Picnic At Hanging Rock Novels & Stories

As I reached for my glass of water, I noticed all the alcohol was gone from the table. “You didn’t have to stop drinking.” I said to Piercy in the mind-link. “Just getting everything around for the BBQ. Got to bring out games and the outdoor shit. It will be cooler, but a nice fire will be good. We usually have one anyway.” Piercy leaned over and whispered in my ear. “We are a team, love.” kissing my cheek, he leaned back and kept eating. “We are going to site in some guns.

There are a few people fishing for Catfish along the edge of the pond hoping to snag a big one during the party, but most everyone is just hanging out talking to each other near the waters edge or dancing to music that can still be heard from one of the trucks. There's a small group of people playing Cornhole off to the side, across from Cornhole is a small table full of snacks, while hotdogs and burgers are being cooked on the nearby grill

It was a picnic spot during day time and a lovers nest at night. Everyone in town loved it and it had existed even before Gina was born. Her parents and almost every older person in the town had been there.
