For fifteen
years my
family had a
cottage.
During the
height of the
Cold War my
father
prepared us
for entry into
the nuclear
age. One
night there
was a
thunderstorm
over the lake.
I woke up to
find my father
standing in
front of a
window, as
lightning
flashed/silhouetted
him. I asked
him what was
wrong. He
told me he
was afraid the
Bomarc
missiles in
North Bay
had exploded.
I hugged his
waist; he
patted my
head.
Everything
will be ok. |
