The Egypt Game

Zilpha Kealtey Snyder

Nobody knows exactly what the the meaning of  A-Z is. His name was unknown by the inhabitants of a large university town in California. He was nicknamed the ‘professor’ by the community of Orchard Avenue. He owned a small dusty shop on the corner of a road. It was full of various antiques, covering every shelf there was. His black ominous eyes followed you around the shop. He was like a lonely shadow lurking around the cheerful Orchard Avenue.

After working hard and long the old man spotted three young children playing in his storage yard. An African-American young boy, and two girls. They frolicked through the weeds, laughing, moving statues and cleaning the area. The storage yard was speckless. The professor was amazed,but it was reminiscent of something. It reminded him of Egypt.
