the return to Hoot Owl page 2

the return to Hoot Owl page 2 by ric gustafson.


Alfie Huntley slowly drove down the quiet street and stopped the SUV in front of a small sign. It read ' The Hoot Owl Inn'. Alice watched through the passenger window as her husband drove slowly into the circular gravel driveway. As he parked in front of the white colored Inn, she noticed that no other cars were parked there.
As he took the luggage out of the trunk, Alice walked up some wooden steps and through a heavy wooden door and into a heavily decorated foyer. There was a fire blazing in a large fireplace and several stuffed animal heads on the walls. She rang the bell that was on the front counter as Alfie put two green suitcases on the floor near their feet.
" Hi" said a smiling young man as he walked up to the counter. He wore a white suit and white untied sneakers. " May I help you?".
" Yes, is it possible to rent a room for tonight?". She stared at the young man. " We're on our way to Oklahoma City".
" Of course".




Peace and God's blessings. Love Ric.
