No Time chapter 3 page 2

No Time chapter 3 page 2 by ric gustafson


The young man led Bryson and Jessica down a sandy sidewalk. They stopped next to another gated entrance. The young man picked up a black phone. " Mr Hinkle, you have visitors". The gate opened. He led the two down another sandy sidewalk to an elderly man who was studying what was inside a red pail.
Jessica walked up and handed him a package. " Mr Hinkle, here is your watch that Father Time fixed".
" Thank you Jessica" he replied as he sifted sand through a strainer into the pail. " And who is your friend?".
" This is Bryson". She smiled. " He is helping me make deliveries today".
He shook Bryson's hand. " Bryson, have you ever been interested in sand?".
" Yes, ever since I was young".
" Take a look at this". He brought over the pail and took out a pinch of sand. " I love this place because it is like my own private sandbox.".
" What is it?".
He put a pinch of sand into the palm of Bryson's right hand.
" This Bryson is a grain of sand".
