The Sleeping Night

Cover The Sleeping Night
Authors:
Genres: Fiction
Stands just as strong as it did the day you hammered in the last nail—how long ago now? Must be ten or twelve years. Seems more like a million sometimes.
Anyway, it shows what a builder you are, this little tree house in the woods. I hope when this war’s all through you’ll think about that again. God gives a man a talent for a reason, and if I ever saw a man who could build things, you’re him.
From up here in the trees, everything looks so peaceful. It’s just past suppertime and I can hear the
...river. Some birds in a tree next door keep looking at me suspicious-like, but I think they finally figured out I’m not gonna bother them. They’re singing a little. I worry sometimes about the birds over there, in the war. It must scare them when the bombs come.
From where I’m sitting, all there is to see is tree branches and sunshine coming low through the leaves. The cottonwoods are glittering like Mrs. Pierson’s gold-button earrings. It’s a little hazy because it’s been raining.
