“Noah’s Ark” Was Gone
Author: siggy
“Noah’s Ark” was gone. It was a big boat, over forty feet long — really a small yacht — that sat, raised up high on a platform, in a meadow at the crest of a hill. We passed it every time we drove home from town. I started calling the boat “Noah’s Ark”. It was a landmark. I have lived in this town ten years and my wife even longer, and she always remembered that boat sitting there. It stood, surrounded by high weeds, for years–maybe several decades. She told me that the owner and his family had at one time lived in it, down in Florida. He died recently. Now The Ark was gone. I wonder what will happen to it.
