Five White Egrets

by Margaret Allan

Alone now in his little house on the island the old man imagines the five white birds that fly by daily as his family who have also flown from the nest. Things are seldom what they seem and he is convinced that what, in his mind should be, is. It is well that he does not know, that murder, baby trading, adultery and many of the sins condemned in the Good Book walk with his children as they journey through life.
