Therefore every time I look at them I think about what they looked like before. I started wondering what it would be like to feel all of the pressure of the game clock. The clock that provides all of the suspense by giving a very ominous sound. The rallying offense drives down the field to score while the clock…

I’ve known Eli his whole life- Me and his father, Henry, came to these hills over sixty years ago.” “He must live a long ways,” mumbled Charity. “Naw, not that far,” her grandfather responded. “No more ’n about twenty miles down the Savannah. I usually stop off over at his place on my way to and from Fort Charlotte.
