See What I See
“It’s been like house arrest. I wish I could walk out the door into my beloved woods instead of into the city, but truthfully any change of scenery is welcome at this point. Stepping outside, I see the cat has rejected the food I set out. Why would it want to belong to someone when it can go its own way? I don’t blame it. In the mild October afternoon I wander in the direction of the convenience store. In front of the store I spot Thomas getting out of a car.
“How’s your dad?”
I give him all the... news and tell him about Erlita.
“So what are you doing?”
“I’m out for a walk. Erlita says it’s all right to leave Dad for a couple of hours. I’m hungry for a little country, but I guess I’ll never find it here.”
“My head’s full of comparative anatomy and I could use a breather myself. Hop in—I’ll show you countryside.”
He opens the car door, shoving aside a bird’s nest of books, newspapers, and empty coffee cups. The car coughs and hesitates and then does what it’s told.MoreLess
