Bells For Her
Sierra stands on the back porch, watching smoke from her cigarette melt into the calescent evening air. Day three of their stay at Grandma Betty's.
She makes them breakfast and dinner each day, usually before going to work. Without any negotiation, they've repaid kindness with odd jobs round the house.
Betty's day off. She joins Sierra on the back porch. There's garden gnomes in the yard dawdling between overgrown lilies and iris. I like it here. It feels like home.
You're welcome to stay here as long as you need, child. But I know, you got such a restless soul.

About time I leave a comment. This is a great series. Good characters, nice plot and narrative. Love it! A point to consider, whenever it’s clear, who’s experiencing something, don’t tell us that he/she saw, heard or wondered. Simply show us what it is that they hear etc. You’ll have a lot more words to tell the actual story. And we all want more of this story!
