Ethan leaned his bike up against the mailbox and ran over to Mac's barn, he saw Mac laying down in the hay with his hat tipped down covering his face. Ethan stopped running ahead of Mac and said with joy "Hey Mac!" Mac opened one eye and saw who it was, he lifted his hat up "Hey Ethan, get that job done?" Ethan nodded and sat next to Mac.
Mac was a man of not many words, but when he said them they still mean't something. He was never shy, just a quiet fellow. Mac pointed outside, down the dirt road, "A new fella just came into town, heard his name was Matt." Ethan looked out and nodded "Thats the older house, Mr. Hans used to live there right?" Mac nodded "Mhm, he did"
Mac coughed and stood up, stretched and looked up "It's getting late, you best be heading home Ethan" Ethan nodded, with a frisk smile "See ya Mac" He got on his bike and rode down the dirt road, back to his house. Ethan got back and leaned his bike upon the ridged house, he went inside and walked up the old, creaked steps and fell asleep almost right away when he got to his bed.
