The hail startles the reader out of this reverie and the gentle love and support of the grandfather and the community ease the reader back into sleep and bliss-filled dreams of fresh ripe peaches.<BR/><BR/>RCSRob Seiferthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04167331339051705486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15879731.post-1127609644928968912005-09-24T19:54:00.000-05:002005-09-24T19:54:00.000-05:00I so loved this.

It really makes the reader feel them as well. <BR/><BR/>Nice work, SG. <BR/><BR/>I am posting a short story this morning, mainly focusing on peaches and why I hate them (nothing to do with your lovely story), with a minor storm involved. <BR/><BR/>Not sure if I will keep up the Fiction Friday thing, but I may try. It is sure cheaper than the creative writing class I want to take.Bobbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11388786592473223363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15879731.post-1127564073956366712005-09-24T07:14:00.000-05:002005-09-24T07:14:00.000-05:00This is life-praising.
