1 word story:

Mrs. J sitting on her front porch on a cool, crisp autumn morning. The smoke from the California wild fires is nearly gone.
“Most days, we have our battle born blue skies back. Sure do love this time of year.” (she talks to herself sometimes)
Neighbor girl Jessica rides up on her scooter. She drops it on the lawn and runs up this old driveway all torn to chunks by the cottonweed trees.
“Miss Jackson, you hear there’s going to be a slaughterhouse across the street? Won’t that be cool? It’s like a big Halloween store where you can get costumes, and masks, and there’s a haunted house.”
“I didn’t hear about that, Jessy. That sounds great. About time there’s something for you kids to do ‘round here.”
