Paulie the possum has had it with eating berries and bugs. There’s a nice trash can over there, just brimming with goodies.

He can smell the pizza crusts, half-eaten hamburgers and yummy melon rinds.

All he has to do is get around that sleeping little white yapper over there.

This should be no problem for a skilled ninja-like possum like Paulie.

Everything is the same. The flag is even blowing in the same direction.There stands the tower, just as it appeared in his dreams.

No girl plunging to her death, though. At least, she wasn’t there yet.

He sets his jaw in grim determination and heads toward the tower.

Main street used to be the center of activity in our little town. I got my first haircut right down the street at Luther’s Barber Shop.

When I was a teenager, we used to hang out at the fountain over at Huxley’s Pharmacy across the street.

Times change. Main Street got pretty run down for a few years. Most of the merchants couldn’t compete with the big box stores.

Now there’s a couple of new places opening.

Think I’ll go see what they’re selling.
