Patrick was sixty-seven years old and...0 Comments 0 Shares 4 Views 0 Reviews

The White Snake of Mulberry StreetThe rain had not stopped for three days when Rosa Moretti found the snake in her storage room. It was curled in the corner behind a stack of tomato cans, its body a pale slash against the cracked concrete floor. Rosa stared at it for a long moment, then kicked the nearest box.
