THE BULL :::::::
It will have to take several parts as it is not a short story by any stretch of the imagination (no pun intended):
Several years ago when i was young and naive (idiotic and stupid
some may say) I decided to come to france and fall in love. It was one
of the best decisions I've ever made! Up there with going to california
with a guitar, some clothes, and an aching in my ... Or "let's see if
my new VW Golf with new GT radial tires can take a dead man's curve on
Chestnut hill road!"
Arriving in france i was shown the farm where
my then girlfriends grandparents live. It is charming, old, looks like
it was made by hand with materials lying around the area. The 2 meter
high wall of empty wine bottles the length of the farm should've given
me a hint. I was being an adventurous kinda guy and never having been
to a farm in Europe before, quite impressed. The tiny old renault 6
jelopy that a cousin, sister of my then girlfriend, girlfriend, grandpa
and grandma climbed into to go 2 kilometers away in was the first car
that grandma and grandpa ever bought! They picked it up used in 97 ! I
as happy to go even all stuffed in because the smell of the outhouse
was getting to me no matter where i went near the farm. Where were we
going? I had no clue. Noone told me, I was tired of asking questions
all the time and I was just trying to enjoy the ambiance and
experience.
INTERLUDE :
I AM NOT A COUNTRY BOY! My mother, father, and
grandmother all lived a significant time in Manhattan. That's as in
"New York", Which is still a city quite a bit larger 20 years ago than
today's PARIS! So you'll excuse me if i insiniuate rather directly that
most of France is still living in the medieval ages! So we'll chalk my
negative attitude up as a fish out of water type of situation. ok?
Anyway. We arrived at "the field". What was in the field? No it wssn't just a bunch of cows! It was a herd of devil driven camoflaged in pure white sun glreaming skin, two meter high weighing several tons each, out for my blood like rabid dogs in a tragic italian painting portraying Hell (or paris if you prefer) at the height of Plague, beasts!
Papy (grandpa) turned off the electric fence and all chaos resounded its trumpets at the awakening of the apocalypse as....

Unless i get feedback i'm going to save it for the book... : p
