Color of a Cry

Color of a Cry is a collection of 57 short stories. Heartfelt stories of growing up in the rural South during the 50s and 60s. A time of innocence. Simpler times. Stories about a boy a family and of an America we remember fondly. You will laugh cry and remember a time gone by. It sat at the intersection of two dirt roads. The unique location gave me and my childhood friend Bobby four distinctly different ways to go exploring. Mama didnt mind as long as we followed her rules: Be home by dark dont come home wet and dont get on any paved roads. We most often chose the northern artery for it ran ten miles before meeting pavement ten miles as a crow flies but neither dirt roads nor young boys travel in straight lines. The house is still there but its just an old farmhouse worse for the wear. At one time it was a new home for two young parents just starting out. Mom and Dad are gone now too. We laid them to rest nearby. My sisters and I moved away years ago. Time has taken away nearly everything except the fond memories.
