A Compendium of Short Stories

 Excerpt  :

Wooden benches fixed permanently along the edge of the esplanade provided seats to take in the breathtaking scenery; Harry’s store enticed and beckoned from across the boulevard with twinkling lights and the promise of a cozy atmosphere.   
When I entered Harry’s shop one late afternoon, a little tinkle from a bell, nudged by the opening door, alerted him to a customer coming in. A lingering smell of pipe tobacco and coffee, a warm atmosphere, and little lights over the displays created an ambience that invited one to linger, to browse ,and to take ones time. It was a comfortable place and I hoped it would always remain a hide-out for me.
