My Spectacular Bid

Let me pull up my chair and tell you my story. But, my story is to be read as a conversation; not as some pure and perfect work of literature. It s not a story of fantasy or science fiction, but it s a story of mystery, intrigue, murder and young teenaged boys looking and finding a life full of adventures in a world that exists only at night.

Have you ever been sitting on the hood of a car, on a dark gravel road when heat lightning can be seen high in the late night sky. And, at the same time the Whippoorwill birds begin to sound off and the lightning bugs light up all around you, so many of them that you can see your friends face. All of that, while you listen to an eight track tape of some good rock and roll music. So, this is how two teenaged boys, named Dunny and SL spend their weekends as they live in a small town and grow up in Callaway County Missouri in the 1970 s.

The raw and energetic teenagers have to run and be free. They can be compared to the free and raw spirit of the champion thoroughbred ?
