driving down a country road at sunset,

a gravel driveway on the right side of the car leading up a hill to a modest, white house.

a woman sits on the stoop staring vacantly into space with a lit cigarette in her hand. 

at the base of the driveway, a small sign is staked into the grass. the sign simply consists of an arrow pointing up the driveway and just a single word... 

funeral.
