Christmas At Timberwoods
“Something was wrong. His round eyes darkened as he watched the groups of people muttering among themselves. Some of the store owners had gathered outside their shops and were talking and gesticulating angrily.

A little girl stopped to stare at him. “Are you sick?” she asked, but her mother grabbed the little girl’s arm and yanked her away.MoreLess
