#FlashTag: Rural

#FlashTag @monologging “Sunny skies in Jackson County, High of 93. Winds E at 15 miles per hour. Corn’s coming up.”

#FlashTag @onthesidetreas1 Many dry, dusty fields. Many great men & some not so great, walked the cold dark rural South roads the year 1842

#FlashTag @diranasaurus “You still reading that history book, Jim? You read it maybe a million times… why’re you living in 1842?”

#FlashTag @JeffreyFBarken “Billy, for shame. Our great grandfather settled here. I reckon he’s spinning in his grave thinking we’ll forget.”

#FlashTag @NairobiCollins “We moved his grave.” Signs marking plots for development stood where the grandfather once lay. “He stood here…”

#FlashTag @itsjaykyall Silence reigned. “Next book I read will be science fiction,” Jim said. “History don’t grasp the strangeness.”
