This is the sweetest setup we ever had. The following story is lead, it's cottage cheese, it's a burning sensation in your urethra. It's included in the cold, black book, LEAVES FROM THE SMORGASBORD! Available now!
FAMILY AFFAIR
Sebastian
Cabot, dressed in his immaculate Mr. French wardrobe, cane in hand, strolls the
summer-baked streets between Family Affair takes. It is the last season of
the show and the year of the gypsy moth plague. Trees weep, stripped of leaves,
hanging with gauzy cotton tents that pulse and spill with thousands of furry
larval bodies. The asphalt is paisley with multihued, traffic-flattened
caterpillars and Mr. Cabot studies them like a secret language only he
understands.
He stops at an intersection. His face
drains. The dead caterpillars spell out a fearsome message about Anissa
Jones.
And Sebastian Cabot weeps like the trees.
