The steep road flattened off to a narrow driveway, nestled into the pines, the trees sprayed orange by the falling sun. I pulled the car to a stop, a faint ringing in my ears. I’m not used to silence. Quietness, yes, when the evening rush hour has died, and the roar of the motorway has calmed to a gentle hum. Not this, thick, tangible silence.

Blueberry Tea for Burglars
“One last chance, loser,” was my parole officer’s first words to me after the parole board let me out. “This time, you either get a job and stop pickpocketing, breaking and entering, burglarizing, mugging, robbing, taking from people and whatever else it is that you do, or its life in here for you,” My parole officer sneered.
