Family Matters
“Hola! Anyone inside?”
There were no smells of frying chicken or beans being reheated.
“It’s your Tito,” the elderly man continued.
Someone arrived to sit at one of the picnic tables nearby.
“Ran into your madre. Said you bought a food truck. Set up in my end of town. Sorry your restaurant closed down. Covid’s a beast.”
He shuffled around the vehicle, returning to the truck’s open window.
