Didn’t See That Coming
I have to say that anyone dropping by Curtis’ house the following morning,
Just might have been a bit surprised Sherman was still there.
Stranger Things Have Happened, I am Sure.

Where we catch up with our story,
Curtis had finished his morning workout and was watching the news from the kitchen …
While Sherman was just waking up from the first good night’s sleep
he had been blessed with in a while.
Without a whole lot of fussing,
Curtis told Sherman to get cleaned up while he fixed some breakfast.

Well rested, in a better mood and getting fat on pancakes,
Sherman thought he just may give the pitch another try.
Sherman
”So … I was thinking while in the shower this morning …
You know, we could …”
Curtis was quick to cut him off at the pass.

Curtis
”Hey Sherm … I don’t really want to emphasize the obvious,
but I could have killed you in your sleep last night and sold your body as cut-bait
to the fishermen we met day before yesterday in Mapleton.”
Curtis smiles and continues …
”Nah, really man … Leave it alone.
I’m not cracking on this one … No way, no how.
What is going to happen, is that we are going to make it through the next few days,
And I promise you, whatever else happens after that …
You’ll be okay.”

More eating and less jawing occurred after that.
Curtis finished up the dishes while Sherman took the opportunity
to iron a fresh set of clothes for the day.
With plenty of time still left to spare, the two were ready to head for Valleyview.

Sherman
”Honestly Curtis, I don’t know what to say,
You let me stay here last night, when I haven’t been much to you but a pain.
Man I have no idea why you did it, but I appreciate it.”

Curtis
”Aw come on Sherman, thanks is enough.
Dude you are like a wildcat that is cornered, and you cannot help it.
You don’t see a way out, you’re not thinking straight …
And By Straight … I mean straight through it.
There are some things in life you just can’t get around.
You got to go through them … Good or Bad.”

Curtis continued as they got ready to head out
” Hey … I got a plan.
How about you get a couple cases of books out the trunk of that piece of junk you drive,
And put them in the back of my truck?
We’re not in a rush, can take it easy
And maybe figure out something to help you.
I would suggest the bike but there’s no way I am showing up
with a dude riding .”
Now isn’t that something else …
Curtis may be rough around the edges, but he’s not quite what you would call clueless.
There may just be hope for that boy … Both of them really.
To Be Continued …
