Quote from a online-published essay: http://www.drunkmonkeys.us/non-fiction/2015/5/12/ohio-native-sun-by-florentina
“One day, when Tessa and I were in high school, we met two African American boys just before the sun had fallen completely behind the horizon. The gray skies around us still had whispers of red, orange and purple. We stood in the town%u2019s center, where there was one lone traffic light and a few commercial buildings: the U.S. Post Office, the Corner Feed and Seed store, and a random knick knack shop. I had barely just learned and forgotten the boys%u2019 names when suddenly the lights from a police car illuminated us. I looked over at Tessa, nervously.
The exchange between the policeman and us was brief. He told us to go home, and we followed his orders. There was no point in arguing that it was at least a couple of hours before curfew, that we had done nothing wrong, and that we were just two teenage girls who had met two teenage boys. Instead, we nodded and walked home. I had never seen our two companions before and didn%u2019t know where home was for them, but I knew it wasn%u2019t there in our town, Enon.”
