A Story

The stocks! You don't say dear Marissa! yes friend Jane but they let him keep his ipod, they downloaded they Bible for him to listen too while he is in, well I say it was a long time coming Marissa, after all he was constantly speeding up and down the road just terrifying the children and did you see what he had on his fence post last Sunday? A strangled goose! Its sad Jane that he was let in to the neighborhood, but one really must pity his wife and children,
yes Marissa, sad, sad Tam has been putting up with him long enough, I hope the stay in the stocks will let him know we won't put up with any more of his violence, Jane nodded her head and shook out her apron, the remaining corn flying into the air, the chickens scratching around the porch leaping up to catch the bits that fell to them, Marissa dug around in her purse and producing a set of keys and a pocket book, well Jane how much do I owe you for the shuttle ride, gas is just horrid nowadays, and now that my car is fixed I won't have to take the shuttle anymore just plug the dearie in and Ta-Da no gas required, I can't believe they haven't converted the shuttles over to Electric yet, with the extra daylight and all you would think they would get around to it, yes replied Jane but the congress has tied up the president for at least a month, they sent him off and won't let him back till its over, that's $1000 dearie I'm headed down to the mega mart myself after the sun sets, whats the point in sleeping when they only give you 4 hours in a night! Well well here you are and Marissa handed over the sum, I've got to run, I can hear the cow mooing from three blocks away and the hay must finish regenerating before I am done milking, chat at you later dear Jane, goodbye dear Marissa.
