"Forrest? That's an interesting name, all things considered we're out in wilderness as of this very moment. Maybe I can think of something to call you."
Shrub perhaps. Sap maybe. Maple? Who knew. A lot of possibilities swirled around coining a nickname for a man named Forrest. Cass tossed his Boonie over his dirty blond hair rather than choosing to let it get wet.
"A nice large State a few States away from Alabama," Cass responded. "Texas. Papa wanted to settle somewhere with a big ranch and nice church to congregate. Come hear the stories of a man who's been to war and lived to share the Gospel, he'd often say. He gets to retire peacefully while one of his sons gets to pick up where he left off."
He chuckled, looking at the perimeter. "I'd take the sights of France over blindly trekking into a forest, though. How'd your folks handle the news of you being shipped out?"
