Resolution

Hollis is gonna post early today. Something about calling that girl in Jackson tonight. Thank all y'all who looked at my stuff over the last couple of months (over 1000 views.) Makes me feel good and that's important for an old man. Now Hollis want to say a couple of things and finish his little story.

                     How Grandfather Whitmire Came to Stay in Harper (conclusion)

       In the morning, when she realized he had not come to bed, she hurried barefoot and robeless into the kitchen. She found him seated at the table, staring ahead, unaware of her arrival. In front of him there were sheets of paper, in his hand a pen. When he saw her he gently folded the paper and slipped it in his pocket.
She came to him and put her arms around his neck. He patted her arms and turned to her face and smiled.
       Later that day while tending to some brush that need to be burned, he took the papers, failed attempts to justify his yearnings, and added them to the fire, sending their message on the journey he could not take.

Hollis' funny names:
Otto Knoe is clueless
Moe Lester lives in your neighborhood
