Flames Entertain an Offer (Otherwise Untitled)
#95 of Short Stories
A deer reckons that making a deal with a supernatural being is the way to go, with regards to someone he knows.
~ The deer glared up at the thirty foot tall pillar of fire that loomed over the desert scrub. "Anything you'd be willing to steal, you'd've already taken.", tossing one of the previous year's antlers into the flames, "I'm here to make a deal."
~ The wisps of flame settled down into a roadrunner, grinning with bemusement. "I like confidence.", she noted before biting off a chunk of the antler, "Whatcha want?"
~ His reply prepared and practiced, "I'm here to bring back Kevin."
