Totally in & bump.

Short story, not a lot of editing.

It’s a small community. Rural, and sprung out from a pine forest many years ago. There’s been little development, but the population never changes much. Babes born, age, wither, die. They leave, but they’re drawn to it. Drawn back. The children wander out, some for school, some to chase dreams, but they find their way back. They love their home. Why should they not? They spend lives mending it. The community is home, always was.

Nathan owns the only store in town. The community farms, they grow most of what they need for themselves, and not a small number grow everything they need. What was lacking, then, in this closed place was congregation. They had no place to pass the gossip. To pound out political differences. To drink.

Idk what this thread is about but here's another dog.

Is there any more of this dog?
