Miguel heard the silence as the last of the families left the patch. " Doreen, are you still here?.
" Yes". There was hesitation in the voice. " They did not pick me".
" Alex, are you still here?".
" Yes, I'm still here". There was silence. " I was not picked also".
" What's wrong with me" Doreen asked. " I'm a good pumpkin with a nice roundness".
" I don't know". Miguel sighed. " I'm a good looking pumpkin also".
" I'm scared". Alex's voice hesitated. " What will happen to us if we are not picked?".
" Don't worry" Doreen said in a reassuring voice. " God knows we are here".
Miguel sighed. " I sure hope you are right".
