She seems to be carrying her whole past in that unreliable vehicle - your paragraph beginning "Lacy hadn’t been home since she went away for college" is great. There must be a reason she never went back to that "godforsaken place" - her apprehensions speak loud and clear, and the ending, it settles those apprehensions and stirs them up again with that one word: Dad. I like this a lot.Mark Kerstetterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13307987573435067415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8260274117021957060.post-45092266977903636792011-05-23T08:12:47.293-04:002011-05-23T08:12:47.293-04:00The stories that beat this out must be pretty darn...The stories that beat this out must be pretty darn good.

The details are rich and the end if pitch-perfect.<br /><br />Also: "Just a kiddy-car with cherry-cola coloured paint." I am so jealous of this sentence.
