I wrote a short story on Sunday. Fiction. I figure some of you might like it. Let me know what you think.

Great story!
Sounds like there may be some truth in it?

No actually. The grandpa is a little based on my dad. The description of the 53 Dodge pretty much describes my 53 Desoto. And where the story takes place is where I live. But everything else is fictional. I never knew my grandparents. I've never owned a Kennedy toolbox.
Thanks for the compliments!

Great story. I wish it was longer.
I got my Dad's tools when he passed away. I remember passing them to him when he was under the car or behind the TV. Hated it when I was a kid but wouldn't trade it for anything in the world now.
