Autumn leaves floated onto the patio. Neil Corbin counted them: Three from the maple, six from the ornamental plum. Another shifting of the seasons--what did he care?
He keened his ears for the familiar chorus of shuffling shoes or the clicking of Joe and Al's daily game of dominoes. But not a person stirred, and none were visible save crazy Anne over in the shade of the umbrella table. Were it not for the birdsong in the trees, Neil would have sworn his deafness had never been cured.
A car turned into the driveway--another source of silence but for the low moan of tires on concrete. The vehicle stopped mere yards from Neil's chair. A muscular, casually dressed young man emerged.
"Sorry I'm late, Gramps. Are you ready?"
Neil accepted his grandson's help in rising. "You're looking good," the old man said.
"You will, too, Gramps. Come on. The clinic's expecting you."
