Bang!
The sound echoed
through the empty hollows
of the ancient barn
no longer absorbed by the
giant bales made into castles,
and caves, and places to store
uncountable treasure.
A lone chicken raised her head
to see what disturbed her
slumber and seeing nothing
lightly tucked her head
back under her wing.
Joey crossed the barn
to retrieve the ball,
wandering out into the
world in a vain attempt
to catch his imagination.
