The mission: Your story in Concord, MA
"Hello!" He says, "I'm Ephraim. Are you new here? I’ve never seen such a well-built female before."
Weren’t gray squirrels as common in Concord as they were in Worcester? Either Ephraim was a flirt, or he was calling you fat.
"Sure!" He hops off his branch. "Follow me!"
