The One That Got Away

I've got to tell you this incredible story about a friend of mine. His name is Tiny Moe. I've known Tiny all my life and there ain't any reason for him to lie to me. I have a hard time believing his story myself, but I do. 'Cause I was there!

Tiny and I were fishing one day last summer. We were at the old mill pond over on the Handly property, reeling them in one after the other. Boy, the fish were biting that day! We must have caught ten keepers.

I know Tiny didn't just make this up 'cause he always been more of farmer than a story teller. In fact he's got the greenest thumb of anyone in town. Last year he won a prize for the biggest tomato at the Harvest festival. His Garden is always loaded with the best plants. Anyway, when Tiny was rope’n up the rowboat, he noticed an odd wild flower in a patch of crab grass. It was like a sunflower, but it had long yellow petals.

When he picked the blossom, Tiny let out a yell that curled the hair on my neck. That flower must have had a thorn. That's what I thought. He kept yelling and flailing his arms like he was being electrocuted. Sparks were even jumping from the stringer of fish he was holding. About the time I figured he needed help, Tiny just up and disappeared. Faster then a blink, he was gone. I looked around. I even called out his name. He wasn't anywhere to be found. All that was left was a scorched spot in the grass.

For about an hour I wondered where ol' Tiny was. I'm not sure if I was waiting for him to come back, or just working up the nerve to go and face his wife alone. I was just starting my walk back to town when there was a big splash in the water behind me. I turned around and saw Tiny flat on his back in the shallow bank of the mill pond. It wasn't an easy job, but I pulled Tiny to shore. He's a big man.

The first thing I noticed when I touched him was that he was ice cold. I could almost hear his teeth a' chattering. His eyes were open, but I don't think he was all the way awake. When I got him to solid ground he started grabbing at me and fighting to get away at the same time. He was screaming nonsense mostly, except for an occasional "Help!"

It took a few minutes for Tiny to calm down. When he looked at me I could see real clearly he was crying. Big tears ran down his whiskered cheeks. His voice was cracking and strained when he tried to explain what happened.

"I don't know where it was but it was far away. I could tell by the way I was feeling."

Tiny looked into my eyes and pleaded for me to understand. "Do you know how you feel when you go on a carnival ride and get spinning around?" He asked.
