KID ON THE RUN Home to eleven-year-old orphan, Otis Sutter, is a box in an alley along the Mississippi River at St. Louis, Missouri. Men find the boy's home and few possessions, destroy everything, and send him on his way. It is November and a snow storm is building. Starved, cold, and no place to go, Otis becomes sick and collapses in an alley near the wharf. An intoxicated old ex-frontiersman, and buffalo hunter, Alfred Spire, finds the boy and is faced with the dilemma of walking on and minding his own business or helping the lad. This is a poignant and heart-warming story about two lonely characters and the circumstances that draw them together. SST-0054 $3.95 |
