Mrs. Parsons lives a quiet life in a small cottage in the woods on the outskirts of town, having woken next to her husband, Lloyd, and gone about her normal routine every day for the past fifty plus years. But on this most extraordinary day, she will venture out into the world, reclaiming her place in it and, in so doing, rediscovering herself. In this lush, romantic short tale from Phil Geoffrey Bond, the simple life is revealed as not so simple at all.
