My hometown church’s WE HAVE FREE NARCAN sign’s third E has fallen. The letters are black and choppy. FRE. Last month’s O was gone for the event. SUP KITCHEN.
How many letters have never been put back in place? I tighten my grip on the steering wheel and keep driving.
After three years of teaching in Cincinnati Public Schools, Rachel Hapanowicz is currently attending George Mason University for her MFA in Fiction. She completed her undergraduate studies at the University of Virginia. Her works can be found at 50-Word Stories, wildscape. literary journal, and Spillwords. She thinks Sup Kitchen sounds cooler, anyway.
Both clever and crippling.
Well done, Rachel
I’ve seen signs with missing letters while driving thought the interstate highway over the years.
