It's 11.9 miles to Mardela Springs.

The public school's a left away from

the town which is too small to be called

a town.

Past the school and heading

south is a road which

immediately kisses country，

a large pond there

with a house

beside it.

The shadows

in the fall morning

make a wind beside the house.

The students are tired.

It's Monday. It doesn't seem

to matter what day， most of the time

they're tired.

In the early fall dark

the road whispers to the pond.

"Amends¹." School is out， no one hears. In 216

He drops a screw from ten steps up.

The school is so quiet it hears the drop.

The school and the road begin their talk.

Soon the pond joins in.

"Amends."
