The Next Adventure.
Stayed up late last night reading "A Man Who Was Almost a Man" by Richard Wright as well as a story by James Baldwin called "Sonny's Blues". The first one centered around a kid who wanted a gun. He convinced his mother to give him $2 to buy it "for his dad". Everything was good until he snuck out early in the morning with the gun, shot it, and killed a mule who belonged to his employer. His heart must've sank as he panicked.
I think mine did too when I woke up this morning to the news that we have a GOP controlled sentate and house now. It may be good though, I really want to see what happens. I want to see if the sh*t really hits the fan now.
The second is about a school teacher and his brother who is a junkie.
