Five Times Jack Was Bored
.Five
Plink.
Plink.
Plink.
“Almost full,” Sam said, squinting at the lamb’s foot and drawing out another thorn to drop in the bucket.
Jack jerked back into half-consciousness from where he’d been slumping over the equally bored lamb.
He sent up a quick prayer that the whole summer wouldn’t be like this and then nodded at Sam to continue.
.Four
Two-hundred miles, too many more to go.
He sighed, settling into his seat. Third state he’d gone through looking for Ennis, and hell if he’d get himself all excited again this time. Maybe next time he should just send a goddamn postcard.

“Hair like this don’t happen overnight, you know,” The hairdresser told him, arching her bleached eyebrows.
“Not my fault you got your license suspended, Jack,” Lureen said, turning the page of her magazine with a snap. “We’ll get to your show soon enough.”
Glaring, he went back outside to wait.

Ah, actually, I was envisioning Jack on Brokeback Mountain with his fellow herder. Which would make the summer a stark contrast to the next one that followed... :D
Oh, and for #1, well... Ennis might have been right if by "one shot thing" he meant "a love that will last a lifetime." :) But since I'm assuming he meant something else, he was lying, and probably realized later that he was lying.
And thanks so much for your kind words! Very happy to write them for you :D
LOL, yeah, my mom thought She-Ra was pretty cool, too. It always makes for an interesting way to introduce myself at parties ;)

aha,on Brokeback.(i'm not sure whether he was alone or not the first time.there's no mention about that in the story or in the film.but they stay on the mountain like for 2-3 months so i don't think they would send somebody alone for such a long time.but then again somebody could check him once in a while.hm.either way it's fine and boring :P but the next summer..:))
i didn't think he was meaning "a love that will last a lifetime." too.he was just trying to regain some control of "this thing".
She-Ra *is* cool.well mine is ok i guess.(Kayra).it's the name of a god in some mythology no one knows.
love
