Wild West - Part 24 - 5 Minute freewrite challenge
Wild West - Part 24
“Yeah. We should. We should bring him along,” like James, Tom puffed the cigarette smoke.
“How old is he anyway?”
“He’s 3 now. I left shortly after he was born – a week after maybe. I carved him a little elephant out of wood before I left,” Tom smiled when he remembered the little wooden figurine and his voice began to shake with every word, “I wanted him to grow big and strong – like an elephant. Stupid, I know,” he smiled again.
“Not at all, son. You want all the best for him, like I wanted all the best for you,” they caught each other’s eyes and the atmosphere quickly turned very emotional. None of them were used to discussing such topics, so James made sure to quickly change the subject, “eggs are done.”
"elephant"
