//------------------------------// // well.....that went well. // Story: the death and upbringing of a farmer // by koenigsegg //------------------------------// . "Should we get the big beast out of the yards." says the girl thats been haunting my dreams for the last 6 months. "well we have too don't we," i reply with a smirk "hes got to go in with the heifers." "well yeah but he looks pretty pissed there don't you think?" "yeah well that tends too happen when you get transported in a stuffy truck for 8 hours, but i think we should be careful with him. if he drops his head down run." she simply nods a reply. I make my way over the the swinging gate too let him out of the section of yard we locked him on, i then unchain it and immediatly see the bulls head drop. I start yelling "GET THE OTHER GATE TERELYN!" She runs over to the other gate and flings it open just as i open the gate for the bull, he immediatly sizes me up and charges, i jump the fence next too the gate and see him run straight at terelyn. "GET THE OTHER GATE TERELYN!" I hear those words and immediatly jump into action sprinting over too the gate eading down the race towards the heifers, i fling the gate for all im worth and run too the side just as he opens the gate and the bull runs at him, he jumps the fence and the bull then makes a beeline for me so i start running. Is all i think as i see the bull barrel down the race through the wire fence and into the paddok after Terelyn. I run over too my bike and jump on it immediatly starting it shifting into first and dumping the clutch, straight over the ruined fence and after them, by this point the bull has just about cought terelyn. I cant think i cant breath or look back all i can do is run, hope and pray it doesnt catch me, i allready know its barreled through the fence after me, then i hear it, a bike getting shit and changing up gears, i just hope he gets here in time too save me.... By the time i catch up to them im moving a good 75km/h and the bull is about 2 meters behind terelyn, i keep the throtle on as hard as i can and simply hit the bull as hard as i can on my 2 wheeler, witch by the way is NOT a good idea as i immediatly start fliping down the paddok at about 65km/h i come too a stop and notice the bull isnt chasing terelyn anymore oh no hes found a much more agressive creature too asert his dominance over, he comes barreling at me so i jump up and immediatly realize ive broken my shin clean in half, i glance at terely as she jumps another fence and looks back the look of dawning realization on her face. The bull is so close i can feel his every pounding step, iv'e never ran this fast in my life. I hear that he is close on the bike but i cant pin point exactly how close he is then suddenly i hear crashing and the bull roars in pain but the crashing continues, i carry on running too the nearest fence before looking back and i see him standing there looking at me as i realize his leg is broken tears start too well in my eyes. I keep looking at terelyn as i hear the bulls hoofsteps draw closer as he cautiosly aprouches me, I see her start too cry out something but all i hear is the bull roar and charge, and i know that this is the end i start yelling "terelyn get out of here!" "Terelyn get out of here!" i just stand there dumbstruck as i realize he is going too die my eyes siply well over with tears and i yell "i love you!" and start running once again back towards the shed too get help, not realizing this is the last time i every see him. A smile erupts onto my face as i hear her last words too me then the bull hits me, And doesnt relent, pounding me over and over after getting me on the ground, as everything starts too go block and his hooves are decending as he finishes the job i realize i have absolutly no regrets then everything fades away. I awaken in a void of what appears to be mist and hear a voice. "Young man do you know where you are?" I am highly confused with this as i realize i have no idea so i reply by answering simply with "I have no clue what so ever" The voice then giggles and replys with " Well you died and are now in the cross roads, i intercepted your soul as you were traveling too the after life, after witnessing your death i decided my people could use someone like you." I am absolutly dumfounded at this information and decide too just sit there silently for the time being and let this god or deity or whatever this thing is talk for now. "I am giving you two options you can be reborn on my peoples planet and have another life another chance or you can carry on too the after life and find peace." I immediatly make a decision although I have a sneaking suspicion, "Well thats not much of an option ill take another crack at life, just one question." "Hmmm?" "Do i keep my memories?" Silence. "I figued as much," I say frowning. "So what is your decision?" "I stick by what i first said, its still not much of a choice ill take life over death any time," "So be it" Then everything fades away again. is the first thing i hear and i immediatly flick my ears towards the source......wait what?.
