“Synopsis"

This is a story about a real Midwestern town that actually became extinct. My wife was one of the very last families that lived there. I always wondered what makes a town go extinct. So, I filled in the blanks.  

This town started out hustling and bustling as a local farming and outdoor sporting community. Life was great as families grew. Population gained. Business was good.

 UNTIL those strangers came to town.

 For example, when the two transients rolled into town on the railroad rails with a handcart. That is a small rail car powered by the two people pulling up and down on the handheld type of mechanism that powered the cart down the rails. These two hobos, bum of guys, rolled into town for one reason and one reason only. To con the hell out of everyone in the town before making a quick getaway.

Then there was the Arsonist, the Hunter, the Fake Farmer, and the High School Gym Teacher. These and many other strangers changed this town into the lost city of Lily.
