Oh to be here.
Colorado in August, and even more tourists than last time. Paying more rent than they had wanted for last summer’s A-frame, what with the new place having a bigger yard. People turning out to want to look at nature more than they want to linger over taco lunches, though. Having to sit out on the back porch staring at boulders so big that someone going for a hike can’t fit between them to get any peace and quiet, what with an endless parade of day-tripper hikers meandering down the lane out front.
my new short fiction piece published to my Substack at the link if you’d like to read the rest. The image is a 1960s Dole Pineapple advertisement.
