The story of David vs. The Matrix? Does that really work?

This is a story I wrote a while ago, and I am going to write it here in installments. Let me know what you think and I will continue.

David and Goliath

This is a story of biblical proportions, chuck full of insperational goodies, and faith building characters. Get ready to be thrown for a loop as this story becomes a mistake of biblical proportions.

We meet David out in the fields watching his fathers sheep. David has always wondered why his father made him watch the sheep. I mean, there was a 20 foot high electric fence around them. They are not going anywhere. But still, David is forced to watch them. Most days consist of David taunting wolves or lions to give him something to do. If by chance one of them came after him, he would guide it to the fence. At the fence the sheep would get their attention and they would try to get the sheep. You can guess how that turns out. Lion sandwich for lunch.

Being bored most days, David would practice his aim. He would throw rocks at bottles, shoot rocks out of a sling at trees. You know, that sort of thing. And he was pretty good with a firearm.

However, David was only 14, too young to do many of the big things, like professional wrestling. Although those things did not intrest him at all. David wanted to be a farmer, but his father was not too keen on that idea. No, he would not be a farmer. He would sit and watch the sheep behind the fence. David's father never thought much of his dreams. Not since the dream where David was a paratrooper. The next morning he jumped out of a tree hoping that his jacket would catch enough air to slow him down. No, the medical bills alone from that bright idea made David's father think he knew what was best for the lad.

Like that little bit? I hope so. More to come later.
