Dax was used to the obsessive organization. When he first came to stay with Mr. Cordova who lived in an old farm house with plenty of room for boarders he noticed that all of his belongings were meticulously placed in some sort of container. There was a special place, nook, or box for all of his things and Mr. Cordova had boxes and containers stacked everywhere. Mr. Cordova had boxes of all sizes and colors relegated to storing everything from food to tools. His food was stored neatly in small boxes of varying colors, some in a large white box, some stacked neatly in rows.

He kept his tools outside along with other things for tending the garden and each had its own small container which was stacked inside a large box in the yard. There were other containers outside which would eventually cause Dax serious problems. (more…)

Ever since I can remember my little red-headed brother has been hyper. Up until the age of 10 he had nine emergency room happenings. I can still see the skin peeling off of his little baby shin with his little white toddler shoes on. He had put his leg into the bathroom sink and turned on the scalding hot water. This was our first trip to the Emergency Room.

My parents used to have to tie him up on a long rope in the backyard to a tree. We would be outside with him, my mom sitting on the back porch cement step watching him and playing with him. I can remember sitting in the sandbox with him and playing. All of a sudden he’d get up to run, and just like a dog, fall down when he ran out of rope and scream his head off! You see, even though my mom was right there watching him, she was not fast enough to catch him on his wild whims to get up and run away! One of the neighborhood ladies could not stand my mother. She thought this was child abuse. Even though I was only 10-years-old or 11-years-old, I told my mom to ignore her as it was better that my little brother was safe instead of getting run over by a car on the road. (more…)

Teegan squinted as he shielded his eyes from the mid day suns. Circon was a mostly uninhabited planet and the one spaceport that served its only large city was always congested and filled with the exhaust of hundreds of ships as they came and went with their live cargo. Two suns burned brightly in the sky making Teegan’s job even hotter.

“Get that Jargel onboard” called one of the senior officers from the platform below the ship.” Teegan pulled the rope looped around the neck of a large lumbering creature that wobbled slightly as it loped up the gangplank.

“We don’t have all day” Kane snapped next as he thread his way between squawking crates, “I want those crates of bird looking things loaded next.”

“Biig, baad, Maa, Maa, Maarvin,” taunted Billy the lamb, who bleated and laughed as he hopped in circles around the larger bighorn sheep. Marvin’s eyes were clamped tightly shut and he pretended not to notice the youngster. Little Billy tip-hoofed behind Marvin and butted him as hard as he could.

“Aaarrgh,” screamed Marvin falling forward onto his humongous horns, his hind legs flailing in the air.

“What ya scared of Maa, Maa, Maarvin? You’re a full-grown raa, raa, ram,” laughed Billy. “You shouldn’t be scared of anything.”

Marvin cracked his eyelids, but only a slit. Although he knew there was only one Billy, to Marvin it looked as if two lambs were rolling on the ground in fits of laughter. The spinning mountain made Marvin nauseous, and he locked his eyes closed again as he resituated himself on all four legs.

Skydancer awoke early, just a little before sunrise.  The cedar tree he slept under protected him from the rain the night before, but now water was dripping off the leaves of the trees.  Remnants from the rain the night before.  The sky was gray the sun was just barely coming over the horizon.  In a couple of hours it would be high in the sky.

Skydancer realized he was thirsty, so he walked to the stream for a drink of cool water.  Along the way, there were squirrels chasing each other.  Their tails straight back as they ran up and down the pine trees in the pasture.  When he got to the stream, he walked to the water’s edge to take a drink.  The water tasted so good and as he swallowed, the water cooled his parched throat.  The sun was shining now, but could barely be seen gleaming through the leaves of the trees around the stream.  The trees were thick here around the stream.  The water was always in the shade.  Skydancer didn’t believe he ever seen the water glistening from the sunlight.  He thought about that for a bit and then moved to a grassy spot to eat.  The squirrels were still chasing either and chattering, but Skydancer didn’t pay any attention to them; he was eating.  He spent the rest of the day as he spent most of his days.  Traveling around to different parts of the pasture.  Eating, watching the other animals that lived in the pasture.
