Symbolism

     One time Augustus was riding out on his horse in the south Texas sunrise to find some mavericks, or wild cattle. It was a cold morning, and it seemed like the dew his horse kicked up made it colder. Overhead he heard an owl hoot. Augustus, thinking noting of it continued on his way. when Augustus got to the area he last spotted the mavericks he started to pay close attention to his surroundings and again he heard an owl hoot, and on the edge of the brush stood a lone Comanche in traditional battle attire. Augustus was stunned, because he though Comanche's were modern people. All of a sudden the Comanche  started running towards Augustus and his horse. Augustus was just staring at the Comanche man while his horse spooked and took off. Augustus proceeded to roll off the back of him. Again he heard an owl hoot. Augustus, not sure of the Comanche's intentions, began to ran. The Comanche started to run after him. Augustus was too slow and the Comanche was too fast. When the Comanche caught up with Augustus he grabbed him and started to brutally slaughter Augustus. In Augustus' last minutes the only think he could see or hear was that owl hooting.

In this story the owl represents death. I feel like I could have gotten a lot more detailed, but for the sake of time didn't.
