The Trip by John W. Howell. © 2023

“Hey, kids, look what’s on the screen.”

“What is that, daddy?”

“It’s the Taj Mahal. That’s what.”

“Wow, it looks like it’s real.”

“That’s cause it’s 3D.”

“How come we don’t have any glasses. The last time we saw 3D, we had to wear glasses.”

“I think they have made some big improvements. Since then.”

“Oh.”

“So finish your burgers, and we will go to Tomorrow Land.”

“Tomorrow Land? What’s that, dad?”

“Oh, you’ll love it. It is in the future. There are flying cars and everything.”

“Now, George. Let’s let them finish their lunch before they get worked up.”

“You are so right, dear. But, man, isn’t this trip great?”

“It is, sweetheart. Of a lifetime.”

“I wish we could stay forever.”

“Well, we have another two days.”

“That’s true. It will be fun, and then we have to head home.”

“This is the best Valentine’s Day ever.”

“Yes. Yes, it is.”

“Just one thing.”

“What’s that, dearest?”

“I don’t remember locking the front door.”

  5. I always feel like I forgot something when I leave the house!!
    I thought the guy was looking at the Taj Mahal and thinking, “I have to walk all that way just to get crushed into another mob of people.”

  8. I hope they can enjoy the rest of their trip after that revelation!

    My sister has an app that will lock her doors (among other things). I refuse to give technology that much access to my life.

    Nice story, John.

  13. Ah well, no use worrying about it now… Might as well just go on with the rest of the trip and enjoy it. What will be, will be – with fingers crossed that all is well!
    Happy Valentine’s Day to you and your love, John.

  14. Fortunately, Mrs. Chess and I tend to double-check each other before that door gets locked, John. It’s worked so far, probably because one time several years back we went away for four days and left the heat on when an unexpected (by us) warm front rolled into town. When we returned to home sweet home, it definitely was a “warm feeling.”

    1. Our next door neighbors at the coast left a second floor balcony door open with a storm approaching. Lucky I got a hold of him and got the security code to go in and shut it. Their house would have been flooded since the door faced the Gulf.

        2. When He-Man and I leave together we each make sure we saw it close, but when I’m by myself I need a much better system rather than fooling with mirrors, phone placement, inputting gps coordinates, and a quick lipstick check…you know distractions. I should be watching the door roll down. 🤷‍♀️😂
