Fighting Arlie Horn. - the grill rust

On the knee in the middle of the arena, Allie Horn holds her crying eyes that thro moves.Her nose ran away and there was dirt between her teeth.At the farthest end, her father sat on top of his mottled gray, and the finances were frozen, and his beard fell from histeeth, just a second ago, he went out with a smile, because it was not until that moment that he realized that Arlie was already from the cowhide after being kicked to the eyeI thought they won the game and they won it.Now, the smile is gone, and the triumphant fist falls to the saddle corner.Ellie couldn't see his eyes behind his sunglasses, but she knew they were on the empty cowhide.Ellie found that her eyes blurred the scene at the end of the arena.She blinked and wiped away the muddy tears with her shirt.The beating continues, but the intensity has weakened.She closed her eyes.Her father is watching her.Doug Dobson, a few feet away from him, leaned out of the saddle and patted his daughter's hand to celebrate their victory, with her daughter wearing an original white hat,Her father had nothing to worry about, but nothing to lose.Sherose turned and went straight to bucking chutes and climbed up and turned them into a group of boys.The boys leaned cold against the fence and sat in the gear bag, talking, laughing, spitting, their wide and flat hats on long wrinkled hair, their cattle ropeWhen Ali jumped down from among them, they were silent, some staring at her, some at their feet.Ellie ignored the boys and understood that she had a head higher than most of them, and even though she was thirteen years old, she was developed, which made the boys behave wellShe walked past her eyes and walked out of a fourWalk into the open air area of rodeo square, a flat area covered with grass, pickup trucks and trailers.The horse Palm is tied to the trailer and lazily switches its tail back and forth.A road outside the arena was cut off and her father rode down.She took a step back against the wall, hoping that he would not notice her.He didn't, and his focus was on the gray jump.Under the horseshoe, the dust is flying.He walked a few feet away and never looked up again, his chin became hard under a dark beard, his long hair came out of the hat bush, like it was behind the chuteShe looked at him until he stopped in their squareAnti-rust flat wagonBrown harness.The canopy had come out, and the shabby canvas floated in the breeze.Under it rested a long, thin figure with his boots on the chair and his hat on his eyes.Her father's best friend, his shadow Green.Because as long as Ellie remembers, Green has been hanging around.Always drunk, revealing his broken and rotten teethCrustedgums, living on her le through bloodshot eyes.She didn't want to go back to the car House, didn't want it yet, and didn't want to go back there with her dad and Krini, so when she saw Chase pine kneeling next to the bullpen and putting her hands on her thighs, she walked towards him.He wore a big palm leaf hat on his small head and short body.In front of him was a flat tent, a pile of twisted and disjointed poles with orange plastic piles.She stepped forward and kicked his foot.He looked up and squinted at the Sun.When he saw it, there was a smile on his face."I'm not sure if it's you under that big one --Ali said, "bastard.A strong Red Bull stands on the other side of the fence, his nostrils open, his head down, watching the chase.He looked up at Ellie and took a step back."What's wrong with your eyes?" Chase asked."Nothing," she said."That's great."He stood up and Ellie's eyes flattened the edge of the hat."Quit," he said .""It's ugly.Ellie nodded to the semi-finals.Trucks and fecesIt comes with a striped bull trailer and chase's father is a stock contractor."Why don't you sleep in the truck?"I like to sleep outside.""It's October.It's cold.Chase kicked with the toe of his boots."I have a sleeping bag." "And a hat."You're too mean," Chase said .""what'snew?He knelt down again and began to tidy up the poles of the tent."Help me.Ellie looked at the car and trailer at home.Her foam tied the gray to the trailer and now untied the horse's saddle.On the other side of the rig, Green still recline under the awning.She did not want Togo back there yet.She didn't want to hear about hiderace.She didn't want green to wake up and stare at her.She took a pole from the pile.They set up a tent, and Ellie helped chase to spread his bedding, a fluffy quilting sleeping bag, over two layers of foam.The entire floor of the tent was covered with bedding.It looks very comfortable.The sun warms the nylon wall, and it smells like a soft agent.Ellie squatted on her knees, chased around her, resisting the desire to lie down and close her eyes.But in the end they stood up.She leaned her elbow on his scrawled shoulder and against him."It looks good," she said.She looked at her father's clothes from the top of the tent.The gray was tied together, untied the saddle, and the sweat was cut down along his flank.Chopped on the ground.The chair is empty under the awning.Her dad and Creeny are gone.They did not go;They're in there.When she walked to the car House, she heard their voice muttering between the thin walls.Ellie is sitting in a lawn chair.She looked at her bay mare, the fly, and stood there tied to the trailer.On the other side of the trailer, invisible, gray hoofs hit the fender.She leanedback.The water stain drew a map of the canvas on her head.The car house creaked and the door opened.Her father went out and grabbed a jar of natural light.He took off his boots and his feet were stuffed into a bird cage."Sandals don't match socks," said Arlie ."He sat in another chair next to her, 1 feet high and looked.His dirty white sock was revealed.He let his foot fall."Obviously you and the cowboy don't know either.He took Adrick away.Though a little less than before, her eyes still beat.She said: "I was hurt by a lump ."She pointed her eyes."Rightthere.He put down his beer and wiped his mouth with his back."The eyes are far from your hand."We're half way ahead of them.You can save the money.""Slow up?Said her father.He finished drinking the beer, squashed the jar and threw it away."You let the Dobson family come." It was true.The little Dobson girl with a white hat and a hundred miles attitude.She always has the best clothes, the fastest horse.However, her brother Cui, he is a different story.He is a friend of her brother Mike and she feels strange and excited whenever he comes to her.Still, she hates losing to Dobson girls."In any case, hiding the car is for kids," she said ."."I don't know why you care about it."I only care about victory, that's all.He tilted forward and opened the cooler cover.He looked inside."Empty," he said, closing the cooler.After that he stopped talking and she knew she would not get anything from him until he had finished a few beers and soArlie stood up and walked up to the horse trailer and flew up.On the other side of the trailer, the hoofs of the gray man hit the Fender again.She turned her head into the corner, and the elding's eyes turned around her.Why do you always mean that?ass horses?" she hollered."What?" he asked."Why do you always mean that?ass horses?"Don't say 'ass '.Stupid horse.The voice was deep and serious, he said.But she knew he didn't really care about her swearing.He cares about hiding the game, cares about riding the bull in the past, and he wins a buckle for the whole cabinet.She knew that after drinking a beer or two, he would giggle like he was not around.She took a brush from the trailer and rolled the mare up.She glanced at her horse.Green came out, Belline handd.He smiled at her, his rough face had wrinkles on its own, bloodshot in his eyes, yellow teeth, pungent and blackened spots around his gums.She soon disappeared from Green's sight."Danny, your girl looks more like her mom today."As long as she is not like her," said her father."You bring me a beer?"No, get it yourself.""I bought it.""So go get it."Ellie thought of her mother on the Snake River on her rich boyfriend's big Adobe --looking house.She stayed there for a while, but the boyfriend wanted Ellie to work a lot.Feed the chicks, pull out the file weeds, clean up the horse pens, help in the vineyard--No matter how hot or bitter, Ellie and her mother have housework.But Arlie wouldn't let a stranger take care of her, so she went back to the farm and lived with her father, grandfather and brother.Her father returned to the car House.Ali glanced again from their back.Sitting spread-Green panked his leg, put his beer on his knee, blinked at her and gave him a bad smile.Soon Ellie shrank again, hiding behind her mare.Ellie rode up in front of Chase's tent.His head was on his hands and knees, and the boots and thin hind legs stretched out from the open flaps."Did you lose something in it?Chase stepped out of the car, looked up at Ellie, narrowed his eyes, and the white light flashed on his bare forehead."Like your hat?"I'm making the bed."Haven't we done that already ?""I need Marcello.What about your teddy bear?She said, putting her forearm on the saddle."Funny.He climbed all the way into the tent.After a while, he came out wearing a hat.Help dad's crib.Where yougoing?"The bucket.""Good luck."Yes, so are you.Hope you find your teddy bear."Everything broke down in a barrel game.The mare was blown up by the first barrel, ran past the second one, and finally hit the third one, hitting it, and gou lived in Arlie's calf.Throughout the run, Ali pulled, whips, and whips on the reins.On her way back to the car House, the fly took a bite, held her head, and jumped like a door-mounted horse.Ellie caught the reins.She feels bad about so many whipping horses.This is not Fly's fault.She's not even a real barrel horse, it's just some shitter her father picked up in the sale barn.She approached the car House.The windshield cracked.smeared.Part of the grill is missing.The feathers of the crushed bird stick to it.The frayed edges of the canopy clapped in the breeze.Underneath it, Krini lay on his stomach, his thin body stretched over the linen, and his black hat was placed next to a nearby sweatshop beer can.He lay down with his face down and looked young, like a friend of her brother.But he didn't, and she didn't want to wake him up.If she had cooled the flight longer, maybe she wouldn't have been so excited.Her shoes clapped on the hard ground, and her breath exploded in the air.She tried to make a circle away from the car House, but other rigs were parked nearby and there was no place to go except for greenney.When she passed, his only movement was to breathe, and his back was rolling and rolling.In front of the trailer, she stopped the mare and came out of the racecourse.Lovers who can't touch continue to eat.Ellie slipped down from her mouth and the horse rubbed her head on her and breathed out.Ellie looked at the mare's neck and saw Green still sleeping.She caught the horse.Ellie came down from her back and they chewed her lips and licked her lips.Ellie hugged her sweat stream sweaty's back neck and went to the trailer, took a metal comb and scraped some foam from her."I didn't even hear you riding.She stopped and had a stiff spine.When she was dressed up, she almost forgot about Green.He's right behind her.Why didn't she hear him up?She moved the battle on the meat of the fly.The air around them was cool and the steam rose on horseback.In the arena, the voice of the announcer."Then you must be deaf .""I think it's a fool.He paused, took a deep breath, and then spat."How old are you now?" he asked."What do you care about?Just wanted to know.I remember when your mom and dad were still together.How about that night in Caldwell, your old man on that short night?The night you got lost?How old were you then?It didn't seem long ago."Currycomb's blades slide through the back of the fly, and they rippling in a dark hideout."I'm thirteen.""That's all?You look a lot older than that."What does that mean ?""She still doesn't look.He was looking at her, though.She can feel it."Nothing.You just look like a woman, not a girl.You look like your mother.She leaned over and smelled the salty smell she had hidden.She took a sip and tried to pretend that grinny didn't look at her as she was, trying to pretend she was somewhere else, or that grinny was sleeping all the time.He spat again, and a wet saliva slammed on the ground."I'm going to watch the Bulls in the past.Do you want to come?""No.She saw akain from her horse.A fence around a parking lot full of school buses, waiting for the end of the weekend."Okay, Ellie.I'll see you later."He walked away and Ellie stopped staring at the bus until his footsteps disappeared.At the car House, Ellie sat at the table and drank Dr. Pepper.She found it in the fridge with natural lights and a bottle of Pendleton whiskey hidden in it.The muscles of men and boys circled in the air.In the sink, a wet towel was moldy on a dirty plate.She wanted to clean up the mess but didn't think it was her job.Her mother always said this to her father.It's not my job to clean up your mess.Ellie rubbed her eyes.She found a unused towel in the small bathroom and washed her eyes and face with it.It seems to make her brain a little beat, but her brain is still in pain.He was injured in a barrel.She thought about what greenney said, thought about her latheris 93 that night, and won the bull ride at the Caldwell night rodeo.Shewas six.After the rodeo show, she was in the stands with her parents and green.All three were gone, and she was crushed to death by a group of drunken bunnies and Cowboys.A battle broke out.Someone put a beer on her.She couldn't breathe, not all the people were pressing her, and finally she squeezed out of the crowd and ran all the way to the evening until she came to the street light.On top of her head, the bug flew through the light, banging on the glowing glass.She was crying there until finally her father showed up and picked her up and she could smell the beer and sweat on him.He laughed at her crying, not laughing on purpose, but joking, as if he didn't know why she ran, as if he hadn't disappeared and her mother hadn't disappeared, as if they had not abandoned her among all the drunken people.Outside the car home came the father's laughter, and then came the voice of the brother.She can't hear green, but he must be with them.Soon she slipped out of the back of the table, hurried to the berth on the taxi and climbed in.The unwashed bedding on her father stinks.She doesn't care.She doesn't know what to do.She wanted to bury herself in the bed and avoid green.The door opened and her brother came in.He looked up at the berth at once."Do you take a nap?"His dark, hair-free face looks like his sister's idea is too unbearable."Maybe," she sat up and let her feetdangle sway."Hurry up."It's a cold bitch here," her father said ."."Quit whining.Mike came in.Her father followed and looked up at her."What are you doing on it?"His face relaxed due to the influence of natural light.She likes such a father best.She wants Green to play in the next game, but it's actually Terry Dobson.Trey, A bull-Her father always said, riding a thorn.If he hadn't been in this valley for too long, drunk like the rest of us, then what would it be to vote?Trey, an olive-The skin boy with curly black hair touched the top of his ear, a boy with few smiles, but when he did, his teeth were white.There are no chews and no rotten gums in it.Until recently, Cui has been just another nasty friend of Mike, but now her face is getting hot and she wants to run away and hide every time he shows up, at the same time, she also wanted to stay and stare, hoping that she could attract everyone's attention.Cui glanced at her and nodded.Her face was hot.He walked in all the way and closed the door.Mike opened the fridge and took out two beers.He returned one to Cui without looking at it."Where's mine?Said her father."Natty Light is the best you can do?Find a job and buy your own beer if you don't like it."Mike handed their father a beer and the three men opened it at the same time.Arlie tried not to stare, but she couldn't help it.Mike took out Pendleton's black bottle and lifted it up like a atrophy."Stay away from this," her father said ."."Nonsense," said Mike."We are drinking."I can still beat your ass," her father said .""You are old and slow."Drink my Pendleton and see how old and slow I am."Eat shit, I'm drinking."Mike puts the bottle around his neck and swings back and forth.Her father's face tightened."If you have a small sip, I will take your urine choke out.Mike's chin twitched under smooth skin.Ellie had seen him hit the needle before, and the old man had him choked and wrapped around his neck until Mike's face turned red until his head pimples almost burst.Ellie knew Mike was thinking about hitting him at that time and deciding if the old man was really too old and too slow.Mike smiled."You old bastard.He put the bottle back in the fridge and closed the door.Ellie breathed a sigh of relief. she didn't know she had held her breath.The boys went to the table and sat down.Narrow rear window frame and rustTheir background is a spotted horse trailer.Everyone took the asip out of the beer.Her father stuffed two more beers into his pocket and looked up at her."Pay attention to these thieves," he said ." His face returned to a drunk."Don't let them drink Millington.It's not cheap." Then he left.He didn't leave for a minute and Mike was taking the pendulum from the fridge.Terre said, "you will be angry with the old man .""He will overcome it," said Mike.Mike put the bottle on the table and slipped into the booth.Someone knocked on the door."Come in.Two girls came in.Ellie recognized them but did not know their name.A brunette and a blonde.The blonde figure is taller than the black and blue-eyed figure. both of them are thin and thin. their trousers are tight with their hips, wearing heavy coats and smelling of perfume and smoke.They turned over their feet.Slippers, bare toes, painted nails.Ellie thought it was stupid.Their toes are about to fall.The brunette looked up at her and smiled."Hi, you."We got Pendleton," Mike said, lifting the bottle .".Cui remained silent, but his face changed as the brunette slid towards him.This expression made Ellie turn over and over in it.She thought of her toes, pale, unpainted, so ugly.She was glad they were buried in the boots.Her brother peeled down Pendleton's seal and pulled out the cork.He put the cork on the table and turned the bottle over.He slammed the bottle and closed the table.The Cork rolled onto the floor."It's not needed anyway.He slid the bottle to the blonde."I will stick to beer," she said ." There was a snobbish tone in her voice, which annoyed Ellie.The person with dark hair reaches out and grabs the neck of the bottle, her long nails are red.She had a drink and her throat massaged her whisky.She wiped her mouth.Without breathing out, she glanced at Atali."Who's this?Ellie was embarrassed and angry at the same time.She's not sure if the girl is really curious or is just looking for someone to pick."My sister.Don't worry about her.""She's cute."What's wrong with you?Terry said to Mike.Mike walked across the table with a smile and slid the bottle in front of Cui."No thanks.The brunette is still staring at Ellie.Ellie thinks she will soon be the main character of a joke.If so, then the dark-haired man will soon be her fist."Would you like a drink?"She didn't drink," said Mike, grabbing the bottle and taking another big sip."I don't like whiskey," said Ellie, staring at the narrow face of the brunette.A small knotted muscle poking out of her chin.She has a little lipstick on her thin lips, but other than that, she is very ordinary and beautifulAlmost black eyes."You don't?What are you drinking?Asked the girl."Dr. Pepper," said Mike, raising half.There are empty cans left on the table."She's just a baby."He put the bottle back, and now Cui reached out and put the bottle on himself."She doesn't look young .""She is."Mike shook a finger at her chest and looked at her as if her developing breasts made him sick.Don't let them fool you.He paused and then, still looking elsewhere, said, "Why don't you play games like Chase ?"?Cui put down the bottle, shook his head and rubbed Hilson's back with his lips."She's fine," he said ."Leave her alone.The fiber of her hair vibrated."Then you drink beer?Asked the man with dark hair.Ellie is still not quite sure about her tone but seems friendly.Yes, good beer.It won't give me such a headache.This is what her mother said.The only beer Arlie ever had was half a can of her father's beer.She remembered the bitterness of it, which brought puc up both her mouth and throat."Come have one.The dark-skinned lady took a seat near tree."Come on.You don't need to sit on it alone."Are you going to get my sister drunk ?"Then he drank another whisky.Ellie slipped off the bed and walked to the table.The smell of the girl is very strong, the smell of her mother, those cigarettes and perfumes.It's better to have a beer.She pointed to the tile fridge."Sorry.Ellie looked down at her boots, the hairy leather cracked, the laces were worn, and her toes were deep inside."It's okay.Just go get one."Get a bunch," said Mike."The old man is going to beat our ass.We drank all his Pendleton and got his daughter drunk."The first beer was as bitter as Arlie thought, but the second was easy.Before it was over, her head swam, and the warm light shot out of her cheekbones.Terre called rina with dark skin.Rina pulled a pack of cigarettes from her coat."I won't give you any of this," she said, shaking and ordering.The smoke floated through her lips, and the cigarette swayed there.Corina's eyes closed and she leaned against Cui, his arm falling on her.Catalina took off her jacket and Trey's hand rubbed thin clothes that covered her breasts.Ellie stared at her hands and her breasts.The sun floating on Corina's lips.Her internal organs are moving and sore."Those things are disgusting," said Terry ."Then he picks up the cigarette from between her lips, the skin sticks to the filter for a moment, pulls the skin out, then releases it, the filter dyed with lipstick, rina opens her eyes, fishing at Cui, Cui put it between his lips and took a deep sip.Corina leaned against Ellie and hugged her."I wish I had a little sister," she said, clinging to her fragile, thin arm.After a third beer, Ellie couldn't stop laughing.The warmth on her cheekbones has entered her neck, arms and legs.It lives in her blood and she feels she can get anything she wants and she doesn't walk away whenever Cui looks at her.She smiled and thought she was blinking.Or try to blink."She was angry with you," Corina said to Terry ."."You're fucking right," she said, laughing again.Mike said, "Don't swear again. bring us a beer .""Kiss my ass," Ellie said ."Everyone laughed now."Did you drink all my Pendleton?Cried her father.She didn't hear him coming in.There was a beer can on the table in front of her.She kept giggling."What's funny?Said her father.He grabbed the jar and picked it up.Almost empty."You're drunk."You're fucking right.Her father took off his hat, opened his long hair with his hand, and put on his hat again.His eyes were hidden behind his sunglasses, his hair stretched out from his nose and mixed with his beard.He climbed into a mud on his face.Ellie is not sure, but he looks sad.Mike said, "have a beer, old man.Don't worry.Cor na sat next to her, and Trey's arm was still on her.Green stood behind her father, his drooping bloodshot watching her."What are you looking?Ellie leaned out of the booth and said."A beautiful girl is getting worse and worse," said Greeny .".His hanging face showed a sneer expression, releasing warmth from her blood and bones for the time being.Her father said, "just like her mother ."He took the bottle from Mike's hand and pulled it for a long time and said desperately, "I want to buy this on aline ice."There was smoke and heat, the smell and smell of beer, and the giggle of her father and brother.She stumbled through the car House, opened the door and fell into the dark.She crawled with her hands and knees, and the cold on the ground penetrated into her palm and body.She thought of grinny spitting on the hard ground, but she continued to crawl.Her body shrank and her beer flowed out.Her hair hangs on her cheeks and floats out of her face.She knew she had vomited, but she didn't care.The poison she needs in her stomach.It spins the ground, rotates her, rotates the stars until she closes her eyes and tries to lie quietly.She thought she heard her father drunk in the evening air.Footsteps sounded on the ground.Who was it?Touch her with your hand and pick her up.In the evening, she flew past the horse and the trailer, with gray snoring and slapping.Then she went back to the car room and smelled mature.Corinna laughed.Where is her father?Gone.Maybe he took her.One hand touched her belly and slipped under her shirt, and a rough Palm moved her ribs to her breast.The smell of Copenhagen and decay filled her face.Her lips rubbed over her ears.Ellie tried to roll away, but she dropped a leg on her thigh and clipped it.Her head rotates and her eyes move.She knew that she was at the cab otor's house, on the berth of the taxi.She now knows that this is green, and he works very hard, which makes her very disgusted.His mouth closed around her ears and he sucked his mouth in."Don't do that," she said, with a hoarse and faint voice.She vomited her tongue.Her eyes adapted to the darkness.The crumpled bedspread surrounded her, wrapped around her legs and body, tied her to the bed and helped her put it down."Don't."It's okay .""His fingers poked into her ribs and she tried to slide them under the bra.She held his hand with her arm.He took it out of her shirt.His leg still held her in bed.His hand stroked her hair and touched her ear.That's how she wanted to touch her.Or someone like Cui.Not Greeny.He poked his finger on her cheek."Relax," he whispered.His fingers hooked up her lips."You look like your mother."Don't do this.Don't.It's not the way she wants it, it's not the first time, it's not anytime.He touched her lips."Stopit."I won't hurt you.His fingers slipped between her lips.She held her teeth together and wouldn't let him in.She would never let him in.He pressed her hard with his fingers and rubbed her into a ball.She pulled out her teeth and grinny's fingers slipped in and tasted like spoiled meat.She took a bite.Green screamed, "Damn it!"Arlie held it hard, and greeny tried to pull her finger down from her mouth and pop her head back and forth like a dog at the end of the rope.Blood of metalLike in her mouth.Green jumped harder."Let go!"His legs were loose, and Ellie let go of her fingers and shot her head to the ceiling.Her back was hit.She put her hand on her forehead."I'm not trying to hurt you.They will hurt you.She turned his long body over."Eat shit, Green.I hate you."She slipped down from the bunk and crushed an empty beer can and called," Dad?"There he sat in the captain's chair, his head backward, the light penetrated into his sleeping face, his chin relaxed, his snoring broke and wet, put your feet in gray socks poking out of his sandals."Dad?She added.His chest fluctuated.She touched him on the shoulder and he still couldn't move."I won't do anything," said Green .""Don't call Danny."He is pleading now.She grabbed her father on the shoulder and shook him.He snorted and his eyelids twitched.His head tilted so slowly forward that it seemed to be tied to the headrest by invisible straps.His eyes opened.She shouted to his face, "Daddy, grintley--But his eyes closed and his head shook and turned back.Her Palm stung his face.His eyes opened again.She slapped him again and the light was on.It brightened, then flashed, faded, he closed his eyes and his head tilted forward.He didn't wake up, she knew.Arlie asked him and Greeny to snoring on the bunk above him and begged oher not to tell anyone.That night, she had a sour stomach and wanted to know where Cui went, Mike the blonde, Corina.Catalina is so kind to her, as no one has ever done to her.Where is her mother?She and her boyfriend are by the river in the big Adobe and the wooden house.A horse exploded in the dark.It was Fly.She didn't stop her and didn't want to have anything to do with her.The gray mark and snorted, Ellie wanted to walk over and put her toes deep in his ribs to make him feel her way.Instead, she walked into the darkness, the lights of the town in the distance, the car House, the trucks were all dark, and the therodeo venue was almost empty.Ellie stopped and tilted her hands forward on her knees.Her hair smelled of vomit.She spat.Her head was beating and her stomach was rolling.She stumbled upon it when it passed, hoping she had a coat.Nowhere to go.Her mother was miles away and Ellie had no phone.If she does, that's fine.She won't come.Ellie walked past Chase's tent and stopped in front of the bullpen.An invisible hand came out of her throat and grabbed her internal organs.She lifted it up, but only bile came up.Bile suffocates her, cuts off her trachea, and steals all the air around her.She held the cold steel fence against her forehead.Her mouth was eager to open, and a deep throat retching from her mouth.It subsided.Tears flowed down her cheeks.Her mouth is tan.The trembling began in her hand, running to her arm, and then into her body.Chase's voice came in the dark."Arlie?"Don't bother me," she said, scaring her with her own rough voice."What happened?Why you crying?"I did not cry."Tell me what happened."He is closer to her."Nothing.She raised her head and grabbed the fence, calming her trembling hands.The rest of her is still shaking.In the dark, the dark body of the cow is like a huge whale.O'noble stood up and turned his huge head to her.The pain on both sides of her mouth, the sour taste in her mouth made her want to drum up again, but she didn't want the feeling of suffocation to come back.She threw her hand on her face, but they continued to shake, so she grabbed the fence railing again.Chase is close now and he reaches out and stroks her to shock her with a short nerve on her skin, feeling a fever and tingling, and the warmth brought to her by beer and rina has long since disappeared.She stretched her arm back and said, "Don't touch me."I don't want anything from you," he said ."."You will."Her eyes thro moved as if the dress had just hit her."Tell me what happened?She looked at Chase.He was dressed in cashmere pajamas and his trousers were stuffed into his cowboy boots.His forehead without a hat gives out a white light, just like the light from his brain."You need your hat.""Why?"I was dazzled by your beads.Why are you always so mean?""I'm not mean.""You are.""Not always."" What happened?He asked again.Her whole body was shaking and seemed to have left her.She let go of the fence and reached out.They werestill.Now more bulls are up.Her hand slid to both sides."Nothing," she said."It's cold.You should go back to bed."I won't go back."Where are you going ?"""I don't know.I can't go back.Greeny isthere."What did he do to you ?"Chase's efforts to make a strong voice deepened his voice.She did not answer, staring at the grinding bull with her eyes and smoking."Where do you have to stay.She got angry with him."Like your tent?Do you want some, too?""No.""Maybe I will.Might as well get it over.That's what we have to do.I heard what dad said.I heard him say to green.Women are nothing but two things.Fucking and fighting.That's what he said.""Stop it.I don't want to do that.In the faint light, his face seemed so painful and so serious that she almost laughed.But she didn't.Then she wants to hold him, hold him, and let him hold her.But she did not.Instead, she turned back and said to the bullpen, "I just want to stand here."Okay," he said.Ellie looked at him from her shoulder.He had his head down and his pocket stuffed with hishands.He turned and took a step towards the tent."Stay," said Ali.He stopped on the ground.She faced the bull again, sliding her arms over the fence and placing her elbows on the cross.In a flash chase came to her and did the same thing.She looked at the face of his child, the body of his son.She stared at the Bull's pen and thought he would not go so far.They were ground, strained by arlie's presence, ground, ground, and not lying down.
