Plucking the Peaches by Kris P. Kreme<\/p><\/div>\n

A stranger bearing the bizarre gift of fresh peaches steps into the life of one suburban family this Christmas. His influence is as instant as the reflex to catch one of the peaches he tosses each of them and soon father, mother, and finally daughter will be doing whatever he suggests.<\/p>\n

It’s the time to visit home for the holidays, and for one mysterious man, he doesn’t care if it isn’t his home he visits.<\/p>\n

A Chance happening might seem an everyday occurrence but not when the mysterious man named Chance happens to be behind whatever happens. It’s Christmas time and nowhere is better to spend the holidays than with family at home. Chance just might not care which family it is, because it certainly isn’t his own.<\/p>\n

As father Felix reads the newspaper, his lovely wife Jane cooking in the nearby kitchen first notices the odd stranger in their driveway, approaching the house and seeming to be holding a small bowl of something.<\/p>\n

Even daughter Madison looks up from her texting at the revelation that this man, whoever he is, seems to come bringing fresh peaches, definitely adding to his unusual presence there. As Jane seems worried, Felix simply brushes off the concern and heads out to check on the man.<\/p>\n

Chance has always had a knack for handling fresh fruit and one toss of a peach to Felix has the man somewhat dazed, an open book about his family inside, about details he ordinarily wouldn’t share with a stranger like Chance.<\/p>\n

Believing Chance to be an old buddy, Felix is only too happy to let him go on inside and see the girls while he offers to clean off the road salt from Felix’ car in the driveway.<\/p>\n

As surprised and concerned as Jane is to see a man walking right in their home like he knows them, she’s more surprised by his tossing her a fresh peach from the bowl he carries, and soon her daughter Madison is the most shocked of all by just how calm and accepting her mom suddenly is, by the perverse way Chance keeps throwing peaches at her chest, and by the escalating way her mother is suddenly working against her best interests.<\/p>\n

Can anyone resist the urge to pluck some fresh peaches around Christmas, particularly when the tastiest peaches of all happen to be an attractive mother and her rebellious teenage daughter? Find out and take a real Chance during the eleventh day of Kris-mas.<\/p>\n
