Pete And Pete — Complete

The sun didn’t set in Wellsville so much as it melted —slowly, like a cherry popsicle left on a dashboard. And on this particular evening, the two Petes found themselves on opposite ends of a problem neither could solve alone.

Here’s a short piece inspired by The Adventures of Pete & Pete , capturing its surreal, nostalgic, small-town summer vibe. The Completion of the Incomplete

Then Little Pete stood up. “We have to complete it.”
