The Feud: 01

By Matthew David Carroll

"The Owens live at the corner of a dirt trail where it meets an old state road in a one story contemporary home with an attached garage. There’s not a lot of traffic so often high school kids and local dumbasses take advantage zip past at super high speeds.

A quiet little town though, only thing that’s ever happened around there was a few weeks back the Feds came in and arrested old Doc Weathers.

Strange fellow, at one point he owned half the buildings downtown, sold them when he retired. Retreated to his big old farmhouse on his twenty acres and became a hermit.

People joke he’d built an underground tunnel from one of them to his house, which was a couple miles out. Lot of good it did him. FBI just walked up to the door and put him in cuffs. Wasn’t that important, didn’t even make the news.

Funny thing though."

Hello,For those of you who are new, I hope you enjoy.If you've already read some of these, I'm glad you're back.It's been terrible for building trust and invites all sorts of nonsense, but my lack of presence is better for new readers to get into the story and character. So I'm elusive for that reason, mostly.If you're interested in getting to know me, forgive us, you can check my other social media for that, but I'm afraid you won't find much at the moment.I keep putting it off. I'm really not as interesting as my stories and getting older even less so. :)Some of these are quick easy reads I hope will leave you laughing or with some sort of satisfied wonder (I know. I'm finishing them.) Others are over stylized with complex plot structures that require inquisition.I can't promise you'll like everything I write, but you'll know (for the most part) what you're getting into.Complex issues, simple themes. Characters opinions are their own.If you like any of them please, share. I appreciate every one of you who have.Because of you they have traveled all over the world.
