Wincing, Everette stands up, and looks around. He appears to be on some back country dirt road. Peering about he sees that he is near a farm, as corn fields occupy both sides of the road. In the distance a rotted red barn is in view. With a sharp pang of nostalagia, Everette remembers the time he, Sharon and Amanda had gone to an apple orchard. It had been before the divorce, one of the last happy times as a family. This road, in fact, was the road to the orchard. That meant he was just outside of Woodson, where he lived. Amanda had been thrilled, he remebers fondly, that apples really did come from trees. His daughter was extremely gullible, an aspect a boy at school was keen to exploit. Apples, this boy had told Amanda, are really children, swallowed up by the tree, and the apples were the remains that the tree spat out. Everette had wanted to kick that boy in the head, but opted to show Amanda an apple tree and explain to her the seeding process. They made a day of it, had a picnic, picked apples and took wagon rides. It was one of the happiest simplest moments of Everette's life.
