Lovely, peaceful little slice of life…definitely suits the picture.

Well, thank you, good friend and comrade. Being from Ohio, I’m sure you can appreciate the setting. I’m testing this little “slice of life” here on ficlets to be part of a larger story. I sincerely appreciate the favorable comments…

It seems an ordinary situation, yet reading between the lines of both stories i sense something ominous.

In a weird way, it seems like “A Jury of Her Peers” or “Trifles” (same work and author, but one’s a play & the other’s a short story).

Sounds interesting, Alexa – I’ll check those out…

Wow, I love the imagery here. It’s just very real, very true to life, and you don’t see that too often. Great job!
