The Hospice Indians

 

Running Fox had been an amazing brave.  There wasn’t anyone in the tribe that wasn’t impressed by him or who didn’t enjoy his sage advice and amazing stories.

He was one of those who could travel with ease through the forest and never step on a single twig or crunchy leaf. 

Last night, however, as he tried to quietly make his walk down the hall, his old bones snapped and popped announcing his location to every room he passed.  Even with Thunder Woman supporting his arm as he walked, he couldn’t help but feel the hawk would be coming for him soon.

Once back in his room he lay quietly looking up at the white-man television.  He pictured himself as Indiana Jones.  He envisioned the garage door slowly closing, He had to act quick if he was to dive and roll beneath it before it slammed shut.


“Toss me the whip.”


“No, toss me the bedpan, then I’ll toss you the whip.”
