wise words [jed&cash blitz]

when he was just a boy
he expected the world
but it flew away from his reach
so he ran away in his sleep

He skipped along the gully, singing a completely made up song about the lizard named Juice in his pocket; "A sippa my, sippa my Juice, gotta be careful, he'll get loose-" he paused, not sure what else rhymed with juice as he tip-toed across a log in his cowboy boots.

"Oh!"

He jumped off the end of the log, landing in a big pose, "Can't bring em in, Mom'll whip my caboose!" He laughed to himself, stopping only when he saw Solomen in the distance. It was no secret that Cash loved all the animals; he had to name everything, including the entire herd of cattle. If you're wondering if he was even able to distinguish which was which, the answer is yes, thank you very much.

He raced after Solomen the horse, who, by the way, carried Cash's big brother Jed, but that's less important. By the time he reached the mouth of the barn, he was out of breath and a small sheen of sweat had formed on his brow. He took off his hat and wiped his face with his shirt tail.

His first thought was to untie Solomen and ride him away; if it was someone else like Sofie, he would've. But Jeb probably would've chased him down, and his noogies hurt a lot worse than Sofie's. So, instead, he peered in at his brother, with plans of sneaking up on him.

"Okay Cash, I know you're there."

He frowned.

"How'd ya know it was me?"

dreamed of paradise
every time he closed his eyes
in the night, the stormy night
away he'd fly
