My Nora
“The trip had been grueling, as always, since his destination was in the middle of absofuckinglutely nowhere and the closest major airport was several hours away by car. The ride from the airport with his aunt, Minnie, was always painful with her non-stop chattering about people he didn’t know nor have any desire to.

He’d always lived in Chowan County, so he was used to one out of every two people being some shade of brown or tan or red.MoreLess
