John was in the middle of a phone call with his mother when the message appeared. He listened to her concerns about her garden. He knew what was coming when he received the email. He simply nodded and grunted into the phone.

He finished the call. He sat down on the porch steps, the evening air cool against his skin. He looked up at the darkening sky and watched the first stars begin to appear. He took a deep breath.
