Excerpt

“Baby cows attacked me,” says the student sitting on the other side of my desk. She brushes strands of her long brown hair from her face and focuses a pair of bright green eyes at me. “I’m not joking. They attacked me.”

“Baby cows?”

“Yes,” her voice rises impatiently. “You know. Little cows.”

“You mean calves?”

“Whatever.” She sighs. “They chased me. Thought they were going to eat me.” Her eyes bulge. “Bite me, at least. I had to run.” She leans forward and stares at me and I fight to keep from smirking. She’s a pretty kid, a freshman according to the ID card she’d presented as she came into my office with her complaint. About five-three, thin but not skinny, wearing only light make-up. Her name is Dana Degas and she’s eighteen.
