02.Story by Cris, THE YOUNG AND PRODIGIOUS T.S. SPIVET( short 16/50 )

THE YOUNG AND PRODIGIOUS T.S. SPIVET( short 16/50 )

That ignorant goats.

Don't worry, I've got it.

Right.So this used to be coyote chow.

It's okay, Stinky, Don't worry.I am not gonna hurt you.Don't worry.

Maybe dying on a ranch from a snakebite, is more befitting than a self inflicted gunshot going to the head by an old rifle in a cold barn.

Fixing on kissing that poison rope?

We still got our bussiness day,isn't it?

That was the first time my father ever patted me on the back, but I couldn't tell who was to brush me off, to reprimand me or a substitute for a hug.

I would go to Washington DC tomorrow.

I was a researcher, scientist, and they needed me there.

If I stayed here, I end up turning around in circles, like these bats.

I only do the echo of myself.
