Old Fashioned Delights! πŸ₯¨πŸ©πŸ¦πŸŽ‚

GenXer Sharon πŸ™πŸ€

    A bit of everything sold at Old Fashioned Delights! Business was always steady; especially during summer nights! Blake is unsure he can make a go of this again. Much to repair here and the cost alone will drain most everything. As Blake looks around at all that used to be; he spots the corner booth with the window he shared with Bessy. Blake is second guessing coming back home. He’s not ready to face her yet; he’s done well on his own. “Blake?” “Is that you buddy?” Blake turns to see his childhood friend Brode. “It’s been a long time Bro; surprised you know it’s me.” “You’re going to get this up and running again?” He asks; “I’m not so sure Bro; this will take a lot of cash.” “Come on Blake!” “You can make this happen in no time.” “This town hasn’t seen much; you’ve got to bring this back to life.” “You’re more worried about Bessy and the mess that was left behind.” “Well Blake; just leave that be for now until you can make things right.” Blake says absolutely nothing as he knows Brode is right. “Well how’s the business coming along that you brought back to life?” “It took some time but things finally started working out well.” “For a while there I was about ready to throw in the towel.” “Blake; we can make this place feel like home again.” “What do you say?” “Let’s call a few old friends.” Do you think Blake will stay? Should he give it a try? You know me; tune in next time.

    Sharon, this pulled me right in…there’s a warm, small-town feel to it that makes the whole scene easy to step into. It feels like coming back to something unfinished, with people who still know you. That stays with me. Strong piece. πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›
