Clay Carter

Most of my happiest memories had been with my granny and at that house. To see Annie there, laughing with my granny was the happiest one of all. To have been able to give her a piece of her past not only thrilled her but me. She had to see not all of me was a jerk.

“Are you going to the big cookout tomorrow?” Annie asked.

I’d forgotten my granny even mentioned that. Why the city of Carterville even pretended to hold an election was a fraud within itself. The only officers in the whole county were members of families where the roots on the old family tree ran deep in the Carterville soil, and the money ran even deeper. But to keep up with the facade of a real election, the candidates held a giant cookout for the entire population of the town the weekend before every county election.

“I don’t think I have much choice. I’ve got to be the proud son.” Even I noted the sarcasm in my voice. Proud and son were never two words my brain wanted to connect. However, pretending had been the one trait my father had taught me.

“I take it you don’t like your dad?”

“He’s not in my top ten of favorite people.”

“Your granny is super.”

“Yeah, she is.”

Granny was the best part of my family, but I couldn’t see how Annie felt that way. It was no doubt she knew who Annie’s dad was and made a conscious decision not to tell her.
