No full textTwo micro-short stories (flash fiction): continuation of "Wintertime" by Robb Boyd; "Ernie" by Brian VossHelooked at it alot, he took it off the rack a lot, he threw it to his shoulder and pointed it a lot and he wished he was old enough to shoot
it-a lot. I guess what especially intrigued Cleary was the mechanism of the gun-you pumped the shiny walnut forearm, a shell was
ejectedand a fresh one injected-Neat!
Hewas intrigued by it, but he had never done it and today, with no one watching, he was going to try. His mind spun back to times when
hisfather came home from hunting and unloaded the gun. Cleary loved the sight of those red cylinders cartwheeling out of the gun. He
tookthree shells and put them in the magazine. Now was the moment.
Hepumped the forearm, he pumped again-I should say he tried to pump it again-it wouldn't, he jerked hard-no way. Remembering
othertimes this happened with an unloaded gun when pulling the trigger freed the action, Cleary didn't stop to think. He squeezed the
trigger.
Smokewafted from the end of the barrel; a big hole in the filing cabinet gaped at him; his ears rang, and with shaking hands, he put the
gunback on the rack.
ForCleary, this was it-his father preached the gospel of gun-safety and he had, obviously, done everything wrong and broken every
cardinalrule. Cleary wouldn't shoot a gun for a long time. He threw himself on his bed and sobbed.
Amillion little occurances, put together, make a lifetime and in the past few weeks, for Cleary, they had, one by one, gone badly and his
moodwas black. We walked together in the country, the wind eating our faces, the ground covered with a sciff of snow.
Clearybegan talking then, a far-off look glistening in his eyes, and lwondered at this friend of mine, as he became almost poetic now,
talkingmore to the clouds and frigid air than to me.
"We look at the world around in the spring and the earth seems new and as the frost of winter relaxes it perspires with the pungent,
vitalizingaroma of fresh green grass and apple blossoms.
Andwe say, 'aren't even we humans so like the fresh green earth-exuberent and young!
Of course springtime fades into summer. Think of summer.
It's warm, the asphalt so soft your feet leave gentle depressions, it's the time of year to swim in a lake, sleep in the sun, relax.
Andagain we say, aren't people like the summer-with spirits warm and happy.
Fallcomes then, the summer dies-but so beautifully~a death with Indian Summer Days and the rich-gold of turning leaves.
Andnow we say the spirit of man is captured in nature again, for even its failing is graceful-so beautiful.
Andwinter sneaks in.
Thedays of Indian Summer turn cold, the ground gets harder, the snow doesn't melt and then one day we stand on a cold, windy hill,
liketoday and suddenly it seems as if man is alientated from nature. The now confuses and loses us, the cold and wind freeze us and it's
manversus nature.'
But that's not true my friend," Cleary said and he smiled a little, "Haven't you ever had a line of tension cross your guts, you begin to
wonderwhat good your life is, your friends don't smile, at least you thought they were friends, and you feel empty.
Well, that's winter, when we are just as cold and lifeless and hard as the land around us right now," he gestured, a heavy sweeping
gesturewith a clothing-thick arm and mittened hand. "That's winter and today I'm filled with the snow of winter. The nice thing is-after
winter-there's spring."

"Hey, Brian, let's go shoot some birds."
"No, I don't feel like it. Besides, I don't have a gun."
"Well, you can use mine. Come on, at least come with me."
"Oh alright."
It was sunny on a Monday afternoon, the wind softly blowing through the trees. I was enjoying the sound of birds, frogs, and the
crackle as we walked across dry leaves to the well-known frog pond. Ernie came here quite a bit, with his BB gun strapped across his
shoulder. I would accompany him once in a while, never participating in his own little hunting season.
Wefound a good spot near the pond, the ground moist, with the smell of dead fish. I watched the tadpoles dive for the bottom of the river
as we approached them. The small waves left behind would trickle over each other.
"Hey, Brian, shut up. There's one over there on that tree.
