CRUSHED

โ€œXavier, did you run the tractor today?โ€

โ€œAyuh, Ma, I did. Ainโ€™t Pa gonna be pleased?โ€

โ€œDarn right he will be if youโ€™s remembered to separate the heads beforehand. Your Pa, he hates it when the brains spill out and muck up the field.โ€

โ€œAyuh, I remembered, donโ€™ worry. I even removed the intestines.โ€

โ€œYour Pa will be proud, Xavier!โ€

โ€œAinโ€™t that Bessie, Ma? Looks like Paโ€™s back, with them new prospectors. I wonder what theyโ€™ll do when they realize we conned them!โ€

โ€œOh theyโ€™ll be crushed, son!โ€

Xavier and his mother laughed together.

Hi! I'm Sam, an 18 year old certified mad chick who likes to imagine that she can write. I live in India, a colourful, diverse country which is sadly getting polluted everyday by more and more violence....something no citizen can be proud of. I enjoy reading-basically horror, watching romcoms and horror flicks(yes, again horror, my favourite being Sinister- its psychotic just like me), eating( food, oh yes, I love foooooood), attending college, and most of all(oh, do stay and listen a while longer) I love animals. I have periodic urges to own and look random "pets". Currently I wish to own a baby elephant, which I will name Thama. I write to express what I feel, to keep that small creative bone alive in my body, and to make readers happy. I hope you like what I write!

  19. What a family! You look so sweet never thought you would write like this.
