Scapegoated

by Jeff Oliver

Sara took off her gruesome Halloween mask, then leaned down and took each of the goats’ vitals. She wrote down the data in a little red journal, including how long each faint lasted. It usually averaged about two minutes. Then she caressed each goat softly under the ears as they regained control of their muscles and kissed them goodbye. This gave Chewy, who was in love with Sara a boner.
