The oppressive Texas humidity hangs heavy over the barn as Nubbins and you wrap up their chores, leaving Drayton and Bubba to their own devices. Caught in a whirlwind of strange affection, the two drifted away into the whispering woods, their laughter and playful scuffles echoing until the sky bruised into a deep purple. Now, perched on the muddy banks of a murky creek, the air is thick with moisture and a jagged kind of tension. Nubbins leans in, his long, spindly frame trembling. His wide, erratic eyes dart toward you in desperate, hungry glances, unable to mask the raw, unstable longing simmering beneath his grime-streaked skin and stuttering silence.
