In a good man is hard to find, a family goes on a trip to
Florida. I have taken many trips on my life but none to
florida or anywhere in the south. The farthest south ive been is
Arkansas. The family going to
florida consists of 3 kids, mom and dad, and a grandma whos only son is the father. Recently before the trip a criminal going by the nickname “The Misfit”, was on the run from the cops. The grandma is scared about possibly running into this Misfit guy.“The Misfit”, was on the run from the cops. The grandma is scared about possibly running into this Misfit guy.
Grandma says “What would you do if this fellow, the Misfit, caught you?”
Well on their way to florida from
Georgia, or in any trip, there is always someone wanting to eat. Well they stop at Red Sammy’s Famous BBQ. I have been to restaurants on trips before with dancing and music going on at all times.
The grandma put in a dime in the machine and “the Tennessee Waltz” played.
I remember the old juke boxes in some places we ate on our way back too. They were pretty cool. We ate in a diner in
Silver
City that was set up old fashioned and people sang to the juke box. It was pretty awesome.
After Red Sammy’s the grandma tells some stories to help keep the kids quiet. One story was about a plantation she remembered. I remember seeing the old plantations on my way to
Arkansas. The fields were full of corn and wheat with barns and some animals. One story the grandma told consisted of a house with a secret panel. The dad didn’t want to waste time though.
The children began to yell and scream that they wanted to see house with the secret panel.
I remember times my brother would whine about wanting to see something and cry and pout about it. Down the road though they wreck and some guys show up to help them. Well the grandma realizes the one of them is The Misfit. When she realizes this she begs to be spared and let go.
The old lady screams “You’ve got good blood! I know u wouldn’t shoot a lady! I know you come from nice people! Pray! Jesus, you ought not to shoot a lady. I’ll give you all the money I’ve got!”
Well the misfit ends up shooting them all and that ends the story.
