A  Story

The evening was warm with expectation and possibilities. A summer evening filled with games of tag, orange Popsicles, and the expectation that the soon darken night sky would be filled with a thousand flashes of light from the fireflies. Carrying their bottles of beer the adults began to gather in Hokies’ kitchen. My instincts were set afire. I knew that where adults gathered; I wanted to be. I snuck through the outside basement door, quietly climbed the cellar steps, slowly opened the door and entered the kitchen. I quickly went to my mother's side and sat next to her. I nervously waited anticipating her command to leave. No command came. I sat silently listening to the stories told by my parents and my neighbors of WWII, the depression, and their childhood. I clearly remember this hot summer evening. This was the moment that I came to love story.
