"My ancestors were Apache," he told me carefully removing some tobacco from a brown leather pouch and tucking it into his pipe. "You're the first Native American student we've had on the ranch. I hope you do well." He closed his eyes and inhaled the tobacco as if it had a redeeming quality. The sound reminded me of steamboat I once saw on the Trinity River at the state fare in Houston. The smoke smelled like sweet charcoal. I liked it. Peta is a Navajo teenage boy experiencing work herding cattle from one large Texas ranch to another. Unfortunately, he is accompanied by a high school bully - now a drug addict - Anthony. Both boys will be indelibly changed after their trip. America today, like all western countries, is struggling with the rise of racism, the problem of ever harder drugs and drug addiction, and forgiveness. This story attempts to capture that mood. 1 of 3

Exactly! Then we can bury it at that lake in the woods! And then on your 19th birthday we can come back and open it." "That's a great idea Niall! But what if you don't remember?" I frowned and he gently held my cheeks in his hand. "I won't forget, Annabelle. I promise that before then, when I am 18, I'll come back here. And that spot in the woods is now our place. Ours and only ours. Whenever you miss me, just go to that spot and smile at every memory. You promise to do that and I promise I won't forget." "Pinky Promise?" "I pinky promise." * * Niall and Annbelle are the best of friends. Their friendship was special and unbreakable...for the most part. But when Niall moves away, and comes back five years later...a lot of things change... And not in the way you think... ------------------------------------------------- Time Capsule- FaithHopeandNiall Copyright 2014/2015
