Wild west - part 4
It appeared as if he was riding into nothingness. But roughly 5 miles later, there it was.
A patch of cultivated land. A field of corn, dancing softly in the light summer breeze.
Tom kicked Magnum between the ribs and galloped his way to the property.
Hidden amidst the corn and crop fields was a small cottage, made entirely out of wood, with the roof forming a distinct upside down V-shape.
Outside, a man, dressed in all black, his hand ready to draw the gun from its holster. He had known someone was coming.
Tom pulled on the reins and Magnum came to a stop, no further than 30 feet from the cowboy, then lifted himself on his hind legs and let out a mighty neigh.
“Get off my property!” Shouted James, his fingers hovering over his revolver.
“Father,” said Tom as calm as a millpond, nodding downward at James in a greeting manner.
James squinted his eyes to try and make sense of the silhouette against the sun.
"Tom?"
"Corn"

an idea for a story you'd love to read,
a journey to the unknown my keyboard will lead.

Thanks! :D
Are these edible? If yes, how much for a pound?
Would you eat a unicorn? Blasphemious!
I would. Then use its horn as a toothpick.
Svashta, you're worse than Voldemort 😂
I see you are not afraid of He who shall not be named.
A ballsy move on your part. But then again, you are replying to my comments, which is perhaps even more an act of bravery.
I would tread lightly from this day on if I were you.
Svashta, in case you wonder why Voldy doesn't have a nose, you should be aware that I chopped it off from his gracious face with my own teeth. My beloved bananafish appreciated it, when I fed them spreading the small nuggets on their pound. We'll see who will tread lightly. (I'll comment your posts more often ..lol!)
I'll admit, I would've eaten the nose myself. Quite a delicacy.
As for your bananafish, did they get that name because of their shape, or their taste?
Hopefully, his fingers stopped hovering once he realized that it was Tom....
Or perhaps began to hover more wildly? ;)
Oh yes! Hovering wildly like a drone with a short circuit would be interesting!
In a snowstorm.
While transporting a jellyfish.
