The sky was growing dark and the departing daylight was the herald of impending trick or treaters. Bootsie stretched out on the swinging porch seat and sighed the breath of a man who felt confident in his plans.
I enjoy how you bring out the characters in your descriptions. The details of the town are fantastic. It feels like a familiar place with familiar people. A day in the life.
Bootsie reached down a labor-gnarled hand and snatched the paper from the jack-o-lantern. In the faint glow from the garage light he read.
“What began by the seed is now finished by the fruit.”
A glittering tale for Halloween. Wonderfully written.
