Father Fleischer
padded softly afoot the slate stone stairwell of Saint Andrew’s Cathedral, smoothly
stepping straightway towards the upper sanctum where Mother Superior Judith Von
Engle would surely be sweeping through her morning studies. The bite of the dawn’s
gentle patters of rain had swiftly given way to the lustrous sun now bleeding
through the slotted windows of the Cathedral stairway, but Father Fleischer did
not require the meager light to guide his feet.

Bradbury Heights: IV – Unseen Persons
Sheer white sunlight
finally pierced through the cluster of crusty clouds as Mike took his seat in
the blustery classroom awaiting the chime that would indicate the initiation of
the day’s didactic activities. Sketching aside the papers littering his desk,
the stripling student tediously balanced a pen on his forefinger, pondering
upon the inner intrinsic complexities of the lead black chalkboard.

Bradbury Heights: III – Mayoral Assertions
Sheriff Humboldt,
meandering afoot a stairy slope, pondering the quirking scenes of earlier this
morn, could not quite keep down the strange sensation of a lurking
discontinuity that accompanied him wherewithever he walked. Entering the
doorway atop the stairs and depositing his satchel alongst a stiff wooden
chair, the Sheriff grimaced at the sight of his turbulent troop, depleted of
the sentiment of sanctuary proffered by the formerly uneventful duties that
squired doldrum Bradbury Heights.

Bradbury Heights: II - Froward Information
Spelunking didn’t quite hardly compare to such
frolipherous activity as ‘twas currently engaged one Bartholomew Flavius
Hughes. Whilst o’er ‘twix ‘tween a rock and a hard place, while certainly, in
such literal context, was exceedingly enjoyable, Bartholomew procured a
particular gleam for his present circumsituation. In the one hand he held an
aluminum cylinder, ten inches long, green, with a spray nozzle affixt to its
end. And in the other, a bottle of equal stature, yet blue as the midsummer sky
which would soon grace pristine Bradbury Heights in nary two months.

Bradbury Heights: I - A Tragic Discovery
Drizzle-pouring rain, a flock of tears from heaven's font, one last stretch of icy breath. Yesterday t'was such an sunlit day yet ere this morn all warmth went out in a snuff. Harriet Bowman pludged along the mud slipped path up towards the steeple of Chapel Hill. Father Fleischer would expect the strindgy pews dusted and swept a'fore this even's vigil wenx all the town (at least the more piously natured fellows and madams) would gather to witness the surgical sermon swiftly surmising sin and shame, which the Father would deliver precisely to all and none.

Bradbury Heights
Danceling along down the way went little Missy May,
Skip-waltzing through fields of grass grown tall.
Sheer summer song of soul felt joy breaking free from its ice long slumber, t'was the dream of little Missy May to dance and sing. And as her heart leapt o'er stone and log her feet could scarcely keep time. Far down the path from Chapel Hill, through the light strung woods along sweet waters edge. A river running softly in the midst of gnarlsome tree of fir and flee, stray sprouts of greenage sparkling forth anew.
