September 3, 2014 – Letter to Danny

Danny,

New Weston sounds like a wonderful place. I wish I lived there myself from the way you describe it. It’s like so many of those small towns you see on television. Some of us stuck in the larger cities long to be in a small place, run around in the woods and enjoy what nature has to offer.

I bet the fall is wonderful there with all those hardwood trees with their leaves turning brown, gold, copper, yellow and ash. I bet the nights are starting to cool down now. It must be heaven. It’s still very hot and humid where I live. It will be a while longer before the cool air reaches us.

Oh, yes I did some research on those shadow things. It seems sometimes this happens to people after a traumatic event. Did something bad happen to you?

Sincerely,

DW Rigsby
