The opening to my story?

'Three figures occupy the parlor of the funeral home on Engel Street, two of them sisters.'

GASLIGHT—the 1944 Hollywood thriller—gave us the word 'gaslighting,' but you've got to look back to World War II to get at its chilling subtext.

First grill of the season.

Got some cheap beer, some garlic and lemon marinated pork loin, some bell pepper, some broccoli steaming inside, some Sturgill Simpson blasting on a speaker, dancing on my back porch.

Life is good.
