Reluctantly , Striker handed the
firearm over . Unsure that his new-
found friend took any of note of his
instructions .
❛ Okay . Close one eye an' use the
other to aim . Pull the trigger but hold
on tight . ❜
ᅠ
ᅠ
Slipping the revolver from a holster
around his waist , the cowboy grinned .
❛ Sure thing ! First you gotta know to
be super careful , 'kay ? Recoil can hurt
like a fucker . Use both hands . ❜

ᅠ
The snake nodded , opting to
simply pat the performer on his
shoulder .
❛ Ah' play target practice when ah'm
feelin' shitty . Ah' got a gun if ya' wanna
try ? Can line some old cans up on th' wall . ❜

ᅠ
A slight tilt of the head , tongue
poking out of his mouth for a moment
and then returning right back . The
scent was definitely familiar .
Hopping out of his makeshift bed ,
the teen plopped down .
❛ Yer' not ... ❜
ᅠ
ᅠ
A soft rattle of the spade on his
tail . Striker emerging from a small
pile of hay at the back . Yes , he'd
probably been napping there .
Oh . It was that clown again⸻
❛ Ya' okay , partner ? ❜
ᅠ
ᅠ
Yer' job ? Sounds like an awful
lot o'homework , to me . What
else d'ya know 'bout snakes ?
my Pa' always said we ain't like
most folk . Dunno' what he meant
though .
( Sitting , Striker smirked . ) 🡓
