The Last Days

Submitted to Contest #293

Enderton Valley It has been 46 years since I last visited this town. Not many people have heard about it, and justifiably so. There’s really nothing extraordinary that goes on around here. It's the typical “everybody knows everyone” sort of town with a couple of local stores that you wonder how are still in business.

I decided to walk home from work today instead of taking my usual commute. Spring had finally rolled in, and the evenings had started to brighten up. A modest breeze still lingered in the air as if it were on its way to leave, like the rest of winter. It seemed to get colder as I grew older, and the snow barely sticks around nowadays. Despite that, spring was always a delightful time for me. Ever so beautiful and elegant, it was my favorite time of the year. In the past, I had chosen to walk back home instead of taking the subway many times ...
