“What did you say? A
stroke?” I ask with concern and confusion.
“Not literally. If you
haven’t noticed it’s hot and sticky here, makes you feel like
you’re a stick of butter melting. I can promise that you don’t want to
be out here in the heat of the day, but if you don’t get to moving, you will
be.”
“I’m not doing
any of it Gran. This is not what I signed up to
do.”
“Sugar, the moment you
disrespected me was the moment I knew it was time to teach you a lesson or two
about life. So pick up those boots and march your ass right in there.” Holy
shit! Gran cursed!
“What? Shit ain’t
a bad word. Look out there. There’s plenty of it,” she says pointing to
the pasture. As I turn back to Gran I notice my cellphone lodged in a pile of
crap.
“Gran, my phone! It
landed in a pile of crap.”
“Well, brush it
off.”
“Oh, no, I’m not
touching that and now I need a new phone. How am I going to talk to Lauren and my
other friends without a phone?”
“I have one in the house.
Now quit your whining and get started on those
stalls.”
Reluctantly, I follow Gran into
the barn. Hearing a crazy sound, I have no idea what I’m about to do, but I
pray it doesn’t have anything to do with a cow’s
tatas.
Casey Peeler grew up in North Carolina and still
lives there with her husband and daughter.
Growing up Casey wasn't an avid reader or
writer, but after reading Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neal Hurston
during her senior year of high school, and multiple Nicholas Sparks'
novels, she found a hidden love and appreciation for reading. That love
ignited the passion for writing several years later, and her writing style combines
real life scenarios with morals and values teenagers need in their daily
lives.
When Casey isn't writing, you can find her
near a body of water listening to country music with a cold beverage and a great
book.
