The busiest place in town is the grain elevator, the only sky scraper in the county. Trains spot hoppers for the incoming harvest and then scurry off for the next town. They dump their loads and move along so the next in line can take its turn. The fuel that feeds the harvesters. When it is all over the fields are plowed, the wheat sown, and a green carpet is prepared for another year.
Children grow into adulthood and leave for college.
More do not. But the cycle continues. This is the beauty of life lived as it was meant to be.
