He introduced himself and his brother as Timothy and Charles Winslow. After introductions were made, he chained the tree to the back of his truck and slowly moved the trees off of Linda, while Charles and Sadie checked out her leg. It was broken in two places and bleeding profusely. Linda looked away, while Penny took out their belongings from the over-turned Bus and loaded up the back of the truck. Sadie took blankets, Timothy came back, and took off his over shirt and ripped it up to create a make-shift bandage for the leg. As a splint, They took off a long branch from one of the trees and tied the branch over the leg using the "bandage." Charles rearranged the stuff that Penny had loaded in the back of the truck to make a bed for Linda to sit on, while Timothy picked up Linda, as gently as he could and sat her on the bed. Sadie sat in the back with Linda, while Penny climbed into the passenger side of the truck. Timothy sat next to Sadie and tossed the keys to his younger brother, Charles, who opened the driver's door and got in, slamming the door behind him.
On the way to the farm, Charles took it easy so as not to jar Linda and her leg. Timothy, Linda and Sadie were trading life stories of the adventures that they had. Now that Sadie saw him up close he looked way older than college age. In fact, he was 31. When he was 18, he left home and went to Colorado to become a cowboy at a ranch up near Greeley; he then came to Nebraska, where his grandmother lived and worked on the farm, after his grandfather died. His father was a World War One veteran and wanted his oldest brother, Paul, to fight in World War Two when it came time for America to fight. Tim was only eight, when Pearl Harbor got hit, and Charles was only a baby. When that happened Paul felt that he was called to join the Army. He was killed in battle. Charles and their younger sister, Mary, eventually left home to join Timothy on the farm. Mary was in between Sadie and Penny age-wise, being 17 and Charles was 20. Their parents wrote to them often and were actually planning on buying the patch of land not far from their grandparents' farm and move next door to them.
Sadie and Penny were sisters who's mother died of cancer two years ago. Their father left them with their cousins who didn't want them. Sadie was 18 and Penny was 15. Their best friend, Linda, and Sadie had been planning on leaving Cincinnati for a long time. Linda lived with her older brother who got married and had a family of his own. So when Penny and Sadie had a fight with their brat of a cousin, Cynthia, who was the same age as Sadie, that triggered their desperate plan to leave. Sadie told Timothy that they were headed towards Denver to see the premiere of Help! and maybe head on towards California. When they were done, Sadie looked over at the farm that was by now getting bigger and bigger.
I may go into Chapter Two....depends.
Well, anywho. More's coming...believe me.
