• STORY 80- DARKNESS & THE BRIDE- PART 1
• In the warm afternoon of mid-June, Julia’s face was bright and glowing in all her loveliness and uncontainable joy. Already, her face was sore because it would not stop grinning. She was the centerpiece of the day, the bride. She had never felt so beautiful and glorious, since in her childhood fantasies. Her new dress had never been worn. It was sown together by Mrs. Thelma Schumacher. It was a floor-length wedding gown with a jewel neck lace tulle. Her brown hair was in an updo with messy waves and a few locks down. She was crowned with a sparkling, silvery star hairpiece.
• Nevertheless, to her, the greatest accessory was herself. She clung to the arm of her new husband, Buzz Meadows. A dashing young man—today in a black tuxedo—was in the farming trade in Williston Falls. Not a farmer himself but a silo salesman.
