Walter and Harriet have lived a long, full life on their quiet farm—a life of love, loss, and hard-earned peace. But on one golden summer evening, as they finish their final supper and watch the sun dip low, they know it’s time to say goodbye.
To their neighbors, it will look like tragedy—a fiery accident at the edge of their land. But the truth lies beyond the gorge, in a hidden cave and a fountain that has kept them young for generations.
As their old lives burn away, Walter and Harriet begin anew—reborn under new names, ready to fall in love all over again. Because for some, love doesn’t end with time—it begins again.
This Story took Honorable Mention in the Springfield Writers Guild 2022 Fall Literary Contest.
