Hunter Moran Saves The Universe (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
We pass the town round, the park in the middle of town. Right in the center is a huge iron pot on a stand. It’s Lester Tinwitty’s original kettle, dinged worse than Diglio’s Acura. Lester dropped in by balloon, forged the kettle, and stayed to found the town. One by one, pioneers staggered in, starving, and whispering, “Soup, soup.” All Lester had to do was stir up the pot. I’m just glad I wasn’t around then. I’d have eaten leaves or acorns instead of that soup, or even starved to death. When we arrive home with the milk, beans, and two boxes of orange Jell-O, Linny is dancing up and down the front path. She grabs the bag out of the shopping cart and heads toward the house. “Mary is starving to death in there,” she mutters. Inside, it sounds like the roller coaster at Rye Beach. Mom is pacing up and down in the kitchen with Mary over her shoulder. Mary’s face is eggplant purple from screaming. Mom smiles at us. “Good work,” she says as she pours milk into Mary’s bottle with one hand.
