THE VET

Well there it sits, he frowned. All the equipment I need for Saturday; actually, a hunt. I know…me, on a hunt? Me, the most avid animal lover that you’ve ever met going on a hunt? But I was asked and not just by anyone.

I was asked by the dreamed love of my life, Miss Daisy. Miss Daisy lives in another area from my cottage in the village. Daisy resides in society that is in many ways, far from mine. She has afternoon tea with perfumed ladies in big floppy hats and white frilly frocks, who sip their tea with their pinky up in the air.

However, I spend most of my days taking care of horses in society’s stables. My love of animals has no bound, especially horses. They’re such big, powerful, lovable creatures. I suppose donning the gear provided by Daisy might dress me up as a proper gentleman, but the hunting? I’ll just go along for the ride, leaving that “gun” behind.

  1. I like him better than Miss Daisy. I don’t think there’s much future for their relationship, actually. Have cameras been invented yet in your story? He could shoot one of those instead of the gun.

  2. I like this guy and I like the idea of leaving a gun behind when going hunting! I feel a little bad that he feels he has to fit in for Daisy, so I think after the hunt he should tell Daisy where she can get off!

  7. A good story, well told.
    You’ve drawn a full character here.
    He might be poor, he might let himself be dressed up as a gentleman for his lady love, but he’s not going to betray is deepest belief for her.
