Constipated Goat ~ Murderer’s Sky

This excerpt introduces Monty Harte, an important figure from Albert Hayne’s past.

The storyteller was a tall, lean man with sandy, short-cropped hair and a short beard. His skin was dark and leathery like most farmers, from spending his days in the sun and the weather. His face was drawn out and lined with care, with a long — but not protrusive — nose, and brown eyes full of warmth and friendship. He was regaling his listeners with the story of a farmer who tried to treat a sick goat by giving it a laxative, resulting in a hilarious chase scene where the goat let fire at the farmer with a variety of indigestible hardware, a work glove, a rubber hose, and a wad of tire patching compound that plugged up the poor goat’s rectum on its way through, and then ballooned out with excrement until it exploded to the detriment of both goat and farmer.
