Appalachian Grandpa Tales: The Little People of Kepchki
I sighed as I took in the destruction in the shed. It had been like this all week and I was getting a little tired of it. Something had been breaking into our sheds and chicken pen, and I was at a loss to determine what it was. It was big, but it was also smart, and neither doors nor windows seemed to bother it much. It ate meat, as the four new chickens we had just bought could attest, and grains, as our ripped open sack of fish feed and chicken feed could attest. I had wondered if it might be a young bear cub, but Grandpa thought it might be a fox, given its craftyness.

Trapped in the Booth
I hadn’t wanted to go to Applebees, but my friends insisted. I’m not opposed to going out to have a meal, but I hate going to the Applebees in our town. It’s a gathering place for every half drunk Chad and happy hour drunk who doesn’t have enough money to drink at the yacht club but too much class for the Tilted Stool. We aren’t big drinkers. I mean, we like to tie a few on sometimes, but these guys get downright sloppy. We get the booth as far from the bar as we can, but it’s still so damn noisy in there! By the end of the night, we’re all yelling at each other just to be heard over the jukebox and the drunks. I spend the rest of the night with my eardrums pounding and my head ready to crack open.
