Circus Jack - Chapter 4. The Wagon

Circus Jack. Chapter 4: The Wagon

This chapter follows the heart-wrenching journey of a lovable Jack Russell Terrier named Pepe who, stolen from his home, wakes up disoriented in the back of a wagon.

The story begins on a moonlit night as Pepe finds himself in an unfamiliar and confining environment, complete with the smell of hay, the rusty creak of springs, and the muffled voices of two unfamiliar men. It doesn't take long for Pepe to realize his predicament - he's been kidnapped, anticipated to fetch a good price for his special talent and smartness.

This chapter dives deep into Pepe's emotions as the sights, sounds, and scents of his familiar home fade away. His heart fills with fear and uncertainty and his body responds with longing for the open fields and the laughter of his beloved human family.

As the wagon continues its slow, steady journey, Pepe's situation intensifies. Trapped within a small, uncomfortable space, Pepe's confines offer no escape. His body aches — for freedom, for home.

The longer he spends in this confined space, the more sorrow consumes him. His eyes well up, discomfort knocks on his senses, and, succumbing to it all, he finally drifts into a deep, oblivious sleep. Stranded in the middle of an ordeal, one can only wonder, will Pepe be able to make a homecoming?
