Story Bits 5:365

So you leave highway ten and head on up the Georgia Florida Highway, not too fast mind you because the Courthouse is dead ahead, if you go to fast you’ll end up like those boys from Perry did, high and dry on the court house steps. You will pass the signs of modernity that read “Subway”, “Winn Dixie”, and Chicken Delite on the left.  Now you take the bend past the boarded up Ace Hardware,  pass the Episcopal church painted the same color as the original train depot , turn left at the three story yellow Victorian house that use to be there (it stood the torment of time before a fire caused by faulty wiring by an amateur electrician), and find the lawn that is brighter than a star that has gone super-nova.   Now you are at my in-laws lovely place in Monticello Florida.

(Idea came from Eudora Welty's description in her Short Story Where is the Voice Coming From).

So you leave Four Corners and head west on Nathan B. Forrest Road, past the Surplus & Salvage, not much beyond the Kum Back Drive-In and Trailer Camp, not as far as where the signs starts saying "Live Bait," "Used Parts," "Fireworks," "Peaches," and "Sister Peebles Reader and Adviser." Turn before you hit the city limits and duck back towards the I.C. tracks. And his street's been paved.
