Well written description! Puts the reader right there to visualize the situation.
You should try writing a novel, if you haven’t already.
Thanks, I’ve done some short fiction but the novel is something I’ll likely do in retirement. Need to lay off some of those “dark and stormy night” cliches however. But what I described in Frackville actually happened. I pulled off I-81 after a full day of driving from the Outer Banks in NC and stumbled upon this little town after seeing the Dutch Kitchen road sign. Then I saw the cheap motel and figured it was a decent enough place to spend the night.
