The Cowboy and the Crow by Sedonia Guillone

[reviews_and_ramblings]

A very short story, less than 15 pages, that tells us of a love beyond myth and reality.

Patrick is a normal country boy and he is in love with John Crowfeather, a Native American Navajo from the nearby reservation. They met in high school and since then they never have been apart, and Patrick becomes part of John's family, two spirits together, something the Navajo allow and embrace.

But one month before John disappeared and since then Patrick is alone mending fence with only the companionship of his horse, Snoopy, and a strange crow. Is it possible that the old legends John's grandfather continues to tell him are true? John turns into a skin-walker? Patrick only knows that he will wait forever for his lover to return, cause he trusts him and if John goes away, he has a good reason and he will return as soon as possible.

As I said the story is very short, but it's very romantic. You can feel the deeply love between Patrick and John, and I'd be glad to know a little more about how they met and became a couple, I always like the puppy love of teens.
