Thanks, Jeff. Whenever I've been asked to read one, that's the one I choose. And that was an exercise in a writing class. Structure a story around a daily chore.

Hope you had a great Fourth, Patti!
That's one of the more memorable of your stories, I've always thought. The perfect title makes it easy to remember.

I liked that story, Patti. Chilling. Especially liked the focus on line drying and the mundane parts of life.
thanks!!
Good story, Patti. Also, a belated Happy 4th.
Thanks, Elgin!
