Unleashed
“"Hi," I said, trying to sound like someone who was not going to faint.
"Welcome back." He attempted a welcoming smile but failed.
"Thanks. I was hoping to see William Franklin." "He is working in the park today." "Really?" "Yes, he volunteers. I'm guessing you'll find him on the esplanade."

His white hair fluttered in the river's breeze, and there was a smudge of dirt... on the tip of his dignified nose. He smiled up at me. "Hello dear, can I help you?" "My name is Joy, and I'm a student at NYU. I'm taking an urban planning class and thought that you would be the perfect person to speak to about 88 East End Avenue." "I'd be happy to tell you about her," he said, his voice filled with a father's pride. "Just give me a couple of minutes." I sat on a bench nearby and watched as he finished propping up the black-eyed Susans, using string to tie the long stems to the wooden stakes he'd beat into the ground.MoreLess
