Long Black Veil
“She had to wait until lunch to devote any serious time to it. Zipping up her jacket, she headed out to the stone table at the back of the school where she could eat her bagged lunch and read in privacy.
The sun was a buttery yellow, limning the half-bare branches of the trees with gold. It was cool and dry this October day, one of those perfect fall afternoons where the sky looks unreal in its clarity of blue. The weather was turning colder, but it was still warm enough to sit outside if th...e sun was on you. It wouldn’t stay that way for long though.
Devon sat on the table to better bask in the sunshine, her feet on the stone bench, knees drawn up close to her body. She set the diary on her knees and opened it to the page she’d left off with last night. This entry, like the others before it, detailed the minutia of Lorelei’s high school days. But there was a pattern Devon was noticing. Lorelei never mentioned Devon’s father, Deacon, in any of these entries.MoreLess
