A Short Short Story

THEY ate, without speaking at the kitchen
Il table and Frank conscious once again of
the silence, let his mind 60 back through the
years and the many meals they had shared
together in this room and in this manner
With the children growing up there had
always been talk and noise and laughter at
mealtime but now that they had left the farm
for the city it was almost like the times before
the first one had been born. He had never
been any good at making conversation with
Thelma but then, with their life ahead Of
them, she had understood and accepted it,
Now, he felt, his silence was an irritation to
her He wished the children would write more
often and then he would have something
important to talk about instead of trying to
think up things to say about the news that
came over the radio.
Il wrote to Paul today" she said, getting
up to clear. Il told him he ought to be able
to spare one hour week at least to let his
folks know what he was DOING
FRANK grunted. He'd given up being sur
prised whenever she came out with something
he was thinking about.
1t used to please him when they were first
married but now he knew it was just faculty
she'd been born with. He got up and stood
with the dish towel, waiting for the dishes to
be placed on the drain.
You ought to write to all of them" he said
She was still telling him what she'd written
to Paul when the knock sounded at the door
and he got up to open it.
Frank moved backward into the room, his
hands halfway to his shoulders, as the man
with the gun came forward. He heard Thelma
catch her breath behind him but she didn't
scream.
Anyone else around?" the man demanded.
And when Frank shook his head, Gimme the
keys to your car
The man wore no hat, leather wind
breaker, and dark cotton pants. He was about
thirty, squat, and his hair, shaved close over
the ears. was thick and black on top. Frank
knew it was Grimes because the radio had
said they'd got the other two that afternoon
in the southern part of the state.
They'd been gone from the state prison in
Hollybrook hundred miles to the north for
four days and Grimes had killed man two
days before, leaving him beside the road and
taking his car.
Frank lifted the keys from the hook by the
stove and tossed them over. The gun was
pointed at his stomach and he thought, Now
he will kill us and CO. He won't leave us alive
so we can phone.
Evening star., 1948-03-14

He'd never seen killer, not human one,
but he felt he would have recognized it in
Grimes if he'd met him anywhere. 1t was in his
eyes as he watched them, not as human
beings, but as something in his way to be got
rid of.
His eyes were as cold and as empty and as
deadly as the little round hole at the end of
his automatic.
You got coffee there?''
Thelma's hand picking up the cup was
steady and suddenly Frank thought, If she'll
throw it in his face when she brings it to
him I II have chance to-.

While no reason is officially Civ

quarters 1t is felt that the outcome
was due to the period Of time that
