I can't believe I never responded to this post, @caleblailmusik! At the time you posted it I was worried I wouldn't be able to participate in that session of Write Club, and I intended to figure that out and circle back to your post. At any rate, it's a great story and a really nice prompt. I loved the challenge to write about "place." This took me on a memory journey around the farm where my mother grew up, and which is still in the family. Thanks for posting this!
