The Cellar
“Sunlight and screeching seagulls woke Donna. She tried to fall asleep again, but the narrow bed, swaybacked with age, made it impossible. She got up and stretched her stiff muscles.
Sandy was still asleep on the other bed.
Quietly, Donna crossed the cool wood floor to the front window. She raised the blind and looked out. Across the courtyard, a man weighted down with suitcases was leaving a small, green-painted cabin. A woman and a matching pair of children waited for him inside a station wago...n. Half the cabins of the Welcome Inn had either a car or a camper parked in front. Somewhere nearby, a dog barked. She pulled the blind.
Then she looked for the telephone. The room didn’t have one.
While she was dressing, Sandy woke up.
“Morning, honey. Did you sleep well?”
“Fine. Where are you going?”
“I want to find a telephone and call Aunt Karen.” She tied her sneakers. “I don’t want her worrying about us.”
“Can I come?”
“You can stay here and get dressed. I’ll only be a minute, then we’ll go get some breakfast.”MoreLess
