This was his land. The land his father had fought and died for. The land where Cherokee and buffalo once ran wild, free as the high blue sky that hung above the prairies. The land that had been stained with the blood of Yankee and Rebel soldiers, watered by the tears of joys and sorrows. The land where Continue reading “Scorched Earth”

She felt his presence as he sat down beside her on the concrete step. He didn’t speak, and neither did she.
