Bobbleheads of War
The day he left for training was the most accomplished Adam had felt in his eighteen years. Coming from a town where the cows outnumbered the locals, Adam’s sense of pride certainly was justified. Only three people had left before Adam. There was Sarah. Bodacious, she went to Los Angeles to pursue her grunge punk music career. There was Billy who had pretty much fled from the ‘villagers with pitchforks’ after his mother discovered her son exploring the Baptist Minister’s ‘sacred’ areas. Then the third was of course the minister. Last Adam heard, Sarah had an underground hit called ‘Lost Country Girl’ but started to worship at the church of cocaine and has since starred in many adult films. Billy is a successful fashion columnist in Portland and lives with his partner who is 30 years his senior and likes playing a little too much. As for the minister, well he found a job at a fast food joint in Wapeka and living on his government dependent cousin’s couch.
