Take Me Back to Summerton, Arizona

She was certainly the most beautiful woman I would ever see. Not appearing to age at all, the young lady's name was Nefertiti. As my guide, Nef gently took me by the hand. I saw a beautiful town where anyone else would see just sand. There were no children in the town, but the adults did not age. This was a place where the book of time turned no page. The redolence of orange groves permeated the desert air. Residents went about their daily business without a care. I have to return to this place where nobody has to die. This is a huge task, but it is something I have to try. based on the novella "Now and Forever, Somewhere a Band is Playing" by the late Ray Bradbury.
