My Brother and Pool

My Brother and Pool

A Story by Luke Sills

Anyone have siblings? I have an older brother. He's two years older, in fact. Having an older brother is weird. Especially if you're a guy. Growing up, it was a lot like having an older version of me walking around in the same house that I live in. A lot of times I remember admiring the things he did. I didn't admire them be because they were smart things to do, I admired them because he would survive at least two years after he did it. It was almost like a guaranteed success plan. I knew that I could do the same thing and I knew exactly what would happen. It was kind of like at the end of a TV show where it's like "Next time on Top Chef! Chef Dean gets away with double homocide!" In fact, I remember a time several years ago when we were playing pool in our basement. Except, he had a different way of playing pool where instead of hitting the ball with a stick, he would take the stick and launch it at the wall. And this one time, he actually got it lodged into the wall. I was like 10 years old so I hadn't seen anyone play pool before. All I knew, is that he was pretty dang good at it. And here we are, 12 years later and he still hasn't gotten in trouble.

I know it's not the most hilarious writing ever, but I would love some feedback on how I can make it funnier without straight-up lying.

Hey, I'm Luke. I spend a lot of my day trying to get people to laugh. This is kind of like my way to test my material. I'll post my writing(ideally) in short, 150 word stories or jokes. Feedback, both.. more..
