John patient was running slim, for about three days he been look for the records on his milking barn. He has an opportunity to hook up some solar panels to the milking parlor. Big dairy became overwhelming and had increase in several milk related disease. That the smaller family produced more milk per cow.
John and his wife Linda could be looking for the records. There dog, Punt. Who was mixed between a bulldog and who know what else. Punt name came from that his face look like it been punted. He is good dog. Barked when someone came into the driveway. Not a yip per.
Because they been looking for the records they need to get solar panels. The chute need some repair. Not much but a few boards need to be tighten up.
The old trail that had brought the settlers into the community back in 1870's Once in while a dust devil would kick up. For some reason this one had an oval shape to it. Sometime John and Linda talk about the dust devils on trail. They wonder if it was some type of ghost just kicking up dust.
After the chute got fix, they decided to check on the hog pen. And put in some new straw. There pig Wrinkle meant them by the gate. Usually they had an apple for Wrinkle and the other five pigs. But this time they forgot some apples. So since the smaller field on the backside of the hog pen, wasn't been worked for a two years. They tore down part pen, and let the pigs loose. They seem to have a good time rooting about.
John and his wife head back to the house. For some lunch and John was going to look for those records he need to get the solar panels. As they walked back to the place. In his back of his mind he start to become more discouraging. He kept asking him self over and over. Where did I put them papers? He search all the logical places they could be. Did someone came into their home when they went to town and purposeful gather those paper they need to get solar panels. They been a small group of people in the area didn't want any part of solar panel into the area. But as far as John knew no one he knew or heard of came short on papers.
As they ate their lunch of turkey sandwich with side of cottage cheese and peaches. He saw some papers on the floor by the end table by the couch. He walked over and it is the paper he been looking for. He was so relief.
Hope you enjoy the story.
I went over to chatgpt and ask them about Literary Character Parallels and here is the five...
John → Charles Dickens’ Joe Gargery (from Great Expectations) – Honest, kind, practical man with emotional depth, working quietly for the good of others.
Linda → Shakespeare’s Hermione (from The Winter’s Tale) – Calm, loyal, sensible, and enduring. She keeps the emotional warmth steady.
Punt the Dog → Sancho Panza (from Cervantes’ Don Quixote) – The earthy companion to a wandering soul, comic yet insightful in presence.
The Ghostly Dust Devil → Banquo’s Ghost (from Macbeth) – Not directly malevolent, but stirring up unresolved ancestral or regional energy.
Wrinkle the Pig → Wilbur (from E.B. White’s Charlotte’s Web) – A pig full of innocence and life, who becomes a symbol of simple joys and overlooked wisdom.
Coffee is on.
...I'm not much of a wordsmith!
