Sad and true and beautifully rendered.
 
Nicely turned and eminently subdued. Wonderful.
 
Just now found this. Thanks, Barry! Thanks for reading and commenting, Darryl and James.
 
Oh, yay! I am a Misti fan. I love the internally-rendered dialogue with the writer in this story. And the sights and sounds.
 
this is a bad-ass piece of writing.
