Flash in the Pan

“We are the new owners of a piece of history, Jasper! Take the left fork in the road and one more mile.”

Jasper let the car idle across the parking lot up to the porch of the 150-year old building. Constance slid out of the car, and they stood at the base of the steps. Holding hands they gingerly made their way inside.

Saloon doors separated the dining room from the kitchen. A large black widow menaced against shattering the web she had woven across them.

“Oh, Jasper! This is nothing like I imagined,” Constance whined, near tears.

When the raccoon ambled across the kitchen floor with half a pear in his mouth, Jasper grunted. “It is precisely what I imagined.”

  6. Sounds like they have some clean up to do before any actual forks will be used or beers will be pulled. Great use!
