I happen upon the ad quite by accident, the way any good fortune happens, I suppose. The Farmer’s Almanac was the only interesting thing among the man’s possessions. He had it folded on the crease of the advert section. Only a monster would treat a book like that, but Mr. Flack had more interest in other people’s belongings than his own, so I guess it makes sense.
Farmer’s Almanac The ad was circled several times in thick black ink. PERFECT BRIDE GUARANTEED.
PERFECT BRIDE GUARANTEED.Once I’d completed the job, I took a beat to cool down and catch my breath. I sat in the truck, flipping through the Almanac, until eventually, my appetite got the better of me and I decided to stop in town at the feed store. Mrs. Martin makes the best cold cuts and I needed to pick up a few provisions.
