Hello Mrs Gaffney, I have taken the liberty of boxing up your usual salad along with two hard boiled eggs. We have had a delivery of fresh bread and cheese, and the first of the new seasons olive oil has arrived. If you want to check out the shelves I will be boxing up your daughters usual order. Her son Jamie came in earlier, said that you was helping them out till his father gets out of jail. You know I still can’t get over his conviction. The whole town knows he is innocent.

At present I am struggling to give feedback, hopefully it is a passing phase. So I am grateful to all who read and take the time to comment.

Sounds like the local store where everyone knows everyone.
That is just what I was aiming for, thank you Dale
Dear Michael,
Hopefully the town can rally and get him out of jail.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Now that would need another story, thank you Rochelle
Of course the first thing I want to know is what he’s in for.
I also wondered that, perhaps one day I will find out. Thank you Alice
In small town everyone helps out other person. Nice practice.
That you Abhijit
Everyday life in a small town.
Indeed that is what I was aiming for. Thank you
“Where everybody knows your name.” You packed a lot of story into that little paragraph.
Thank you so much Linda,
…but is he really innocent I wonder!
I think that he probably is, but I struggled to get clarity on that.
Nicely told.
Thank you Violet… When writing this story I did feel that I wanted more clarity on why he was incarcerated, but I found that I could not develope that area of the story. Perhaps one day, another prompt will open the door for me.
Totally believable chat from a storekeeper.
Thank you Liz. As an ex storekeeper I have experienced a lot of social chatter.
Sounds like a great small town like the one I grew up in. Great take on this prompt.
I did envisage a small town with a cohesive environment, I am so pleased that came over. Thank you Shirley for your comment
Life goes on as usual, despite everything.
It certainly does, which pleases me. Thank you Sandra
i wonder why his family deserves such generosity. it must be something he has done previously.
