THE BOX AND MY TROUBLE GETTING IT by Bruce Tryon
Suddenly, I found myself being sucked up toward the cargo bay doors, so I grabbed hold of the nearest steel tie ring on the floor. The tie rings looked to be about two inches in diameter. I struggled, trying not to get sucked up through the opening cargo bay doors. I was hit in the leg by a box, which almost made me lose my grip on the floor ring. I kicked the box away; it struck the floor and flew open. I looked inside and found what looked like a spacesuit. I grabbed it and put it on. Hopefully, I could get out of the cargo bay alive and catch a ride back to the ship even though I didn't have that box. Putting the suit on without getting sucked out of the cargo bay doors was a major problem. I put my foot through a floor ring, anchoring myself to the floor. Struggling into the spacesuit, I found it was too tight. Working frantically, I took off my uniform and put the spacesuit back on. It was a tight fit, but it would work. I looked around for the helmet, and I did not see it anywhere. As I looked up toward the doors in the ceiling, I did notice something shiny. I focused on the shiny small object, which I fervently hoped was the helmet to the suit I was wearing.
Bruce B. Tryon grew up in Utica, NY, one of three siblings. I started off in the printing profession in a small printing office. I then moved to Boston, MA, and worked at the Christian Science Publishing Society as a printer for several years. After this department was outsourced, I worked with a small printing company for a short time.
I explored different avenues, trying to break into the computer industry by taking a two-year degree course. I also worked different temp jobs before deciding to be a stay-at-home Dad for my Special Needs daughter. I continued to try to find another career path, taking some writing courses.
Eventually, I started on this book, "The Box and My Trouble Getting It". With help and support from my loving wife, Marilyn, it eventually was published. I am still looking for story ideas for my next publication.
