Old Man Jarrett wasn’t a recluse, nor was he that old. In fact, the handsome gentleman often fraternized with the locals at community events. He simply adored his vast acreage and felt no reason to travel. The majority of each day was occupied tending to a truly majestic butterfly garden while sipping coffee from a thermos.

There's much to gain from seeing the world. I don't regret Jarret's choice, although it would have been nice for him to return to his butterflies after seeing the world. But that's life. Good story. Comments are closed.
