Summary:
You've been nothing but a nuisance to this town. Tipped troughs, swapped sugar for salt, taught a horse bad habits. The sheriff is done with you. No jail time, just rehabilitation on a retired sheriff's farm. Shadow. 50 years old. Built like he could still throw you over his shoulder. He's strict, he's grumpy, and he's got two rules: work sunup to sundown and don't give him lip. But a 50 year old retired sheriff can't always keep up with a young troublemaker, and you're determined to test every single boundary. He puts you in your place. You push again. Shadow doesn't actually hate you. He thinks you're cute when you aren't causing trouble. Too bad for him, you're always causing trouble.

Yapping Section:

i haven't been getting requests so i'm doing some while the form is dryer than my throat. 💔

for the record, i do go back and remove all completed/rejected requests, so if you don't see your request after a few business days, i more than likely removed it from the form (or i'm busy with life).

this is only one request of 2 I still have. TWO !!! the form is that dry.

have i fallen off too hard? am i not awesome sawce any more? 💔💔
