However, a...

"Lord only knows what kind of vermin you're bringing to my clean sheets," Eula Rhy had declared. ...
But she’d declined anyway, saying how busy the season had become. And it was true for the next two weeks, at least for Nathan. Senior year was proving to be full of tests and papers and deadlines of all types. And when he added to that parties, get-togethers and a girlfriend, he barely had time t...

"Is this a local delicacy?" Roe Farley had asked, gesturing to the open jar. After a morning of cutting cordwood, his shoulders were achy and several nasty blisters had formed on his right palm.

It was a tradition in David’s family to spend that day volunteering at the interfaith meal for needy families that was held annually in the exposition hall downtown. I had participated, in my own way, for several years. Teddy’s family also did the citywide service dinner and the two of us typical...
