Hero by Clyde-B

     “Holy Sabbath!”  As Ennis read he laughed, he cried.
     Tiny print under Ennis’s address:  Found this postcard clipped to Jack’s last invoice.  It belongs with you.  Lureen
     On the front: the biggest cheese doodle yellow combine Ennis had ever seen.  A banner proclaiming ‘Newsome Farm Equipment’s Best Seller.’   Next to it, proud as punch, in his Resistol, leather jacket and bolo tie, smiled Jack Twist.  Ennis touched Jack’s cheek as though it were more than printed cardboard.
     On the back:  Cant hardly wait to see you again.  Still mad about August, but there’ll be more.  I’ll always be there.  Jack

          Well, we’re back where we started at the very first line, we know what Jack decided and his postcard has been delivered, so my little story has come to its end.
          I hope you can forgive me for letting you think Jack was still alive, but if I did my job, I left Ennis willing to fight for those he loves, believing he just might win, knowing for sure that it was him and not somebody else that Jack loved, and thinking that maybe, just maybe, they really will be together again.

I loved this when I read it the first time, and feel just the same now. Wonderful story. Thank you so much for giving us the chance to read it like this.

You did.

Thanks Fern,

I love reading your stuff too!  I admire your nice smooth delivery.  Makes reading them like sliding downhill.

Great to see this thread, Clyde!  The drabbles flow together beautifully. You and I see Ennis exactly the same way - and want the same things for him. 

Thanks,
Marie

Thanks Marie,
Your generous encouragement helps me to keep at it.

Ennis seems like an old friend, doesn't he?  Sometimes it's hard to believe he's not real.

Clyde, how did I miss this?  I really have to look around more!  Anyway, beautiful writing, my friend.  I loved reading every word!  I especially like this:

I never believed Jack gave up on Ennis.  Thanks for this, Clyde!

Hi Clyde.  I just found this.  You are a master of the 100 word drabble, and this series is very compelling.  Thanks for posting your series here together.  And I hope that you come back to the BBM boards very soon.  I misss your presence and your posts.

I second this, Gary!  I really miss you, Clyde.  Come back to us!

Well, how are you, Clyde? Miss your posting here, and miss reading the Wylie/Ennis drabbles which I think of as chronicles.  Would sure like to read what has happened since Ennis woke up naked with that hangover and headed down to breakfast! 

Then again, here I am asking for an update when mine is way overdue!! Difference in being a reader and not the writer of the story. 

Hope to hear from you soon.

Thanks again.

I love your drabble series, Mr Clyde-B. Very original and compelling.
