Description

Frank got the idea driving home from work. He crossed the ravine and was turning into Applewood Estates when he saw it-an orange pup tent set up under a willow. The ropes that kept the sides from sagging were pulled taut, and the flaps were open. Two rolled-up sleeping bags lay inside. It was McMichael's place, probably his twins pretending they were in the mountains. Frank was thinking how it would be for them--bedding down in sleeping bags lined with cotton pheasants. Canteens, flashlights, comic books, smuggled candybars.
