The SleighChapter 12Previously on "The Sleigh": The boys had decided to move their base of operations to a spot near Messamore's pond. On the move, the advance lookouts, Wes and Wayne, rushed ahead to investigate the likelihood of getting the box past the barbed wire fence that stood between them and the pond. Having selected a possible site they returned to their roles as centurions and waited for the box to arrive.Wes and Wayne shared a moment of prideful rhetoric as they waited for Jay and…See More

The SleighChapter 11With the voting done and the unanimous decision being made to move the venue to Messamore Pond, Jay was determined to pick the next few commands carefully. Next destination: Messamore's Pond.Jay held Leon by his ears, not to threaten or to maim, but to assure himself that he had Leon's full attention. "Leon, I want you to listen to me real good." Said Jay. "This trip down to the pond is going to be very tricky and I need you to focus real hard on that box and how we get it…See More

The SleighInstallment #16Chapter 9Ordinarily every sunrise at the Poole house was punctuated with the sound of singing birds, barking dogs, clucking chickens, and the occasional pitiful meowing of a milk starved tomcat. The Poole boys paid little attention to any of that on this particular morning. Nor did they notice the missing clucking component usually a part of the morning serenade. Their goal for the day was to make sense out of the box now hidden in their structurally unsound chicken…See More

The SleighChapter 8Installment #15 As the sun broke over the railroad tracks, Wayne was first to recognize its coming. A new day with new revelations was out there waiting to be enjoyed. He vaulted over his two bed mates, younger brothers, Richard and Lyndon. They were considered too young for the box adventure and the serious deportment that it required. In the bed next to his, Wayne saw that Wes and Jay were still hard at work sawing logs. Actually Wes’s sleep sounds could more accurately be…See More

The SleighChapter 7Installment #14 There sat the prize, the object of their affection. Each one of the apple butter hunters took a turn at meeting one another’s gaze. Like a pack of hounds in a circle around a single object of prey, each of them wanted the prize but they all knew that the first to get to it would be at the bottom of a pile of scavengers. Just as they were about to make a concerted leap toward the jar, it was no longer there. Wes had measured the situation and had correctly…See More

The Sleigh Chapter 7Installment #13 Supper time and all the rituals tied to it came and went at the Poole’s’ house. But for the apple butter fiasco, the whole evening might have passed without incident. While the major nutritional requirements for a family of 7 children were being met, there was always the odd time when no dessert was available. Certain store bought items in this category were especially desirable. Close to the top of the cheap but tasty sweet list was apple butter. Mamma…See More

The SleighChapter 6Installment #12Once the tarp was inside, the task of maintaining any sort of coordinated forward motion was again thwarted. This time the confined space afforded by the chicken house gave rise to an instant rebellion by the three railcars that had up to this point been following the locomotive without measurable complaint. All of that changed quickly due to the smallness of the interior space. Also a negative contributor was the physical configuration of the interior. Oddly…See More

THE SLEIGHCHAPTER 6INSTALLMENT #11 Well the loosely defined plan for careful exploration of the box was moving along fine. It seemed as though all they had to do was to consider a necessary action and the box took care of most of the task itself. This was the lesson learned from Leon’s offhand remark and the box’s reaction to it. The box moved of its own will and in so doing, fulfilled Leon’s wish. Jay said, “Go get the tarp that’s hanging on the fence to the dog pen.” While his directive was…See More
