Welcome to WDC from "Newbie Welcome Wagon" ! Hello there, Beholden! I’m reviewing this as a "The WDC Angel Army" Angel and to thank you for all the reviews you do on this site! To say I’m impressed would be an understatement. This is really, really good! As you might know, I’m a big fan of twisted/surprise endings, and this was both, not to mention hilarious as well! And to say I’m getting a little sentimental in my older age would also be an understatement; I’m so glad the farmer started having second thoughts about killing Runt, and I’m sure he was too! It’s a good thing Runt spoke up when he did! And after hearing that, I’m sure the farmer was willing to make a deal! This is very professionally written, my friend. I’ve reviewed over 12,000 items on this site. Stories, poems, articles, essays, you name it, and it’s not often I come across something of this ‘caliber’, for lack of a better word. The spelling and grammar was flawless (thank you!), and your prose was excellent! My only suggestion would be: Don’t change a word! One of the first stories I read as a kid was Charlotte’s Web, and this reminds me of that to a certain degree. I’d seen the animated version of the movie before, but it wasn’t until just a year ago that I saw the ‘human’ version of it with real animals ‘talking’. Bravo, Beholden! I’d definitely become one of your fans if I wasn’t already. Kee ponw ritin gon, thanks for sharing this, and have a really groovy day!
