If you feel like browsing around the site to related articles, I’ve interviewed well known science fiction and fantasy authors, written about scifi and fantasy, made a list of hundreds of free scifi stories on Gutenberg, and talked on panels at speculative fiction conferences offered gobs of resources to writers and creatives.

Again, please open your hymnals to the appropriate page number and chapter. Chapter 2 — 

“IT WAS ONE OF those perfect autumn days so common in stories and so rare in the real world. The weather was warm and dry, ideal for ripening a field of wheat or corn. On both sides of the road the trees were changing color. Tall poplars had gone a buttery yellow while the shrubby sumac encroaching on the road was tinged a violent red. Only the old oaks seemed reluctant to give up the summer, and their leaves remained an even mingling of gold and green.”

To reiterate what I said in the last chapter, this takes place in three days in the fall, right around harvest season and the bonfires.
