.

Nothing is more terrifying to a mother than a missing child. The mere thought of that at any age takes my breath away. Here in our state right now there is an all out hunt for a college student that vanished last weekend. The boyfriend appears suspect. Dear lord! I am so glad your story ended much more gently, despite the fact that there was certainly a jumble in the process!

Thank you! Yes, there are so many things like this that happen in this day and time and not all of it turns out well. I think it is important to keep reminding people that bad things happen and it’s necessary to be alert and stay as safe as possible…especially when children are depending on you for their safety.

It’s difficult to take care of our younger siblings and more when they are too young. Beautiful storyline with the peaceful ending. Enjoyed it.

Yes, it could have turned out very different. She probably won’t let him out of her sight from now on.

Let’s hope they were cardboard ones! Even I can remember how much fun they were to play in.

This reminded me of the terrible panic you feel when your child is missing! Thank goodness only the cereal boxes fell on him!

True! It takes very little time for a child to slip out of your sight and than the panic kicks in immediately!

Poor Jamie. To curious and to fumbly to fix the boxes. A bit clumsy I guess. At least they found him. Nice write Jessie.

Thank you! That sort of happened to one of my children, but I was standing by them at the time. They are so quick to get themselves in difficult situations.
