Them There Hills

“Whats up in these here hills Jeremy?”

Jeremy smiled with a crooked grin, “Oh, nothing much just my kin folk and a whole lot of moon shine.”

” I here that people go up in these hills and never, ever heard from again”

Jeremy turned sideways with a pop belly stance and look at the stranger in the eye and with a evil look in his face said ” I reconned it’s true, we have our own way of dealing with outsiders.”

“darne gonit’, now you got me all acting serious as such.”

“Lets ride boy, nights coming and the misses will take a boot to my hide if I don’t get back with the chicken feet.”

The stranger smiles, and laughs. “Jeremy, you are sure a funny guy.”

“Funny is as Funny does, but never think for one minute that I’ll laugh at just about anything.”

“We don’t take kindly to strangers, thinking they are better then us”

Jeremy threw the chicken feet in the back of the truck, grab the stranger around the neck and look at him square in the eye and said, I like you boy, you’ll ok lets ride.
