Random Bookshelf Reading 34

Random Bookshelf Reading 34

Question:  Today?

Answer:  "He'll ask you if you've ever shot anything, if you'd like to, if you ever thought about teaching your dog to retrieve.  Your dog will like him too much, will drop the stick at his feet every time, will roll over and let the hunter scratch his belly." (p.415)

From "How to Talk to a Hunter" by Pam Houston in What If?: Writing Exercises for Fiction Writers by Anne Bernays/Pamela Painter.
