Curtis Macurdy gazed out the window of the truck at a field plowed and disked. Near the far end, someone, presumably his father, was walking behind the horse-drawn spike-tooth, readying the ground for planting. Beyond stood the house Curtis had grown up in, the barn nearby, sheds, corncrib, and the ancient white oak that spread across the front yard.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s the place,\u201d he told the driver. \u201cJust drop me off at the corner.\u201d He felt uncomfortable about his homecoming; had since he\u2019d gotten off the train at Volinia.<\/p>\n

Macurdy nodded, put the coin back, and shook the man\u2019s hand. \u201cThanks,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m obliged to you. \u201d Taking his suitcase from the seat, he got out, slammed the door, and waved as the driver left. Then he walked to the house. Place needs paint, he told himself. Hard times.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
