Back Spin: Fiction --- Timothy Dugdale | Numéro Cinq
One day, Nieves was driving back from the city with him. They had gone to the market to sell produce and on the way home, his father stopped at a bar. Nieves plugged the jukebox while his old man threw back rum, that was his drink. By the time they left, it was dark. His father should have seen the deer charging out of the woods but he didn't and the deer took out the right fender before rolling into the ditch. Nieves remembered his old man pulling onto the shoulder. "Come on," he said. "Let's have a look." ---Timothy Dugdale from "Back Spin"
