PLACE
Greenfield
What this place is to you
The mill town that stopped being a mill town where your parents have been for thirty one years, which you can walk in your head street by street in a way you cannot walk the place you actually live.
How it pulls on you
It used to be scenery, the place you are from, and something you were faintly condescending about at twenty two. Since May it has a question attached to it, whether you go back, and you have started reading the real estate listings there, which you have never done.
