A Very Grave Nanny
________________
“Come on!” Stevie yelled. I tried hard to catch up.
We entered the small, local cemetery and he pointed. I watched, following his finger with my eyes.
“See? Told you! Gregory was cursed for having that purple eye and was turned into a chicken by the demon of the cemetery.”
I punched Stevie. “That’s a nanny goat, not a chicken.”
“God! It’s even worse!” Stevie ran off; I shook my head.
I started to walk away; the goat whined. I turned to pat its head.
It looked at me with that one purple eye and I fell twice running away.

A grave situation indeed. Purpled-eyed goat sounds like a great song title.
Well done, Scott.
