Authors note:
Historical fiction based on a few facts, is entirely in the hands of the reader to experience the time and place for the setting of a short story. I can't tell you how to taste the dust, or the food on the table. I can't tell you what the air smells like, or what the humans without a proper bath smell like. I also can't tell you exactly what you see with your eyes I certainly can't tell you what you might hear standing or sitting on the porch of the farm house in Texas. And most importantly, I can't tell you what one might think as he or she experiences life on a farm without water.
What I can tell you is what it feels like to be hungry; but I won't because you need to experience that feeling of knots in your tummy.
If you enjoyed the story, write a short review telling me how you felt about the plight of our fellow Americans.

PS, I was ten years old when I first learned that Dwight Eisenhower was president. I also remember my older cousin who came back from the Korean War through Texas. I heard him tell what an awful dry dusty state it was. Of course I had no idea where Texas was. I never forgot that story.
I've a friend who lives in Texas. My Philippine wife and I are moving back from the tropics to America. He wants us to move to Texas. Who knows the future.
