Lydia and Lofty: Drawing the Shade

By Thomas M. McDade

Drastic changes in the lives of Lydia, Lofty, and Rustin, due to Lofty’s auto and writing passions, a new hire at Hughie’s Diner and visitors from Rhode Island. Same Lydia and Lofty sketched in "Lydia: An Introduction" and "Lofty: An Introduction" and "Lydia Lofty Hughie & Rustin" and “Lofty a Recollection.” This story also stands on its own but why not take time to read the aforementioned titles? This is the last piece crafted from a 9,600 word story accepted by Typeface a couple of years ago then abruptly scuttled two weeks later. “Lydia and Lofty, Drawing The Shade was previously published by Thrice Fiction Magazine. The title in that publication was "Lofty and the Saints."
