A Simple Place in Time - by Barbara Selyem

 

"An arrow on a crossroad fence points the way to Comertown, MT, and the railroad siding marks the place. The houses are gone now some moved, some burned, some slumped silently in thigh-high grass next to farm implements long hidden and forgotten.

There is an old, weathered railcar with broken windows and a few frayed curtains. A concrete stairway with massive posts sits unattached next to lilac bushes. 

There are no businesses, no schools, and no churches; only a few shells of abandoned buildings remain. The grain elevator once a stately symbol of a prosperous community rests in ashes on its foundation. "  DK photo's
