Chosen Man
by Amazon Syren

     Gods, I miss Willy.
     He's been gone nearly a week, following the drum in his new uniform.
     I can feel the weight of the gold locket under my shirt.
     I wish I could have gone with him.
     I start towards the gate with a pig squirming under each arm, and— goddamn! there goes my blasted clog— and now one of the pigs has got away again—
     "Mary-Sue Jaqueline Jackrum! What in hell are you doin'??—" the old man's yelling at me like I've just committed murder...
     To hell with this.
     Willy never yelled.
     I'm cutting my hair tonight.
