The Leave-taking
The summer, which had seemed so long in coming, now seemed so quickly over. Tomorrow they would have to close up the cottage and drive back to the city. Tuesday, the kids went back to school. But right now, they had promised themselves one last campfire.
Before long, the neighbors joined them, and even folks from around the lake. Children played, and built S’mores. People sang campfire songs, and the adults relived the happy season. Eventually, silence reigned, and people quietly contemplated the leaping flames.
Finally, the fire burned out. Somberly, but not sadly, everyone departed, looking towards next year.
