Mr. Davis brought Jude the money from the trash, almost ninety dollars. Jude put half in an envelope for Titus baby sister as a wedding gift from her brother. With the rest he bought his first pair of cotton underwear, which he didn't wear for the longest time. Instead he wore a pair of cheese cloth shortalls he found in a chest that belonged to Titus. He wore them until the fabric dry rotted and just fell apart.
And Jude didn't buy a belt that year. He found Titus old belt buckle in a crack in the wood floor. He wore that thing everyday for as long as he could remember. He would touch it occasionally and remember the time...
As he lay in bed that night, so many years later; he smiled, the pain of his past all gone if only for the moment it took to remember. Jude had learned that time could heal everything but a broken heart, but once in a precious blue moon a memory could make the broken pieces warm together, the ragged edges turned to silk and hope would live again.

eagerforfunover 10 years agoChoked me up, too. Touched my heart. If this part was edited out, the rest of the novel must be awesome. Good luck with its publication.
Anonymousalmost 13 years agoOf course it was hot, but it was more than that. Well written and sweet, if a bit heartbreaking.
Anonymousabout 13 years agoWell written. I don't usually read stories in a rural setting but you did it so well. I enjoyed it very much.
