**Danny's Dream of a flashback

The merciless summer sun burned against my skin, while I laid on my back tinkering the aged biplane of the McCawley's locally owned dust cropping business. Beating a hammer against the engine in hopes to bring what little life the old bird still had back just long enough so I could get today's list out of the way. Though, it remained a useless attempt when the planes ignition didn't fire upon the first try the switch flipped.

Music to my ears.

Bending down to the foot step in which she stood on, "Would a spy bring it's enemy an ice cold cup of sweet tea?"

Straightening up in the seat. I gave full attention to the kind gesture she had took upon herself to do.
