nightfall on waltons mountain

 

"Goodnight John Boy."

"Goodnight Grampa."

"Goodnight Mary Ellen."

"Goodnight Maw."

"Goodnight little red haired girl, whatever your name is."

"It's Elizabeth. Goodnight Paw."

"Goodnight Jim Bob."

Silence.

"I said goodnight Jim Bob."

Silence.

"Jim Bob?"

More silence.

"Something's happened to Jim Bob."

Deepening silence.

"Jim Bob's missing."

Le silence du profond.

"Jim Bob's been murdered."

"Oh for crying out loud. You people. I'm not missing or murdered. I'm just trying to get some sleep and it's not easy with you hogs spending half the night hollering goodnight at each other."

Narrator's voice (John Boy looking back in adult life): Peace returned to Waltons' Mountain only when we had Jim Bob sectioned and told Mary Ellen she couldn't bring Amanda Knox for any more slumber parties."
