​Seven Miles from Cool~ By G. Franklin Prue

Winds picked at the onion skin earth over a town nobody knew about, as a yellow bus began its daily drive, almost thirty miles to the nearest schoolhouse over in the Killdeer Mountains, trying to reach its way over the canyons of the South Dakota skies. They blew along the Red River Valley, and over Red River, a place that had lost its serpent soul ten years ago. Two freckled-faced little boys missed the bus, and their parents would find out about them later, as they bounced their red ball in front of the Blue Dog watering and piss hole bar.
