Your Eyes in Stars
Author(s): M. E. Kerr
Maybe there is someone in your life right now who will change your world without ever knowing it, and possibly without ever knowing you. Slater Carr was such a person: a prisoner whose nightly bugle renditions of Taps from The Hill held a small upstate New York town in thrall. Two girls, new friends, one an outsider from Germany, discovered the boy who was a lifer at Cayuta Prison. "How easily we talked of Slater . . . imagining his life before The Hill. I think we talked about him ore than we cared about him." Jessie and Elisa also talked a lot about Wolfgang Schwitter, the rich preppie who drove his convertible with the top down, even in winter. Time and times would changed them all . . . and so would what Slater did one Halloween. "You think about Slater," Jessie said. "I gave him to you." A time would come when she would remember saying that to Elisa and regret it with all her heart.
