My 99-word story for Carrot Ranch is also in response to Esme Salon’s Picture Prompt Number 8

February 28, 2022, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less), write about the farm life. Where is the farm and who are the farmers? What are they farming and why? How is the farm life? Go where the prompt leads!

I was chosen to go

My brothers could stay

A girl needed a friend they said

A girl like me who cannot see

I didn’t like the plan they had

I wanted to stay with mam and dad

We met in a field

I wanted to hide

She made the first move and stood by my side

Her arms embraced me

I was glad she was small

She wasn’t like the others at all

I have no name I wanted to say

My new special friend could read my mind

‘You’re Blindy the calf and my name is May.’
