A Rhinestone Button
“Job watched them for a moment before tapping on the window. The coyotes looked up at him before trotting off.
Above them, crows darkened the sky. The crows were normally independent birds, sitting on fence posts or on roads in ones or twos. Job would see three or four gathered if there was a feast to be found: someone’s carelessly tossed container of McDonald’s fries, or the remains of a gopher hit by a truck and lying sadly by the side of the road. But this day the crows were flocking. They fl...ew over the drying hay in the field to land in the cottonwoods surrounding the house, cawing to one another, disappearing into the leaves. When Job went outside to watch them, to listen to their coarse song, the metallic scrape of the screen door sent them into the air in the hundreds.
Job headed towards the house for breakfast. But stopped when he saw the barn roof. Kids, he supposed, had been up to a little mischief in the night, painting with a can of white latex and four-foot brooms. This is cattle country.MoreLess
