Items related to Real Things
When they were teenagers, the four sons and a daughter of Lloyd and Margaret Thompson presented their father with an illuminated manuscript listing "Lloyd's Commandments" as they remembered them from constant repetition - sometimes with special emphasis, as one of the sons says at the presentation. The commandments symbolize the hedge of protection that Lloyd and Margaret had grown around these bright, tough kids with the "lick-the-world expression they couldn't seem to help having." Then the youngest brother, the smartest and toughest of them, is coming home late for dinner when he accepts a ride from one of his father's employees, that ends in a fiery crash and the driver's death. The disaster and its consequences are not fully played out until Lloyd's funeral more than thirty years later.
