Whoa. I loved reading this. I can’t wait to read Part 2. Your descriptions are excellent. I could see you hanging up the phone, seeing the girl, plugging in the electric, and finally seeing the man. The interactions between you and the girl were sweet, sassy, and humorous. How you describe things. The words you choose. Brilliant. Thank you for sharing.

A bully with a gun frightening a small child and a young female. Sounds like the Virginia I remember, sadly.

O.M.G.

The descriptions of people, places, and events are so vivid! I'm right there with you, frozen as I wait to see what happens with this red-faced, gun-toting guy.

Kate is younger and softer. This lil one…she was something otherworldly. See you later this week!!

As soon as I get caught up I’ll pass the phone to Unkl Rogere so he can enjoy reading about your experiences as well.
