Shooting deer with my canon
Wendy didn't show up, she had phoned and left me a message just after I left to meet her at the club. One of her friends was brought to the hospital for food poisoning and she was staying with her. I thought she had just brought my hopes up to make fun of me like so many in my hometown had done to me as I grew up. At least her message helps me out from thinking the whole world is like my hometown.
Well I stayed at the club and while I was waiting I was noticing this guy scoping out some girls much like me when I went out "shooting deer with my canon". The Colonel didn't like me pursuing "girlie" activities so I'd tell him that I was going out to shoot with my canon and he was proud of me on those occasions. "You'll be a man yet, and then maybe even a soldier", he'd proudly acclaim while showing me his best form of affection: his arm on my shoulder, then he'd dismiss me and ignore me until my next outing with my canon. Well this particular outing that I remember, I had spotted the beautiful deer with her young (double bonus). I saw them downhill from me and judged the wind to make sure I wouldn't be upwind (much like this guy at the club watching his woman prey and smelling himself to make sure he had his cologne on, he put some more on himself). Just like I'd position myself to be downwind so the deer couldn't smell my bad human smell. I had to move down towards a stream where I saw the deer slowly heading toward while keeping her eye on her young. (just like this guy at the club moving towards the bar that he saw his woman prey looking in her purse as she moved towards the bar)
I'm in position near the stream pointing my canon as the deer approach me unaware of my impending shot, the mother and her young. (The guy is awaiting at the bar as his woman prey approaches with her purse...... Suddenly he says hello) CLICK, I shoot.
My mom taught me to appreciate art and I always showed her my photos that I took as she showed me her paintings, Susie and Sally were never really that interested. Susie was into the military fitness that the Colonel had tried to impose on us and Sally was always reading religious literature (well Mom did read that stuff too but not as often as Sally). It was mom that bought me my canon camera, secretly of course, she had seen me taking out books from the school library on photography (something else for the schoolkids to make fun of me)
Well this guy at the bar seemed to be getting along with his new friend, I could never be that forward. At the time I just hated Wendy for not being there with me like I saw those two together enjoying each other's company. So I came back to my apartment and got her message, maybe I'll phone her tommorrow and ask how her friend is doing.
