Garages: Where Stories Are Told

 


"We went out to the garage, an old wooden structure behind the house that looked like it was in a perpetual state of falling over. When I was younger and we would go to visit, I would spend a lot of time out beside the garage because there was always a hearty colony of doodle bugs there in the dirt... Pampaw had a chair at the back of the garage... He opened a drawer, took out a gray, boxy-looking thing with a crank, and set it on the workbench. He cranked it, flipped a switch, twisted a dial on the front of the box, and crackling country music began to tinkle out of the speaker." (pg. 6).
