Thank you, Tony. An excellent tale. One can definitely tell this is a story rooted in the Southern US past from the language. Your narration was wonderful and so well fit the story.

This is a story that has stuck in my mind since first I read it years ago. It is so vividly painted in words like "jaloosies" that it brings images clearly to the mind's eye. Like the house the title hides it's true nature. Thanks for bringing this one Mr Microphone. A clumsy tounge would have ruined it. 👵🏻👨🏿‍🌾🥀🏚

Disturbing, gripping, vivid narration. Know the tale by heart, you make it play out in front of our eyes. Masterful as always. Thank you, Tony.

Ugh! The many refferences to the word "negro" makes me so angry about the history of the US. Why would anyone 's race or color be necessary to point out, except to "Other" them? No bad feelings for you Tony! I'm glad you chose something historicaly accurate. It gives one pause.

I have questions Was homer gay? Did Ms Emily poison him- and if so, why?

I always prefered Faulkner's short stories to his novels. His story "That Evening Sun" is even more disturbing than this one.
