Spring had stretched the daylight hours and dried the damp-weather rot in my hands by the time the old woman, Emmeline, began visiting the orange grove. By then, I knew enough to see she wasn’t well.

I actually thought the elderly woman was a victim (at first). Hoooooooo boy, that wasn't the case. Thanks, eh.
I'm a stand-up philosopher until 2024. Then, I move onto my next gig. I'm a gentleman forester and farmer. I also enjoy jumping into Lake Huron and panicking the fish.

This was cool, I'm not entirely sure I followed everything but I enjoyed it either way!

Took quite a while to catch on to this one (given its brevity), but it was worth pressing through. Why are so many of these Aurealis Month stories quite creepy??
