Wendall's last trip



Bargain hunters searching a gross of paper towels or a tank of cheap gas pass Wendall’s marker.

Cheerful new flowers obscure his name, written in a plump, rounded hand with a black Sharpie.

Maybe Wendall’s wife has a case of flowers, a box of Sharpies that she buys at Sam’s, just across the road.
