The Speech I Never Dreamed Of Giving
12 years ago, I received an email, a simple inquiry: asking if I would come back? It was a long time, a great many years, since I'd last walked those school corridors. The very same ones where I first learned how to sign my name, where I sat cross-legged on the cold floor, carried away on stories, where I'd count off the minutes until recess, and sometimes, inexplicably enough, where I didn't want the bell to ring at all.

The Pale Eye of Bethel Moor. Honorable Mention in Leave the Light On Challenge.
By the time I got to Bethel the sun was already gone, and the place felt cold. Nothing moved out there. Nothing grew. It wasn’t dead, more like it had stopped living. Some places just carry a kind of sadness in them, like the land itself had just given up. Bethel was one of those places.
