BARRIO EPOCH

MACHISMO DESPERADO

LARIAT DIURNAL

SIESTA SCORE

It was in the BARRIO where I grew up next to Mr. Erasmos HACIENDA. A man full of MACHISMO however, his son Manuel was nothing like him on the contrary he was a very kind soul to which I grew very fond of. I remember the first day we met he taught me how to correctly use the LARIAT to control one of his fathers most beautiful horses named Daisy. After a long day of getting to know each other and taking full charge of Daisy I was completely exhausted and went home to take a SIESTA. He was a years older than me, If not much maybe 4 or 5 as time went by I seemed to be falling in love with him and he with me, it was an EPOCH i will never forget. One day while talking under a PALMETTO he confessed his love towards me, he told me that we should go on to the city and live our lives there together. I remember very clearly saying that was my foremost wish and desire, and together planned our sweet escape to be taken into action. It had been rumored among the village a DESPERADO was being searched for after his clever run away plan. I got chills down my spine as though it was some sort of sign, I never imagined my doom was near to fear. The day before Manuel and I's escape I went down to take a walk in the DIURNAL of the day. I heard a gun shot and screams nearby, soon after a SCORE of people crowded what seemed to be a body, feeling an ache in my heart I walked over to see the clash of future dreams slip right of my hands.
