Very Short Stories & Drabbles Part 2

3/14/25 Drabble: The Waterslide

The little boy was terrified of the waterslide, but his parents assured him he was brave enough. They even said they would wait at the bottom for him to finish, and their promise was enough to assuage his fears. When it was the boy's turn to go, the parents raced to the bottom of the windy tube and eagerly waited for their son to arrive. But he never did. Minutes went by, and the frantic park workers checked every camera, but there was no sign of the boy. He went down the enclosed water slide and was never seen again.
