The latest podcast tale from Coyote
Coyote meets the Spirit of Free Enterprise, gets a surprising offer and ends up with what he truly wants most of all.
Here’s how the story starts:
Coyote was sitting at the base of a large rock, looking out across the canyon to the mountains. It was his favorite place in all the world. The setting sun was catching the mountain peaks and turning the small clouds into puffs of pink cotton candy. Down below, a thin line of cottonwoods wove among the mesquites and palo verde trees, marking the tiny creek that flowed down the canyon after the rains. A red-tailed hawk circled slowly overhead and there was a constant rustling and chirping from the birds, as they settled down for the night. It was beautiful, it was peaceful, and Coyote was filled with a feeling of profound calmness and peace.
It took a little while before Coyote noticed that he was no longer alone. The figure trying to attract his attention was decidedly odd. It looked like a man in a business suit, carrying a briefcase (which was strange enough out here in the desert). But he, or it, seemed to hover a few feet above the ground, and to be surrounded by a golden nimbus of light.
“Right, my friend,” the apparition said. “Today is your lucky day.”
