102-word story
A chapter in the book Short
Hobby
by Bill Schott
Jeb finished putting the pyre together. The burning of the body would be in accordance with the Native American procedures he had studied. He enjoyed performing these rituals, and was especially glad to be authentic.
Edith was not a fan of any of this, and called her husband foolish. She referred to his passion as nonsense, and often sabotaged his efforts for spite. No interrupting tonight though.
Starting a small fire near the base, he watched it become a towering blaze within a few seconds.
After chanting a minute, he returned to his wigwam, hanging the new scalp near the entrance.
