The Tattooed Boy

There’s a boy that I often see. He’s tattooed with stories that he sometimes catches me trying to read. There is one of a black horse with wings thats flying through a hellscape. I wonder if they are stories of past or dreams of the future? I wonder if I am in the story? And if so, am I a villain, a hero, or just an extra that has no lines? I take another glance trying to catch a hint. A word or two before he moves into the future and leaves me behind still wondering.

For this one I repurposed a poem entitled “The Tattooed Boy” that I wrote about my son recently. Although he doesn’t have a horse tattoo (that I know of), he was born year of the horse and I thought of him when I saw today’s prompt word.

If you enjoy these very short stories, you can also check out one of my earliest books – MONTY’S VERY SHORT SHORTS which includes 366 illustrated pieces (one for each day in my life of 2020).
