These men on the porch of C.C. Bess’s store would likely still be at their game of dominoes if the country store had not burned.  Until that fire, their game had gone on, almost uninterrupted, for years, winters near the stove inside the store and summers on the porch. 

The fire came during the night, sending bursts of flames into the dark sky like signal flares, calling neighbors from sleep.  Those neighbors came, but it was too late.  So they stood away from the heat, occasionally exchanging snatches of memories, and watched as a local landmark, a rural gathering place, disappeared forever. 

​Nobody is exactly sure when the domino game started nor does anyone recall who won the final match.  The scoring stick burned with the store.
