Fiction Friday: So Close, Yet So Far
Friday Fictioneers photo prompt. Copyright Adam Ickes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The ram in the barn office didn’t look anything like the baby goats he bottle fed as a boy on Aunt Vera’s farm. Ted’s phone rang and he stepped outside for a better signal. He turned back around in time to bear the brunt of the ram’s rush in his stomach.
“Oof!”
“Baa!”
Ted fell, dropping his phone. As the ram gathered himself for another assault, Ted ran for dear life. Safely in the crook of the nearest tree, he watched the ram demolish his phone. He looked longingly at the house 100 yards off. So close, yet so far.

Clint The Elder
This is Clint, our 13-year old Labrador Retriever. I never did figure out what he was looking at. I stood right by him looking up and I didn’t see anything. Out of the corner of my eye, I thought I saw his tail wag, maybe as in “Ha! Made you look!”
Silly dog! (Or is that silly me?)
Ooh, now that’s interesting . . .
It's a long story ...
