Herman McMurphy lived a life of solitude deep within the hills of eastern Tennessee. Unwed and a single descendant from parents whom perished two decades prior made him no stranger to isolation. His home was primitive, simple. Most sheds or garages rivaled it in size. To most he was a miser, codger, a scrooge, a misanthrope even. People tend to cast out or fabricate innuendos about what they have no knowledge of. Ignorant assumptions from a cruel society.
One would only have to ask the children of Plantation Children’s Hospital, where every third Thursday Mr. McMurphy would make the seventy mile journey from his house. The nurses were amazed the aged man in the just as aged Nissan wagon; the last, and more than likely final large purchase he was to make; returned at ten o’clock month after month. Not a minute earlier or a minute later. Ten o’clock on the nose.
