The Story: Passports, Please

by Ronda Del bocco

Genre: Memoir

Word count: 100

I loved bouncing over the waves in the hydroplane my 4th-year Spanish class rode from Spain to Tangiers…

Until they took our passports. I didn’t want to surrender mine.

“If you don’t give them your passport, you can’t come,” my teacher explained.

“What if something happens? What if they sell our passports or something? Then we won’t be able to go home.”

“Don’t worry so much.” She waved a dismissive hand.

We saw rats big enough to saddle and ride, hideous squalor and filth. I ate nothing and only drank bottled water.

I got my passport back, but…worst day trip ever!
