Out Here in the Field

     He stood in the field looking around as the wind began to blow.  The smells it carried with it brought so many memories flooding back.  In an instant he relived them all.  Had it really been so long since he'd been back? 
     The land was there still for sale after so many years but the house was long gone.  He remembered every inch knew just where to dig.  Would his treasure still be there?  Had it been discovered when the house came down?
     Why had he waited so long to return for it?  The answer was, he hadn't needed to.  Things had been going quite well until recently.  Now he had only one chance to make things right.  One chance to be whole again. 
     Carefully he marked off each pace where the walls had been.  Finding his long lost hiding spot, he said a short prayer and began to dig.
