Legacy

Legacy Bookshop was kaput. For 42 years Sarah maternally operated this quaint literary haven. She saw her baby flourish, albeit modestly. Putting all your eggs in one basket might pay dividends, it seemed. But rapacity had at last intruded upon Sarah's Eden. Her landlord bluntly informed her that he could get $700,000 extra for the space. And he would. MBA vs. MFA once more. Instead of sitting shiva, Sarah performed final inventory. Melancholy ruled until she recorded the sale of Intriguing Young Poets of 1976. Inside this archaic anthology resides "Idyllic Winter" by one Sarah Thomsen. Her legacy shall continue.
