Vignettes of Times, Places & People
I write these vignettes because I like them. Sometimes they're characterizations, sometimes events, sometimes just reminiscence.
Don
He carried the message—the real deal.
Bessie
The years stole the sight from one of Bessie's eyes, and her red hair thinned almost to nothing. But her laughter stayed rich.
Dizzy
He's still the only person I ever knew who could be addressed only by his zip-code.
Beer, Dovie
My parents moved from the hotel room, but Dovey stayed in our lives.
