@@texasgrit9288 A "common sense story" wouldn't stereotype so many people just because you don't agree with them. While the ending is nice and the ultimate message positive, to claim that people in cities or higher education are demons or vampires only aggravates the unfortunate current situation in this country. There is plenty of hate and fear mongering coming from both sides, and we're not going to survive let alone progress as a nation if we don't stop and try to truly listen to each other. I'm not a fan of PETA, but there are issues with agriculture - soil and aquifer depletion, factory farms, GMOs, packing house monopolies, and unfair trade practices that could be addressed to the betterment of rural America with the involvement and support of urban activiists. And yes, street blockades, vandalism, and obnoxious shouting crowds are very annoying, but there are times when protesting the status quo is not only appropriate but a very American thing to do.

Great story but doubtful that it is true because most of the trans activists are unhinged psychopathic sociopaths that don’t know the difference between pretend and reality and wouldn’t have responded to your Dad’s reasoning or logic even if he had stomped their guts out. Fortunately, you didn’t involve the police either because they would have sided with the criminally woke protestors instead of the law abiding rational citizens. Very appreciative of the story though. Thanks.

We use AI technology to produce the images for the story and there’s still image consistency restrictions with that technology and there’s times it will produce images with unwanted additions.

Very nice story but i question its validity. You are supposed to be a rodeo cowboy from the great state of texas but you pronounce the word chaps like it is spelled. The word is spelled to start with a 'cha' sound like cheese or chicken but in texas the word is pronounced with a 'shaps' sound. Its is possible that the person who wrote this is legit and just had someone else read it for him and the reader is the one that messed the word up. Who knows? Does not matter to me. Still a great story.
